Journaling about hoponopono/SR

[cacheborn]

After reading Steve's posts and listening to Joe Vitali's lectures I got extremely curious about SR in general and this method in particular. So I decided to try it out. Also thought it would be nice to record the experiences. Instead of recording day-by-day I will do updates, as experiences may not come along regularly.

Update1 :
When I first heard about the method of saying "I am sorry, I love you" I was curious and unbelieving at the same time. The fact that people like my whining sister is my responsibility took some time to sink in. Still I decided to give it a try. The first thing I did before going to bed that night was make a mental list of people who have wronged me in the past and say "I am sorry, I love you." For some people it was very easy but or some especially from my childhood it was very difficult. Still I managed it. After completing the task I felt peaceful as I have never felt before. I was still not sleepy so I listened to some music and even the music felt as though I was listening to it for the first time. Then I slept very well.

Update two.

My left brain cannot really grasp SR so I have decided to leave it as it is. I have also learnt that I can say "I am sorry, I love you" to anything and everything, even to inanimate objects. As I keep doing it, I feel something changing inside me. Normally I do not cry very easily but sometimes I feel like crying. I also feel that the way I relate to people is changing. What exactly is the nature of this change I am not sure but I have become more loving towards everyone. (Here my left brain says that my wiring is having an overload of positive emotions like love. Maybe it's true. I don't know.)

I had a dream today, where I dreamed about my deceased friend for the first time(its been more than two weeks since his death). He was in my room looking for some kinda green pants but he heads to door to look some place else because he couldn't find it here. I was aware than he was dead, in my dream, so I grabbed him because I wanted to talk to him. I wanted to ask SO many things, like how he felt when he was dying, about the after life, how he is feeling now, is he gonna visit me again and so on. But when I held his hand I looked down and said "Dude you know that I am really really really sorry for everything and that I will ALWAYS love you right?". I could feel his nails dig into my hands and it was painful, when I looked up he looked like he couldn't control his tears and he was smiling lovingly

Anyway, my point is, when I woke up today I felt so good, I felt so HEALED. All the pain I had regarding him had just gone away and I was only grateful to have known him. And I was wondering why I only told him that I was sorry and that I love him when I could have had a much longer conversation about so many things. And then I stumbled into your post
And not before I saw hoponopono/SR mentioned twice in other places. I remember cause it has an unusual sound to it. I'm gonna buy the book, thanks for writing about it

[AlmostGodess]

I started doing this too. The first thing that happened was my mother calling and crying and apologizing for not being the perfect mother. I feel so much at peace with her now.

I see again the usefulness of journaling about what we do. If you had not mentioned this, I wouldn't have thought about this.

Thanks!

I like this story a lot!


And interesting cacheborn, I tend to talk to inanimate objects as well, I don't want to hurt their feelings.

[cacheborn]

@lookcloser : That's an amazing story. I am glad you found a way of healing. At the moment I have no clue as to what is going on but I am curious about it. Thanks for sharing your experience.


@AG : That's great. I am happy that things are well not between you and your mother. I am wishing you the best in your pursuit.

@Jon : I am not in the habit of talking to inanimate objects. This is the first time I still find it strange.

Thank you!

[Greek Dog]

Why did I open this thread?
Hmm - your work is calling to me.

I recognize the need to accept responsibility and the call to be free.
Thank you for speaking to my heart and holding the mirror up for me to look into.

[Angela]

Ditto Greek Dog.

[roxyruby]

Cacheborn I have a lump (a fibroadenoma) in one of my breasts just above my heart, and also some holes in my teeth.

Could you try your healing powers on me? ^ ^

also, I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you. ^ ^

[cacheborn]

@AG : My pleasure

@Greek Dog, @Angela : It's amazing that it called to you. I never expected this response. Maybe it's because you are part of me?

@Roxyruby : I am sorry to have caused this problem in you. I do not know how I caused it.
I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.

I am seeing this phrase more and more around here. Is this a part of h'oponome (however the heck you spell it)?

Yes. I got it from one of Joe Vitale's talks. You can say it to anyone and everyone, and also to inanimate objects. According to ancient Hawaiian practice, all problems are caused by errors in thoughts or negative emotions. And to correct it you say, "I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you."

More on Ho'oponopono. I realized that I spelt it wrong in the title of the thread.

Ho'oponopono - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[rei]

Great thread, cacheborn.

Actually, this thread and the recent talk of SR inspired me to revisit ho'oponopono. Interesting thing happened, today I got a call from the "Victims Hotline" with a recording to let me know someone was approaching release from prison. I didn't sign up for this service intentionally but the state provided it.

I used this notification as an opportunity to do ho'oponopono on that person. Felt really good I feel a bit like my reality dream set this up for me on purpose.

You knew about it before? That cool Rei.
I came to know about just a week or back so. I am still in the beginning stages of practice. It's interesting because as you know, Dr. Hew Len used it to cure a full hospital of mental patients. It's also the psychological aspect of it that I found interesting.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Oh, I didn't know about Dr. Hew Len's application of this method - that's amazing! I will look into that some more I have previously not stuck with it for very long but since so many people are talking about it now I think that will motivate me to see it through to lovely consequences. In fact, I feel a bit like my reality is using this latest interest as an opportunity to say, hello, remember this? I hope your experiments with this will flow well for you!

[ssandra]

Just ordered the book Zero Limits online

I'll open a thread about it as soon as I have it and have read it

Rei; this might be an interesting read for you 100% Responsibility and the Promise of a Hot Fudge Sundae: An Interview with Ihaleakala Hew Len


(got it from someone else here on the forum, would give credit if I could remember from who... )

Please have a look at the link Sandra has given.
I find it very interesting for my SR view of reality that so many people are resonating with this. If you all are part of me, no wonder you are resonating with it. That's very preliminary at this stage but I find it interesting enough to go on.

Here is the story from Joe Vitale.
H'oponopono

[rei]

Thanks for that, Sandra. I do have a vague memory of hearing about the inmates, perhaps in a Gregg Braden book. Very uplifting article.

[rei]

By the way I totally vibe with what he said about people coming for healing. It has seemed all the clients I have had were really showing me something I had going on. In the culture it doesn't always make sense to discuss it quite that way but there were matching things in every case, and I did take notice of that.

I suppose now it's time to do some ho'oponopono on myself for how much action I take/don't take.

About to check out the Vitale link...

[AlmostGodess]

Cacheborn, please read LTL's latest post in the thread "I just wanted to..."

Must be caused by you

Did you read the book Zero Limits?

I'll read the article later, off to the movies to finally see "El Origen" or Inception as normal people call it

I think you will probably love it! Have fun

cacheborn, that was a really interesting article. How the mind sometimes likes to think things must be more complicated than that... Actually, I dig easy peasy.

Cool stuff!

No I have not read it. I could not get it in the local bookshops here.
That's why I said I am curious about it.

There was one line in other article that completely blew my mind. "All therapy is a form of manipulation." God, that is so deep and profound I just sat there, looking at it, dumbfounded.

I love it when that happens! It is certainly a profound statement, as it's all about moving the energy around in some way. I loved reading him talk about speaking with the chair and tables. That was neat.

One thing, for the last few 'days' I've been using the "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you." version of ho'oponopono. After reading these links I saw that it's also possible to use "I'm sorry. I love you." So I've been trying it out.

For some reason "I'm sorry, I love you" FEELS more... something... powerful or high-vibrating or, something like that. Which was unexpected, but since you're exploring this I wanted to share that here
