Subject: What I Learned About Powerlessness and Perfectionism

Hi Friend,

Does this ever happen to you? (It does for me!) Sometimes I have gotten so busy trying to make things perfect, or right, that I fly right past opportunities.

I spent a great deal of my life being more afraid of getting it wrong by taking action than I was excited about what could go right if I did take action.

My perfectionism had my life force all bound up in a little box.

I remember when my friend, Dr. Larry Dossey, came to me in my dreams with a lesson about perfectionism. It couldn’t have been more divinely timed.

I was in the middle of interviewing guests for a summit I hosted a while back. I had some people on that summit that I deeply respected, and I wanted to get everything just right, including Larry and his wife, Barbie.

In the dream, Larry was showing me that sometimes being “messy” is a whole lot better.

Just a few days after I had my dream, as I was interviewing Larry and Barbie, I told him about my dream and asked him for his thoughts. He smiled and explained his theory on “messiness.”

I’m paraphrasing here, and this is the gist of what he said.

Messiness allows space for the opportunities you couldn’t have planned for. It’s where you see how Consciousness is working for you. It’s also where we build strength and resilience, as we are exposed to the unexpected. Nature is messy and unpredictable, and yet it works beautifully.

I was so grateful for that message. I started relaxing and enjoying the people I was privileged to interview, and got a lot less caught up in my ideas of what would make the event perfect.

What was perfect was our decision to come together to create something in service to others. That’s what mattered!

Of course, I wanted my guests and attendees to have a fabulous experience. And I worked diligently to create the best summit possible. But if I had remained solely focused on that, I would have been preoccupied and missed the really great moments that happened spontaneously throughout the summit.

With too much attention trying to control everything, I would have become powerless as I tried to get everything right instead of being true to the magic that was unfolding.

When I’m in my perfectionism I get caught up in doing research and over-planning. It can sabotage me in actually getting things done, trusting in the Universe, and enjoying the act of creating.

Since that dream, my perfectionist has grown a lot quieter, allowing me truly get more done and enjoy the moment.

As you probably know or would expect, there’s a natural perfection that emerges—when along with the planning—there is room to let the magic in too!

We all have limiting beliefs and patterns of behavior to shift out of. So, if perfectionistic habits are one of yours, I’m happy to report—a little messiness really feels good.

Holding you in my heart and songs,

What people have experienced:

When I came to Misa for help, my health was so bad. I was facing an enormous decision about how to move forward and struggling emotionally while going through it. At the same, time I was also dealing with some of my family coming at me about what they thought I should do for treatment. She is a gift. She held loving space for me when I needed, showed me a different way to look at things, so that I could find some peace and healing. She has an amazing gift for sound healing. I cannot fully express in words the love and gratitude I have for Misa. With her help, I found a way to let my defenses down with my family and find love for them when we weren’t on the same page about how to handle my situation and I also found a way to let go and allow healing to happen when I was getting news that I didn’t want to hear. I’m at a point where I am handling things much better now on my own and it’s because of my work with Misa that I am able to do this. Misa is intuitive, kind, loving and non judgmental. She is a true healer. —Amber Ortiz

Misa’s holding meditation is profound. Doing it every day for about a year laid down a strong foundation of love in my heart, and inspired me to do private healing sessions with her. In our 6 sessions, Misa was a keen and compassionate listener. She gently navigated me through grief that at times felt overwhelming, and helped me clear a path for Divine guidance. She helped me understand that everything can be medicine. She taught me about listening with soft eyes and soft ears. Her video course, Doorway to the Divine, was a wonderful companion to our work together. It provides a coherent and doable structure for approaching the healing process, which I find invaluable. I am deeply grateful for my opportunity to work with Misa!—Shawna
