08/04/20 ANOTHER WAY TO HEAL YOURSELF WITH FORGIVENESS: HO’OPONOPONO. My friends, I'm enjoying hearing from so many of you who are cutting cords, and healing yourself by forgiving others in your past. Today I want to talk about another way to heal yourself.

A few days ago, I stumbled onto a method of healing oneself and one's relationships called Ho’Oponopono. It very neatly combines some of the concepts Jesus sets forth in his Christ Letters with the principles of the Law of One.

I paid $78 for hours of classes on the very simple methodology, before I discovered a book that can read in an hour that sums it all up very quickly. And I will sum it up even more quickly for you, right here, right now.

We know from the Law of One that we are asked to give unconditional love, forgiveness, and non-judgment to ourselves and all others. The reason we are asked to extend these gifts unconditionally is because here in Third Density, we have no idea why people act the way they do.

That neighbor who constantly offends you, or the ex-spouse you cannot stand to look at, may be your very best soulmate from another incarnation. Since we need to learn important lessons to gain Higher Consciousness as a soul, we contract with our most beloved friends to teach us.

A soul we love the most may be the person who irritates us the worst in this lifetime. They may have contractually agreed with us to help us learn true forgiveness and unconditional love, or patience. Even our pets contract to teach us to love and care and be patient.

Think about your life over the past week or so. You might remember experiences with a driver who cut you off in traffic, or someone whose dog left a mess on your grass, or a rude person at the store who argued about whether they should have to wear a mask or not.

How do you normally react to an unpleasant, spur-of-the-moment challenge you weren't expecting? Or, for example, how do you react when your ex calls you up and makes demands or criticizes your parenting skills? All of us have situations that are unpleasant, that try our patience.

It seems almost expected that a close call in traffic will result in at least one party flipping the other off, and a lot of “eff" words being hurled around. It seems like any mundane civil conflict can result in people yelling obscenities at each other.

Remember that every thought, and every action we take, even in response to the action of another, creates a reality for ourselves. So in those trying moments where “eff" words come to mind, our task is to reframe the energy to create a better reality for ourselves and others.

The Hawaiian Ho’Oponopono method is very simple, and works to eliminate karma before it starts, or after it is already there. The methodology is very simple, and yet profound.

Picture a situation that tries you to the max, and instead of saying the negative things you might say out of habit, say this instead:

“I forgive you. I love you. Please forgive me.”

“Whaaaat?” I hear some of you asking. “Have you lost your mind, AAM?” I understand it seems counterintuitive to tell someone who has wronged you in some way that you love them. It seems really wrong to ask them to forgive you. So why do it?

Remember again that the person who wronged you is someone you love and contracted with in your Life Agreement to help you learn a particular lesson. So, this method directs you to let them know you love them, even though they are teaching you a tough lesson.

You forgive them, because that is what shows you've learned the lesson. Remember that karma is not about punishment, but it is the Law of Unlearned Lessons. Forgiving the one who wronged you shows you have learned the lesson, and no karma attaches for the incident.

But why apologize to the person who wronged you? I know that is hard to handle, especially in relationships where the same thing happens frequently. Asking for forgiveness absolves you of judgment, which violates the Law of One, and shows again, you love the other party.

We discussed yesterday the idea that we should leave intimate, or any other kind of relationship, in peace, without the need to destroy the other. Using this method while divorcing or parting ways will help make the transition smoother and less destructive.

Since I read about this method, I've been walking around using it whenever a thought about something I regret about my past comes to mind. I can readily say that it has brought me so much happiness. It seems so incredibly simple--but it truly works to eliminate negative thinking.

Over the course of my lifetime, I have done and said so many things I regret, driven mostly by misunderstanding and biases that came from my upbringing. This method is helping me clear all of those thoughts and thought patterns out of my brain and heal from my past.

The author of the book that I read on the methodology describes how he and his ex-wife used the method to maintain peace between them and develop a friendship post-marriage that continues through till today.

Remember that in order to be an effective lightworker, and a healer of others, we must heal ourselves first. The Christ Letters are the most effective step-by-step guide to healing the traumas and events of the past, and clearing the negative energetic residue from our bodies.

This method of getting “pono" with a past conflict or challenge is a perfect compliment to the work Jesus describes in his book. And, again, it is SO EASY.

I hope you will each just give this a try, next time you are challenged by something in your life. Instead of cussing, just say “I love you. I forgive you. Please forgive me.” If you do, you will be amazed how your body does not release the stress hormones…

…that are so hard on your health. Instead, you will experience calm. And best yet, no karma will attach, no future lesson will need to be learned as a result of the incident at hand.

The more we heal ourselves, the more we live in the light of love, forgiveness, and non-judgment, the better we can serve humanity. It is great to see so many of you making such big changes in your lives, so you can feel better, and serve better.

Much love to all of you, my dear friends. I treasure getting to know each of you, and seeing the beautiful gifts you brought to this planet in service to humanity.

This is the book I read. There are many great books available. This is free to read if you have Kindle Unlimited on Amazon.
