Mary Hayes Grieco is back to unearth primal abandonment Jennifer is experiencing. Jennifer Nelson is working to permanently forgive her mother. We are turning the earth to the sun is how Mary describes the healing that occurs as you grow through the Eight Steps to Freedom.  You can print a copy of the steps by going to www.wementor.com and click on August 22, 2016, episode 35.

Mastering oneself is complex. We need to address our stubborn ego and its complexities. We need to examine the armor or shields we put around our heart to keep it safe and protected. To get to the space of vulnerability, we have to release the shame that binds us layer by layer. We must get at the emotional truth about our story.

Mentoring Tips: 

1. Keep working through the Eight Steps to Forgiveness. Repeat prior episodes with Mary and Jennifer to refresh your memory, or listen for the first time all the way through 2-episodes with those two together. Three episodes with Mary. And, four episodes with Jennifer. This may help prepare you for change.

2. Do step 2 and 3 of the Eight Steps to Forgiveness. Express your feelings exactly as they are inside of you. Then release expectations from your mind, one by one. Forgive everything. Drop in to the full irritation and expression of your grief and heartbreak. Take time for tears. Where is your pain showing up? Tight jaw? Headaches? Pain in the neck? Let it get bigger and more distinct. Continue on. The depth of pain doesn’t last forever. Let it go. Go to the next steps.

3. Step 8: eventually you will be able to see the good in the person or situation. Permanent forgiveness occurs when you thoroughly and comprehensively perform each step. Allow the process its own time. Integrate the change into your life. Start living anew, freed up.
