Ho'oponopono Clears Limiting Beliefs

I had an inspiring experience today by using Ho’oponopono on a troubling conversation with a friend.

I'd been talking with this friend about my excitement with my investment plan, called InVeStworks. I shared with her that I would love to use this program with some favourite non-profit organizations who work with children. A key feature of the InVeStworks model is that it can be used to create a living fund-raising program.

My friend asked me if I would benefit financially if the non-profit used the model and I said “yes”. Then she proposed that I would be more likely to have the non-profit use this plan if I didn’t stand to make any money from it. I replied that I saw no conflict with it and since I would be introducing it to them and it was for their benefit, why wouldn’t it be okay for me to also make money from it?

I could feel my inner doubts and while the conversation ended at that point, I’ve not been comfortable with it and it keeps coming back to me. I know and trust that I am responsible for creating my life and my experiences. If I heard these thoughts expressed by her, there had to be something in me that brought them up.

Today I chose to repeat the Ho’oponopono prayer over and over while replaying this conversation in my mind. My goal was to clear whatever part of me was responsible for her saying that. How could I continue to create success in building my network of partners and be confident in introducing InVeStworks to non-profits if underneath my awareness I believed that I was acting only from self interest?

After about ten minutes of repeating the four phrases or prayers of Ho’oponopono, I started to hear an inner voice telling me that this plan is something I am passionate about. By marrying this with my passion for the non-profit’s work, I am helping the non-profit raise money. I will further assist them by helping them find partners to build their income from the program. Thus I get to do something that will help a cause I believe in and while I make a return on my work, the non-profit could have a sustainable, secure income it would otherwise not have.

I felt peaceful and completely free of niggling beliefs of self-service. By taking responsibility for this conversation, I had cleared any inner doubts that might have been holding me back from taking action to introduce InVeStworks to my non-profit.

Thanks to Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len for making Ho’oponopono known to all of us.

“I love you. Thank you. Please forgive me. I’m sorry.” - four simple phrases that clear us of negative internal beliefs. Imagine all the good that will come of me sharing my investment plan with organizations working with young children. They’ll be able to focus on their work while the InVeStworks plan earns them residual income. A win-win situation for all.
