This is an interview article with Christine.
Christine\u2019s responses are highlighted in Yellow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

In the previous interview<\/a><\/strong>, Christine shared that our true essence is love and that we are already perfect.
However, in our daily lives, we often forget this.
For example, when we are abandoned by a partner or disliked by someone, how should we do cleaning?
How can we continue to cherish ourselves in those moments?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<What Should We Do When Strong Emotions Overwhelm Us?><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u2500\u2500 You teach us that our true essence is love, yet we quickly forget that truth.
When major events happen in life, it can feel very difficult to start cleaning again or to trust the cleaning process.

For example, one student was asked for a divorce by her husband. She is feeling deep pain.

When we are in the midst of complex and intense emotions such as profound sadness and anger, how can we remember to clean again?
In situations like this, what kind of cleaning tools can help us move through these feelings?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is very interesting. In truth, we do not really know what is good or what is bad.

If that woman is doing cleaning, her husband asking for a divorce may actually be something that is guiding her toward the path she is meant to walk. \u2014 I do not truly know.

However, what I sense is that we spend a great deal of time judging each moment of what happens to us.
\u201cThis should have happened.\u201d
\u201cThis should not have happened.\u201d
\u201cHe should do this.\u201d
\u201cShe should do that.\u201d
We make these kinds of conclusions.

But in reality, when something happens, we can also choose to take a step back and begin cleaning.
While using cleaning tools, we can allow ourselves to trust what life is trying to show us right now.

We do not know what is happening behind the scenes, beyond what we can see.
Therefore, our only purpose is to continue cleaning.

So, when her husband tells her he wants a divorce, our work is just one thing\u2014
to begin cleaning that situation.
At the same time, it is to cherish ourselves and to take care of our inner family (Unihipili, Uhane, Aumakua).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[How Christine Does Cleaning]

When we are in the midst of intense emotional turmoil, cleaning tools that involve the body are especially helpful.
This is because cleaning is happening in that moment, even if we are not consciously thinking about cleaning.

For example, when I am crying, I drink Blue Solar Water.
I am still feeling the emotions, but at some point, I suddenly begin to calm down.
Or I do HA Breathing.
I may also take small actions to care for myself.

At the same time, there is something very important.
We are human beings.
Experiencing sadness or anger is natural, and it is not a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last weekend, I attended a funeral.
I brought several cleaning tools with me.
During that time, I experienced many emotions and shed tears.

At times like this, we may sink deeply into our emotions.
In those moments, it is important to be able to say to ourselves,
\u201cIt is okay to cry. It is okay to feel angry.\u201d

Without denying the emotions we are experiencing, we simply look at them as they are and accept them.
There is no need to blame ourselves or beat ourselves up by asking, \u201cWhy do I feel this way?\u201d

And then, when our feelings settle even a little, we can return to cleaning again.<\/p>\n\n\n

<How Do We Face Someone Who Dislikes Us?><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

\u2500\u2500 Thank you. I have one last question.
In daily life, how should we do cleaning when we encounter someone who directs strong hostility toward us?

We do not really know what is happening. It may be related to memories from a past life. But in any case, it is also an opportunity to let go.
We do not know how many related memories exist within us, but they also need to be cleaned.
That is why we continue cleaning again and again, and keep saying to ourselves, \u201cI love you, let\u2019s let go.\u201d

Have you ever had the experience of being strongly disliked by someone in your life?
At that time, how did you do cleaning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is a good question.
In the past, there was a colleague at work who did not like me very much. For a while, I carried uncomfortable feelings about it.
But I cannot control her attitude. The only thing I can adjust is myself.

I realized something.
When I continued to hold on to hurt feelings, I was actually hurting myself with those emotions.
So I needed to return to the inside of myself.

As I continued cleaning, even if she was still angry during meetings, that anger no longer affected me.
This is because the person I need to take care of is myself.

So I gently separated myself from anger. I did not connect with the anger and instead practiced cleaning.
When we get entangled with anger, cleaning can feel very difficult.
I believe the first step is to look at what is happening inside of us, but not to get too caught up in it.
By doing so, we can return to cleaning more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2500\u2500 Thank you very much.
Today, you shared a great deal about ways of cleaning.
Ho\u2018oponopono cleaning is a long process and something like a part of daily life.
Rather than trying to immediately fix something by using cleaning, it is important to bring ourselves back into cleaning and continue to trust the cleaning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
