The following is a guided imagery, first developed by Dr. Carol Woman and then adapted by John Babbs, author of The Divine Hotline. I first learned about it in the wonderful book : The I Of The Storm.

Imagine for a moment the time before your birth when you were wandering the heavens as a disincarnate soul. You were immersed in the beauty and peaceful harmony of paradise when the call went out for volunteers to  incarnate in bodily, human form. A small blue planet in the far reaches of the Milky Way galaxy was experiencing a crisis and was in need of souls who were willing to incarnate in a human body to help out in Earth’s time of need.

You made the decision to volunteer. You next to met with the Incarnation Committee to discuss with its members the part you wanted to play and the work you wanted to do. You made a covenant at that time to do the work you agreed to do. But there was a catch: Not only were you to serve, you were also required to grow. It was your job to increase the intensity of your light and to grow in wisdom and in stature as well as to serve. You next had to make a series of decisions that would perfectly situate you to be of a maximum service and to develop a custom- designed learning curriculum for your soul to assure its maximum learning potential.

You had to decide what particular set of gifts, talents, and abilities you wished to bring with you to contribute to life on Earth and to the human family; the dreams and aspirations that would lead you to your destiny
to fulfill your earthly covenant; a date of birth determining an astrological configuration that would give you clues to your soul’s earthly purpose and destiny; a place on Earth, a climatic zone, a region in which to reside; a racial and ethnic form that would enable you to best express yourself; a socioeconomic class that would provide you with the challenges and benefits you need in order to learn and serve; a spiritual tradition with its particular set of rituals and practices that would support you; a gender with it its attendant opportunities and challenges; parents that would provide you with your particular strengths, with qualities that you could draw upon and with a designated set of difficulties that you would experience with them in order to learn, grow, and to prepare you for the service that you are to perform; your siblings and your relationship to them in age, plus the companionship in the conflicts with them that would provide you with important lessons and resources; and, finally, a name for yourself.

Once these decisions were made, you were free to incarnate and begin your earthly mission, forgetting all that went on before, but with time, you would slowly but surely begin to rediscover why you are here and how wisely you chose because every factor in your life has perfectly positioned you for the service you are to perform and has maximized your potential for learning and growing.

Hope you enjoyed the imagery.

Keep manifesting only good things 🙂

Hoʻoponopono
Maybe you’ve heard about it, or a version of the story about it?
If not, keep reading. If you have, maybe you could use a refresher.
Anyway, here’s the legendary story that I was told a number of years ago about this Hoʻoponopono.

It’s about a psychotherapist in Hawaii who was hired to help at the Hawaiian State Hospital for the insane. It seems that the patients in a certain section of the hospital were totally out of control.

You see, the ward where they kept the criminally insane patients was a very dangerous place. Psychologists and psychiatrists would quit on a regular basis and the other staff would frequently and consistently call in sick or simply resign. Visitors and employees would walk through the ward with their backs against the wall because they were afraid of being attacked by the patients.
It was not a safe place to either work, or live.

A few months after the new psychotherapist came to the ward, patients who had previously been restrained started being allowed to walk about freely. Others, who had been heavily medicated, had their medications reduced since they no longer needed them. 
Disgruntled staff began to enjoy coming to work. Absenteeism rates plummeted and employee turnover all but disappeared.

The new psychotherapist worked in that ward for some three years and by the end of his term the ward for the criminally insane was closed down because almost all of the patients had healed. Hopeless cases were eventually released back into society or transferred to less secure accommodations.

So, what happened to change things so dramatically?
Well, the strange thing is that this psychotherapist never saw any of the patients professionally, nor did he counsel them at all. He merely review their files.
And as he regularly studied each individual patient file, he would repeat a mantra over and over: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

The psychotherapist’s name was Dr Ihaleakala Hew Len. He was an expert in the spiritual practice called Ho’oponopono.
Hoʻoponopono is a Hawaiian ritual of reconciliation and forgiveness. The Hawaiian word translates into English simply as “correction”. Correction of self.

Dr Hew Len said this about what he did: “I was simply cleaning the part of me that I shared with them.” He further explained that, “…total responsibility for your life, means that everything in your life, simply because it is in your life, is your responsibility. In a literal sense, the entire world is your creation.”

So, it would seem that we are all part of one consciousness, and therefore everything that is in our experience is affected by our actions. By everything we think, say and do. We are all responsible for everything that we experience! It’s a shared consciousness where as one person’s consciousness changes, it affects the whole.

Now you have likely heard the following quote attributed to Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Actually, what he really said was this:
“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”

Very similar to Ho’oponopono – no?
Quite interesting isn’t it?
Do you believe it?
Or do you find it pretty hard to swallow?
Let’s see –maybe there really is something to it? 
Instead of blaming a god, devil, circumstances, or other people for what happens in your life– perhaps you just need to accept responsibility for all of it?
Wow! That’s certainly way beyond anything I have been taught or that the “world accepts as true”.
So, it’s gotta be pure bullpoop right?
Or is it?
I’ll leave it for you to decide.

Repentance – I’M SORRY.
Forgiveness – PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
Gratitude – THANK YOU.
Love – I LOVE YOU.

Keep manifesting only good things :)
