Ho’oponopono: A Personal Message Of Healing Beyond The Mantra

There’s a whisper in the spiritual corridors, a mantra: “I’m sorry, thank you, please forgive me, I love you.” Those who have heard it recognize it as ho’oponopono, but many are yet to fathom its depth beyond this phrase. This Hawaiian art is no fleeting trend; it’s a profound spiritual journey, beckoning those ready to dive deep.

Misunderstanding the Mantra

The allure of ho’oponopono might seem rooted in its simple mantra. But hoist your sails, for there’s more to this sea. While the mantra is the song of the practice, the tools and methods are its dance. Let’s not just hum along; let’s learn the steps.

“Begin with a story, one that I hold dear. About six weeks ago, I woke up to a world distorted in my right eye, reminiscent of a Tolkien-esque landscape, curves where lines should be. Grateful for clarity in my left eye, I ventured to find answers. As treatments began, some questioned why I didn’t simply use ho’oponopono for a cure. But in truth, the path I tread, complete with mental dew drops for my eye, felt harmonious with Divinity’s design.”

Sights and Insights

In Hindu traditions, blindness stirs talk of deep-rooted karma. It’s believed that no guru should intervene, yet they radiate kindness. Pioneers like Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, both associated with ho’oponopono, donned eyeglasses. A subtle message? Perhaps that ho’oponopono can harmoniously coexist with Western remedies.

Others, like Dr. Joe Dispenza, forwent medical routes, leading to personal and professional transformation. But here lies the lesson: each journey is unique. We must stride with balance, embracing treatments while heeding our intuition’s call.

The Challenge of Communication

One might say, “I’ve practiced ho’oponopono, but where are the results?” Patience, dear reader. The ancient ho’oponopono had Kahunas or wise elders working up to 18 months to mend community rifts. Today, our instant-gratification mindset poses challenges. While ho’oponopono has its pace, it also requires our trust.

In the West, we lean on a scientific paradigm. We’re trained to link specific conditions to specific remedies. However, in spiritual landscapes, such mapping might not hold. We’re a tapestry of backgrounds and karmas, demanding personalized navigation. Hence, it’s imperative we embrace treatments and recognize any inherent limitations, cleaning not just conditions but also the barriers within.

A Closing Thought

My dance with Age-Related Wet Macular Degeneration (AMD) continues, and the ho’oponopono rhythm accompanies me. The future holds its secrets, but till then, let’s keep cleaning, discovering, and embracing the music and movements of ho’oponopono.

To the uninitiated, may this serve as a compass, and to seasoned practitioners, may it resonate as a familiar tune. Dive into this sea, not just with the mantra as your chant but with understanding as your anchor.
