My Fleep:
New Age
New Age
Who Are You After You Drop Your Story?
I am sitting with my deep blue Irises on this perfect
spring morning and I inwardly chant: Thank you, I love you
dear Irises for showing me the meaning of beauty and
transcendence here on planet Earth.
Human concerns and problems are nonexistent as I continue
my Ho'oponopono chant.
If an issue suddenly surfaces in the form of a memory or an
actual seemingly troubling event, I continue the chant,
adding: I am sorry, Please forgive me for the part I played
or play in bringing this story about.
Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing art that
teaches that by inwardly saying the phrases, I love you,
Thank you, I am sorry, Please forgive me, that shared
memories and mental repetitive tapes are erased.
These chants are ceaselessly repeated even in calm and
peaceful times, as I sit with my Irises and love them.
The phrases are a direct method of Letting Go/Letting God.
Ho'oponopono teaches that everything we see is a projection
of our emotional baggage and programs or of our love and
harmony.
The choice is ours: to let go, to embrace, or react and get
lost in the confusion.
The challenge is: that everyone loves a story. Our earliest
programming for most of us is the bedtime story. Children
love these and we love to read them and tell them.
In my own life, the stories that seemingly happen such as:
The doctor was mean to me; The patient is homeless; my love
affair is over; she doesn't love me anymore; he loves her
more than he loves me; are the same stories that happen to
everyone.
New stories don't exist. They've been rehashed for hundreds
and hundreds of years!
Ho'oponopono is a beautiful tool. As I inwardly chant my
phrases (I love you, Thank you, Please forgive me and I am
sorry) I also use Byron Katie's "The Work" to dissect my
stories and grant them the freedom to be--or not to be.
I will use as an example a volatile situation that occured
in the workplace:
A provider does not respond to a call of an imminent
delivery. The nurses deliver the baby and when the provider
arrives, she screams at the nurses in front of the patient.
The delivery was smooth, baby was healthy, and mom was
very happy, indeed.
I will use the Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet to do "the
work" for this particular story:
Inquiry: The Four Questions and Turnaround
1) Is it true?
2) Can you absolutely know that it's true?
3) How do you react when you believe that thought?
4) Who would you be without that thought?
and--
Turn it around.
I. I am angry and frustrated with said provider because she
screamed at me in front of the patient. She has done this
on numerous occasions and we are all sick of it.
Is this true?
Yes.
Can you absolutely know that it's true?
Yes. (Well, she really doesn't do it all the time....)
How do you react when you believe that thought?
Judgmental and restricted.
Who would you be without that thought?
I'd be more relaxed and allow others the freedom to be
themselves without me having to be freaked out and offended.
(Here I can see that my thoughts and beliefs are what are
bringing me pain--not what anyone else does or doesn't do!!)
Turn it around: I am not angry and frustrated with this
person.
I am angry and frustrated at myself because I allowed
someone else's behavior ruin my day.
I may not always be totally centered and caring for my
patients--How can I improve that?
II. I want (said provider) to take a communications class
and get her act together.
Is this true?
Well, not necessarily true.
Who would you be without this thought?
I'd think it was funnier and could laugh at it and move on.
Turn it around.
I don't want her to take a communications class. What she
does or doesn't do is her own business.
I need to take a communications class.
In fact, I want to take a communications class!
III. Said provider should get her medicines re-evaluated.
Is This true?
No, because I don't even know if she is taking any
medicines.
Who would you be without this thought?
More clear, more forgiving.
Turn it around.
Said provider should not get her medicines re-evaluated.
I need to get MY medicines re-evaluated!!! (Just kidding--I
don't take any medicines but if I keep going insane with
these judgments, I may have to see a Doctor!!!)
IV. What do they need to do for me to be happy?
Stop screaming at nurses in front of patients.
Is this true?
No, because if this is what I base my happiness on, I will
never be happy.
Why?
Because people will always be screaming at nurses in front
of patients, will continue to do so, and this is the way of
it.
How do I know this? Because it continues to happen. Could
even happen today.
Turn it around.
She doesn't need to stop screaming at patients for me to
happy.
I need to stop screaming at my self and stop thinking the
world needs to change for me to be happy.
V. What do you think of said provider?
1) Not fun to be around
2) Psychologically impaired.
3) She is mean-spirited.
Is this true?
No, she's may be having a bad day.
Turn it around--
I'M not fun to be around when I judge other people.
I'm fun to be around when I don't judge other people.
I'm psychologically impaired when I judge other people.
I'm psychologically sane when I don't judge other people.
I am mean spirited when I judge other people.
I am kind when I don't judge other people.
VI. What is it I don't want to experience with this person
again?
I don't ever want to be in a situation where I am screamed
at in front of a patient, or screamed at ever again, under
any circumstance.
Is this true?
No, I see the absurdity of this, now.
Turn it around?
I do want to be screamed at--Why? Because the reality is,
people scream at each other. (And when other people scream
at me, I am given the opportunity to up my Ho'oponopono
practice!!)
I look forward to other people screaming at me, because I
can clean, clean and erase with the tools of Ho'oponopono.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Ho'oponopono and The Work are examples of taking 100%
responsibility.
Issues in the form of memory of shared human anguish arise
and we clear, erase and do the the work of Inquiry.
What would you be without your story?
I know I'd be closer to spirit, closer to the infinite, and
I'd be a happy person.
