I first encountered Ho\u2019oponopono when I was 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, I was working in sales, but meeting people itself had become a major source of stress. I struggled with intense anxiety, nervousness, and panic attacks. I constantly felt something was missing, lost confidence by comparing myself to others, and was swayed by daily events, unable to find direction in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was during that time that I found Ho\u2019oponopono. In a class I attended, I happened to sit next to Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona. I asked her about my anxiety and lack of confidence, and she asked me:
\u201cHave you cleaned with the cause?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment she asked, I felt my awareness clearly shift inward. I realized that every experience is something my inner child\u2014Unihilipi\u2014is showing me, and that it\u2019s all repeated memory. Through her words, I learned that overcoming anxiety wasn\u2019t about searching for confidence \u201coutside,\u201d but about working with what is \u201cinside.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of harshly judging myself or measuring my shortcomings, I began\u2014bit by bit\u2014to build a relationship with my inner child, offering love and care to the part of me I had long neglected. Of course, touching on deep memories or trauma came with pain. I still experienced trembling in my body or felt uncertain about my own decisions in work and relationships. But when I noticed those feelings, rather than asking, \u201cWhose fault is this?\u201d or \u201cWhy is this happening?\u201d I first spoke to my inner child. I kept practicing: \u201cWhen something happens, I first turn inward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fear and anxiety didn\u2019t suddenly disappear. But even in moments of panic, by remembering \u201cThe cause is within me\u201d and cleaning, I gradually became able to restore calm within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When your heart is restless with anxiety and you can\u2019t seem to find a sense of calm or confidence, that is precisely the time to \u201cface what has arisen without fear, observe it, and clean.\u201d That alone is enough. It is a gentle, beautiful process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through practice, we can teach this to our inner child, our Unihipili:
\u201cInstead of getting caught in the confusion, we can choose to clean.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In doing so, we reconnect more deeply with our inner family\u2014and begin to reclaim our true confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace,
