WHAT IS “THE RELATIONSHIP MIRACLE” AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
THE RELATIONSHIP MIRACLE –
Every 2nd Monday of the Month at NYACK YOGA @ 42 MAIN.
DETAILS AND DATES BELOW.
Belief is a powerful thing. It’s a knowing of absolute certainty giving you a feeling of unshakable strength. Belief only comes from experience. You must be a witness to really know something is true.
In this way, I’d like to share with you something I believe in: IMAGO DIALOGUE.
IMAGO DIALOGUE is a method of partner communication that naturally and systematically creates harmony where there was conflict. It shifts a mood, creates connection, and with practice, it will heal and transform a marriage, relationship or partnership. I KNOW THIS. Why? Because in addition to serving clients by teaching them how to use this powerful technique, I have walked the path myself and used Imago Dialogue with my wife and counseling partner, Amy, to save, heal, renew, and transform our partnership on all levels.
Amy and Michael Sherman with Harville Hendrix
IMAGO DIALOGUE is something that must be seen, felt, heard. It is still a relatively new method, developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix, the author of the best selling book, Getting The Love You Want. The capacity for Imago Dialogue to not only save marriages and families, but also to enhance communication and leadership in business, remains untapped. There is such a need for Imago in our world, and yet it remains relatively unknown, obscure and underutilized.
We want to put an end to that.
We are offering a public demonstration of Imago Dialogue once a month in Nyack, NY. We are calling this event “The Relationship Miracle” – because it truly is a miracle. Imago is so much more than a simple communication technique. It opens the door to connection when previously there was only betrayal, negativity and frustration. It brilliantly answers questions about who we attract into our lives and why. It shows us who we really are, who we’ve been, and who we can become. And it helps us to uplift our spirits and feel a sense of renewed sense of positivity with the people in our lives.
“The Relationship Miracle” will be an unforgettable experience, something you will want to come to again and again. It will be a place to get your questions answered about any relationship in your life. And it will be a way for you to watch conflict be turned harmony right before your eyes. We will be demonstrating how to use this technique, actually working through real relationship conflicts and turning them around in moments, using the reliable system of Imago Dialogue to do so. And we will show others how to do the same, whether they come alone or with a partner.
Miracles are going to happen every second Monday. Consider yourself invited.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
If you are married or in a committed partnership, you’re going to learn a lot (whether or not your partner comes with you).
If you’re single, you’re going to learn why certain people and patterns keep showing up.
If you’re divorced or separating, you’re going to learn how to get along better.
If you’re a “nearly-wed” or newlywed, you’re going to see how to get it right the first time.
If you’re a helping or healing professional, you’re going to get a chance to network with others, meet new people and learn about something that will truly add value to the lives of your clients.
If you are in a position of leadership in your business or organization, you’re going to gain a sense of how Imago Dialogue add an intangible quality to your team, allowing for more problem solving, creativity, focus and trust.
The “Relationship Miracle” is every 2nd monday of each month at NYACK YOGA @ 42 Main Street, Nyack, NY 10960. $15 per person/$25 per couple. To RSVP call 845 – 641-8843

AMY AND MICHAEL SHERMAN WILL SHARE A REAL-LIFE IMAGO DIALOGUE –
SHOWING YOU HOW A MOMENT OF CONFLICT IS IMMEDIATELY TRANSFORMED.
Here’s the thing, folks… if you only knew how bad the energy was before that call, you’d be amazed. In the middle of us heading down a troubling direction, we stopped. Amy asked for an Imago Dialogue. All of my defenses said, “No Way!” But my memory of continued, unparalled success when using Imago Dialogue in moments like these. So we recorded it. (And fought about the recording…) and then we went through this piece like a dance, like a bad day in a Tango Class. And by the end of it, everything had shifted, we relaxed, we had answers and the energy was light and warm between us.
Some people diminish or dismiss the benefits of Imago Dialogue. What I say is listen. Listen as if you were listening to a song, or as if you were looking at a painting, or were learning to dance. It’s a meditation with language. It requires daily practice, for years, to master. When done right, it is an utterly reliable way to transform the mood of any moment.
Amy and Michael Sherman of Courageous Loving
Let us know your thoughts.
Much Love,
Michael

LISTEN TO A MESSAGE ABOUT THE BRUNCH WORKSHOP FROM AMY AND MICHAEL SHERMAN OF COURAGEOUS LOVING. (NOTE: may need to raise your volume!)
If you’re married or in a relationship, you know that life with your partner can have its ups and downs. Sometimes we’re going on cruise control, feeling happy and moving with the flow of the day. Other times we can find ourselves growing distant, withdrawn and pulling away from our partners. And for some, it’s a good day if we’ve avoided a fight. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, too often we forget to take care of our relationship, and give it the attention it needs.
Anyone who plays an instrument knows you’ve got to make sure you’re in tune if you want to sound good. If you give a talented guitar player an out-of-tune guitar, good chance he is going to sound terrible. But once you tune-up the strings, even a beginner can generate a sweet sound. So it is with marriage and relationships. If we can “tune-up” the relationship, which often means simply paying attention to it and listening to our partners better, then even the most desperate couple can feel an immediate sense of peace and hope.
How do we know this? Because we’ve seen this happen again and again and again.
As a couple who have worked in a professional context with hundreds 
of people on their relationships, we have witnessed dramatic and nearly instantaneous changes as partners learn new ways of tuning in to each other. Whether you’re a “couple-in-trouble” or a “couple-who-cuddles,” simply sharing a few hours with other people, learning some new ways of communicating, can truly help you take your relationship to the next level.
That is why COURAGEOUS LOVING is offering a 3-hour Couple’s Tune-Up Brunch Workshop. We want to invite couples of all kinds into our home, to enjoy a meal and learn together. We have a beautiful location, with a spacious living room and an acre of land (weather permitting) to enjoy a meal, connect, learn and heal together. We will create safe space for all of our guests to come in and have a new experience.
COUPLES WHO ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP WILL EXPERIENCE:
A) A sense of renewal, hope and positivity.
B) A feeling of being heard and respected.
C) A deep sense of being appreciated for who you really are.
D) A release from negativity and hurtful communication habits.
E) An understanding of one’s partner that will liberate the relationship.
F) A new feeling of confidence in one’s relationship and oneself.
WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?
Couples of all kinds. If you are married, if you are getting married or thinking about it, if you are in a long term relationship, if you are divorced and still in consistent connection with your former spouse, if you are having problems in your relationship or if you are happy in your relationship and want to experience something new, LGBT couples, co-parents, life partners.
Here’s what some of our former workshop attendees have said about their experience:
“Amy and Michael created an atmosphere that was very comfortable and inviting for me and my partner. It was non-threatening, not intimidating or overwhelming. I appreciated the celebration of every step of progress.” -Angela M., Courageous Loving Workshop Guest
“This is the kind of work that not only can have a profound impact on individuals and couples but has the potential to create a global tide of understanding and thereby peace.”
-Alan B., Courageous Loving Workshop Guest

My wife, Amy, is a dynamo.
Amy Sherman of Courageous Loving
She is absolutely committed to helping people save their marriages. Listen below to what she has to say about her mission and how she helps people:
A marriage is like a martial arts dojo. It is a space to commit yourself to a lifetime of training. What you put into it is what you get out of it. By crossing through the difficulties and the dangers, you grow into a person that is deeper, stronger, happier and more loving than you could ever be alone.
For some, to save your marriage is like saving yourself.
And this counts for marriage or any committed partnership.

Peace.

Everything is okay. It’s all gone. Get in the car.
For those COURAGEOUS LOVERS out there who have been following, the passage of Amy’s father this past week has blossomed so much mystery in our lives and our work. We have been penetrated by an energy of lessons that is bigger than us, and we want to share it with you in a meaningful way.
We found Amy’s father, dead, in his apartment. We were alerted by the super of his building in the Bronx. We sat there with a cop, waiting, as his 2 day old dead body lay there smelling. The funeral home showed up and took him away.
There’s so much mystery and coincidence that is coming out of this, stories we feel will stir your soul.
It will come out over time.
Goodbye, Paul.
Peace.

Are your PARENTS still living in your head?
IF YOU ANSWERED YES OR NEED OTHER SUPPORT, SUBMIT A QUESTION HERE: www.FreeRelationshipCoaching.com (one time only!)
Before we get to the blog post, a sad note. This weekend, my wife Amy received a call that her father had passed. This event has brought up so much for both of us in our life and our work. Amy and I want to be respectful of our privacy, but as being “products of the process” of Courageous Loving, there are so many lessons that have come out of this experience – and these lessons we want to share with you through this blog over the coming weeks.
For myself, my mission is to help people turn suffering into laughter. Not always an easy thing under these circumstances, but it’s what I was born to do. So in this way, I started thinking about relationship patterns, particularly how our parents caretaking of us has lead to us developing the relationships we have now, be they in our personal or professional lives.
In the audio below, I’ll offer a tip of how you can recognize those patterns, and if they are still serving you. LISTEN….
If any of this resonates for you – about your parents and the affect they are having on your current relationships, kindly leave a comment. If you need more support, send me an email or submit a question for free coaching (above).
Thanks and much love,
Michael

IF THIS TOPIC IGNITES A QUESTION IN YOU ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP IN YOUR LIFE, GET YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED FREE! CLICK: HERE
Listen to Michael Sherman of Courageous Loving tell the story of Ben and Marta – a real-life couple whose true story was the inspiration of this blog post.
You know when you go to the movies and watch the previews — within something like 10 seconds you can tell whether or not that flick will be a stud or a dud? RELATIONSHIPS are like that. You can tell everything you want to know about the destiny of a relationship right from the very first days of its infancy. And this counts for professional relationships, too.
**Met an awesome guy, but I can’t stand his house? –Well, you’re always going to want to have dinner at your place.
**This girl is amazing, but she smokes? -Sorry, her mouth is going to taste like a Merit until she quits.
Think about a relationship you’re in or that you’ve been in. Did it start with mysterious passion? Or was it a casual rebound. Did you promise yourself “I can make this work…” Or were you find yourself drowning right off the bat.
What about at work. Remember when you were hired? What did you think about your boss? What about that new client? Were they on time? Did they pay you? Try to remember your first interactions — see if they left clues for things to come.
The template for your RELATIONSHIP DESTINY is set within the infancy of your relationship. Period. If you met while you were high, that’s now your history. If you took her to a rodeo and she hates you for it, that’s now sealed in memory. If you marry the girl from math class, you will always be seen as the “high school sweetheart” couple.
Does that mean you can’t change the relationship? Absolutely not. In fact, that’s what’s fun and amazing about this work – witnessing people create incredible turnarounds.
Quick story: several years ago, we were settled in an office space doing our work. A neighbor moved in to another office – bad energy right from the start. Territorial, noisy, controlling – you get the picture. We ended up moving out (not just because of the neighbor, but that was a factor). Well, that neighbor and I had a chance meeting recently. Now not only do we share some business together, we’re also becoming friends, and neither of us knew how much we deeply had in common.
See – if you play the wrong two notes together – they sound terrible. But if you play those notes in an entirely different song – you’ve got brilliant music. You’ve got to change the context in order to find the freedom. So it is with any relationship.
That said – the original context is set and remains until changed. It is set within days, sometimes minutes. Are you willing to pay attention to the clues of your initial meetings with the partners in your life? Are you willing to see the initial context in a totally new way, even flip it on its head? Including the context of how you were born, and who brought you into this world?
Think about it.
