Here’s how to get the most out of this course

Use the book, Unconditional Forgiveness, as a reference guide.
The efficacy of this course will be enhanced if you also read relevant chapters in the book, Unconditional Forgiveness, by Mary Hayes Grieco.

You can also download and listen to the audiobook, The Peaceful Heart, both of which give valuable background and context, and in-depth explanations about the forgiveness processes.

Both resources are available at: www.forgivenesstraining.com/store and the book is also on Amazon.

Get a dedicated notebook or journal for your lesson reflections, and make copies of the worksheets so you can do the forgiveness exercises again and again, as needed. Some of the lessons have materials to print out, so have a folder to collect your assignments as you go along. (There is a “materials” tab at the top of some of the pages)

Let your intuition guide you in the flow of this work.
Ask your soul to lead this process for you. See if it’s best to tackle minor things first, or to dive in on something pressing today. See how you are led to forgive yourself first.
There’s no right or wrong way to do this, just your way.

I recommend that you do a lesson a day for a while, and with some of them you might want to stay and repeat them for a few days, to make sure the lesson penetrates you in a real way. When you get to the forgiveness healing exercises, take your time to prepare, and to do it, and to integrate the experience, spending a week on clearing each one of your important issues.

Don’t do forgiveness work during a hectic stressful time when you need to be at the top of your game at work. Healing takes energy, and it can leave you “spacey” and unfocused (but peaceful!) for a few days.  Do it before a day off instead, or on a long weekend.

Leave at least three days in between each significant forgiveness experience.
You’ll need time to integrate and get used to your new self each time. You can start doing little issues anytime.

Does one of your stories feel overwhelming?
Break it down into smaller facets and categories of hurt, and try doing one part of it at a time.

Get support! Get a best friend, a therapist, or a sponsor to sit with you in support of your process.

Still too hard?  Call us at The Midwest Institute for Forgiveness Training (612-874-6622), and we’ll advise you or arrange a telephone session for a fee.

Facing into your core challenge?
Come to Minneapolis for a Personal Retreat with Mary Hayes Grieco, and she’ll get you through it in a few days.
This work has also proved effective on the phone and by Zoom.

For big issues, plan on being more restful for a few days afterwards.
Get plenty of sleep and drink plenty of water. Treat yourself gently, like you’re “post-op” with a medical event. You are making deep and potent and long lasting changes.
