Clearing Negativity

Another effective way of clearing negativity is by seeking Divine intervention. One method growing in popularity is called Ho‘oponopono – which in Hawaiian means ―to make right or cleanse‖.

Ho‘oponopono is an ancient practice that has recently been brought back into public awareness through the work of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len and Dr. Joe Vitale and their book Zero Limits. 

The basic premise for Ho‘oponopono is that we must take full responsibility for everything that happens in our lives. This can be a hard pill to swallow for many of us because we don‘t create problems and struggles on purpose – but our subconscious thoughts are often quietly working in the background to attract things we don‘t want into our lives.

Dr. Hew Len suggests that our minds can only be influenced by two things: memories or inspiration. ―Memories‖ are subconscious thoughts and old programs that continually replay in our minds, causing pain, frustration and problems. ―Inspiration‖ comes when we erase those old memories and reconnect with our source (Divinity).

Ho‘oponopono is used to erase those memories and reconnect with Divinity. Not only is it a very easy process to use, it can often have far-reaching positive effects in your life. 

Ho‘oponopono involves the recitation of four simple phrases as you focus on your problems:

- I‟m sorry

- Please forgive me

- Thank you

- I love you

As you say these words repeatedly while focusing on the issues that are causing you to feel fear or pain, you are in essence saying to the Divine, “I take full responsibility for the appearance of these problems in my life, even if I don‟t know how I created them. Please clear these memories and make this situation right again. Thank you. I love you.”

Does that sound too simple? Too good to be true? Try it yourself and you‘ll probably discover what many people do: it works!
