Hi
I was introduced to Ho'oponopono by Dr William Bloom (see
William Bloom - Holistic Wellbeing, Spiritual Development) and then came across Joe Vitale's book in a charity shop. Had it been the other way around I may have been sceptical as I'm not a fan of The Secret, but I've been using the technique for the last year & can honestly say it has been amazingly powerful.
My life has changed dramatically for the better, black depression has disappeared, a series of great synchronicities lead me to do some research into neuroscience & brain chemistry, ending up here at Project Meditation, amongst other things! I've also been able to release a load of old patterning which had been keeping me stuck for many years.
The key for me has been understanding that I can accept responsibility for problems that appear on the radar of my reality without assuming that they are my fault. This is an important distinction as it prevents me going into a guilt trip & trying to 'fix' everything. It has also re-inforced my abilty to connect with a higher consciousness.
Other friends & colleagues who I've explained the process to have also found it really helpful, so it's certainly worth investigating.
All good wishes, Lynn x
