Gandhi said, “be the change you wish to see in the world. “ Becoming upright, and a light in the world with Ho’oponopono: 'The Hawaiian word ho‘oponopono comes from ho‘o ("to make") and pono ("right"). The repetition of the word pono means "doubly right" or being right with both self and others. In a nutshell, ho‘oponopono is a process by which we can forgive others to whom we are connected.' Matt James, Ph. D “Ho’oponopono consists of four phrases: “I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.” Why would you start out “I am sorry; Please forgive me” when you need to forgive someone else for a transgression against you? Ho’oponopono teachers call this practice “cleaning,” you clean yourself of your own negative feelings to erase from your memory or consciousness whatever negativity is not working for you. You are expressing the fact that you no longer wish to suffer from a current or past problem. In this kind of situation it is normal to want the other person to change. A normal response, yes, but impossible! The only person you can change is yourself. Furthermore, in a two-person situation you will have played some role in the relationship problem even if it’s just a victim. You will be using Ho’oponopono to obtain forgiveness for yourself: forgiveness for whatever is within you that helped to create the problem. The next two phrases are “Thank you. I love you.” The “you” could be yourself, the other person and/or the Divine. Conjuring up gratitude and love will help you anchor into a heart-based response. The mind by itself is never able to solve negativity and distress, whereas the heart is the repository of positive emotions. Feelings of self acceptance and self love are increased during this process. Ho’oponopono is also a mindfulness technique helping you to live in the present, not in the distressing past.” Betty Phillips, Ph.D, from Hello Ho’ oponpono FunZen Bakery Blog https://www.themiraclediamond.com/blog/2020/5/3/every-day-is-mothers-day monthly 0.5 2022-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1588550355008-JCIIX40BYB9BGD5117ZK/hello+kitty+tea+party.jpg Blog - Hellooo May, Every Day Is Mother's Day Kawaii* Tea Party: “The still water reflects the moon and a little star magic.” Funzen Saying (*kawaii means cute, adorable and darling in Japanese and refers to a feeling of love, care, and protectiveness) Koans Open Our Heart or Mind The point of the koan or problem (question) is to exhaust the analytic and egoic mind in order to reveal an insight from the more intuitive no-mind. A Cup of Tea Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen. Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor’s cup full, and then kept on pouring. The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. “It is overfull. No more will go in!” “Like this cup,” Nan-in said, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?” https://www.themiraclediamond.com/blog/2018/8/28/34v0p3j9krbyxsu0x431lj2xdhbvt5 monthly 0.5 2022-01-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1573337873306-PL53Y276CDDUQ2XZWIK1/zen%252Bmiracles%252Btea%252Bparty Blog - Manifesting Our Dreams and Zen Miracles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1642348770195-1LME100L0CAJMJQQAI5Z/don%27t+be+like+them+darling+14223.jpg Blog - Manifesting Our Dreams and Zen Miracles - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.themiraclediamond.com/blog/2018/4/15/testimonal-stories monthly 0.5 2019-11-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1523824200374-OMSPB8MUIVCE7ETKTR4P/IMG_5462.jpeg Blog - Testimonial Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1523822178623-DRGI0Z4GDO38Z9GGU9CC/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Testimonial Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1523836746855-HOT1HNKQ0YT7TRQHCBU0/IMG_4585.JPG Blog - Testimonial Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1523841672525-OFNYW0VNTSC5X2L5FZSO/IMG_4781.JPG Blog - Testimonial Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1523865196035-BTBY589UTERQ5MPFENDQ/image1+%281%29.jpeg Blog - Testimonial Stories https://www.themiraclediamond.com/blog/2017/8/14/using-my-hallelujah-voice monthly 0.5 2023-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1502737963669-6BDQ6RQOKR6NMO9JXBGA/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Using my Hallelujah Voice Leonard Cohen’s expression "sweet concern" reminds me of the Sanskrit word "Madhuvidya" which means sweet or honey knowledge, and the simple act of infusing spirituality, (love, light, oneness, and a little hope to take the next step) into our everyday lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1503035111603-352AVDZKPXVR6M65D358/9B05AB74-4AC1-4C43-88DB-05E33E9F79C3.jpg Blog - Using my Hallelujah Voice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58bba55d1b631b12e1483f95/1502738075078-L45CF2UE9MHZNFLQPXWO/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Using my Hallelujah Voice Grace and I loved the Pixies show, now, I'm a fan.
