Ho'oponopono as Way to Make a Change in Your World & Your Consciousness

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.

A Little About Prayer - Use it to Make a Change in Your World

Prayer was one of the 7 ways I listed to make a change in your world and re-focus your thoughts to something new.   

Since it’s Sunday and we live in the West most Westerners observe this day as a day of worship in their faith.   

How apropos that we would discuss a little about prayer today.  It’s amazing how our lives are orchestrated to fall into the Divine plan.

Prayer is not a state of begging, or making you look bad, or putting yourself down.   

Prayer should be a place of celebration of what is, noting what you would like to change within yourself, noting what you would like to better, asking forgiveness, forgiving yourself,  and then asking help in reshaping the thoughts you want to change into their potential for greatness. 

Enjoy your faith, taking pride (not arrogant pride, but the healthy aspect of doing your best and loving you in that) in what you do to celebrate it.  That would be a healthy sense of respecting yourself and what you do. 

Have respect for all things, everyone is doing the best they can.  Give thanks for where you are at, it’s a beautiful mystery, find it’s beauty in all that you see and give thanks for each moment of this.  You will raise your vibration. 

So, if you are adverse to the word prayer or God you need to clear it.  It’s a great place to start on your path of healing, clear whatever it is within yourself that chooses separation.  

Remember you deserve all the support you can get, you may as well start with the Spring from which all good things flow.  Return to building a relationship there.

Have a wonderful Sunday in whatever way you choose to celebrate another day of living.

How Does Sound Affect Your Body?

I could show the negative or positive effects of different sounds on different people through the use of muscle testing, but that would require you to be in my presence. 

In essence, one tests a muscle in the clear to make sure it's strong and functional.

If that same muscle that was strong in the clear goes weak when music is played for you, that music did not support your body.  

The same thing happens when you lie, a once strong muscle will test week.  

This is a generalization of muscle testing, and you want to make sure the person doing the testing is clean in their thoughts and intent, as they can affect the outcome.

Your body will lead you to the truth if you tap into it.

Certain sounds and music compositions have the power to adversely affect you, or positively support your health and well being.   

Ultimately, you cannot lie to yourself. 

The body looses energetic coherence between its conscious and subconscious beliefs when you lie - they are no longer in harmony.  Your subconscious mind knows your lying and you can't fake it out, this will cause a disharmony within yourself and depletes energy from within.

The muscle will go weak if you do not like something, if the sound doesn't resonate positively with you  it is not contributing to creating harmony within you. This may not be a conscious reaction.

Also, it’s not a good plan to fall asleep with noisy, cantankerous vocals going on as your subconscious mind is always alert and your conscious mind is not there to be a filter when you are sleeping.  

What happens is that any information you are exposed to while you are asleep bypasses the conscious mind and goes right into the depths of your subconscious mind.  

You would then be programming yourself with whatever the words of the music are saying.   

Again, if you’re hearing talk about society being bad or anger at establishment, it will program you for more of this thinking pattern. 

Who needs more of that?  

 Remember, focus on positive thoughts, things which you want to create more of in your life. 

Wherever your thoughts go energy flows, so be wise with what you program yourself with.  

Remember, choose music that creates harmony in your body, mind, and spirit.   Include vocals of a positive nature to support your entire being.  

If you would like to read a little more about what I have written regarding sound and its affects on your health and well being read yesterdays blog.  

Sound and It's Varying Effects on Your Health and Well Being

Sound has it’s varying effects on your health and well being.

Sound, being a frequency, plays a large role in the world of energy medicine and therefore a huge contributing factor in effecting your health positively or negatively.

Many studies have been done on the power of sound. 

One study was done with plants showing that rock music negatively affected their growth while classical music seemed to positively enhance their growth. 

Country had no effect. I always thought that was funny.  

Don’t tell the country music industry. 

Certain sounds will definitely support your well being while others will adversely affect it. 

Fingernails on a chalkboard, you know this causes an eerie sensation up your spine. Not something you want to continually subject your body to.   

Someone singing with a perfect pitch will cause harmony within your body and good feelings, where off pitch, like the fingernails on the chalkboard example, will cause a prickling sensation within you.   

Always move toward that which causes harmony within you.   

Certain music is known to make it easier for us to study and absorb information, while other type do nothing but distract us. 

Have you ever heard of "Mozart Makes You Smart"? 

That music is specifically selected to help stimulate your mind into a state of being receptive to learning.  You play it in the background while you study and it helps with retention and recall of information.   

There are certain music compositions you would play to relax and quiet your mind. Choose melodies that create calm and serene feelings when falling asleep at night so that adrenaline isn’t released.

Choose melodies that are more stimulating during the day for heightened awareness. 

Choose music that creates harmony in your body, mind, and spirit.   Include vocals of a positive nature to support your entire being. 

Color Plays a Role in Your Health

Color affects you in many ways.  What you are seeing is a reflection of light bouncing off of a solid surface.  You are actually reacting to the frequency of the light representing the color. Energy medicine once again.  

You are getting exposure to a variety of colored light throughout the day.  Mostly green if you live in a rural area, then again, since it’s still a little wintery there is still a lot of brown out there.  Thank God for the color of the sky during those wintery months.    

This chart depicts different ways in which some basic colors or light frequencies affect you.
  

 The color of light pink has a sedating effect on our nervous system and is now being used in mental institutions, prisons, and detention centers to calm people down.   Here's a fun fact that you may want to try out, wearing Baker-Miller pink therapy glasses has been known to suppress appetite, as well as decrease aggression. 

Science is now starting to prove what people have innately known. The color red has a stimulating affect on our nervous system.  That is why bull fighters have used it for decades to stimulate a bull into action, where the color gold was used to calm it down.  What’s amazing is that the bull is affected by the color even when it is color blind. It is actually the frequency of the color of the light that effects us.

You subconsciously respond to the effects of color whether you consciously recognize it or not.  

 Here are some commonly referenced relationships between color and what it affect:

Color                     Energy Center (Chakra)                 Organs/Body Parts

Red                        base of the spine         adrenals, kidneys bladder, colon, spinal column legs

Orange                  sacral                              reproductive organs, genitals, gonads, prostate,spleen

Yellow                  solar plexus                  pancreas, liver, gall bladder, stomach, nervous sys.

Green                     heart                               thymus, circulatory system, arms, hands

Blue                        throat                             thyroid, parathyroid, lungs, mouth

Indigo                    forehead                        pituitary gland, left eye, sinus, nose, ears, eyes

Violet                     top of head                    pineal gland, cerebral cortex, right eye, CNS

Notice what colors you are drawn to and how they affect you.  Notice what you are craving to wear, or what you are adverse to.

Becoming more present with this will give you insights into how you are functioning, what you need, or how you are treating your own health issues without even being conscious of it.

Try wearing colored glasses in 15min intervals around the house and see how it affects you.

Sunlight's Role in Your Health

Light definitely plays a role in your health.  Many of the original natural health centers around the world had their patients get twenty minutes of sunshine on their bodies a day; helping to boost patients overall mood, sense of well being, and general health assisting in resetting their circadian rhythm.  

Of course, we all know that our bodies convert sunshine to vitamin D when we are functioning in a healthy state.   It is always best to get your nutrition from the source rather than a supplement if possible.   

Use your wisdom when gaining direct sunlight exposure.  Physical exposure to sunlight in certain areas of our planet may quickly lead to overexposure such as at  high altitudes or locations around the world where there is a known thinning of the atmosphere’s ozone layer.   

Within all things, use your wisdom to guide you. Twenty minutes of direct sunshine on your hands a day is a healthy place to start.   

Natural light affects your circadian rhythm which consists of behavioral, physical and mental changes occurring within a 24 hr period of time. This is how your body is attuned to the cycles of day and night, which plays a critical role in your health. 

A master clock that controls your circadian rhythms consists of a grouping of cells within the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, or SCN. The SCN is located in the hypothalamus.  The SCN receives information from incoming light, as a feedback from the optic nerve which relays information to the brain. The SCN then triggers the release of melatonin which makes us sleepy, affecting our circadian rhythm.

The hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis is the main controller and feedback mechanism of your body, controlling hormones which relate to every conceivable body function. 

This has effects on our immune system, feeding and breeding, our ability to fight off disease, hunger and obesity, repertory rate, diabetes, blood pressure, depression, and mental faculties.  This rhythm controls our sleep wake cycle so it’s vitally important for brain function and body regulation. 

 Sleeping at night and being awake during the day would obviously be the best choice for promoting a healthier state.  The natural light which you would be exposed to during daylight hours contributes to a functional circadian rhythm which in turn would promote overall health and well being. 

If this is not possible for you to keep a schedule that allows you to be awake during the day do seek out a natural light system to use in the lighting in your home when you are awake.
