He was undeniably a person of “action speaks louder than words.” He practiced cleaning through living. Ihaleakala had the talent to explain what Ho’oponopono was in a simple and humorous way. He was a delightful and caring individual in his personal life as well.
Among the phrases that Ihaleakala often said, there was one that I particularly liked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Clean erase erase and find your own Shangri-La. Where? Within yourself.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I still believe that this is the fundamental essence of everything. When we first met, the tools we used in our classes were simply four PowerPoint slides and videos. We didn’t have the impressive technical support that we have now. We had only chalk, blackboards, and erasers. Even in such a setting, Ihaleakala’s brilliance was established from the very first class he conducted as a speaker. I was moved when he used the blackboard to illustrate and diagram what Morrnah had been teaching until then.<\/p>\n\n\n My husband and I were fortunate to have the opportunity to welcome Morrnah and Ihaleakala into our home whenever they visited for classes. When Ihaleakala visited, we set up a foldable bed in my humble study, where there was only a small desk and a computer. Once, when he was packing his belongings into a very small, old-fashioned suitcase, he happened to find an eraser in my study and said to me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “If you don’t mind, could you let me take this with me? It helps me remember to erase (memories).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n He seemed to have carried it during his journeys from city to city, but when the tour was over and it was time to depart, he carefully placed it back on top of a drawer in the room. I understand why he did that. Since then, whenever I see it, it reminds me of cleaning. “I thank you for joining with me and with Morrnah in the sacred task of leading the children back to the Source. Ihaleakala and Morrnah always conveyed messages about connecting to the source, and among those messages, the most important thing is that everything is within oneself. By taking 100% responsibility for oneself, one can regain a perfect connection within oneself first, and then with the external world. I am grateful to Ihaleakala for teaching me this, even in this present moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other articles in memory of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n January 15, 2022\uff1aIn Memory of Dr. Hew Len<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n January 21, 2022\uff1aINTO DIVINITY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n January 15, 2023\uff1aWho is 100% responsible for the problems<On the one-year anniversary of the passing of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n January 17, 2023\uff1aVol. 1 : Mary Koehler (Part 1)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n January 24, 2023\uff1aVol. 1 : Mary Koehler (Part 2)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n January 31, 2023\uff1aVol. 1 : Mary Koehler (Part 3)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n February 7, 2023\uff1aVol. 2 : Marvin Kala\u2019iki Grino<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n February 14, 2023\uff1aVol. 3 : WAI\u2019ALE\u2019A CRAVEN x<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n February 21, 2023\uff1aVol. 4 : Betty Pua Taira<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n February 28, 2023\uff1aVol. 5\uff1aGulya Kekaulike Polikoff<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n March 7, 2023\uff1aVol. 6\uff1aNello Ceccon<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n March 14, 2023\uff1aVol. 7\uff1aJean-Pierre Deluca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n March 28, 2023\uff1aVol. 8\uff1aDeborah Haleiwa Mangis<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n April 11, 2023\uff1aVol. 9\uff1aMomilani Ramstrum<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n April 18, 2023\uff1aVol. 10\uff1aPatricia Leolani Hill<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n April 25, 2023\uff1aVol. 11\uff1aIrene Schwonek<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n May 9, 2023\uff1aVol. 12\uff1aMahayana I.

Through spending time with Morrnah and Ihaleakala, I truly learned that “you can only touch your true essence by erasing and erasing.” And it is the greatest gift for our existence to know that there is a way to understand our own existence and to experience it. Its benefits are immeasurable. Instead of living in fear, worry, or self-blame, we can remember that we can clean in every moment.
In this moment, I sincerely express my gratitude for all the cleaning Ihaleakala has done. At the same time, it is important to emphasize that he only cleaned his own memories, no matter the circumstances or the world he faced. That greatness is something I deeply feel. Because he did that, my husband, myself, my business, and my family have also been cleaned.
He is my Ohana (family). Although he only met my mother four times, he was always kind to her. He sent her roses and letters of gratitude. But even in that process, he was cleaning himself. I am deeply grateful for his kindness. My mother lived to be 99 and a half years old.
Ihaleakala was truly a person filled with kindness. Even in this moment, I am cleaning my feelings of missing him. This desire to meet him is also a memory within myself.
Throughout the 40 years, every time Ihaleakala visited our home, he left us a letter of gratitude addressed to my husband and me. But I want to share one of them here because it is meant for everyone who practices Ho’oponopono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The re-education of a man is the re-education of self. More specifically who we are.
I never said, Morrnah never said this would be easy. In fact both had said that track back home would not be easy. Looking at self and taking total responsibility for all of our problems. And for all of the problems around us goes contrary. To our addictions and addictions of blaming, judging, talking, thinking and arrogance.
Yet to be have prevailed, not uncased but we have prevailed. I thank you both for being my family and joining all around foundation on peace of earth and throughout the cosmos. May the coming days and months be a continual journey of self discovery and finding the source within. Peace. Peace. Peace.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
