<How do you practice cleaning throughout the day?><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 Next, I\u2019d like to ask you about this. That\u2019s a wonderful question. I\u2019ve never been asked that before. I think I can share a little about how I clean throughout the day. <Do Not Keep Asking \u201cWhy?\u201d><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 Thank you for sharing. Whenever we feel fear, it is always the replaying of memories. <How Do We Clean a Child\u2019s \u201cInternet Addiction\u201d?><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2500\u2500 Thank you so much. This has been incredibly helpful. Thank you. Children truly are beautiful gifts to us. They give us countless opportunities for cleaning, one after another. \u2500\u2500 Yes\u2026 in many cases, we are speaking from memory. We want our children to listen to us and to do what we think is best. Actually, there is a small secret I use when I\u2019m with my children. \u2500\u2500 That\u2019s wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing that small secret. Every answer was so beautiful, I was listening with my whole heart. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Christine shared how she practices cleaning in every aspect of daily life, and she also taught us a special way of cleaning together with children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11471,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","teachername":[107],"genre":[106],"newspostcategories":[132],"class_list":{"0":"post-11470","1":"interview","2":"type-interview","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"teachername-christine-leimakamae-chu","8":"genre-selfcare","9":"newspostcategories-post-interview"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t

Your work as an accountant in the construction industry feels like a very logical profession. On the other hand, Ho\u2019oponopono is a spiritual method.
I love emotional and spiritual things, but I\u2019m not very good at logical matters. When something becomes too theoretical, it feels as if my thoughts collide in my head, and I get overwhelmed.
That\u2019s why I\u2019m very curious. How do you, Christine, balance reason and intuition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is read the \u201c12 Step Process\u201d of Ho\u2019oponopono.
During work, I clean the emails I send and receive, the data I touch, my schedule for the day, the people I meet, and even their names. Doing this helps me return to a state of peace.
At the level of consciousness, I think, \u201cI\u2019m going to work,\u201d but in truth, I understand that the real reason I\u2019m there is because I\u2019m being given an opportunity to let go of memories within me.
Each time, I clean as if this is the last time I will ever need to clean that memory\u2014memories related to money, people, documents, and spreadsheets.
Sometimes I become too serious and overthink things. When that happens, I need to take a break. I drink water, do the HA breathing, or do something else so that I don\u2019t take my thoughts too heavily.
I\u2019m someone who gets stressed easily. It happens often. But in any moment, I can choose a tool to clean whatever is happening.
Many things happen in everyone\u2019s life.
Behind each event, an enormous amount of information is unfolding, but our consciousness can perceive only a tiny fraction of it. That means we cannot truly know what is really happening.
By cleaning, we no longer have to experience the scenarios that past memories would otherwise keep replaying for us.
So please clean without expectations.
What we are meant to do is to ask ourselves, in this very moment:
\u201cHow do I feel right now?\u201d
\u201cWhat is inspiration guiding me to do right now?\u201d
It might be saying, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you go for a walk now?\u201d
We always come back to this one point: caring for ourselves and honoring ourselves. This is the most important thing.
In Ho\u2019oponopono, we say that we were created in the same image as love, in the same image as Divinity.
Originally, we were one with love. Then we lost our way, and Ho\u2019oponopono is the process of returning to that love.
When we practice, we sometimes only touch the surface. We read a bit of the manual, try a little, then stop. We take fragments from different places and try them, wondering, \u201cWill this work?\u201d
But in that way, the essence of Ho\u2019oponopono does not open.
There is a deeper question.
Why are we so afraid of love?
Ho\u2019oponopono brings us back to love, because love is what truly matters. Inner peace is what truly matters.
And what is beautiful is that when we ourselves are love and peace, the outer world is healed as well.
Homes, towns, even the land itself\u2014all are healed.
We want to solve the problems in our lives, and we want to care for our families and the people around us. That\u2019s natural. But all of that begins with caring for ourselves first, with loving ourselves.
It may sound a little selfish. But when the inside is filled with love, everything on the outside naturally returns to where it belongs.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/hooponopono-asia.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ChristineChristine-Xiaolin_2-700x394.jpg\")

I was thinking about this earlier as well.
If our true essence is love, and if we are seeking love, then why are we afraid of it?
Why do we hesitate to open our hearts, to accept others, and to love them?
I wondered\u2026
Perhaps it is because memories of being hurt by love in the past remain heavy within us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though it doesn\u2019t feel good to be afraid, for some reason we still end up following that fear.
The sooner we realize that \u201cthis is just a replay of memories\u201d and choose cleaning, the sooner we can let it go.
We carry memories that span many generations\u2014memories of our families, relatives, and ancestors.
There is no way for us to know where a particular memory came from.
But we do know how to release those memories.
In truth, we cannot know why love is frightening, why we run away from love, or why we feel fear.
There is only one thing we can know.
Do we follow the voice of those memories, block the path toward love, and stop moving forward?
Or do we pause for a moment, stop following the replay of memories, use a cleaning tool, and say to what is happening right now:
\u201cThank you for showing up. Thank you for giving me an opportunity to let go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

This is my final question. You have your work, and you also have three children. I have two children myself. For many women, children\u2019s education is one of their greatest concerns.
I often hear from many participants that their children dislike studying. As mothers, when we see our children not studying, giving up easily, or spending all their time on games, we become anxious. I feel that way too.
Children today love games, and it seems hard for them to stay away from electronic devices. The temptation is very strong. They want to finish their homework quickly so they can play more games.
In moments like that, how should we clean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Ho\u2019oponopono, we say that what we clean is not the child\u2019s appearance itself, but what we are experiencing through the child. In other words, what we are cleaning is our own experience.
For example, when I feel that my child is not studying enough, or that they are playing too many games, all of this is my own experience of feeling that way.
Thoughts such as \u201cThey should study more\u201d or \u201cThey should play fewer games\u201d are all beliefs within me.
When I clean those thoughts and let them go, I notice that unexpected things begin to happen.
For example, my child may stop playing games on their own, or achieve very good results on an exam. These things happen beyond all of my expectations.
Of course, growing children do need certain boundaries.
But before telling a child \u201cthis is okay\u201d or \u201cthis is not okay,\u201d I first clean myself. By doing so, I can speak from love, and my inner state becomes aligned.
Because there is only one question that truly matters.
When we speak to our children, are we speaking from love, or are we speaking from memory?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But children are very intelligent, and they don\u2019t simply accept what their parents say.
That\u2019s why it\u2019s important for parents to take responsibility and clean their own experiences and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s speaking to them after they have fallen asleep.
In my heart, I speak to them like this:
\u201cI love you. Thank you for being my child.\u201d
Then, as I reflect on the interactions I had with them that day, I clean. If there were moments when my words were not appropriate, I say,
\u201cI\u2019m sorry. I love you.\u201d
A child\u2019s subconscious can receive these messages.
In that moment, while they are sleeping, when you say \u201cI love you,\u201d the child can hear it.
And what matters most of all is love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
