In an earlier blog entitled 7 Ways to Make a Change in Your World and Re-Focus Your Life I mentioned Ho’oponopono.
Today is the day to talk a little about that. It’s an incredible tool for change.
Dr. Stanley Hew Len worked at the Hawaii State Hospital
clinic for the mentally ill and used Ho’oponopono to heal the criminals who
committed violent crimes against humanity.
The violent criminals were housed in this clinic, as they couldn’t be tried for reasons of
mental illness, until they were deemed
mentally competent to stand trial.
Needless to say he basically healed the people in the ward,
he was there almost four years and only a few patients had to be relocated when
the clinic eventually closed. His
teacher, the late Mornah Nalamaku Simeona taught him this art.
Dr. Hew Len took each patient file and sat with it, waiting
for what would arise in him, sadness, fear, anger, resentment, etc.
He would then do Ho’oponopono into that
aspect of himself working at healing himself. First recognizing this was an aspect of his
creation, then regretting that his perceptions created his reality, asking for Divine guidance in healing it and
removing it, and being grateful to the Divine for doing so and guiding him in
it.
Your perceptions are your reality and you are responsible
for them.
If someone is depressed, the kids
are out of control, another is angry, you are responsible for the part of you that
perceives it.
The world is your
creation, it’s not your fault, but you are responsible to heal that part of you
that perceives the person, place or thing as a problem.
He thought of the
other person as aspects of himself that needed healing. I
believe this is an important point to make as it allows us to go within
deeper.
Scientifically, if there is
really only One energy and it flows through us all then truly the other is part
of yourself. Healing yourself will in
turn positively affect the other people around you.
When we do onto others, it is doing onto
ourselves whether the actions are positive or negative. Have compassion for the quality in them that
is irritating you, work with it in yourself as well if you can see it as an exacerbated
reflection of something you do not like about yourself, whatever comes up in
you heal that.
However challenging it
may be to look at yourself in this way, it is liberating if you dare to take
the journey.
You are responsible for your creation of every reaction you
have.
Whenever an issue or reaction
comes up in the Ho’oponopono way, say "I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you." I suggest you say this to yourself as well as the other for bringing it to your attention.
This is an ongoing process as
moment to moment issues arise, but you can change your life. Make sure you get
to a feeling of compassion and the emotion of the words when you use them. If
done in sincerity things will change.
Take responsibility for you.
