Topic: Ho'oponopono
Peace to all who represent motherhood in any form! Lets celebrate together and feel good about this important role we serve. How blessed we are to have such wise teachers (our children) to guide us on our journey through parenthood. To the right is a photo of my belly at the end of Kenny's pregnancy, with Henna art done by my dear friend Amanda. It came out beautiful!
I began my day with, "Thank you! For...whatever. Everything!" Another day to love. Ho'oponopono is still working. Constantly saying "I love you", "I'm sorry", "Please forgive me", and "Thank you" WORKS. My days are now filled with more fun and laughter, and less seriousness and planning. I feel kind of silly sometimes, if not just plain crazy, lol! Problems still arise, though I am now beginning to really see how all these things that I'd been perceiving to be "problems" are really opportunities. Opportunities to be free and clear of old memories that we hang on to. Before, these memories and emotions would come up and I'd feel crappy about them, like "WHY am I thinking this stuff??" "WHY do I feel this way??" I'd try to rationalize them and then push them aside, trying to ignore or forget about it. The grudge would still stick to me though. How wonderful to finally know how to set myself and others free of this ICK! To realize that I can ERASE these things! The more I can admit that I am NOT in control, and stop trying to be, the EASIER life feels. My emotions and circumstances that were troubling me have been overridden by love, peace, and joy. It is such a relief! Do any of us realize how much ICK is stuck to us? It dates back through relatives, ancestors, all the way to when we started as just bacteria. Memories... I am totally experiencing what I would describe as a cleanse. When we are stuck, we are just stuck. But we can set ourselves free.
I made amends with a dear friend this morning and man does it feel good. And this is how I did it. At first I was afraid of calling. I was hoping the universe would heal the tension in a way that didn't involve me actually having to face her. Which doesn't make any sense to me now. But as I repeated the phrases "I love you" "thank you" "I'm sorry" and "Please forgive me" I began to actually feel these things. And suddenly I wanted to call her. So I acted on it. I picked up the phone, apologized from the bottom of my heart and asked for her forgiveness for whatever hurt I may have caused her or anyone else. There were tears and of course, she accepted my apology and also expressed gratitude. It felt wonderful. I did not care about being right or wrong anymore, I just wanted peace. I really felt the power of love in friendship. When I let go of my pride and ego, I I was able to take responsibility for having participated in the "problem" and then all the negative energies were released. We were laughing and wishing we were face to face so we could be hugging. And it is true. Only, and ONLY LOVE can release these energies and replace them with inspiration. What a beautiful gift. Thank you to all those in my life who help me to learn about forgiveness.
