What Others Are Saying about Tom


Tom’s coaching sessions are like a magic bullet. I don’t give out compliments easily, but every time I am stuck, he cuts right through the BS with me, and really identifies the issues I am struggling with. Very often, the issues I refuse to look at. But with his guidance, boom – I faced them, and I overcame them. And then I looked back, and thought, wow how easy THAT was! And his follow-up email support is worth every cent, too.

Over the past 10 years I have spent a couple of thousand hours working with various psychological change models and sat in session with many, many people. Tom is, by far, one of the most effective processors I’ve ever worked with. His ability to be present with you and guide the process to the desired outcome is fantastic. He has helped me significantly. I highly recommend that you work with him.

Your style has an incredible effect. I felt much lighter, and definitely possessed a greater “can-do” attitude after our session. I was able to perceive my environment in an all new light which was much clearer than before. I attained greater intuition and more accurate perspectives when it came to my doctor-patient interactions as well as my interpersonal relations. It is very comforting to know that a stress-free, clearer mindset is just a phone call away – thanks to you.

Thanks for the awesome coaching session! Even though I have been practicing the Sedona Method on my own for over a year, I was able to get a much more complete release/resolution of the issues you worked with me on! I very much like the increased ease and freedom that has contributed to my life. What I found particularly wonderful in the work you did with me is how incredibly present and nonjudgmental you were with me. Thanks again!

Thank God for the blog, that’s what I say…it’s really helped me, to the point that I have cut and pasted bits of it onto a piece of paper that I carry round with me…it’s got me back into releasing and helping with a big issue right now…fear of catching the dreaded lurgy…a big, big nasty fear lurking beneath the surface…When i read it, I hear your and Hale’s voices combined and it REALLY REALLY helps…thank you…

Reading Tom’s latest blog entry on his website has become one of the ways that I get ready for the day ahead. I have always been the sort that needs an hour or so before I take the proverbial plunge into the world. Tom’s words help orient me to my core goals (if there is such a thing) and remind me that there are indeed kindred spirits out there on this wonderful, strange, and sometimes seemingly lonely spiritual path. He relays his experiences with the Sedona Method, and with life in general, with such honesty and a great sense of humor. As I read, I find myself relating to most everything he says and I always walk away with tidbits of wisdom that help me throughout my day.

Thanks for the link to your website. I enjoyed reading it. You definitely have a gift for writing and expressing yourself. I’m glad you’re moving forward with it. I particularly enjoyed “We are free from the past” as this is something with which I often struggle — allowing the past to define and limit me.

Tom was able to quickly identify some root issues that were keeping me stuck and gave me some very clear exercises to focus on to dissolve these issues. Another quality I found very admirable in Tom was his compassion; each issue was treated as just another set of feelings with none any more important than another. Tom also provided many ways to approach a problem; he is not wedded to any specific process. His in-depth knowledge was obvious by his ability to shift gears easily when necessary. I’d highly recommend Tom as a coach.

I highly recommend Tom Stine as a Sedona Method Coach. I received the introductory Sedona Method course on CD and it is an excellent program. However, Tom enhanced my ability to use the program so much that I am lost for words. You could think of the recorded program as a map and Tom as a guide. He has patience, vast knowledge, compassion, focus, and several other positive qualities that have enhanced my Sedona Method journey.

Guru Quotes

The you that you think of as you (and that thinks of you as you, and so on) is not you, it’s just the character that the underlying truth of you is dreaming into brief existence. Enlightenment isn’t in the character, it’s in the underlying truth. Now, there’s nothing wrong with being a dream character, of course, unless it’s your goal to wake up, in which case the dream character must be ruthlessly annihilated. If your desire is to experience transcendental bliss or supreme love or altered states of consciousness or awakened kundalini, or to quality for heaven, or to liberate all sentient beings, or simply to become the best dang person you can be, then rejoice!, you’re in the right place: the dream state, the dualistic universe. However, if your interest is to cut the crap and figure out what’s true, then you’re in the wrong place and you’ve got a very messy fight ahead and there’s no point in pretending otherwise.

—Jed McKenna

But beauty, real beauty, ends where intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of a face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don’t think. A bishop keeps on saying at the age of eighty what he was told to say when he was a boy of eighteen, and as a natural consequence he always looks absolutely delightful.

—Oscar Wilde

Intelligent practice always deals with just one thing: the fear at the base of human existence, the fear that I am not. And of course I am not, but the last thing I want to know is that.

—Charlotte Joko Beck

Q: Since all is pre-ordained, is our self-realization also pre-ordained? Or are we free there at least?

A: Destiny refers only to name and shape. Since you are neither body nor mind, destiny has no control over you. You are completely free. The cup is conditioned by its shape, material, use and so on. But the space within the cup is free. It happens to be in the cup only when viewed in connection with the cup. Otherwise, it is just space. As long as there is a body, you appear to be embodied. Without the body you are not disembodied — you just are.

—Nisargadatta Maharaj

So the most important thing to realize is this: Your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose. Inner purpose concerns Being and is primary. Outer purpose concerns doing and is secondary…. Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet – because it is the purpose of humanity. Your inner purpose is an essential part of the purpose of the whole, the universe and its emerging intelligence.

—Eckhart Tolle


Buddhism stands unique in the history of human thought in denying the existence of a Soul, Self or Atman. According to the teachings of the Buddha, the idea of self is an imaginary, false belief which has no corresponding reality, and it produces harmful thoughts of ‘me’ and ‘mine’, selfish desire, craving, attachment, hatred, ill-will, conceit, pride, egoism, and other defilements, impurities and problems. It is the source of all troubles in the world from personal conflicts to wars between nations. In short, to this false view can be traced all the evil in the world.

—What the Buddha Taught by Walpola Rahula
