How To Heal Yourself

Do you have somebody who irritates you?

I know the feeling.

Life drives me a little crazy sometimes.  So much going on.  So many expectations.

How does healing take place amidst all of this?

Years ago, I read a book by Virginia Satir about family systems, being the psychology buff that I am.  The big take away with this book was learning that if you heal one person in a system, then the system changes.  It cannot stay the same.  This same concept applies anywhere at anytime.

From what I gather, the practice of the Hawaiian healing art of Ho’oponopono uses the same idea.  It is one strategy that you can do easily and restore a sense of equilibrium.  Think of a situation where you feel like things did not go right.  You don’t have to actually be in the same room with the person, you can imagine him or her in your mind.  Be in a state of compassion, as much as you can, and say these words to the other person.

Repeat this phrase until it really sinks in and you feel calmer and filled with love.

The point of this exercise is not to assign blame, but to release you from whatever hurt has happened.  You may not ever speak to the person again as sometimes that is for the best.  Regardless, you want to center yourself and heal the broken places within you.  This is an act of forgiveness towards yourself, bringing in more compassion, love, and understanding.

Another way to heal yourself, without using the Ho’oponopono technique, is to sit quietly and be with the feelings and sensations in your body.  Notice how you feel.  What feelings or thoughts arise?  Observe this for a few minutes and then repeat this mantra:

Sit quietly and watch how your body gently lets go.  You may notice sensations, hear words, or feel emotions as they rise up, move, and leave your body.  Do this daily and watch how your life changes.

I am no Ho’oponopono expert, but I can tell you that these practices work.  There are many ways that you can heal yourself.
