Ho'oponopono Works!

Amazing Things are Always Happening in the Background

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:01:00 +0000

When ho'oponopono works, we really have no clue of what's going on. I am constantly amazed, time after time when awesome things happen. In fact I even describe this as getting a tingly feeling. You know the feeling when things just sort of happen "uncannily," almost too good to be true. Well that's ho'oponopono for you.

I thought I would talk about a few of my "amazing moments."

First, I got a job and relocated all during the time that other people were getting laid off. Amazing, right? Not only did I get a great job, but it's also in the city I wanted to live.

Okay my next example is my office. Before they built this new office for us we were all told it would be a certain concept. Well I was very iffy about the concept, but I let go and trusted in God. The big day arrives where we move into the new office....drum roll please...I have like the best seat in the place. Of course not including the big bosses, but out of all the average staff, I have one of the best seats. In fact I have people coming to me on a daily basis inquiring as to how I managed to score such a good seat.

My next example is my website I've been building. I've been working on it since February, and traffic is slowly trickling in, but not nearly quick enough for my liking. Anyway suddenly inspiration hits. I should add some interviews. Great idea, easy content and I'll get great links from high page ranking sites. A light bulb is blinking in my mind. So I write a letter and send it to about 25 successful authors. So far I've received 4 back with their answers. And one of the four is a popular author that I've read and enjoyed his books. Just thinking about it, I'm feeling tingly.

My last example is work again. We have offices all over the world, and everyone at work knows I like heat. I'd love to live in a warmer climate - a place without winter. To say the least my hubby is slowly working up to even considering the idea. Anyway I tell my boss who says she's going to try and arrange a possible 6 month switch with another co-worker. Now I'm not saying it's going to happen, but that's the beauty of ho'oponopono...you never know what's going to happen.

So I'm trying to keep this in mind (all the while cleaning), let go and trust in God. We are never perceiving a situation correctly because our minds can only process a fraction of what's really going on. So why are we going to trust our perception when we can trust in God?

Thank you,
I love you

The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:08:00 +0000

When talking to people, myself included, they are always on the hunt for the next best thing. If they're in a relationship, a job, a house, a car, the grass is always greener on the other side, meaning someone else has something better. The unfortunate thing, is a lot of people live their lives this way. They are always competing, striving for the best, and what they do have they are not grateful for.

Ho'oponopono is all about love, forgiveness and being grateful. Sometimes it's easy to get carried along by life, but it's important to always be looking back to see the power of ho'oponopono.

My spouse and I are guilty of thinking the grass is always greener on the other side as well. We moved into a nice house to rent, but weren't completely satisfied. We decided to start viewing other places to live. Well we only made it to one, and didn't even bother to look inside. After talking to the tenant, he told us everything that was wrong with the place: the basement tenant was loud and liked to party, the house wasn't very soundproof and you could hear the tenant downstairs conversation, the basement tenant had lots of friends over in the backyard all the time, etc.

So even though the place had all utilities included, had a large backyard, had a garage, and was probably bigger in the inside, we realized how fortunate we are. We live in a three bedroom, we have a nice backyard (fenced and private), and the woman who lives underneath us is extremely quiet. We suddenly realized how lucky we are to have found such a gem for a place to live.

My last example is yesterday. I was complaining to my spouse about how I wanted more money, more security, etc. And he got frustrated with me. He waved around at our new leather couches, our new plasma tv, our new workout equipment, and our new truck. And he demanded, What else do you want? You have everything you could ever want and than some.

It really took hearing him say that for me to actually look around and be grateful for how I've truly been blessed. It's been a hard couple of years, but with the power of ho'oponopono, cleaning, and being inspired, I've really been blessed.

So my point is this, sure you might not have the body you always wanted, or the guy, or the job, but be grateful for what you do have, and learn to live in the now. Not later, but now. Enjoy your life, be happy.

Thank you for showing me that I am indeed blessed. Thank you, I love you.

How to Clean

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:42:00 +0000

Hello, for all those people who do know ho’oponopono, you can disregard this blog post. This is for the numerous people who ask me things like, what cleaning is, and how to clean.

First, what is cleaning? Cleaning in ho’oponopono is taking a 100% responsibility for everything that is happening in your life. That means taking responsibility for anything that crosses your path in life, from your thoughts, to physical things, to people, to anything. If you’re around something that means you need to clean on it.

You clean by first taking 100% responsibility for the memory. So you mentally say I am sorry for whatever I’m doing inside my mind that is causing this problem x to happen. Please erase it and transmute me back to zero. I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I’m sorry.

Or if you don’t have a specific problem, but what to clean, than you can repeat the four phrases, I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you. Or do what feels right for you. If you want to just repeat one of the phrases, than do that.

For me, I find if I am looking for results, I need to repeat the cleaning mantra over and over again. Sometimes I need to walk away and try to let go of any expectations.

A few times I have felt a shift in energy, and I can only explain this as a feeling of peace coming over me. I have included my most recent example:

The other day my spouse and I were fighting and in the middle of the fight I remembered to clean. So here I am angry saying I’m sorry, please forgive me, I’m sorry, suddenly I felt this peacefulness come over me and I got the urge to go apologize. And for me, if you know me, I never apologize. We pretend nothing happened and get on with our lives. But this time I felt like I needed to apologize for saying mean stuff, and the other strange thing was I was at peace. The anger I felt like a few moments early, had been replaced with this peaceful calm.

I know you want more detail, but I can’t really explain it any better. Mabel Katz and Dr. Hew Len have both said to go with your heart. Go with what feels right for you. Clean how you feel you should, or you’re inspired. What works for me, might not work for you. So take my information as a guideline and go from there.

For more information on cleaning tools, please see the link on the top left of my blog.

Thank you for helping me clean

At Peace...mostly.

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:20:00 +0000

Sorry I haven’t written in a long time, life is just keeping me extremely busy. Also thank you to everyone who has told me about Mabel Katz’s new forum. As soon as I get some time, I will check it out.

For now, busy working, unpacking, and helping out family. Also busy practicing ho’oponopono: “I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you.”

I have also taken up reading Zero Limits again, by Joe Vitale. I find the second time around that I am understanding things better.

I have also received my first cheque from an affiliate sale, so yeah. I also realize that I need to clean on my websites, and on a lot of feelings and memories in my life. Whenever I now have a crisis, usually my first response is to get back to zero by cleaning. Sometimes I still come from anger, but it’s more often that I step aside and take responsibility.

An example, in my new job I wasn't understanding something. So I cleaned on this:

I’m sorry for whatever is going on inside me that is causing these memories, please release them and transmit me back to zero. I’m sorry, I love you, please forgive me, thank you…

Or sometimes I would just repeat, “I love you, I love you,” over and over in my head, and slowly the dust would clear and I would start to understand whatever had previously frustrated me.

I also find that when bad things happen, they are really opportunities hidden within. Like the flood that wrecked my personal property, was upsetting and frustrating, but without it, I wouldn’t have the new bed set I have, or the various other new items.

Also ho’oponopono really does help you connect with life. For my new job, I have to catch the elevator, and often when I press the button, the elevator I am standing in front of, opens (there are six, so any six could open).

Another example; I’ve wanted an elliptical machine for awhile. But the price has been $400 to $600. Well on Sunday we were at a store, and we saw one on sale for $140. I immediately grabbed a sales guy who told me they were completely sold out, but he would sell me the floor model. He said he just built it the day before. So not only did I get the machine that I’ve wanted for awhile, but it was already put together for me!

When your life is humming along, or seems too amazing, like everything is connecting…that is really ho’oponopono working in the background.

So till next time

I love you

Good things continue to happen as long as I remember to clean

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:34:00 +0000

Well I am all moved in. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks, and I admit I haven’t always been able to keep my cool.

Our house that we are renting is in a great area, our neighbors are great, we couldn’t have asked for a better location. Yet on the night we arrived, we were a little upset as the house was dirty. Obviously, even though it was empty for over three weeks, the landlords decided they didn’t need to clean it. On top of that, the grass in the yard was up to our knees.

At first I was angry, but I than realized that it’s something inside me that isn’t clear that is causing all these problems. So instead of being angry, I called the landlords and told them I was hiring a cleaning company. Too bad I can’t do that for my mind…:)

I’ve started my new job, and it seems okay. I’m new at it, so not feeling too secure, until I get a better feel for it, than I can judge it more appropriately. But the people are really nice and I’m trying to clean all the time. I notice now when I judge someone I usually start to feel guilty and start cleaning on the fact that I just judged the person.

On the money side, it seems like almost everyday I am getting a cheque in the mail about something. It’s nice. Plus when you get a cheque you weren’t expecting, like an affiliate cheque, it’s a bonus.

I also purchased the new Joe Vitale DVD on Zero Limits. I’m going to be honest, I wasn’t that impressed with it. I thought it would be more detailed with the ho’oponopono information, but he just repeats what he tells you in Zero Limits his book. Actually the book is way more detailed and half the money. Plus the sound quality on the dvd wasn’t that great either. People are either talking really loud, or low, so you always have to adjust the sound.

The neat thing about the dvd is it has a few meditations, or cleanings on it, that seem good. I’ve only made it through one of them, but it’s pretty relaxing. I would say this dvd is good for anyone who doesn’t want to read Zero Limits and wants a summary. I guess it’s more of an introductory cd to ho’oponopono.

Well that’s my update. I’m trying to remember to always be cleaning, to check my anger and come from love.

Thank you as always for all the comments.

I love you

Things are flowing!

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:09:00 +0000

Hi
Well I'm in a great mood. It's my last week of work at my current job, than I have a week off to move and start my new career. I'm a lot happier it's closer to my line of work. My days of working in the bush are over!

But again, looking back really shows me the power of ho'oponopono. For example when I first started working here, there were a lot of people I didn't get a long with...now there are none. I'm actually going to miss my coworkers.

I'm also staying with my in laws till we move, and normally this would take a lot for me to be at peace, but I am constantly cleaning and learning that it's not real...and things are going better because of it.

I'm also constantly amazed how life turns out. It's usually when you fight something tooth and nail, that life (or God) forces it on you anyway. You might as well stop fighting and just accept it.

Also I've been getting a lot of bills lately for stuff that keeps coming up. So I've been cleaning on them, and some how, some way, the money has been flowing in.

More and more I find myself at peace, even in the most tense circumstances. Whereas before I would get angry and upset by things, now I am more accepting and just move on. Whatever God has planned for me, I am willing to accept.

I think it's important that we all work on cleaning, I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, and not on judging. I admit, easier said than done, but if we all clean, that's a lot of memories gone!

On a side note I've ordered the new Joe Vitale Zero Limits dvd with Dr. Hew Len, I can't wait to see it. It's a bit pricey, but seeing as I can't meet them in person, it's the next best thing.

So for now, I'm living in the now, and whenever I have idle chatter in my mind, it's time to clean.

I love you!

P.S. I might not update this blog for a bit as I'll be in transit, but rest assured, I will be back.

Always come from love

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 17:23:00 +0000

As always I welcome any kind of feedback. Parvez has included a nice little poem that I felt I should include on the blog. Remember it’s important to always come from love and not fear. When we judge and attack people we are coming from fear, but we should always be coming from love.

Thank you for the great reminder that I am not a victim, that I create my reality, thank you for reminding me to come from love.

I love you

Hello Tracy
AM so glad U have sent out another blog post too.
What I like is your constant reminder to us to 'keep cleaning', even when things are going well.

Am sharing this little article someone sent me. I see the Hopo philosophy reflected here too... ultimately I think all spiritual journeys are about seeking inner peace and harmony which then gets extended into our outer worlds too.

Joy and Peace to U
Peace Begins with Me (I just love this affirmation/declaration)

CONQUERING THE EGO - A process recommended by Michael Berg, the Kabbalist :)

Instead of seeking revenge, we offer Forgiveness.
Instead of blaming, we become accountable.
Instead of playing the victim, we hold ourselves responsible.
Instead of complaining, we start appreciating.
Instead of looking for the negative in a situation, we find the positive.
Instead of judging others, we look for the good in them.
Instead of gossiping, bad-mouthing others, we change the subject, or simply walk away.
Instead of listing to reasons why life is so unfair, we start counting our blessings.
Instead of calculating how something will benefit us, we figure out away to ensure that the OTHER party also benefits.
Instead of yelling, we speak quietly.
Instead of cursing, we compliment.
Instead of taking, we give.
Instead of worrying, we awaken certainty and take charge.
Instead of fearing, we conjure up courage.
Instead of merely coping with a problem, we seek to cure it.
Instead of reacting to external situations, we resist and become proactive.

More at peace

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 18:46:00 +0000

Hi, as always thanks for reading my blogs. Also I want to thank everyone for their comments and emails. It’s these things that help inspire me, and keep me going on the days were I am weighted down by memories.

I am doing much better, I’ve been cleaning regularly, and managed to be at peace. This week has been extremely chaotic, but I’ve been mostly at peace.

As I said, our place flooded. So last week we had to run around, get prices for how much stuff was damaged etc. This week every day we’ve had contractors, and crew at our place till around 7pm trying to get the place repaired. And every morning I've had to wake up early regardless of how late I've gone to bed, and go to work.

We are moving out this weekend to stay with family until we relocate down south to my new job. So things are slowly falling into place. Whenever I am worried about something, I clean on it, and as always it gets better. I am constantly amazed at the power of ho’oponopono.

One morning I wasn’t feeling well (I have been battling a cold for the last week and a half), and I knew I had to go to work. I’d already missed a lot with the flood. So lying in bed, I just kept repeating:

Whatever is inside my mind that is making me feel bad, please forgive me. I love you, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…

I repeated this over and over for at least half an hour. I didn’t feel instantly better, but as time went on, I did feel better and better.

So even when you don’t think it’s working, it is! It’s just working on something that you might not be obvious to you, but it is working.

I am very grateful that I have found ho’oponopono as I can’t imagine how my life would be without it. The power to take 100% responsibility for yourself is just wonderful. Whenever something bad happens, or something good happens, clean on it. If I have an appointment or meeting that I am nervous about, I clean on it, and it always comes out better than I would have dreamed.

Of course it’s important to never have expectations, and to just let go. What’s the worse that could happen if you just let go?

So for everyone who has been wishing me the best, and cleaning with me, and encouraging me to keep on blogging, – thank you! I love you!

Stuck in Memories

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 13:29:00 +0000

Hi,
I've been avoiding writing a post for awhile. At first lots of great things were happening to me. But somehow along the way I forgot to clean, and quickly things turned bad.

I know I was stuck in memory. So let me get you caught up:

My work is downsizing every week, so I was offered another job down south. I took it, and got the job. I will be relocating in the fall for my new job. I was really happy about this, and spent a lot of time cleaning, to make sure nothing happened with this new position.
I got a few weeks vacation so I visited my sister and had a great time. Than I spent the last week apartment hunting for the move. Everything went well. It was around this time that I stopped cleaning.
We returned home and a couple of nights later, I got sick (cold), and our apartment flooded.

After all this happened, I still didn't clean, and soon my spouse and I were bickering over the smallest things. I went to work, but my head wasn't right, so I kind of left that week to go home and deal with the flood.

Now there are a few ways to look at this, the first could be how I was looking at it originally; being depressed, and taking my anger and blame out on everyone....or I could look for the silver lining which is always there.

I've decided to look for the silver lining. Sure we may have lost a lot of stuff in the flood, but that is an opportunity to downsize and buy only what is really needed. Also, since taking time off from work, I've rested my body and am getting over my cold. My spouse and I are learning to keep our tempers in check and to come from love.

I'm not saying life is easy, but whenever you've hit a rocky patch, chances are you've forgotten to constantly be cleaning. I've been practicing ho'oponopono for two years now and when things are good, that's when I forget. And it's amazing how quickly you get stuck in memories when you don't clean.

I'm sorry for whatever is inside me that is causing this depression, anger, and anxiety. Please erase it and transmute me back to zero. I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you.

Remember you are only a victim if you stop cleaning and jump back onto life's roller coaster. I am now going to take charge and clean.

I love you

Thank you!
T

Always trying to be grateful...

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 00:32:00 +0000

Looking back on my life I see that I have been blessed. And it's this attitude that I need to always be in.

Lately I've been trying to be more grateful. Grateful that I have a job, grateful that I may get a transfer, grateful that things always seem to work out.

I've been worrying a lot about money, more than usual. I guess it's the economic times. I've also been busy cleaning. I've almost gotten it to the point where my mind is quiet and than begins to clean. Sometimes I get stuck in memories, or self pity, but most of the time, I'm remembering to clean.

Okay back to money. So I've been avoiding doing my tax return because I've been worried that I'd owe money. Well finally I did, and turns out I'll get a nice return. Found money right when I needed it.

But before I did my tax return, I let go. I let go of what my expectations were. Only when I am able to do this, do things happen. If you can't let go, you are stuck in memory and you need to clean on that.

Times are tough, only if you make them tough. Remember to clean and it's amazing what happens in your life.

I love you, I'm sorry!

Remembering to Look Back

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 22:13:00 +0000

Hi,

Sorry I haven't written in awhile, I've just been really busy on life's roller coaster.

Work is tense, we are going through lay-offs again. I am not concerned, I just clean and try to be at peace.

My life has been really blessed lately, and when I look back, that's when it really jumps out at me. You see I've been reading A Course in Miracles , and it has really been hitting home. It follows closely with ho'oponopono. Reading this has been my reminder to clean and come from love instead of anger.

Here is a summary on what's been happening in my life:

Feb (most people I was hired with were laid-off), I was one of the lucky ones to still have my job.

Mar (again people were laid off), again I remained. But I had a bunch of bosses who I did not get a long with.

Apr - people just started disappearing. The bosses I didn't get a long with were transferred to different departments.

May - I got a coworker with attitude, I cleaned on this, and I was able to forgive and show love. She is actually a very nice woman who has a lot of insecurities.

June - the cheap place we were supposed to move into fell through. We were able to find a small house to rent in two days. Also more lay-offs are happening, but I was just offered a job in a different city.

So my point for this post is to look back on the last six months and realize that you've been extremely lucky. I've survived at least three different lay-offs with only a year in the company. It's easy for me to be negative and be upset by the fact that I may have to move again, but maybe this was God's purpose. Who am I to question that? So I continue to clean and try to remember to come from love.

Always letting go and trying to be at peace.

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Tue, 26 May 2009 16:15:00 +0000

Hi

Lately I've kind of been standing back and watching my life. I find myself getting involved less and less, and am often able to stand back and be at peace.

One example, is the new apartment we were moving in, was cheap, but not nice. Anyway turns out the landlord went back on his word, so we backed out. My spouse stressed for a week about getting first and last months rent back, but I was at peace and when I remembered, I cleaned. Well sure enough we got a cheque and got our rent back.

Another example is once we backed out of the apartment deal, we had to find another in less than two weeks. Well again my spouse was stressing out, but I was at peace and just cleaned. I tried not to listen to his negativity, and whenever I could remember I cleaned. Turned out, within a day or two we found a tiny one and a half bedroom that we can rent ourselves. We don't have to share the yard, or deal with any landlords that go back on their word.

Now these are two highly stressful events, that I was able to step back from, remain at peace and just clean when I remembered. I am not saying I am perfect, at least a few times a day I get all frazzled over some event, but when I remember, I check myself and clean.

My current company I am working for, has relocated us, and may be laying off again. Instead of stressing, I am letting go, and cleaning. I do have a job interview, but I am trying hard to have no expectations, after all it's God who is watching out for me, not me.

Keep in mind when times are tough, don't let it get you down. Try to remember it's all inside you and you have the power to erase these memories not just from yourself, but from the world.

I love you!
T

When times are tough - clean, clean, clean!

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:49:00 +0000

Hi,
Well like everyone else in the planet I've been watching the news and being swept away by memories. Every now and than though I manage to snap out of it and remember to clean.

So lately I've been holding my breath to see if I'm going to get laid off from my company; I'm one of the last 40 people in a building that use to house 250+. Recently there was news of more lay offs, so I've been waiting to see what'll happen. I've been trying to not have expectations and to keep cleaning.

Anyway, I've been thinking about moving back down south or trying to decide to stay and fight and try to make it work here. To be honest I didn't really want to stay here. Well things at work are getting better, and there might not be layoffs, or if there are, they will be temporary. I also have managed to find a super cheap apartment when housing here isn't cheap.

I know that this is ho'oponopono working in the background. Opportunities are presented, or people come forward who have these connections to help you out. The guy we are renting our yard from is actually the one who showed us the apartment. While it has a lot of work to do to it, it's cheaper than where we currently are renting, and it's larger with a backyard. And the backyard has no neighbours behind it, just a creek. Currently we live in a tiny one bedroom with a balcony, so now we'll be a 3 bedroom and with a yard. My dog is going to be happy. Plus it's in a nicer neighbourhood, and super close to the shopping mall.

The other wonderful thing is, I haven't been getting a long with my new co-worker. Well I've been cleaning, randomly and now we are getting a long. What's more, I couldn't find boxes anywhere, and I mentioned it to her, and not only did she help me find boxes, she also got me packing tape, and a connection if I need more of them.

So my point is this, your life might seem rocky and hectic on the surface, but as long as you are cleaning, who knows what's going on underneath. So when times are tough, get busy cleaning.

I love you,
Thank you!

Try to always be inspired

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 16:29:00 +0000

Hi

Well life has taken me on it's roller coaster ride. But I am trying to always be cleaning and remember that life is what I make of it. Life is what my mind thinks of, so I should always be cleaning.

I subscribe to Joe's email, and he usually sends them out at least a couple of times a week. His emails are sometimes a reminder to me to let go and trust in God. So today, I was getting upset about something at work, even though it's all in my mind...and I'm the one causing it, when I got his email, and just let go.

So try to have a source of inspiration, or something positive to help you remember to clean and let go. Because in our "fake world" it's easy to get caught up in the day to day destruction and to not be cleaning. Do what you can to remember that perception is creating your life, and work on cleaning and changing it.

Here is a link to Joe Vitale's blog.

Keep in mind that we're not victims, we're not poor, we are perfect and are full of love. Our mind is what shapes are life, don't leave it idle, direct it to clean.

Thank you for all the lovely comments, you also help inspire me.

I love you

Just Love and Let Go

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:37:00 +0000

Hi,

Well it's finally hit me. I've had these expectations about certain things. Yet at the same time I didn't want to admit it to myself. I now realize that I have these fears inside, that hold me back. A lot of fears...I guess you could call them memories.

Anyway I realize that I just need to come from love and let go. My other half has been in my life a long time, and I recently realized that I've been holding back towards him. I need to let go. Life is short, and should be lived in the moment and you should be happy.

You know those moments when everything feels so right, those are the moments we should live in. Not the moments where we are full of fear, tension, or stress. Life isn't just about money, or having a job, it's about love. Love and letting go and trusting in God to show you the way.

So I know I've been an extremely slow learner, but I'm going to try and let go and come from love. I'm going to try to not judge and look for the negative in things. I'm going to come from love and remember to be at peace.

And when things get tense or scary, I'm going to try to remember to let go and trust in God.

I love you

More Blessings in a time of Chaos

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 12:21:00 +0000

Hi
Sorry I haven't written in awhile, seems I'm always apologizing lately.

Life has taken me through some ups and downs. But I guess it's more accurate to say I was stuck in memories.

Chaos is all around me, everyone that I know at work, who had a similar position to me, has been laid off. I'm the last one standing.

I was a little sad and upset by this, and my spouse told me to look at it like a blessing. I still have a job, I am still making money, I should be grateful. So I'm trying hard to look at things as opportunities.

My second blessing was getting a line of credit to pay off my credit card bills. The interest has just been killing me. All the payments I've made haven't made a dent because of the high interest rate. In December I applied for a line of credit and got denied. So I've been busy cleaning, not specifically just generally.

Well a couple of weeks ago, I thought I would try again, because I need to break the cycle and like Bob Proctor in the Secret said, "stop thinking about your debt." So that's what I needed to do.

I applied for a line of credit and this time I got approved and than some. To say the least I have now paid off my credit cards, and now have a manageable payment to make every month.

Well now that I am the last person in my department, I guess I have job security, because there is no one left to do my job.

Remember in times of need and chaos, to really look around, what might seem bad, could really be a blessing in disguise. Remember to always be cleaning and to not get stuck.

I love you

Silver linings all around!

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 21:48:00 +0000

Like everyone on the planet, I've been going through hard times. Money is scarce, I'm worried about losing my job...etc.

The other day in the mail I got a letter saying I could get $120 in groceries. Things have been tight lately, and I haven't gone grocery shopping in a few weeks. The letter was like a blessing in disguise. Not only did I get $120 in groceries, but I had collected several coupons and for a bill of $140, I only paid $25.00. Not bad!

I've also been working on a pet project, and today I noticed it's starting to be successful. More traffic is coming to the site, and I've actually made a few sales with amazon. I'm stoked.

So here is my point, things might seem bleak, but keep cleaning. There is a silver lining just around the corner coming for you. And sometimes you just need to stop and turn around to see it.

I love you, I'm sorry, thank you.

Hooponopono and action

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 01:05:00 +0000

Hi,
I've been busy taking action, so my blogs aren't going to be updated as often for a while.

When you feel that rush, and your heart is pounding, or you feel tingly, that is inspiration hitting you. You need to let go, take a chance and go for it.

A couple of weeks ago I was struck by inspiration, and I went for it. Since then, things have slowly been improving and I have hope.

Work is tense right now, but I am busy cleaning on it, and trying not to fall into memories. I am glad I have my inspiration project to distract me and give me hope. I need to remember not to have expectations though and to always be cleaning.

The way the market is, we all need to clean. We need to clean and still take action when we feel inspired. Remember no matter what the news says, or people say, it's all inside our head. We need to own up, say you're sorry and clean, clean, clean.

So I have been busy cleaning my company as they seem to be in a really bad memory. Of course if I do end up lay-off, then I know that's my path. And when one door closes...

another opens! So I'm not worried. I am going to trust and God, and act on inspiration.

Remember, peace begins with you!

Feeling Blessed

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 16:16:00 +0000

Hi,
Sorry I haven't written in a long time, I've been stuck in memories or ego. Whichever way you prefer.

At work it's been hectic because they are talking about layoffs. And I've bought into the thinking. It's only taken now, a few days away from work, for me to realize that it's memories replaying over and over and I need to take action and start erasing them, or I will never be free from them.

I've thought over my life for a bit, and I've decided that I'm on a path to passive income. I've started taking action and so far things are changing in my life bit by bit.

I'm feeling blessed because my actions are turning into results. My passive income is slowly starting to trickle in. I hope one day to be able to quit my full time day job and travel and write and do other things I enjoy. It's our thinking that leads us to believe that we have to work hard for money, or work the 9-5 trap. I hope to break this molding.

I apologize for not writing sooner, but just like you I fall into believing this world is real and all the memories that go with it. Lately I have been remembering to clean, and I am learning to be satisfied with what I have and to live in the moment.

I will try hard not to have expectations (this is the hardest part for me), and I'll let you know what else happens in my life. Remember to always be cleaning and don't fall into the trap of believing what the tv and society says.

I love you

P.S. Happy Valentine's day. Remember the world is all about love, whether romantic, sibling, or family, love is all we need.

Inspired - Take Action

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 17:19:00 +0000

Hi,
On Thursday I got an email that inspired me to take action. I'm sure you've all seen similar emails, you know the spam ones that say "Work from home." Well normally I don't even click on the link to read the sales page, but for some reason I did this time.

The sales page was interesting, but before I really read anything I always scroll to the bottom to see the costs, lo and behold it was only $14.00.

Instantly I purchased the product. I have only implemented it since yesterday, but have had instant success. Now I'm not writing this post to sell the product to you, I don't need to because I am having success off google adsense. (Since writing this blog, I've only made $100, and it took me all year to do), But with my new website that I purchased I've already made almost $4.00 in two days. Now I don't know how successful you are, but for me this is amazing.

My point is this, when inspiration hits, don't hesitate, act. God gives us plenty of opportunities, but if we don't act on them how are we expecting our lives to change? I have been trying to make money online now for almost two years, so for me I am happy.

If you are unsure of whether you need to act or not, clean on this, and you should have some feeling on what you should do. I admit lots of times I take action, and nothing amazing happens. But at least I am willing to take a chance and take action, if I wasn't willing to take risks, and lose a bit of money, I wouldn't have the great opportunities I've had so far.

On another positive note, I may be getting a raise at my job, and a bonus. Due to the market condition I thought the bonus was out, so I let it go and have just been cleaning and trying to do a good job at work. My director told me, chances are we will be getting a bonus, so wohoo! Found money, gotta love it. I owe it to letting go of my money worries and cleaning on money, and knowing that money is only as important as I think it is.

I hope this has helped.

Peace begins with me

When you least expect it...blessings all around!

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 17:02:00 +0000

Hi,
Since I've taken up reading, A Course in Miracles, it's helped me realize that this world isn't real. And our part is to practice forgiveness and try to come from love instead of anger or fear. Very similar to ho'oponopono which states we should be cleaning and not judging. By cleaning we are forgiving bad memories and releasing them so we can be at zero, or at peace like ACIM teaches.

Anyway I'm back to work, and while I do accounting I also listen to Joe Vitale's "I love you, I'm sorry, thank you," audio on repeat. This helps my mind clean even though my thoughts are elsewhere.

For the past month my company has owed me expenses for travelling at Christmas to help out, and over time. Money has been extremely tight for me. But all this week, I've been trying to remember that money isn't real. I give money the power it has, and I can also take that power away by realizing money doesn't mean anything.

This past week anytime I have thoughts or feel upset, I've been trying to remember it's not real and it doesn't mean anything. I am the one who gives money meaning. So even though my credit cards are maxed, and I have no money in the bank, I am responsible for this. So I have been busy cleaning and just letting go and trusting God because he provides for everything.

Well this morning I came in to work, to find an email that states my expenses will be paid tomorrow, and my overtime will be paid on Friday.

I know that money isn't real and I shouldn't put the value in it that I do, but I am grateful that it's coming my way. So thank you, thank you, thank you!

Peace begins with me

Opportunity Knocks!

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 17:58:00 +0000

Hi,

I just came back from a week's vacation. Nine days without thinking about work, it was nice. I spent the whole time cleaning, when I remembered and just living in the "now" and being happy.

I have been very blessed so far in 2009. Money is tight (but that is just a negative memory, and I am giving it power by speaking about it), but I decided to act like I am made of money. After all the universe is space which can be developed into anything.

I worked hard over Christmas, and in appreciation my boss gave me four prime Ottawa Senator tickets. We were in the 100s, which to say the very least was close enough to hear the players grunting. I have been to NHL games before, but have never sat as close as I did. Plus the Senators being the underdog, ended up beating the Washington Capitals 3 -2, so it was a great game.

I am pretty blessed and sometimes it takes a few months, or so for me to realize how lucky I am. Today I was talking to my landlord, and it made me realize how "magical" my life has been lately.

Since moving to this northern community, the windows in our apartment leak, and all kinds of cold air come in. On really cold days, you can't sleep at night because the wind is howling. While we were away, they came and took out the old windows and gave us new, sealed ones. Not only did we not have to deal with the inconvenience, but when we got back our apartment was nice and warm.

Also, while I was talking to him, he mentioned that him and his wife had resigned and the company is looking for new landlords...strange that he mentioned this. What was even stranger is normally he doesn't even talk to me.

Now I am not sure if he mentioned the job because I should apply...as sometimes it's hard to understand whether you should act on things or not...as it would be a lot less money than a currently make. But on the plus side, it would give me lots of time to research and write, which is what I truly want to do in life.

So my point is this, every day you are presented with opportunities, it's up to you to clean and decide when you are going to act on these events. If you are afraid to act, how are you expecting your life to change.

Also I wanted to thank everyone for their comments as always, but if your comment is just spam, it will not get posted.

Peace begins with me!

My new blog

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 15:24:00 +0000

Hi,
I am grateful and happy that I have discovered ho'oponopono. It has been a blessing. But I also want to explore God, and his mysteries. I have been inspired to create another blog which can be found at The Road to God, so if you are like me and feel like something is missing, please check out this blog.

Otherwise I am practicing ho'oponopono as usual. This coming week I have a week off and I am travelling to Ottawa to watch the Senators game. I ended up getting free tickets from work, and they are really good seats.

My life is blessed more and more each day, and I know I owe this to God and just cleaning all the time.

So thank you for reading and following my path, but if you're like me and you want something else, check out my other blog. I will continue to update this one as well, since the two go hand and hand.

Thank you and I hope 2009 is a great year for everyone.

Letting go of Expectations...again

noreply@blogger.com (T) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 00:24:00 +0000

Hi,
Well this past week I have been busy trying not to have expectations. Easier said than done. Work should be something you love doing, something you are passionate about. I like what I do, I just don't like where I work. So I am trying to have no expectations, with the other job I applied for, but it's hard. The place I would enjoy working is more south, and professional. I work currently in an industrial sector, and the culture is quite different. I would welcome a professional business atmosphere.

I keep picturing what my new life would be like, and if I would be happy. Perhaps I'm the kind of person where the grass is always greener on the other side...I don't know. I thought moving here would have made me happy...but now I want to move away. I need to let go and trust in God that he'll show me the way.

I have been spending my days cleaning, listening to "I love you" chant by Joe Vitale. I am not trying to sell it to you, but I think listening to some kind of mantra to help you remember to clean is a great tool. Sometimes I use it before I go to sleep, so hopefully I can do what Dr. Hew Len say, and get our minds trained to clean when we are not.

As always I love hearing feedback from people. Good, or bad, how ho'oponopono has changed you, what you do that works...anything.

Also you should always be learning and growing, so read everything you can on ho'oponopono, and use what your heart says works.

Peace begins with me,
T
