DOWSING (and Meditation) FOR POSITIVE CHANGE with Ho’Oponopono

AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT. AS WITHOUT, SO WITHIN.

As you will read in my latest blog article, https://unlimitedpotentialhealingcenter.com/2022/08/29/ho0ponopono-for-world-issues/ Ho’Oponopono for World Issues?”, I believe that personal issues and global ones are linked through a shared consciousness. In other words, everyone is interconnected. And my consciousness which contains all of my memories, judgments and my feelings about them in both this incarnation and any others that I may have had, and those of everyone else, make up the Greater Consciousness of all beings. You might call it the computer bank for all of humanity and more. So in meditating or dowsing, you might address both the larger or global problem and how your own life reflects that. Or you might look at your personal issue and see how it is a reflection in the bigger picture. And include both in your meditation or dowsing session.

How is your personal problem related to a larger or global situation? How is the world problem reflected in what is going on in your own life?

Try to identify the issue in just one or a few words. For example, jealousy, betrayal, abandonment, theft, covetousness, deceit, etc.

What’s the issue/ or issues? How can I address my issue and the bigger issue at the same time?

Once you identify the issue or issues, how can you meditate or dowse on this using Dr. Hew Len’s wording or my own longer wording based on the principles of Ho’Oponopono?

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Read one paragraph, one sentence or even one phrase slowly while holding the pendulum and letting it spin by itself – counterclockwise to remove a negative and then clockwise when inputting a positive indicating that is working [doing what you have asked].
  • Let the words and your intention sink in. Even repeat the same sentence or paragraph until the pendulum stops or goes into the ‘yes’ position before going on to the next.
  • If you are meditating instead, wait until you feel a shift, or the segment feels complete. Then proceed to the next segment to the end.
  • You should feel calmer, more peaceful. If not, you need to repeat whether at that time or later, and certainly, repeat any time the topics, the upsetting memory or awareness of evil/wrong/injustice comes into your mind.
  • If you are in an extreme hurry, place your hand on your paper with everything that you want done, or place the pendulum over it and say something like “make all appropriate corrections here as outlined.”
  • If you don’t have the paper handy, take your pendulum and say “I am sorry for anything within me that is responsible in any way with ____ (the problem of ___, the situation with ___). Please forgive me. I love you. Please make any appropriate corrections in my consciousness and our shared consciousness. Thank you.

Option 1 is to list the issues of what happened.

“I am sorry, ____[your name], and I am sorry, Divine Creator, for whatever is within me, my relatives or ancestors in this or any other lifetime that attracted, allowed, caused, contributed or resonated in any way with ___ [issue] with ___ [name] to _____ [ what happened].

Please forgive me, ____[your name], for having to experience this. Please forgive me, Creator, and all of us in the collective unconscious.

I love you, ____[your name]. I love you, Divine Creator.

Thank you for bringing to my attention what needs to heal within myself. 

Thank you, Creator, for bringing divine love, healing, harmony and balance into this situation for the highest good of all. Please correct any erroneous thoughts in my consciousness and that of our shared consciousness that is responsible in any way.

Thank you for healing all the trauma that I and others have suffered from ____[list the issue/issues].

Thank you, Creator, for healing all the ___ [problems experienced] that I and others like me have ever suffered.

Thank you for healing any resonance with the problem within myself and correcting any errors in my consciousness and humanity’s shared consciousness so that this behavior ends, and people can _____[possible opposite of the problem].”

Take action with the pendulum and let me know when you are done. Thank you.”

[Wait until the pendulum stops, or if this is a meditation, until you feel a sense of completion.]

OPTION 2: Hold the paper upon which you have written what happened and the issues involved without listing them in your prayer.

“I am sorry, ____[your name], and I am sorry, Divine Creator, for whatever is within me, my relatives or ancestors in this or any other lifetime that attracted, allowed, caused, contributed or resonated in any way with this situation with ___ [name].

Please forgive me, _____[your name], for having to experience this. Please forgive me, Creator, and all of us in the collective unconscious.

I love you, _____[your name]. I love you, Divine Creator.

Thank you for bringing to my attention what needs to heal within myself. 

Thank you, Creator, for bringing divine love, healing, harmony and balance into this situation for the highest good of all. Please correct any erroneous thoughts in my consciousness and that of our shared consciousness that is responsible in any way.

Thank you for healing all the trauma and disturbances that I and others have suffered from anything similar to this at any point in time.

Thank you for healing any resonance within myself and others that participated in creating this and correcting any errors in my consciousness and humanity’s shared consciousness so that people live instead in harmony with one another with honesty, warranted trust, good will and compassion.

Take action with the pendulum and let me know when you are done. Thank you.”

[Wait until the pendulum stops, or if this is a meditation, until you feel a sense of completion.]

OPTION 3: List each issue you want healed, and each positive opposite that you want put in it’s place.

“I am sorry, ____[your name], and I am sorry, Divine Creator, for whatever is within me, my relatives or ancestors in this or any other lifetime that attracted, allowed, caused, contributed or resonated in any way with this situation of___[the issue] of___with ___ [their name]).

Please forgive me, ____[your name], for having to experience this. Please forgive me, Creator, and all of us in the collective unconscious.

I love you, ____[your name]. I love you, Divine Creator.

Thank you, Creator, in all ways for bringing divine love, healing, harmony and balance into this situation for the highest good of all. Please correct any erroneous thoughts in my consciousness and that of our shared consciousness that is responsible in any way.

Thank you for bringing to my attention what needs to heal within myself. Help me to ____[what you want such as greater discernment/balance/be able to ___].Heal the consciousness behind such behavior in both me and others. Replace it with ____ [what you want to happen such as the ability to dialog respectfully].

Thank you for healing the consciousness behind _____ [ the issue]. Put in its place a consciousness that supports _____ [the positive opposite such as clear and open dialog, good communication, trustworthiness, honesty, fairness, win-win attitudes, and justice]. Remove any ____.

Thank you for healing all the trauma and disturbances that I and others have suffered from anything similar to this at any point in time. Replace them with feelings of peace and tranquility. Replace them with an awareness of the positive things that were learned or can be gained as part of one’s wisdom from the experience. Replace them with a knowledge of what can be done to prevent a reoccurrence of anything similar happening again. Replace them with gratitude for the love and support received by others including that from Spirit, and a gratitude for the blessings still remaining. Help me to use this experience and what was learned from it to help others that are suffering, and to prevent more from experiencing such upset. In short, turn this painful experience into a blessing for me and others.

Release any of the stuck energies of stress from each and every cell, and restore health and harmonious functioning in the body, restorative sleep, and greater clarity and acuity of the mind, and a greater strength of spirit. In short, make me and others that have suffered stronger in mind, body and spirit. Strengthen also our connections and support with those who love us.

Remove any evil or dark influences supporting negative behavior and take them where they are unable to harm any being on this planet ever again. Bring divine light and love into the hearts of those that have mistreated others.

Thank you for healing any resonance within myself and others that participated in creating this and correcting any errors in my consciousness and humanity’s shared consciousness so that people live instead in harmony with one another with honesty, warranted trust, good will and compassion.

Take action with the pendulum and let me know when you are done. Thank you.”

A Tribute to Dowser, Diane Bull

I was saddened to hear that one of my favorite people and fellow dowser, Diane Bull, died last week. Those of you that are members of the American Society of Dowsers will remember her as a spirited, sometimes feisty former Board Member, convention speaker, and someone who was always ready to help fellow dowsers and the organization as a whole in the best, possible way. She taught me many things including that you could talk to the nature spirits in the garden to only allow the critters to take 10% of the harvest. Below is a photo of Diane with her husband and former ASD President, Leroy Bull. And here is an interview that I did with Diane back in 2018. https://unlimitedpotentialhealingcenter.com/2018/05/17/interview-with-dowser-diane-bull/

And here is the obituary sent to me:

On Being Thorough in Therapy

Tracing & Addressing the Origin of Problems

I have been working on trying to understand what underlies human behavior and mental and emotional issues since childhood. At 4 years old, I was overheard telling a playmate “you’re master of yourself”. And while self-mastery is possible as we know of saints and gurus that appear to have achieved it, the 24/7 responsibility to monitor and correct your thoughts, beliefs and judgments, and then healing the emotions that stem from those thoughts — is a major, lifelong task that all too often seems like putting one foot forward but moving two feet back.

In elementary school I started giving advice based on Dale Carnegie’s book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People” to my friends who didn’t know how to deal with fellow classmates. It’s a good book. Yet, despite reading a library of helpful self-help books and learning a multiple of therapeutic techniques from multiple modalities over decades.

Deep, personal healing goes beyond the lens of known problems and difficult relationships. 

It necessitates tracing the origins of issues and relationships back through previous lifetimes, through family and ancestral lineage, addressing the universal flaws existing within all of humanity such as the 7 deadly sins of pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. And it involves healing the pain of what was perceived as missing especially in childhood of love, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness.

The known problems are CLUES to the real cause lying beneath negative repeating patterns.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE

Initially, when I had a problem, I focused on the current incident or the person with whom I had the problem.  But then when more problems with that person occurred, I had to focus on the relationship as a whole. And when that didn’t stop the problem, I had to consider that the problems with that person might stem with the soul of that person that could go back through earlier and perhaps many lifetimes. 

Later when I thought I had resolved the current situation, I noticed that same type of problem happened again, but now with someone else. So, I moved on to clearing the issue around all similar events about which I could remember, and that could involve even more people. Clearing the origin of the issue could involve clearing multiple lifetimes and multiple people and clump together with related issues. Yet, no matter how time consuming to address, once the same sort of problem happens three times, it means a pattern has been established that will only continue to reoccur until it is resolved.

We all know that future generations can be sensitized to specific fears such as that of discrimination or violence by hearing horrid stories of one’s ancestors. But recent research with children of holocaust survivors found that these children were more fearful than Jews from families that had not been in the concentration camps. The study hypothesized that these excessive fears were passed down on the DNA. This correlates with experiments on mice – the specific fears of the parents were transferred down to offspring. Perhaps this is a survival mechanism. But what this means in therapy is that is the need to address the issues experienced by our ancestors as well. Dr. Bradley Nelson has proven in his book, The  Emotion Code, that doing so can have tremendous therapeutic effect.

Further indications of problems passing down the family line is that of a role played in the family such as that of the invalid or the black sheep or the crazy one, or what has been called ‘the family curse’. 

Lately, I am following the theory that the source of the problem does not just originate within the self with its own beliefs and judgements and unresolved traumas from this and other lifetimes, nor that of our personal ancestors, but can originate even further back within what we call the “collective unconscious” – in other words, within the shared consciousness of all of humanity, and perhaps other species as well, throughout all of time.

As Dr. Hew Len who popularized Ho’Oponopono said,

“we cannot know the origin of the problem.” Hence, it is helpful to make space for the healing to go wherever it is needed without you knowing where it began.

Dr. Len’s method was to continually pray to heal his own thoughts or consciousness underlying the problem whether he knew what those thoughts might be: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.” My own wording for this is:

“I’m sorry for whatever is within me, my relatives or ancestors in this or another lifetime that attracted, allowed, caused, contributed to or resonated in any way with this ____ (problem/situation ___of/with ___).

Please forgive me. Please forgive all of us.

I love you ____ [my name  or Creator’s].

Thank you for bringing to my attention what needs to heal within myself. Thank you for bringing healing into this ____ (problem/situation) for the highest good of all concerned. Thank you for correcting any distortion in my consciousness or in our shared consciousness.”

In the collective unconscious are the origins of every wonderful attribute of humanity seen also in the animal kingdom – love, empathy, kindness, protection of the young, joy, etc.. But here too lay the inclination to do harm as well as the wounds from that harm experienced by our ancestors from covetousness and greed, theft, betrayal, control and domination, manipulation, deceit and cunning, disruption and chaos, lies and broken promises, violence, rage and hate, mental, emotional and physical abuse, lust and rape — all traumas replayed over and over again from perhaps the very beginning of mankind. In dealing with the ancient roots of the problem,

I have come to the conclusion that deep healing ultimately requires appealing to something bigger than ourselves– the Divine, the Source of All That Is, the great I AM — in short, prayer is needed with repeated group prayer being the most effective.

“Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of you.”

To resolve what underlay a particular problem, I had to go back to the beginning (wherever that was). Hypnotic regression and past life regression are helpful, but it requires the assistance of another person – something not always possible, practical or affordable. There had to be another way.

In addition to everything else, I work with a large number of unconscious healing modalities of which there are many techniques – my own Infinite Intelligence Process, my way of using pendulum dowsing with specially designed charts, meditation and self-hypnosis, the Emotional Freedom Technique, Emotion Code, Conceptual Therapy, Tapas Accupressure, Neural Linguistic Programming, several hypnotic visualizations, and hypnotic techniques as by A.L. Ward, E. Art Winkler, Ho’Oponopono, and I continue to add more. Dowser Joachim Wippich’s work also deals with correcting unconscious thoughts and may be worth exploring.

My basic intention is to turn all problems into a blessing –

  • a blessing to me for the wisdom and fortitude to be gained in resolving them,
  • a blessing to others in that I can now help them with what I learned from a problem similar to theirs,
  • and a blessing to prevent others from suffering by learning from my experience.

And so, you can also turn your problems into blessings. Compost them and harvest wisdom and strength.

When I have gotten depressed or upset or frustrated with a problem that was defying resolution, I have remembered the words of Judith Baldwin, wife of Dr. William Baldwin, founder of Spirit Releasement Therapy:

“And It Came to Pass……Away!” 

While problems can be caused by ignorance (as in “what can go wrong?), not paying attention, ignoring the signals or your gut level instincts, inexperience, lack of knowledge or training, not considering the ramifications of each potential choice, over estimating your own abilities as in “fools go where angels fear to tread,” trial and error, or curiosity as in “I wonder what can happen if….”, I believe that problems are meant to be temporary. We can create them out of our recklessness or stupidity. But when they are assigned by the universe as in homework, I believe that are intended as a means to heal long, unaddressed wounds, to grow in mental, emotional and spiritual strength and to test that strength. They are the means by which we gain both in valuable experience and wisdom and heal on a deeper level. I am also reminded of a saying:

“Man meant it for evil, but God meant it for good!”
