I was searching for a job that would be a better fit for me when I remembered something about <a href=\"https:\/\/hooponopono-asia.org\/en\/product\/ceeport-bluebottle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Blue Solar Water<\/a> that I read in a magazine a long time ago. This led me to recall the phrase \u201cHo&#8217;oponopono,\u201d which intrigued me, and I ended up reading <a href=\"https:\/\/hooponopono-asia.org\/en\/booklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len\u2019s book<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was struck by the idea that the cause of my problems lies in my memories, and decided to start \u201ccleaning\u201d these memories to discover my true self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before learning about this cleansing process, I used to belittle myself for doing cleaning work and wondered if there might be other jobs where I could better use my skills. I doubted myself due to a lack of qualifications, felt I lacked time and physical strength, and was often overwhelmed by feelings of inferiority, resignation, and hope. There were times I cried while working because it was so hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even now, these thoughts emerge, but I chant phrases like &#8220;I love you&#8221; and &#8220;Ice blue&#8221; to cleanse myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lately, when I&#8217;m at work, I sometimes see rainbows at the edge of the mirror in the toilet or in the light coming through the hallway windows, which brings me joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ho&#8217;oponopono can be practiced alone and using its tools is enjoyable. Since starting to practice this cleansing, my mind has felt lighter. I intend to continue caring for myself and practicing this method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was struck by the idea that the cause of my problems lies in my memories, and decided to start \u201ccleaning\u201d these memories to discover my true self.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9586,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","genre":[106],"newspostcategories":[135],"class_list":{"0":"post-9585","1":"story","2":"type-story","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"genre-selfcare","7":"newspostcategories-post-story"},"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO Pro 4.9.5.2 -
