Those of you who have been taught to think positive thoughts can try to avoid feeling bad about anything. The Sedona Method and Ho’oponopono are more neutral and allow you to let go of anything that makes you feel stressed or afraid. Other methods encourage you to dive into your bad feelings, inflate them, and then let them go. But today, we will focus on Ho’oponopono.
How does this work?
Let’s say you’re late for work. You are still on probation and cannot afford any problems with your boss or manager, who you know is very strict about starting on time. This is going to cause stress on many levels. Your mind might think, “I can’t afford to lose this job!” You know this thought, and the fear it generates is a mistake, but it keeps coming back.
With Ho’oponopono, you say the prayer: “Divinity, I love you; I’m sorry and please forgive me. Whatever the program in me, in my relatives or in my ancestors since the beginning of time, is causing this delay, for Please take that program and burn it in the light. Thank you. It’s done.”
Most of the time, after saying the prayer and delivering it to Divinity, I am not late. But there are other layers. You may want to do it as well for any program you made that put your new job at risk, and you may do it again for having chosen such a picky boss.
Hey, I didn’t pick the boss!
The underlying strength of Ho’oponopono or Sedona Method is that you take 100% responsibility. When I started doing Ho’oponopono, I didn’t really understand what it meant. It is an affirmation of subjective reality. It is a statement that says that you are the creator of your Universe, good and bad. it’s all you
Therefore, if something bad is happening, it is your will or your creation. Ho’oponopono explains that our subconscious mind is millions of times more powerful than our conscious mind, and that our subconscious is in part a perfect recorder. It has recorded our life and also has memories of our ancestors. Dr. Hew Len explains that these memories are turned into programs, like computer software, to remind themselves. That’s why the same issues (money, relationships, etc.) keep coming back and coming back even when we think we’ve done enough work/healing/therapy to kick them out of our lives for good.
So first accept that It is not the traffic or the subway or the traffic lights that make you arrive late. You have arrived late, perhaps creating the traffic problem. It was all your doing. And that’s why Sedona (Can I let it go?) and Ho’oponopono work.
