What would become of my life? Who was I?
At 24, having just graduated from junior college and moved to Pennsylvania, I was always carrying that vague anxiety with me.
Around the time Morrnah, the founder of Self I-Dentity through Ho’oponopono®, had just begun expanding her work from Hawaii across the United States, I found myself drawn to attend the very first class held in Pennsylvania.
For me—having graduated from junior college and found a job, yet spending my days feeling as though my life had come to a standstill—that class was a new experience. It was not about doubting or trying to understand; it was a continuous flow of discovering and receiving.
At one of my later classes, I asked Morrnah,
“I’m cleaning, but nothing is changing. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.”
And Morrnah answered,
“Unihipili loves you with all its heart.”
Though it was not really an answer to my question, it seemed to make my heart tremble.
To set things in motion and restore the flow—this is the purpose of Ho’oponopono. It is the regeneration of life. When Uhane—the conscious mind—takes the lead, emotions and opinions pour out like a flood that will not stop. At such times, things lose their living movement and come to a halt. In the midst of this, Unihipili—the subconscious, your Inner Child—tries again and again to make us aware through our problems. It does this so that I can remember my true worth, the gifts I was born with, and my light.
Even with problems, I can love myself. Ho’oponopono is a process in which, through this continuous series of realizations, we can reclaim our true selves and let them be reflected in our lives. Only then are we able to solve our problems.
Morrnah once said,
“The Basic 1 Class is a tool for living. You need nothing else. By learning the Basic 1 Class, you can become your own guru in life. Because when I clean, I am working only with what lies between Divinity and myself. Once the light is restored, anyone can find the lighthouse.”
Even with problems, I can love myself, find the lighthouse, and move forward.
Ho’oponopono is a practical way of solving problems.
