“Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore

More and more children being born into the world have a different  vibrational energy  . They way they  think, their awareness and perceptions seem to be more advanced than our own, and they have the power and need to change the way we have been living . They have come to update our ideas, our ideals, and energetic imprint.

The question is are  we listening to them? Are we paying attention? Are we being present with them. Are we honouring their truth and authenticity?

Each child is born with a unique imprint. This imprint is the unique make-up of the child’s gifts, talents and energy. It points towards their life purpose. When we help  children express their gifts and talents, they align with their needs, and expand, grow and become peaceful.It is as if the children know why they are here. They know what they need, what they want. In helping them we need to be open to, and aligning our systems with, their their deeper sense of self and purpose—to their unique imprint. However if we  continue to impose our ideas on them and curtail their  creative potential we stay locked in unfulfilling and unhealthy patterns of behaviour and set them up to be frustrated and kicking out at the systems and they will struggle to fit. Their behaviour is telling us something, especially if it is  disruptive within school. What could that behaviour be telling us is the question to ask? If it is in the school is it the child or the school that needs to be changed? Schools have been operating in the same way since they started and it is time for them to change .

Children will continue to be labelled and struggle at an increasing rate. While it may be tempting to diagnose these behaviours as some sort of disorder, schools  must take  responsibility for what is happening. These behaviours are symptoms of a creative children  fighting for a voice in systems that is outdated. It would be sad if there  was no  resistance. Any attempt to continue to contain these creative , right brained children into an old, outdated and limited school system or social system will create frustration and behavioural symptoms.

The question is is it time to change the schools , since the children are changing constantly? Is it time to let them shine instead of dimming their light and creativity?  By doing so we may let ourselves start to move and change.

Is it time to let them take the lead, allow their creativity, trust them more, become more present and allow a system where they can expand and grow and not be squeezed  into boxes.  We need to  learn  from them. In doing so we can let them reach their  fullest potential so that they may lead us to a new way of being.

“Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” Einstein .

They children know this. Children matter!

"On the Children" by Khalil Gibran

On Children by Kahlil Gibran

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

                        Ho'oponopono Harmonising Circle is about the SELF

    Speaking from the heart

   Expanding the heart

    Listening to the heart

    Following the heart.

HHC helps to  create a vortex of energy where  communication, combined with being connected to others, in an amplified container can cause huge shifts and transformations . It's about healing the parts of you so you don't keep repeating the same story with different people. Sitting in  circle  allows you to benefit from the powerful amplifying effects of the vortex energy and amplified power of Ho'oponopono as originally it was practiced  in a circle.

HHC about sitting in the unknown until something new becomes known. It  is not about leading someone to an outcome or a realisation that you know about and they don't . It is a container that has the capacity to transform dissonant energy into resonant energy to bring clarity. HHC is about moving away from old patterns of resistance by clearing the memories that are holding you back via and moving to a new point of attraction - a vortex of creation.

HHC helps to create shifts, witness and  release stuck emotions, unwind painful emotions and feelings in a safe place. It's about  forgiving ourselves and others, about being emotional honest, speaking from the heart, changing belief systems, manifesting alignment and  becoming congruent to who we really . HHC helps us to be real with people, in a compassionate presence whilst connecting to source/inspiration. It is about erasing data and memories that are holding us back and stopping the memory replaying the same situation with different people. HHC helps us to  go back to zero where all possibilities exists.

In circle you sit an open-hearted field of possibilities without trying to fix anyone else. You  let go of judgements, take responsibility, tune into the amplified harmony created by the container of the circle. HHC helps to connect you to your core essence by  dropping the drama and  aligning to your heart. It helps you to understand that you  are the point of attraction and live a different story, and to stop feeding  your sabotages. In fact you practice letting go and not telling stories at all,.

The focus is on you since  everything is in your experience. The circles helps you to  practice staying present, congruent, connected and heart centered  heart. You feel a     deeper presence, connectedness and clarity  and  learn to take notes when your heart   speaks .You then take this practice out in the world. By choosing 'wants' rather than 'shoulds' you create a container to feel the heart and what is really going on and  deliberately move out of suffering to happiness. It's  about raising your vibrations state so that we are experiencing joy, more and more often. It's about becoming  'Peace of I' and  moving from chatter to focused creating.

What is pono in Hooponopono ?

In a nutshell , Ho'oponopono means  "To make right right" (Ho'o = to make, pono=right) and it is repeated since it makes it right for others as well. Therefore there is a feeling of congruency—that sense that everything feels right. That’s pono, that’s peace, that’s wonderful.

The mantra is simple

 I LOVE YOU, I AM SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, THANK  YOU.

The intention is to cleanse any blocks and resistances, known and unknown, to help us attune to our highest self. I love this prayer by Morrnah, a Hawaiian shaman.

MORRNAH'S PRAYER

Divine creator, father, mother, son as one...If I, my family, relatives and ancestors have offended you, your family, relatives and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds and actions from the beginning of our creation to the present, we ask your forgiveness...Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut all the negative memories, blocks, energies and vibrations, and transmute these unwanted energies into pure light....And it is done. 

Peace of I    Alweena 

Why forgive?

                      Why forgive? Because it frees you.

                                    To err is human; to forgive, divine.
                                                       -Alexander Pope

Fred Luskin, Ph.D., cofounder and director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Project, defines it as "…the moment to moment experience of peace and understanding that occurs when an injured party's suffering is reduced by the process of transforming a grievance they have held against an offending party."

. "Forgiveness is like a muscle: When you practice on smaller things, you gain the skill to deal with bigger ones, "Uniformly, people who are taught to forgive become less angry, more hopeful, less anxious, less stressed, and more confident," says Luskin

"We find that if people are able to make a move toward forgiving, if their heart is able to soften some and they feel somewhat less resentment, there's a substantial improvement in their emotional health," says Robert Enright, Ph.D., author of Forgiveness is a choice.

Furthermore , the benefits extend beyond the psychological., studies are uncovering evidence that practicing forgiveness (essentially, releasing those toxic feelings) can improve physical health in significant ways .

A study in the Journal of Behavioral Medicine found that the spikes in blood pressure we experience during stressful situations fell back to normal faster in people who were more forgiving of a betrayal. They had lower blood pressure too. Research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison showed that people holding a grudge had more heart problems than those who forgave. Even imagining the act of forgiving can help: When 71 subjects in a study were told to think about giving up a gripe, their cardiovascular and nervous system functioning improved; they also had less muscle tension in their faces.

Some things to ponder over.. 

• Forgiveness is not forgetting.
• Forgiveness is not pardoning, excusing, or stating that an offense will be treated as acceptable behaviour in the future.
• Forgiveness is a gift, primarily for you.
• There is a difference between forgiving from the mind and forgiving from the heart, forgiving from the heart is like the forgiveness of God.
• Forgiveness is a path to freedom. It frees one from leaking energy to the 'offender.'
• Forgiveness can break patterns that would otherwise interfere with future relationships.
• Forgiveness can be very hard and very easy that moment you choose to do it.
• Forgiveness need not require reconciliation.
• Forgiveness must start with forgives of the self, even if this means forgiving yourself for not being able to forgive.

Peace prayer for 2012 and a new era.

I came across this lovely prayer for peace just before going on my  seven day journey  on December 25th to be near the pyramids in Giza Egypt on the  plantetary alignment of the stars with the pyramids. Here is to new Peace and joy in the new year 2012.

Ho’oponopono from the Huna teachings is an amazing way  of  clearing  whatever memories are current in our subconscious mind that are running our lives. In working with Ho’ oponopono I am reminded that I  was created perfect but memories and programmes are running my world. It has  made me realise that the only way that I can get inspired by God is by first returning to the purity of my heart,through forgiveness and love and that the way to do this is to give God permission to solve my problems by not constantly engaging with my conscious mind and always trying to keep focused on my own Ho’oponopono cleaning and healing.Only God knows what is perfect for me and this I trust and surrender to.

Please forgive me; I love you, thank you.

Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Chapter 1

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place.
But it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter 4

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5

I walk down another street.

~ Portia Nelson ~
