Self I-Dentity
Through Ho'oponopono
Being 100% Responsible For
The Problems of My Clients
By Ihaleakala Hew Len, Ph.D. and Charles Brown, LMT
In traditional approaches to problem solving and
healing, the therapist begins with the belief that
the source of the problem is with the client, not
within him. He believes that his responsibility is
to assist the client in working through his problem.
Could these beliefs have resulted in systemic
burnout throughout the healing profession?
To be an effective problem solver, the therapist
must be willing to be 100% responsible for having
created the problem situation; that is, he must be
willing to see that the source of the problem are
erroneous thoughts within him, not within the
client. Therapists never seem to notice that every
time there is a problem, they are always present!
Being 100% responsible for actualizing the problem
allows the therapist to be 100% responsible for
resolving it. Using the updated Ho'oponopono
approach, a process of repentance, forgiveness and
transmutation developed by Kahuna Lapa'au Morrnah
Nalamaku Simeona, a therapist is able to have
erroneous thoughts within himself and within the
client transmuted into perfect thoughts of LOVE.
Her eyes brimmed with tears. Deep trenches enclosed
the corners of her mouth. "I am worried about my
son," Cynthia sighs softly. "He's back on drugs
again." As she tells her painful story, I begin the
cleaning of the erroneous thoughts within me that
have actualized as her problem.
As erroneous thoughts are replaced by loving
thoughts in the therapist and in his family,
relatives and ancestors, they are replaced too in
the client and in her family, relatives and
ancestors. The updated Ho'oponopono process allows
the therapist to work directly with the Original
Source who can transmute erroneous thoughts into
LOVE.
Her eyes dry up. The trenches around her mouth
soften. She smiles, relief dawning across her face
"I don't know why but I'm feeling better." I do not
know why too. Really. Life is a mystery except to
LOVE who knows all. I just let it go at that, and
just thank LOVE from whom all blessings flow.
In problem solving using the updated Ho'oponopono
process, the therapist first takes his []-Dentity,
his Mind and connects it up with the Original
Source, what others call LOVE or GOD. With the
connection in place, the therapist then appeals to
LOVE to correct the erroneous thoughts within him
that are actualizing as the problem for himself
first and for the client second. The appeal is a
process of repentance and forgiveness on the part of
the therapist---"I am sorry for the erroneous
thoughts within me that have caused the problem for
me and for the client; please forgive me."
In response to the repentance and forgiveness appeal
of the therapist, LOVE begins the mystical process
of transmuting the erroneous thoughts. In this
spiritual correction process, LOVE first neutralizes
the erroneous emotions that have caused the problem,
be they resentment, fear, anger, blame or confusion.
In the next step, LOVE then releases the neutralized
energies from the thoughts leaving them in a state
of void, of emptiness of true freedom.
With the thoughts empty, free, LOVE then fills them
with Itself. The result? The therapist is renewed,
restored in LOVE. As the therapist is renewed so is
the client and all involved in the problem. Where
there was despair in the client, there is LOVE.
Where there was darkness in her soul, there is now
the healing Light of LOVE.
The Self []- Dentity Through Ho'oponopono training
teaches people who they are and how they can solve
problems moment to moment, and in the process be
renewed and restored in LOVE. The training begins
with a two-hour free lecture. Attendees are given an
overview of how thoughts within them actualize as
spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, relational
and financial problems in their lives and in the
lives of their families, relatives, ancestors,
friends, neighbors and associates. In the weekend
training, students are taught what a problem is,
where the problems are located, how to solve
different kinds of problems using over twenty-five
problem solving processes and how to really take
good care of themselves. The underlying emphasis in
the training is on being 100% responsible for
themselves and for what happens in their lives and
for solving problems effortlessly.
The wonder of the updated Ho'oponopono process is
that you get to meet yourself anew each moment, and
you get to appreciate more and more with each
application of the process the renewing miracle of
LOVE.
I operate my life and
my relationships according to the following
insights:
1. The physical universe is an actualization
of my thoughts.
2. If my thoughts are cancerous, they create
a cancerous physical reality.
3. If my thoughts are perfect, they create a
physical reality brimming with LOVE.
4. I am 100% responsible for creating my
physical universe the way it is.
5. I am 100% responsible for correcting the
cancerous thoughts that create a diseased
reality.
6. There is no such thing as out there.
Everything exists as thoughts in my mind. |
