HO'OPONO'PONO

HO'OPONO'PONO

When I was training in ABA, I was instructed on various "camps", & asked which one I wanted to lean towards. (In contrast, I was also told I was only allowed to observe & measure, impeccably, until I'd earned a doctorate. Difference between behavioral work product, & nature of thinking.)

I am in the camp that favors science, concrete results, consistency, compassion.

ABA to me was simple. I'd read the National Autism Research Report initiated by Bill Clinton in 2004. Vaccines are good for you, failing to be the problem. The report named "thimerasol", as culprit, for sensitive individuals, re: MMR. There were thimerasol-free vaccines back then & I'd assume even more options now. Vaccines support a nation's health, & prevent plagues. They create safety, which has the down-stream effect, of promoting cultural & technological advancement. I'm pro-vaccine, pro-health, prosocial.

There is always a safe way to do something - sometimes it just costs more. (More time, money, education, resources.... Which is where we get into deeper aspects of morals, ethics, human compassion, free-will.)

People respond to us, based on how WE show up. How present we are; our energy.
Children behave, according to the acronym SEAT. (Satiation, Escape, Attention, Tangible.)
Adults can be different, as in motives more complex.
Yet, similar too, as in: hungry, thirsty, tired, grumpy, pain....
The general philosophy for higher levels of applied results, is to both BE (live/embody) and also CREATE, consistency & health, in all areas: ALL NEEDS MET.

Ho'opono'pono, is just one "prayer", or "meditation", that is a hybrid approach. People can use this for their "spiritual" practice, or even if they're an atheist. Doesn't matter. Dr. Deepak Chopra attests, that certain mantra's are spiritual super-highways, when they're well "worn" (i.e. practiced) throughout eras by masses (that which is well chanted, having more profound effects).

The history of Ho'opono'pono is, acceptance, reconciliation, renewal. It was used to heal the physical illness, of a rejected colony. https://lnkd.in/eZCRtweB

(I fail to relate to rejection. I believe this is from Latter Day Saints, which is one group my mom & dad relate to, as they promote confidence, love, communication. There is no rejection; only information.) (I never "got", why people felt rejected, when we're all here, and all loved.)
As to my practice, it's Zen, since 1998.

I studied under Dr. Matt, in 2012. I noticed Ho'opono'pono was soothing, helping me to feel lighter, when I had been CEO. I've felt, that it's helped me as I've traversed since then as well.

Give it a try. See how you feel.

Maholo.
