A New Beginning

I have always had what I call a very "plastic" brain; by that I mean a mind that slips easily between paradigms of thinking. I begin to see through the filter of those other ways very quickly without losing my ability to relate to my prior position. I think this natural flexibility of belief this is the true definition of what Shamans call "walking in different worlds" and is what caused me to gravitate towards the study of shamanism in the first place.
I still call myself a Shaman, because I see the term as the closest definition to what I have become, but recently, a series of personal changes (and choices) has left me at a bit of a loss in terms of a defining paradigm. Contrary to what you might think, and indeed contrary to how I would have thought about it before, I'm finding that it's just fine with me! I do not mourn the end of an "identity", I celebrate the integration of my many facets into a more complete and effective Human Being.
I'm still writing stories, with plans to publish them in E-book form in the near future, but you will find other information here too. I believe that those who need to find this information will find it. I hope that something about my own personal journey speaks to you, and helps you to unravel some of the mystery of your own Life.
Thank you for reading!

Clear the Path

I dont think it's a cooincidence that all the information coming to me recently has to do with the way one's thoughts creates one's reality. In my life, there has been a focus on relationships between people and so I make use of this information by applying it to those issues.
Yes, I'm going all Huna on you guys, but bear with me on this...

So, by the very fact that you're in a "relationship", you're letting someone else co-create with you. In other words, you're actually turning over a bit of your own power to manifest reality and allowing another person/thing/place to have an impact on your reality. If the relationship goes down the crapper, it was really a combination of energy from both of you that created that reality. You can't control another person's actions, but you can minimize the negativity by eliminating the energy within you that draws it to you.


*as a side note, this is also a good way to tell if your relationships are "intimate" or not, as determined by how much of an mutual impact you have on each other's realities. If your partner goes out of the way to keep certain facets of their existance out of your influence then you may be holding back from a true sense of intimacy.

All this stuff is interconnected so I am not trying to speak for everyone, but what I want you to think about is this; when something goes wrong in a relationship it's really really REALLY (and did I say really?) easy to see what it was that the other person did "wrong". We don't see that as an attack on ourselves. Looking objectively at our own actions is harder.
Let me be clear that I'm not focusing on what you did "wrong",, which is more of an accusation, but what was your part, what are your thoughts and beliefs that manifest in this sort of situation.
In the area of Huna problem solving: the world is a reflection of what is happening inside us. If you are experiencing upset or imbalance, the place to look is inside yourself, not outside at the object you perceive as causing your problem.

This process is called Ho'ponopono in Hawaiian and translates literally as "to make right". It's a process used to connect to the Divine--what I call the Ohm in all of us, and you may see some similarities between this and some other religious beliefs.
One contacts the Higher Self (The Ohm, the Spark, God, Jesus etc) to ask that this moment and all it contains, be cleansed. Remember that the Ohm can erase or correct memories and thought forms. Since the Ohm created us, the Ohm knows what is going on with a person because on one level it is the person.
The idea here is not to go through every second of your past cataloging every possible slip up you may have done and beat yourself up over it.
In this system, there is no need to analyze, solve, manage or cope with problems. Since the Ohm created everything, you can just go directly and ask that it be corrected and cleansed.
Everything can be handled by you and the Divinity. You don't need to go one inch outside yourself for answers or help.

So getting back to relationships, let's assume that you need "cleansing" of old patterns that keep rearing their ugly heads. Make yourself comfortable and bring to mind your vision of the Divine.
Then say the following, paraphrasing or changing anything you wish to make it feel more relevant to you or ignoring it alltogether and making up your own prayer.:

(This Ho'oponopono was modified from one created by Morrnah Simeona for the 1977
International Huna Seminar in St. Louis, Missouri.)


Divine Creator, Father, Mother, Son as One [The Poe `Aumakua, Great
Company of High Selves],

If I have offended you, your
families, and ancestors in thoughts, words, or actions from the
beginning of our creation to the present,

Humbly, humbly I ask for forgiveness
for all my errors, resentments, guilts, hatreds, hurts, traumas or
pain, offenses, and blocks which I have created and accumulated from
the beginning to the present

Please Forgive me.

Let this [mana] cleanse, purify, and release us, offender and offended
from spiritual, mental, material, and karmic bondage.

Pull from the Memory Bank of our [Basic] Selves all unwanted,
negative memories and blocks that attach, knot, tie, and bind us
together.

Sever, detach, untie, and release these unwanted memories and blocks.

Transmute these unwanted energies to "Pure Light"

Fill the spaces these energies previously occupied by negativity with Divine Light of
the High Selves.

Let Divine Order, Light, Love, Peace, Balance, Understanding, Joy,
Wisdom, and Abundance be made manifest for me through the Divine Power
of the Divine Creator of all Life: Father, Mother, Son as One, the
`Aumakua, in whom we abide, rest, and have our being...
Now and Forevermore.

And it is Done.

If this is too long-winded for you, then write your own. Repeat it several times a couple of times a day for a few days, and whenever you feel that those ol' patterns are beginning to take hold of you again.
