Healing the World From Within Ourselves

Hawaii is home to a very special therapy called Ho'oponopono. This therapy involves self identity and a deep understanding and awareness of who we are and how our actions, reactions and everything we do affects the world around us.

There is a book released this year called ZERO LIMITS The Secret To The Hawaiian System For Wealth, Health, Peace and More. It is co-written by Dr. Joe Vitale, who you may have seen in the movie The Secret and Ihaleakala Hew Len, PhD, Chairman Emeritus of The Foundation of I, Inc. Freedom of the Cosmos.

Because this blog deals with many issues that are based on the Concerned Voices primarily in Hawaii and Maui, I thought it was only fitting to be sure to include information about Ho'oponopono and teachers of that therapy.

While it is important that we speak up on issues that affect us all, we must also take personal responsibility and look within ourselves for the answers to the problems. Our world is in need of a great deal of healing and we can't expect the next person to do it. We collectively need to take the position that we can only change ourselves and through that change we will create the changes that are needed in the world.

I am no expert in Ho'oponopono and I am reading ZERO LIMITS and learning what I can. I would just hope that each and every person that reads this blog would learn more about this practice and adopt it into their lives. If we all practiced Ho'oponopono in our daily lives while driving our crowded roads, shopping in our malls and stores, attending movies and events, we can then put our Concerned Voices to work in healing our families, our homes, our islands and our planet. It's not an impossible task. Just one we all need to begin.

thank you for bringing up this subject....let there be peace and let it begin with me.....in the 70s i studied with kahuna Morna Simeona in some of the ho'oponopono healing arts....after that teaching i did my best to apply those principles to my daily life. I made also a committment to work with the principles of compassion,self compassion, peace and objectivity that I believe are at the heart of ho'oponoono in each and every massage therapy session in my career,some 25,000 hrs so far, and i believe this has kept me and my clients more healthy.
