This Article is actually the outcome of a very profound experience that I had recently.
It all started with a book given to me by a friend. A book called "Zero Limits" - by Joe Vitale. This book explains in detail, a Hawaiin philosophy and healing method called the Ho'oponopono, more specifically Self Identity through Ho'oponopono (or SITH for short). This process was first mastered by a Hawaiin psychologist Dr. Hew Len who became a rage overnight when he successfully treated a whole ward of mentally ill criminals at a Hawaiin Hospital using this method without even meeting them.
This magical method professed by the book seems to have the answers for all of life's problems. So, for a lot of us realists (including me), who believe that "problems are a part of life" and that "there can be no perfect life" may actually have to rethink about the way we have been living all this time. Atleast, it made me do so.
So what is really this magical method ? This article may not be able to explain the nitty grittys of the practice, but i can sure make an attempt to present to it to my readers in a nutshell.
Ho'oponopono literally means 'to make right' or 'to rectify an error'. According to the ancient Hawaiians, error arises from thoughts that are tainted by painful memories from the past. Ho’oponopono offers a way to release the energy of these painful thoughts, or errors, which cause imbalance and disease Ho’oponopono is a process of letting go of toxic energies within you to allow the impact of Divine thoughts, words, deeds, and actions. But How ?
Basically, the method of SITH revolves around the concept that 'there is no out there'. Your conscious world, your reality, is a reflection of your own unconscious mind. Basically the entire universe resides inside of you and that you are responsible for the reality that you create.
The Idea is taking total responsibility for whatever comes in your conscious being. So, not only for yourself, but even if there is someone else in your life- your spouse, your parents, siblings, friends anyone,who is facing a problem or error, you are responsible for it since you share that energy with that person, but that also means, you have the power to heal it within you. Still Confused?
SITH explains that whenever you come across someone who is facing a problem, you question yourself that what is it inside you that has caused this person the pain or that you are experiencing this reality? It is then when you start healing, or as SITH explains it- start "cleaning"
SITH is actually a two stage process. First, we take our minds to our 'zero state'. The state where there is nothing. Yes it is similar to what Zen Buddhism professes but with a tweak. According to this theory, All of us have a point of Zero. We all know that the Universe began from zero. This Zero state is where there are no thoughts, no memories, no limitations. It is a state of complete bliss. This Zero State is in complete sync with the Divinity. In this state you have no limitations. It is simply a state of no thoughts. Zero. Complete Zero. It is when you are at this state you are at your creative best.
The Second Stage is, the cleaning process. When we are at the zero state and in sync with Divinity, all we have to do is petition Divinity to erase off all the painful past memories, all errors that have caused the problem in your life or the life of someone who you know. How do you do this? The answer is by saying four simple phrases-
I love you, I am sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you
This is all that you say to the Divine. repeatedly. while in your state of zero.
So, three things - 1. Take total responsibility of your conscious world, understand that any problems that exist whether in you or another person is due to past toxic memories playing in your universe which have created errors that manifest in your conscious world. Understand that there is no 'out there' and that your conscious world is merely a reflection of the universe inside of you;
2. Identify the problem and then go to your zero state ;and
3.Say these four phrases repeatedly to the divine - I love you I am sorry please forgive me thank you . This helps divinity erase the errors caused by you in the form of your past memories and fills the void with love.
Continuous cleaning also keeps you in a Zero State. So it is a circular pattern, clean to get to the zero state and once you are in the zero state, clean again.
I found the concept quite interesting so I tried doing the cleaning. And I cannot say it did not work at all. I do not want to be like one of those marketing persons about the philosophy. It is purely to be experienced. No matter what i say or anyone else does, one only believes what they experience.
This Philosophy also has a close connection to the Bhagwad Gita. Bhakti yoga is said to be highest form of yoga as explained in the Gita. And the central theme of bhakti yoga is love for Krishna. Unconditional and Unbounded love for him. Bhakti has a lot of power. The ancient scriptures said it can even move mountains. somewhere, I felt, the SITH method also revolves around the power of love for divinity and the way it can transform our lives. Making love the centre point can go a long way in changing negativity into positivity, darkness into light, fear into hope and confusion into clarity.
So, try this practice and see if this brings some change in your life. Who knows, a miracle may be round the corner.
