Ho'oponopono

With the beginning of the New Year, I find that I have gone into some deep reflection and quest to find more about why I make the choices I do in life.

 

In the last months since the start of my 365 days journey, I have written a lot about my experiences and lessons learned through what some consider "rose colored glasses" maintaining a very positive attitude.

 

I don’t intend to ever be content to live life any other way- but I must admit for the first time, I am realizing and coming terms with the fact that my past is influencing who I choose to date and how I deal with those relationships.

 

Everyone has to experience an ouch and that I did! The result- it has exposed me to feelings I haven’t had to face in 30 years and the process is enlightening and cleansing.

 

I am going deep within- finding myself. I know that for my soul mate to appear I need to be free and ready to receive the gift he will be.

 

A very kind and wise man has introduced me to Ho'oponopono- the ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness for oneself. Described in the dictionary as "mental cleansing"- it is in this belief that to prevent illness one must atone. It likens the concept of cancer survivors I know believing they were fine until tragedy or stress came into their lives.

 

I am learning the mantra and would like to share it with you.

 

I am sorry

Please forgive me

I love you

Thank you.

 

Interesting to me is that the start of the Ho'oponopono is Hope.

 

Have you ever thought about looking deeper into your history before looking for the future?
