\u2500\u2500 We received a question from a participant: \u201cI\u2019ve had pain on the left side of my body\u2014from my neck to my lower back\u2014for over 20 years. Doctors can\u2019t find the cause. My mother passed away in a car accident, and the side that was hit was also the left side of her body. Is my pain related to my mother\u2019s accident? How should I clean with this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What matters most is whether you have begun cleaning.
As I\u2019ve shared before, cleaning means to clean with the thoughts and emotions that arise in the moment.
The tools you use can differ from person to person.
Some use a writing worksheet; others use the 12 Steps or different tools.
Ask yourself, \u201cHow can I clean right now?\u201d
Then clean with that very question.
Divinity will guide you to the approach that fits you.
What\u2019s essential is releasing memory through cleaning\u2014
and educating yourself, meaning, understanding how the cleaning process unfolds.
The role of a Ho\u2019oponopono instructor is not to do the cleaning for someone else.
It is simply to share what cleaning is.
It\u2019s possible that this pain on the left side is connected to memories related to the person\u2019s late mother.
If you remember the date, location, or details of the accident, include all of them in your cleaning.
Also include your own experiences and feelings from the time you lost your mother\u2014
for example, what you felt as a child. All of it is material for cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<Clean Even When You Feel \u201cI Can\u2019t Believe It\u201d><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 I feel that while cleaning seems simple, it can be difficult to trust and continue. Yes. <Women\u2019s Challenges Are Also Memory Replays><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 Next question: First, remember that each of us is born perfect. \u2500\u2500 Jean, I also had swelling in my gums this year. That\u2019s wonderful. <Our True Nature Is Perfection><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 Lastly, please share the mindset that helps us continue cleaning for health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, understand clearly what Ho\u2019oponopono is. Jean shares:
\n\n\n\n
Some people may think, \u201cDoes it really work?\u201d or \u201cDo memories really disappear?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we feel \u201cI can\u2019t believe this,\u201d it\u2019s like building a small prison inside ourselves and locking ourselves in.
We end up suffering inside a cage created by our own thoughts.
That disbelief stops the flow of cleaning.
So please clean with those very thoughts\u2014\u201cI can\u2019t believe it,\u201d \u201cIs this really true?\u201d
Those are memories as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\u201cMany women experience physical and emotional discomfort during menopause, and we often hear that being a woman is hard.
How should we clean with the difficulties of menopause?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Menopause, menstrual pain, and other women-specific challenges don\u2019t occur \u201cbecause we are women.\u201d
They are replays of memories stored in the inner memory bank.
Those memories may be related to the experiences of family or ancestors\u00a0for example, the influence of someone\u2019s unresolved memory of miscarriage or abortion.
However, it isn\u2019t necessary to know where the memory comes from.
Every state we experience is simply the result of memories being replayed in that moment.
I experienced menopause about 20 years ago.
At that time, I cleaned with each belief I held about \u201cmenopause\u201d\u2014
\u201cyou gain weight,\u201d \u201cit\u2019s hard,\u201d \u201cmoods become unstable,\u201d and so on.
Then one morning I received inspiration:
\u201cSpend 10 minutes in sunlight every day.\u201d
I followed that guidance, and as a result I did not experience significant discomfort during menopause.
However, that was inspiration for me personally.
It won\u2019t necessarily apply to others in the same way.
Divinity teaches each of us in the way that fits us.
That is what we are truly seeking.
In any situation, the starting point of cleaning is your present thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
If you hold the thought \u201cmenopause is difficult,\u201d begin by cleaning with that thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I continued cleaning for about 2 months with no change, and I began to feel anxious and impatient.
Searching the internet only brought frightening information, and my fear grew.
Even so, I kept cleaning. Then one morning, I sensed an inner voice: \u201cTry rinsing with Himalayan rock salt water.\u201d
After about 1 week, the swelling disappeared naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you let go of the thought called \u201cworry,\u201d
inspiration from Divinity reached you.
What I want everyone to know is how to trust the inspiration that comes from within.
When you can do that, anyone can become their own guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
When you understand that, you will find a way to help yourself in any situation.
Ho\u2019oponopono is not something you practice to \u201carrive\u201d somewhere.
It is the very process of living.
Also, cherish your inner family\u2014Uhane, Unihipili, and Aumakua.
In times of crisis, the one who helps us is not someone outside, but our inner self.
Divinity is not outside of us;
it exists within us, in the quietest place.
That\u2019s why the connection with the inner family is so important.
Through that connection, the guidance of Divinity flows within us.
Whatever situation we are in, whatever pain we carry, we are perfect beings created by Divinity.
What appears as our current reality is simply the memories we have created, received, and accumulated over a long span of time.
Yet in Ho\u2019oponopono, we can always begin again.
People often say life gives you a \u201csecond chance,\u201d but in Ho\u2019oponopono, there is a third, a fourth\u2014chances as many times as needed.
When you continue cleaning and cherish your inner family, Divinity is always sending blessings to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\u201cRather than relying on someone else, become the one who helps yourself.
