Day 7: Sessions with Misha - The Art of Forgiveness

Day 7 of 19: Sessions with Misha as I describe various components of what makes Love Grows sessions with me the ideal place to heal, restore and new yourself and your relationships.

Forgiveness is an art, a sacred art.

The beauty of forgiveness is it is a gift for both the recipient and the one who extends it,  for when we forgive we liberate both our mind and heart. Holding on keeps us incarcerated to the past. It skews our vision and limits our ability to be fully present.

There are some experiences/incidents that are so damaging that it is unhealthy for you to allow Person X access to you or your energy; and that is okay.

Some of these individuals may include family members. There are some individuals who will not be accountable for their behavior, actions, words, etc. Some may even attempt to blame you for their unhealthy, abusive behavior. They will not own their role in the situation either choice or because they are incapable for a myriad of reasons. Forgiveness in these situations is for you, to open up the space to allow yourself to heal. Holding on to anger, hurt, rage, etc. hinders your ability to grow and experience your life fully DESPITE this incident.

Love Grows Sessions with Misha is a place where we, together will practice the art of forgiveness….especially learning how to forgive self.

Day 6: Sessions with Misha - Vulnerable

There have been many advancements in our world. We can:

• order items and receive them next day
• video chat with people across the globe in different time zones
• have groceries delivered to our house
• surgically change our appearance and sex
• wake up in one time zone/country and fall asleep in a different one
• connect with people across the globe via social media platforms
• express ourselves, by ourselves via podcasts, YT and other platforms
• create businesses online

But can we be vulnerable and transparent?

• Do you have a place where you can be your unapologetic authentic self?
• A place where no one will judge you or try to utilize the 3 Cs (convince you to do, say, feel X | convert you to Y | convince you of Z)?
• A place where you are free to FEEL whatever you are feeling without someone trying to label it as something more ‘socially acceptable’ or try to fix it or you?
• A place where you can find, learn and/or use your voice?

Love Grows Sessions with Misha is such a place. A space that was built and only operates with transparency and vulnerability.

A place where you do not have to pretend to be anything. A place that can handle your truth, fears, doubts, dreams, hopes and love. A place where you can remove your mask and BREATHE. A safe space where you can practice living without the mask and when you are ready, return to the world revealing your authentic, beautiful, strong, light-filled, healthy self.

Day 5: Sessions with Misha - Authentic

There are many messages, both overt and covert, which imply we are not good enough. Messages pushing products to make us more or less of something. “When, Then” messages…”When you achieve X, then you will be Y.”

• Where are the spaces celebrating the present version of us?
• Where are the spaces recognizing that life is on the job training, not a simulation, where we have the luxury of ‘practice runs?’
• Where are the spaces filled with grace, patience, encouragement, celebration, high fives, support and to serve as a witness to the various spaces where we have grown and where we are growing.

Love Grows Sessions with Misha serves as one of these sacred places where your authentic self is welcomed

and expected because I know this ‘present’ version of you is the ONLY one who has ALL of the power to make changes, heal, plan, celebrate, honor, rest, renew, nurture and love ALL parts of you and your journey. Your ‘past’ and ‘future’ selves do not have this gift or power.

Day 4: Sessions with Misha - Healthy New Norms

There are many behaviors, thoughts, communication styles, coping & conflict resolving strategies that are ‘normal’ but quite unhealthy. Take a moment to think about the ‘norms’ in your family are they healthy?

• Which ones have you implemented into your life and relationships?
• Are they working for you?
• Are they cultivating or constricting the quality of your relationships and life?
• Are they moving you closer or further from the life you desire?
• Are they harming or healing?

Love Grows Sessions with Misha is a place where we will gently identify the things working and no longer working for you.

I know your parents did they best they could with the tools they had; there is no blame there. However, as an adult you have the autonomy to choose which practices (if any) you will continue to practice and those that you will discard.
