Ho'oponopono

Gracias a la oscuridad supe lo que significaba agradecer con el corazón y mi estilo de vida cambió.

Estilo de vida con sentido, no superficial, con propósito, no como un velero que viene y va. Comencé a agradecer cada momento, muchas cosas dejaron de importarme y fui la mujer más feliz del mundo cuando me di cuenta de lo ligera que me sentía.

Esto ocurrió luego de que leí este libro, ese mismo guardado que me había enviado mi amiga, tan atesorado, incluso más que el ejemplar que luego compré en el aeropuerto de Panamá en 2022.

Fue muy sencillo de leer y me dió una perspectiva tan diferente de los diferentes procesos que pueden vivir las personas. Es increíble la forma como un: lo siento, un perdón, un gracias y un te quiero, pueden sanar a una persona.

Pero lo más grandioso de todo no es su poder para curar a quien lo escucha o lo recibe, si no el poder de curar a quien lo dice.

Llevar un estilo de vida donde la compasión contigo mismo y con los demás sea tu paz, es no necesitar nada del mundo exterior para ser feliz. Está es mi conclusión de lo que el Ho'oponopono puede hacer por mi vida.

Nunca había escrito sobre esto, no me había sentido preparada. Pero doy tantas gracias a los aborígenes hawaianos por preservar en su cultura está enseñanza ancestral que hace del mundo un lugar mejor, y a los autores de ese libro por recopilar toda esa sabiduría y compartirla con el mundo occidental de una manera tan certera.

A veces quiero vivir para enseñar a los demás a mi alrededor que se puede vivir la vida de manera diferente. Pero también entiendo que cada cual va en su proceso a su propio ritmo.

Otras veces he llegado a sentir que ya no tiene importancia lo que mis hijos puedan aprender en la escuela, si no, no más enseñarles una vida con ejemplo en la que puedan construir fortalezas personales para llevar una vida resiliente y feliz

No voy a negar que en este proceso aprendí muchas cosas más, el camino de resurgimiento me llevó por diferentes senderos, o mejor, por diferentes cauces de ríos que finalmente todos fueron a parar al mismo mar.

Es mi deseo que todos puedan a llevar una vida guiada por la compasión, una vida llena de hermosura hasta en la misma muerte.

Si yo pude cualquiera puede.

With time I understood that "cleansing" is done in three steps: we must start by opening our heart, then we must accept with love "what is" and finally, we must let go, stop being hooked, attached, and trust in "the divine" that is in us. *Luc Bodin - Jean Graciet - Nathalie Bodin

Back in 2019, an attachment with a PDF file arrived in my mail, it was The Big Book of Ho'oponopono that I received from a friend, the sweetest of my Durlis friends.

I thought it was a beautiful book just with the initial skimming but I must confess that in those days I did not read it, although I made sure to download it and save a copy on my PC and cell phone because at any moment I would "almost start reading it".

Then, around the year 2021, we got to this year still without reading it, in a WhatsApp group in which my mom included me I received a video of a song called "Lo Siento, Perdón, Gracias, Te amo" composed and performed by Jesús Hidalgo. From the first time I heard it I immediately associated it with The Big Book of Ho'oponopono.

I also liked the song a lot and I thought I was understanding it and that I was becoming very spiritual. But, then came that dark night of the soul that runs you over as if by a truck or rolls you over and makes you swallow sea water like the roughest waves there can be.

I thought I was more spiritual but it turns out that my ego was more haughty than ever, feeling more superior than the clouds and driving me to act with the utmost selfishness.

When all that fell, the damage was done, the despair was a tunnel with no way out and I knew what darkness was, I was able to recognize what light really was and where I was headed.

Thanks to the darkness I knew what it meant to be grateful with my heart and my lifestyle changed.

Lifestyle with meaning, not superficial, with purpose, not like a sailboat that comes and goes. I started to be grateful for every moment, many things stopped mattering to me and I was the happiest woman in the world when I realized how light I felt.

This happened after I read this book, that same saved one that my friend had sent me, so treasured, even more than the copy I later bought at the airport in Panama in 2022.

It was so easy to read and gave me such a different perspective on the different processes that people can go through. It's amazing how an I'm sorry, a sorry, a thank you and an I love you, can heal a person.

But the greatest thing of all is not its power to heal whoever hears or receives it, but the power to heal whoever says it.

To lead a lifestyle where compassion for yourself and others is your peace, is to need nothing from the outside world to be happy. This is my conclusion of what Ho'oponopono can do for my life.

I had never written about it before, I didn't feel ready. But I am so grateful to the aboriginal Hawaiians for preserving in their culture this ancient teaching that makes the world a better place, and to the authors of this book for compiling all this wisdom and sharing it with the western world in such an accurate way.

Sometimes I want to live to teach others around me that life can be lived differently. But I also understand that everyone goes through the process at their own pace.

At other times I have come to feel that it is no longer important what my children can learn in school, but rather to teach them a life by example in which they can build personal strengths to lead a resilient and happy life.

I will not deny that in this process I learned many more things, the path of resurgence took me through different paths, or better, through different riverbeds that finally all ended up in the same sea.

It is my wish that everyone can lead a life guided by compassion, a life full of beauty even in death itself.

If I could, anyone can.
