Have we, without even realizing it, become bound by rules such as "I must always stay positive" or "If I can’t feel grateful, something is wrong with me"?<\/p>\n

The first thing I would like to share is that these are nothing more than "old programs (memories)" created by someone.<\/p>\n

Let us gently review what we currently take for granted, one by one, while cleaning.<\/p>\n

It is said that human beings have as many as 72 different emotions.<\/p>\n

\n

Imagine this.
In front of you is a piano with 72 keys.<\/p>\n

Bright, light sounds (joy, happiness)
Low, heavy sounds (sadness, depression, anger)<\/p>\n

A piano needs both low notes and high notes.<\/p>\n

Just because a low sound is played does not mean the piano is broken.<\/p>\n

In the same way, even if you are feeling "sadness" or "heaviness" right now, it is simply one note playing the experience of being human.<\/p>\n

From the perspective of Ho’oponopono, the emotion of happiness and the emotion of depression are not superior or inferior to one another.<\/p>\n

Even the attachment of "wanting to be happy" itself becomes something we clean.<\/p>\n

This is because attachment to a particular state can interfere with the state of "Zero (Void)" that Divinity brings.<\/p>\n

Many people try to practice cleaning in order to solve problems or to erase unpleasant emotions.<\/p>\n

However, the purpose of cleaning is not to produce results, but to return to Zero.<\/p>\n

Zero is the quiet state where we release even the plans we have carefully created, expect nothing, and simply remain connected with Divine Intelligence (Divinity).<\/p>\n

In fact, through my own experience, I have found that the key to the success of any project lies here.<\/p>\n

Of course, it is good to create various plans and goals.<\/p>\n

But in the process of cleaning them at the same time, there are moments when we return to ourselves at Zero.<\/p>\n

At that moment, we are able to receive the necessary information, capital, and energy.<\/p>\n

Living in the modern world, we are surrounded by so much information and the emotional waves that come with it that we can easily feel as though we might drown if we are not careful.<\/p>\n

If you feel as though you are being overwhelmed by emotional waves, try pausing your thinking for a moment.<\/p>\n

The method is simple. Return to cleaning.<\/p>\n

Simply observe your breath.<\/p>\n

That alone allows us to return to the present moment in 3 seconds and open the door to Zero.<\/p>\n

No matter what kind of sound you are playing, you are always loved and protected by Divine Intelligence.<\/p>\n
