Louise Hay’s Forgiveness Sets Me Free!

Why forgive? Because holding a place of “I am not willing to forgive”, you are affecting your own well-being, physically, emotionally and spiritually. People often hold back on forgiveness because they think it condones betrayal or abuse from the other person. It doesn’t. However, as long as you resist forgiveness, you are giving the other person or situation power over you. You are allowing yourself to be held hostage. BUT! Forgiveness is one of the most difficult lessons we have to learn. Until we can move into forgiveness we are stuck in our stuff. No matter how justified we feel we are to have our resentments and hatreds, it still hurts us. We cannot bring good into our own lives as long as we are sitting in our prisons of “self-righteous resentment”. For our growth and healing we must rise above our need to stay hurt and let go of the past. Forgiveness is truly a gift to yourself, and miracles happen when you forgive, or are even willing to forgive. Whether this is your first time in discovering the beauty of forgiveness or you’re returning to the practice, there will be something for you in Louise Hay’s Forgiveness Sets Me Free! This course is here to support you and inspire you.

Lesson 1

Why Forgive?

Forgiveness is one of the most difficult lessons we have to learn. Until we can start to forgive or are even willing to forgive, we are, well and truly, still stuck in our stuff. Join me for this introduction to the course and how forgiveness not only sets you free, but is also a personal journey towards healing and moving on from trauma. And if you would like the support of a Louise Hay Affirmation card, just leave a comment in the classroom.

Lesson 2

Forgiveness - Where To Begin?

Today starts with a short meditation to prepare us to begin the forgiveness process. I will then share a short awareness practice to gently introduce you to forgiveness work. Even if you have done forgiveness work before, you can always go to another level. We have never “done it all”. If you have any questions or any insights after today's session, please feel free to leave a comment in the classroom.

Lesson 3

Forgive Yourself

Sometimes, the most difficult person to forgive is yourself. During today's lesson, I will take you through an exercise and meditation to assist you in forgiving yourself for everything you feel guilt and maybe shame for. It's time to forgive yourself and set yourself free.

Lesson 4

Release The Guilt And Anger

Before we get to the forgiveness work today, we need to consider two underlying emotions. The first is guilt when it comes to forgiving ourselves. And the second one is anger (and resentment) towards the people or situations we need to forgive. If we bypass these emotions, the forgiveness process is likely to be incomplete. Releasing your anger doesn’t hurt anyone else or put negative vibrations into the Universe – it releases you! Join me for a very powerful exercise to letting go of any suppressed emotions so that forgiveness can be more profound

Lesson 5

Forgiveness - The Key To Freedom

It takes a lot of courage to be willing to forgive. And, as Louise Hay always said, we are never done. This Martin Luther King Jr is perfect for today; “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.” Have you ever written an anger letter? It is is very powerful and such a freeing exercise. I will gently guide you to write your letter and experience the letting go and freedom that forgiveness can bring you. If you would like a Louise Hay affirmation card selected for you, just start a new comment thread and I’ll let you know what comes up for you

Lesson 6

Childhood Family And Relationships Forgiveness

First of all today, I will share a powerful childhood family exercise that you will need to have an extra chair by you to use. No matter how loving, we know we didn’t grow up in perfect families. When we are under stress and not totally centred, most of us have a way of reacting to situations. To change any unwanted patterns that come up for us, we need to forgive our parents or other caregivers AND understand that we don’t need to repeat this old behaviour. I will close today's lesson with a Letting Go Meditation.

Lesson 7

Ho'oponopono

Trigger warning - this lesson contains references to themes of killing and someone being shot which some individuals may find distressing. One of the most powerful forgiveness techniques is the Ho'oponopono prayer, an ancient Hawaiian Kahuna practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. The practice teaches the importance of love and forgiveness through a process that allows the participant to rid themselves of burdens. We will look at this ancient practice and see how it can be applied to modern life. And, as always, if you would like a Louise Hay affirmation card selected for you to support you further on your forgiveness journey, just start a new comment thread.

Lesson 8

Forgiveness Relating To Our Bodies

Today’s lesson is all around forgiving anything and everything connected with our bodies and food. Forgiveness is a fundamental piece of the foundation for permanent change. Sometimes that change can occur very quickly. Where do you need to forgive yourself and others in relation to your current eating habits or how you have treated your body up until now?

Lesson 9

Forgiveness At Work And Relating To Finances

Who do you need to forgive the most at work? Or someone you may have worked with in the past but the memories still affect your peace of mind. Is there forgiveness needed in your life around money and finances? These both can be very big subjects and the exercises can bring a lot up for you so be very gentle with yourself as you process the work we do together. Would you like a Louise Hay affirmation card to be selected for you? Don’t worry if you’ve had several before. These cards are here to support you as am I!

Lesson 10

I Choose To Forgive

The last day or lesson of the course will commence with an adapted Louise Hay meditation for forgiveness. The forgiveness awarenesses exercises today are all about taking back your power. And to close the course, we will take a look at some wonderful Louise Hay affirmations that you can use going forward or that can inspire to create your own personalised forgiveness affirmations.

This is my favourite course so far on here! I came across it at the perfect time and it was hard at times to do the forgiveness exercises, but it has helped so much. I felt guided the entire time and feel much lighter 🙏

Not by accident, I scrolled across & chose this course in a fragile time which helped me be more open to receiving its great gifts. Highly recommended! I think engaging in an actual guided experience is most powerful in the practice( yes, I need a lot of practice) of forgiving!

This 10 day course is so powerful! I released so much doing the exercises and meditations. I remember LH saying these are powerful exercises and good to do at least once a week to clear out any remaining rubbish. I hope to incorporate into my weekly routine. My favorite affirmation is "I give myself the gift of freedom from the past, and move with joy into the now." Thank you Liz for this course and it is true, Forgiveness Sets Me Free! Highly recommend this course 💖🙏

I have just finished this course on forgiveness. It was so eye opening. I have always swept painful memories and feelings under the carpet and I was very surprised that I had built up so much resentment and hurt relating to past events. The person I needed to forgive the most was myself. Using work by Louise Hay Liz guides us through a number of powerful exercises to gently work through forgiveness which leads to release and healing. I didn’t realise how much I needed this course. I shall continue with affirmations and may well do the course again as forgiveness is a process which takes time. Thank you so much Liz for this thought provoking and well put together and delivered course. Also for all your support which has been invaluable 🙏💖
