What you shared about how students naturally came when you cleaned is a great reminder for me about cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a course organizer in China, my colleagues and I sometimes feel anxious about enrollment. Sometimes, I wonder if we\u2019ve hit a market bottleneck, so we hold team meetings to discuss strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your story reminded me that we need to clean instead of thinking about how to promote the courses. This gives me more confidence to clean in my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you so much. \u2500\u2500 That was incredible! I can\u2019t wait to attend your Ho\u2019oponopono course. Thank you, thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through this story, I want to share the energy that cleaning can bring.

Once, we were planning an event, but the venue I secured could only accommodate 100 people, and we had more people wanting to attend. I had no way of accommodating them. So, Dr. Hew Len and I continued cleaning on this issue, wondering how the situation would unfold. Through cleaning, we received inspiration: “Allow everyone who wants to join this course to attend.”
When I heard this, I started thinking, “How am I going to do this? How can I solve this problem?” The venue could only hold 100 people, and I was at a loss. At that time, I did everything I could\u2014calling hotels everywhere\u2014but all of them told me their spaces were booked.
I couldn\u2019t find another venue, but I kept cleaning.
One day, I suddenly received inspiration: “Call this hotel again.” So, I made the call, but the staff still told me the venue was booked. I then asked, “Do you know where I might find a venue?” That person told me about a place in the area, so I went to check it out.
A lady showed me the space, and when I saw it, I thought, “Wow, this is perfect!” It could hold around 200 people. I called Dr. Hew Len to ask if I should keep waiting and cleaning. He replied, “Marvin, go with your decision.”
After securing the venue, we still had more people wanting to join the course, exceeding 200 attendees. I was again faced with the challenge of not having enough space. Around 50 of the attendees were review participants.
That\u2019s when I decided to speak to them.
I didn\u2019t call them directly. Instead, in my mind, I said to them: “I love you,” and asked, “Could you let the new participants have the opportunity to attend the course in person? If possible, please join this session remotely.”
In my mind, I kept repeating, “I love you, I love you, I love you.”
Later, many of those review participants emailed me, saying they would attend the course remotely. Dr. Hew Len told me, “See? They heard what you said to them.”
Through this story, I want to share the energy that cleaning can bring. Cleaning itself is simple, but when we practice, it\u2019s not always easy. The challenge lies in our willingness to take 100% responsibility for ourselves.
I think it\u2019s like playing baseball, basketball, or golf\u2014you have to keep your focus on the ball. In Ho\u2019oponopono, the “ball” is cleaning.
Nothing happens in our lives by chance; there\u2019s always a reason. However, our conscious minds might not know the specific reason, and that\u2019s not our job to figure out. Sometimes we ask, “Why am I experiencing this?” But what we really need to do is clean.
In my early practice of Ho\u2019oponopono, I asked Dr. Hew Len why I was experiencing certain problems. He said, “It\u2019s because you\u2019re not doing your job\u2014you\u2019re not cleaning.”
It can be hard to keep cleaning because we aren\u2019t always consciously aware of the memories being replayed or whether the cleaning is even happening.
But in my experience, after years of practicing cleaning, I\u2019ve seen many changes in my business, relationships, family, and children. I\u2019ve gained so much. If I were to share all my stories with you, I could talk for an entire day. That\u2019s why I say: cleaning is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, Dr. Hew Len shared a phrase with me: “The essence of cleaning is that it does its own work.”
I remember that people from many countries around the world were inviting Dr. Hew Len to teach courses. He told me he needed help and asked if I was willing to teach as an instructor.
Initially, I said no, no, no\u2014I didn\u2019t want to teach. But I continued cleaning. After some time, I felt ready to teach.
During the cleaning process, Dr. Hew Len told me, “It\u2019s not you teaching the course; it\u2019s the cleaning that teaches.” I didn\u2019t understand what he meant at the time. But as I continued cleaning, I realized what he was saying.
I remember the first Ho\u2019oponopono course I taught was in my own area. The second was in Japan. At that time, my Japanese colleagues Betty and Genio told me, “We\u2019ve wanted you to teach in Japan for two to three years.” That\u2019s when I realized that I had been blocking those opportunities before.
When I cleaned and released those barriers, cleaning brought the right people to the course.
In other words, our role is to clean, and Divinity will handle the rest.
It\u2019s not about how many people we want in the course. It\u2019s about cleaning, and Divinity takes care of the work.
When a student signs up for a Ho\u2019oponopono course, it\u2019s not just the individual coming\u2014they bring their ancestors\u2019 energy with them. Each person is connected to their family, relatives, and ancestors.
When we clean, Divinity brings the right people to us, giving us the opportunity to include them in our cleaning.
China is a vast country with a large population. On a bigger scale, we are all interconnected. What we need to do is clean, so we can free ourselves and others.
I have many stories like this and can share more during the courses. But the important thing is to remember that whatever happens in our lives is an memory replaying. Through cleaning, we can regain our freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
