New Directions in Holistic Brain Balance series vol. 4 Even in 2016, Self-forgiveness remains the forgotten super-hero of growth. Slow-Motion Forgiveness(SM) increases your effectiveness as a forgiver by clarifying and simplifying hands-on use of forgiveness. How? It converges the wisdom of NLP, Habit Body and ecumenical spirituality into a sequenced method for self-healers or client support. In a client situation, Slow-motion Forgiveness shifts more responsibility away from the facilitator and onto the client. The client has to do the counting; and so, is more likely to claim the healing action. Since NLP, we've learned more about habits. We've learned we learn everything thru repetition. This means all our issues and PTSD are also created thru repetition. Any issue we wish to reduce or release can be viewed as a habit pattern no longer serving us. Once we understand 'repetition creates habits, ' we can use repetition to release them. The easiest repetitive behavior Conscious Waking Self does is counting, so we use counting to delete the repetitions thru which we learned to feel jealous, or abandoned, or angry, etc. Slow-motion Forgiveness is a good way to go thru inner drama and stories no longer serving us--for the last time. There's more detail. Composing an effective Forgiveness Formula is an art you can improve on for a lifetime. This all works best done with 'God as your 'Partner.' Beginning with a prayer of protection and ending with a prayer asking our Higher Guidance to remove any and all negativity released, makes the process safer and more Grace-filled. The indivisible smallest units in psychology are one habit and one choice. Each of us as soul balances between our habits and conscious, deliberate choices. Our internal stories are built on these but not in a 50-50 ratio. Bruce Lipton says the ratio is 95% habits to 5% free choice. All these learned repetitions together are called our Habit Body. Our Habit Body is run by our Habit Librarian who knows where all our habits are and how many repetitions it took to learn each habit we wish to be free of. Experiments suggested are for home use. To get the most out of this method, work with a Healing Buddy, where you trade time with each other. Readers already able to self-muscle-test will get the most out of this method and this booklet. SMF has been field-tested since 2001 with clients, with consistently excellent results. Anyone who can self-test, or who is willing to learn can use SMF. No counseling training is required to do this. Counseling training can only make you better at this. Healing intention is your greatest Tool That Heals. We activate our soul by attention-intention. This is why everyone can forgive. Be aware of what moves and shifts. With practice self-sensitivity increases.

A young mother's life is forever changed and her faith in God is broken when her son in diagnosed with complex physical disabilities. Restore and grow your faith as you read about Hilary Yancey's personal journey back to God. Three months into her pregnancy with her first child, Hilary Yancey received a phone call that changed everything. As she learned the diagnosis-cleft lip and palate, a missing right eye, possible breathing complications-Hilary began to pray in earnest. Even in the midst of these findings, she prayed that God would heal her son. God could do a miracle unlike anything she had seen. Only when Hilary held her baby, Jack, in her arms for the first time did she realize God had given her something drastically different than what she had demanded. Hilary struggled to talk to God as she sat for six weeks beside Jack's crib in the NICU. She consented to surgeries and learned to care for a breathing tube and gastronomy button. In her experience with motherhood Hilary had become more familiar with the sound of her son's heart monitor than the sound of his heartbeat. Later, during surgeries and emergency trips back to the hospital with her crying, breathless boy, Hilary reproached the stranger God had become. Jack was different. Hilary was not the mother she once imagined. God was not who Hilary knew before. But she could not let go of one certainty-she could see the image of Christ in Jack's face. Slowly, through long nights of wrestling and longer nights of silence, Hilary cut a path through her old, familiar faith to the God behind it. She discovered that it is by walking out onto the water, where the firm ground gives way, that we can find him. And meeting Jesus, who rises with his scars to proclaim new life, is never what you once imagined.

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chair of The Elders, and Chair of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, along with his daughter, the Reverend Mpho Tutu, offer a manual on the art of forgiveness—helping us to realize that we are all capable of healing and transformation. Tutu's role as the Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission taught him much about forgiveness. If you asked anyone what they thought was going to happen to South Africa after apartheid, almost universally it was predicted that the country would be devastated by a comprehensive bloodbath. Yet, instead of revenge and retribution, this new nation chose to tread the difficult path of confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Each of us has a deep need to forgive and to be forgiven. After much reflection on the process of forgiveness, Tutu has seen that there are four important steps to healing: Admitting the wrong and acknowledging the harm; Telling one's story and witnessing the anguish; Asking for forgiveness and granting forgiveness; and renewing or releasing the relationship. Forgiveness is hard work. Sometimes it even feels like an impossible task. But it is only through walking this fourfold path that Tutu says we can free ourselves of the endless and unyielding cycle of pain and retribution. The Book of Forgiving is both a touchstone and a tool, offering Tutu's wise advice and showing the way to experience forgiveness. Ultimately, forgiving is the only means we have to heal ourselves and our aching world.

Look beyond the hurt and use the power of forgiveness to move forward. Forgiveness is one of the best tools we have at our disposal to create a better life for ourselves. Leave that baggage behind as you put the past in the past— where it belongs! Forgiveness is an amazing tool—it can transform your life in just one second if you decide that you want to use its power. There’s a reason we refer to anger, resentment, and disappointment as “baggage.” We carry it everywhere we go. We’d like nothing more than to drop it on the side of the road and forget about it. But how do we do that? How do we process the past and then leave it behind? These 101 revealing true stories show you how. Learn how to manage your hurt with or without an apology and focus on what’s really important. Read about marriages being strengthened, families getting back together, grown children coming to understand their parents, and people overcoming the worst transgressions—even crimes. These men and women walked forward light and free, and you can, too—onto the bright, warm, welcoming road ahead. And, because no one’s perfect, you’ll also learn how to apologize if you’re the one in the wrong... and how to use the power of self-forgiveness to find peace and happiness.

There is a point in our lives when we seem to stand in the center of our own decision about who we are and how we want to be. It comes after enough of the past pain, resentment and grief have been spent, enough deep holes and yearnings have been filled, enough baggage from the past has been dealt with. Now that we've restored ourselves to a "good enough" status, we're ready to meet life more or less as it is happening. At this point we need to recognize which attitudes and behavior patterns will serve us throughout the rest of our lives and which need to be let go. Can the lives we have envisioned for ourselves flourish under the weight of carried resentment from the past? What does it cost us in terms of happiness and well-being to hang on to the blame and hurt?
