Ho’oponopono: Beyond the Mantra and Into the Essence of Karmic Cleaning

Picture this: a Hawaiian practice that transcends simple chants and dives deep into the spiritual essence of human consciousness, rooted in the belief that our reality is a mere projection of Divinity, often clouded by our own karmic data. This is ho’oponopono, and if you’ve been drawn to it by merely uttering the words “I’m sorry, thank you, please forgive me, I love you,” you’re on the cusp of uncovering a practice that’s both profound and transformative.

The Essence of Ho’oponopono

The very word ho’oponopono carries weight. While it often translates as ‘to right a wrong’, native Hawaiians comprehend a multitude of layers beneath its surface. Rather than a mere quest for desired outcomes, the practice centers around the pursuit of balance and justice in our spiritual being.

The contrast between ho’oponopono and popular spiritual ideologies like the Law of Attraction is stark. While the latter seeks to attract desires, the former is a deep dive into oneself, seeking to cleanse karmic-data that might obstruct a clear view of our divine projection.

Morrnah’s Legacy and the Mystical Dimension

Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona‘s teachings emphasized the multi-dimensional essence of ho’oponopono. She practiced freeing earthbound souls into a superconscious realm, a practice deeply resonating with many native Hawaiians. One such individual was Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, who sensed more than just the tangible at Hawaii State Hospital’s Ward for the Criminally Insane. To him, the presence of these spirits was tangible, echoing the sentiments of many practitioners.

Unfortunately, the Western iteration of ho’oponopono often overlooks this dimension. The result? An unconscious vulnerability to these earthbound spirits. Recognizing and acknowledging them helps release their spectral grip on our psyche. As Morrnah put it, freeing one spirit can often lead to the release of many others, a cascading effect of spiritual liberation.

The Interconnected Universe of Ho’oponopono

What happens in a remote corner of the globe can ripple into our lives. Dr. Hew Len’s workshop revelation about a participant’s actions influencing a childbirth in Africa underscores this interconnectedness. But delve deeper and you find an unsettling truth: the separation of inner and outer, subject and object, is but a construct of our 3D reality. It’s not the ‘truth’ but a fragmented perception.

Advanced practitioners, the kahunas, grapple with translating their profound understanding into simpler terms for the layperson. Ho’oponopono acts as a bridge, a conduit, offering a model for understanding this intricacy.

Practical Ho’oponopono: The Art of Remote Cleaning

According to Morrnah, perfection in ho’oponopono ensures the externalities become inconsequential. While belief systems might condition our thinking, frequent practice recalibrates the subconscious. The potency of remote cleaning is evident in Dr. Hew Len’s tenure at Hawaii State Hospital. Contractual obligations kept him there, but the transformative work could have been done from afar.

However, Morrnah and Dr. Hew Len often traveled to specific locations for cleansing ceremonies, aligning with the traditional problem-solving approach of ho’oponopono where community members gathered. To avoid confrontations, they would use personal details of attendees, similar to how Dr. Hew Len worked with patients’ notes. This encapsulates the profound adaptability and versatility of the practice.

Embracing the Depth of Ho’oponopono

In a world where quantum physics presents complex theories of existence, ho’oponopono offers an intriguingly simple perspective: our experiences are but reflections of our inner states. Cleaning our karmic data might be the key to a clearer, truer perception of our divine projection. So, as you embark on this journey, remember that it’s not just about a mantra, but about diving deep, cleansing, and evolving.
