Ho’oponopono: A Tool for Supporting Healing

Good morning Divine Ones and happy Self Love Sunday. What is your most loving choice for today? For me, it is to spend this time sharing whatever thoughts or wisdom I am guided to share with you.

I love this time of year. It’s a delightfully chilly morning here in South Florida and I’m enjoying my coffee with the patio door open and fresh air gently flowing into my home. I can hear the sounds of birds chirping, squirrels talking to each other and wind chimes singing in the back yard. It’s a good day!

When I asked Spirit what to share about this morning it was all about the physical manifestation of dis-ease and healing. This topic is likely motivated by a recent experience with one of my clients who has been a part of my private practice since 1996. When we first started working together, she was very fit and athletic, an incredibly strong woman, intelligent, a professional who continues to work into her mid 70’s, and in spite of her mostly healthy lifestyle, she’s experienced several health challenges over the years.

She has reached out to me for support whenever she’s had a medical procedure, surgery or life threatening dis-ease. Our journey started when she was diagnosed with lung cancer for which she chose a path of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Our sessions supported her healing around these diagnoses and procedures and since she lives so close to my home I was able to help her with injections to support her blood counts while she was receiving chemotherapy. She recovered from all of this and in time, returned to her active lifestyle.

As time has passed, she’s had hip replacements, healed from minor traumas and two years ago had a recurrence of her lung cancer with removal of the lung from which she continues to heal and now she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She jokingly says to me that she has no idea what it is that I do or how it works, she just trusts that it has helped her so she continues to request that I support here on her healing journey.

Why is it that some people manifest so much dis-ease during their lifetime and others do not?

There are so many different ways to answer this question. If we consider the why from the holistic perspective, we can look at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of dis-ease. From the physical perspective, there are many causes for dis-ease including genetics, lifestyle choices, diet, exposure to toxins, etc. When we consider the emotional and mental causes, mind-body philosophies tell us what goes on in our bodies is directly connected to our thoughts, beliefs and emotions. They either support wellness or cause dis-ease. And then there is the spiritual aspect of who we are which, depending upon our beliefs, can be a source of strength for us to move through this human experience or it can bring up feelings of abandonment and fear.

If we look at dis-ease as something that is happening “to” us, then we can feel a loss of empowerment which moves us into victim consciousness. This will always bring up fear which can inhibit our ability to heal. If however we look at dis-ease as something that is “for” us, then it’s all about the human construct offering us an opportunity to learn valuable life lessons that we are co-creating on some level of consciousness.

As I look at my own human journey, I have a couple of chronic medical challenges and have had a few significant physical traumas, 4 surgeries (all by the age of 36) and several experiences of colds and flu-like dis-eases. There was a time in my life that I thought this was all happening “to” me but that has not been true for me for many years. And what I have noticed since my shift of beliefs to what goes on my body is “for” me, I have manifested no surgeries (for the past 36 years) and the trauma I had as a child that resulted in PTSD has been healed, thank you God/Goddess.

I do not look at the manifestation of dis-ease as a failure in my ability to be in a healthy relationship with myself or to be conscious of my thoughts, words, feelings and actions. I simply see it as my body talking to me and letting me know that something needs to be cleared. It is also a call to be more conscious of who I am BEing with myself and others and my life experiences … a call to be more loving.

We all approach our healing in our own unique way and we certainly have endless options to choose from. I invite you to consider bringing in the holistic perspective when you are going through a healing process and decide how you will approach it physically, what emotions and thoughts are in need of being addressed and cleared, what beliefs are in need of releasing and new ones brought in and what is it that you need that will bring you into balance with yourself and your world. Creating health and wellbeing is a full time endeavor and when we approach it this way, we are empowered every step of the way.

I love knowing that I can enhance my health and wellbeing by the choices that I make and that with Ho’oponopono I can release the seed thoughts and cause for dis-ease and thereby prevent its manifestation as well. Choosing my path consciously for what I bring in and what I let go of to find balance with myself, my relationships and my life experiences.

To utilize Ho’oponopono as a tool to support your health and wellbeing, you might consider this general cleaning statement:

To whatever memories are in me that are the seed thought and cause for anything that limits me from feeling balanced in my body, mind, emotions and connection to Spirit, on any and all levels, through my ancestral lineage, that I am to atone for, I love you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you.

And so, on this self love Sunday, wherever you are, may you find peace in the moment, feel gratitude for it all and may you find Ho’oponopono to be a supportive, loving tool that you can choose as one of your most loving choices today and every day. And so it is.

To whatever memories are in me that are the seed thought and cause for the suffering of Humanity, through our shared lineages, on any and all levels, that I am to atone for, I love you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you ????????????????
