Harmless? Hale Dwoskin's Sedona Method & Larry Crane's Releasing Technique have had a devastating effect on my family. My wife's business in now $10,000s in debt from financing these 7 day "releasing" retreats over the last year. The relationship between my wife and our teenage childern has been transformed to a delicate fragility at best. Our marriage has been ravage

LoriW - THANKS for your message (of hope?) ... I wish my wife would ultimately reach this realization ... but she seems so caught up in what you describe as the "pseudo-Buddhist philosophy" aspect .. the spirtuality, the religoniousity it seems to offer? .. the path to having it all and doing nothing???

well -- my wife went to a sedona seminar .. where she met a releasing partner and released with him on the internet to a second seminar, where the releasing turned to an affair ... followed by a crane seminar for the two of them ... 3 RT seminars in 6 months, family finances in shambles and the marriage relationship left for the connectedness and freedom of the releasing partner?! .... critical
