Ho’oponopono and Health: A Balanced Approach to Spiritual Tools
Imagine diving into the vast, mystical world of ho’oponopono, a realm filled with intriguing tools for healing and transformation. Just like any journey, there’s always a few questions that pop up, and today, we’re going to uncover the answers to a rather puzzling one: Can any of these ho’oponopono tools be bad for your health?
Picture a wise, accomplished kahuna lapaʻau, Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, a recognized National Treasure of Hawaii. Her knowledge was vast, covering herbs, plants, and interestingly, everyday products incorporated into the practice of ho’oponopono. One of her favorite suggestions involved a pair of fizzy tablets and a swimming pool. Intrigued? Let’s dive in.
She advised visualizing dropping these fizzy tablets into a pool before taking a dip. But wait, no real tablets were involved, so what’s happening here? The key lies in the realm of the mind. Just like the invisible ripples caused by those imaginary tablets, the power of this exercise was entirely mental, working on our spiritual plane.
This reminds me of a curious anecdote about an Indian spiritual master. He once had a doctor take his pulse. Why would a man revered as a living god need a doctor, you ask? Well, the master explained that the doctor was for his physical health, while his work was focused on people’s spiritual growth. And that’s the crux of our story today.
In the world of ho’oponopono, we come across various tools, including those introduced by Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len like chocolates and other edible goodies. The fascinating part? Dr. Hew Len believed it wasn’t the food that could harm you, but your attitude towards it.
Here’s a breakdown of the main takeaways:
Spiritual Tools vs. Physical Effects: In ho’oponopono, tools like visualizing fizzy tablets or eating certain foods work primarily on a spiritual plane. They’re not tied to the physical world and its time constraints, which means their impact is on our spiritual health rather than physical.
The Power of Attitude: According to Dr. Hew Len, it’s not the food that harms, but our attitude towards it. But, what if someone unknowingly consumes something harmful? The ho’oponopono perspective suggests constant cleaning and the right attitude can prevent such occurrences.
Use Tools with Care: Ho’oponopono tools, whether they’re mental visualizations or edible items, should be considered as spiritual aids. They’re like props on a stage, triggering mental responses and spiritual benefits without causing physical harm.
Cleaning Concerns: Any worries about these practices can be addressed through ho’oponopono’s cleaning process, using the word ‘Love‘ or the four sacred phrases.
Does this mean you can munch on all the chocolate you want without any repercussions? Well, not quite. While ho’oponopono emphasizes the power of mental and spiritual healing, it’s crucial to maintain a balanced approach, taking care of both your spiritual and physical well-being.
At the end of the day, remember that ho’oponopono tools are meant to guide us on our spiritual journey, helping us foster a positive attitude and facilitating inner healing. As we continue exploring the labyrinth of ho’oponopono, let’s remember to strike a balance, using these tools wisely for our spiritual growth, while also taking care of our physical health.
Onwards, fellow explorers! May your journey be filled with wisdom, healing, and endless discoveries.
