I am reminded every day of the importance of continuing the practice of Ho\u2019oponopono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter the problem, the connection with the inner family is more important than anything else. Regardless of what is happening outside, I take a step back and remind myself, \u201cI don\u2019t know what is really happening or what it means.\u201d From there, I shift my focus inward and, together with my Unihipili, I check one by one what is occurring inside. By continuing cleaning, I have always been able to return to my true path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in human relationships, I use cleaning tools for what I am experiencing in that moment. Then I say, \u201cDear Divinity, You know what is best. I do not.\u201d In doing so, I let go of the urge to solve things with my thinking\u2014that is, I release the memories. Even when fear, anxiety, and various thoughts arise, I entrust them all to the cleaning and let them go. And in return, something completely unexpected often comes back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About a year and a half ago, I moved to New York to take a position at a foundation. It was a role that came as a continuation of my long career in nonprofit fundraising. I cleaned and felt, \u201cThis is the right step for me,\u201d so I accepted the job and relocated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, while working there, I began to sense that something didn\u2019t feel right. I kept cleaning, and eventually, inspiration came: \u201cNo matter how much I clean, this is not the right place for me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried to return to the place of \u201cI don\u2019t know what is really happening,\u201d and continued cleaning. And I received the inspiration that it was not right for me to stay in that job. Because I had cleaned all the thoughts and judgments beforehand, the decision that followed came very smoothly. As soon as I returned to my home on the East Coast, a new opportunity came to me. It\u2019s been about four months since I started my new job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This whole experience was a learning for me. In every job I\u2019ve had so far, organizational restructuring and major changes would happen while I was there. Amid those shifts, I always cleaned whatever arose in my relationships with colleagues and superiors. That\u2019s why I believed, \u201cNo matter what happens, I can clean.\u201d But this time, I realized, \u201cEven if I clean, this won\u2019t change\u2014because this isn\u2019t where I\u2019m meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Ho\u2019oponopono, even our workplace has its own identity, and we can \u201cdialogue\u201d with it. Why I ended up in that job in New York\u2014truly, I still don\u2019t know. But one thing is certain: I went through that experience, place, and job in order to clean myself. Whether I liked what I experienced or not, it was simply a trigger for cleaning. And if I can engage with that place through cleaning, the next \u201cright place\u201d for me will naturally appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
