#4 You Cleared Your Clutter, What About Theirs? A Ho-oponopono prayer

Today I wanted to share with you why I use Ho-oponopono prayer with my Intuitive Feng Shui, especially when it involves what "others" are doing, i.e. others' "clutter".

The prayer:
I Love you, Thank You. Thank you for showing me where I am not at peace and where peace needs to enter our home. I am asking now for all old beliefs, patterns and thought forms holding this clutter in our lives to be erased back to love and light now. So be it. (you can use this in any situation, not just clutter!)

This prayer is based on the premise that everything you are looking at is You (not "them"). We are all one, so actually, on one level, there is no "them". It is not based on blame or shame, but the recognition that our "personality self" is playing some part in this adventure and helping to create what is at hand.

For example, a victim needs a perpetrator, otherwise they can not remain a victim.......and vice versa...........and so on.

In the book, Zero Limits, by Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len, they speak of a period of time when Dr. Hew Len was working for the state of Hawaii as a psychologist. Dr. Hew Len told us about this story in a workshop that I attended.

Dr. Hew Len was assigned to a mental ward for the criminally insane. Patients were in leg irons and chains. He stated that it was the type of place you walked with your back against the wall to keep from being attacked. Dr. Hew Len never had one "counseling" session with any of these patients. He simply read their charts and said the prayer. If I remember correctly, he said he shared the technique with a few of the nurses. He did this for three years. Things gradually improved and at the end of three years there were only two men who had not improved. Everyone else was well enough to go to a better surrounding. They sent the two men to another facility and shut down the ward.

There was also a woman in our class who had attended the class for the first time the year before. At the time she was in a 20 year marriage that was terrible. She had finally decided to get a divorce because he was verbally abusive, drank and was unkind. After taking the class she decided to give the prayer a try before she filed for divorce. She had come back to the 2nd class to tell us that one year later she felt like she was married to a different man. She had used the prayer in every situation that was upsetting her about her marriage for the past year. Her husband changed completely, without going to workshops, counseling or doing anything to "change his life". She was now enjoying a wonderful marriage.

The power of this prayer has been demonstrated to me many times, so I include it now in my Intuitive Feng Shui. This is a prayer of love, understanding and taking responsibility for the world we are creating.

I hope that sharing this prayer with you helps you to expand your circle of love and create harmony in your home.

Clearing clutter requires practical steps but most of us know what those are. I feel if we clear the "energy" of clutter first, it is easier to take the practical steps. This series has been about creating a new energy so that your practical steps will bring better, more long lasting results.

I wish you beauty and harmony in your home. Thanks so much for taking the time to read these posts.

Much love, Marilyn
