Recent newsletters I've send have talked about ho'oponopono. Most people I've talked to since haven't quite understood what it is or how to do it. Since I read the book Zero Limits by Joe Vitale, I've been practicing ho'oponopono in many different ways. I believe I have found the most efficient way to practice it for me and would like to share it today. Realize that if I am sharing this with you then I have found this method more useful in some cases then EFT, Meditation, Feng Shui, or anything else.
Peace in the Gray Room
The healing method I am about to describe (and realize when I say healing that I am talking about physical, emotional, financial, relational healing) beings when you visualize yourself in an empty gray room, sitting behind an empty gray desk. This is the room where all your problems are solved. As you sit behind the desk you are not IN your problems but OBSERVING them from behind the safety of your desk, so realize that what ever problem you are facing, whether emotional, relational, spiritual, that you are safe and the things you will bring before the desk are simply images you have created.
In Front of the Desk
I want to talk about three different scenarios that you can bring before the desk. The first is an individual. This could be someone that has hurt you, an ancestor who has passed a health problem on to you, or an individual you have hurt in some way. This method is for healing relationships and other problems that involve just you and one other person. The second scenario is multiple people. This method should be used when you need to bring multiple people in front of your desk that have all caused the same problem for you, or that you have affected in some way. The third scenario is useful if you have experiences where people are irrelevant and you simply need to erase the bad memory from your mind and soul. In this case a TV should be brought before the desk where you can re-watch and eliminate the memory.
The Three Scenarios
I will now explain the three scenarios you may visualize in order to start solving your problems. After that I will go into detail on how to use these scenarios to heal yourself and others from poverty, health issues, emotional issues, and so on.
Picture what it might look like in your head. The chair behind the desk represents you. The chair in front of the desk represents the other person that has affected your life. The circle above the desk represents Deity, however you define it, and the circle on the other side of the room represents a mediator of some kind. If you are Christian it could represent Christ, if you aren't it could represent a loved one that has passed away.
If the problem you are trying to solve involves more then one person then another diagram might represent what you see in your head. The many chairs would represent people involved in the problem you are trying to solve or many ancestors who have passed on a hereditary problem. Also, one of the many chairs could represent you as you were during your encounter of the problem or experience. If you are in need of healing and reconciliation as well as everybody else you might want to put yourself in the crowd and look at yourself.
This is the last and perhaps quickest way to address a problem. Bring a TV into your room and replay experiences you would have done differently in your life or times when you would have changed the outcome if you could. For example if a job interview didn't go so well and you are being hard on yourself you might sit at the gray desk and watch the experience. What I am about to share with you now, could even change the past.
The Healing Begins
Now that you have these images in your mind, the healing may commence. It starts along this path and follows the outline below:
Taking full responsibility for the person(s) or the experience and admitting that it came from you.
This is perhaps the hardest part of the whole process. Each of us inherently blames things on others and when we see a bad situation it is always seen as the result of something outside ourselves. The scientific and spiritual truth however is that each experience and each person that is a part of our life we have created. (See Perspective Life coach/Holographic Universe)
To give you an example of how we create our own experiences and relationships let me give you an analogy. Think back with me when you were a child in a store and you wanted to buy something real bad, let's say it was a watch. The watch shimmered and you had just enough money saved up to buy it, it was the one thing you wanted and you wanted it bad because it was to you the coolest thing in the world. You bought it and brought it home. For a few days maybe it was still exciting to wear the watch and you cringed when you got it dirty or scratched. A month goes buy and the watch starts to change. You don't notice it anymore, it doesn't seem as shiny. What's happened is you've changed the way you've viewed the watch so the watch has changed. The actual watch hasn't changed but because it has become commonplace the way you see it has. So to you it has changed.
When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change
So step number one in to recognize that our problem or experience is our fault, even if it makes no sense to do so, we had some part it it or it would not be in our lives. Step number two is to express love and repentance to Deity once we have the feeling that we are truly responsible. This can be done by simply acknowledging Deity above us (as we sit in our gray desk) and saying: I love you; I'm sorry (feeling responsible for the situation); Please forgive me; Thank you. Once you have done this, look back into the gray room in front of your desk. If there is nothing there then you got it, the experience and the emotions should be gone. If there are remaining people or experiences in the room then try to identify what you haven’t taken responsibility for yet.
You Can Change Your Life
What I have just shared with you is one of the grandest secrets I know to health, wealth and happiness. If you have any questions feel free to ask me because this method has truly changed my life and the lives of countless others I have shared it with. May you always take responsibility for your experiences and give it to God. The mediator in your life will do His part to mend the situation as you say: I Love You; I'm Sorry; Please Forgive me; Thank you; To God, with real intent.
