Inner Tranquility is Achieved with Ho'oponopono
In order to cope with modern society's a high stress, high energy lifestyle, inner tranquility is achieved with ho'oponopono practice to provide balance, health and well being.
Many people strive for external validation and intellectual success, whereas incorporating the Hawaiian practice of ho'oponopono grounds and centres us naturally.
The practice lets us rediscover our inner world, reminding us that peace and wisdom truly come from within.
Ho'oponopono at its Core
Ho'oponopono is not really a complicated practice confined to but a few esoteric practitioners, but is conversely a simple technique that is available for use by almost anyone with an interest in it.
The universe that provides our existence is in fact a reflection of true spirituality, obscured by our imperfect and often psychologically damaged memories. Through the practice we are able to clean our subconscious of its negative emotions and guilt, freeing us from the obscurity clouding our true essence.
As Dr. Hew Len reminds us at a point in his extensive writings, you must "focus on yourself, not others."
In that short message lies a timeless wisdom indicating that true knowledge and peace are to be found internally.
Transformation
What follows are three tales of transformation that most ought to be able to relate to in some way.
-
A scholar who, replete with knowledge, is blinded by his own pride and arrogance. When confronted by a Zen Master, his reaction is to assert his intellectual dominance.
The Master deftly counters with profound simplicity, emphasising the notion that a full cup requires emptying if it is to hold anything further. Turning arrogance into humility requires the evacuation of preconceived opinions, reflecting upon how the practice of ho'oponopono embodies the first steps in the journey to enlightenment. - An exhausted businesswoman embraced ho'oponopono for relief and discovered consolation and unexpected success. She learned that external acquisitions do not bring happiness, it comes from within as does self-improvement and true bliss.
- A young man broken by the weight of past injustices is guided by a caring kahuna in the technique of ho'oponopono. He learned how breathing through "the Ha." cleansed his inner guilt like standing by a tranquil pond where redemption and forgiveness are received through of self-reflection and completely letting go.
Transcend the Physical World
Ho'oponopono reveals our physical universe as a mere reflection of our mental state.
Current scientific theories may hold true in the moment, but the practitioner of ho'oponopono realises that current truth can change at any time. Instead of allowing ourselves to be trapped by limited physical hypotheses, we may be gently guided in cleaning our mental shortcomings resulting in harmony with spiritual perfection.
Misunderstandings
It is well understood that misunderstandings are commonplace when learning something new.
Ho'oponopono can be perceived as a type of intellectual quest or a means of impressing others. However, instead of seeking external validation, it is in reality a means of turning the focus inward to direct our attention on our own growth.
It's all about the discovery of inner wisdom, peace and knowledge without fruitlessly searching for enlightenment in in the agenda-centred external world.
Summary
In an uncertain and confusing world, practising ho'oponopono and its traditional Hawaiian prayer meditation technique highlights the simplicity and wisdom of seeking our answers within.
We can cleanse our minds of karmic clutter while aligning ourselves with our spiritual heart in our endeavour to find harmony and wisdom within. Our outer universe is then realised as a reflection of our own conscious output and that calm, inward reflection and clear thought is the path to positive transformation.
Embrace the practice of ho'oponopono. Clean, cleanse and revitalise your mind. Remember that true wisdom lies within and you will discover the inner peace and tranquility that you seek.
