Datgene waar je je geest op richt, komt naar je toe. Of: het gelijke trekt het gelijke aan. Het is dan ook niet verbazingwekkend dat, na het lezen van de bovengenoemde boeken, onze aandacht gericht was op de thema's vergeving en eigen verantwoordelijkheid. Tijdens een telefoongesprek met een dierbare vriendin kwam terloops ter sprake dat zij informatie had over iemand uit Hawaii die patienten genas zonder deze überhaupt te zien. Dat klinkt voor een healer, coach of therapeut natuurlijk als iets wat de aandacht verdient. Hoe groot is de invloed van de facilitator op de
cliënt? Wat is zijn/haar "verantwoordelijkheid"? Bij de voorbereiding van deze nieuwsbrief kwamen we de onderstaande artikelen tegen op het internet over de Hawaiiaanse healing methode Ho'oponopono en Dr. Ihaleakala S. Hew Len. Ze passen precies in het thema van deze nieuwsbrief. Wij wilden jullie deze dan ook niet onthouden.
Healing within to heal 'without' by Joe Vitale
'Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients... without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved. When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best self-improvement master cure the criminally insane? It didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.
However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian healing process called ho'oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more. I had always understood "total responsibility" to mean that I am responsible for what I think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people think of total responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does--but that's wrong. The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill people would teach me an advanced new perspective about total responsibility. His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent an hour talking on our first phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete story of his work as a therapist.
He explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years. That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous. Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with their backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a pleasant place to live, work, or visit....'

100% Responsibility and the Promise of a Hot Fudge Sundea
An Interview with Ihaleakala Hew Len, by Cat Saunders
'How do you thank someone who has helped to set you free? How do you thank a man whose gentle spirit and zinger statements have forever altered the course of your life? Ihaleakala Hew Len is such a man for me. Like a soul brother who shows up unexpectedly in an hour of need, Ihaleakala came into my life in March of 1985, during a time of massive change for me. I met him during a training called "Self I-Dentity Through Ho'oponopono," which he facilitated along with the late Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, a native Hawaiian kahuna ("keeper of the secret").
For me, Ihaleakala and Morrnah are part of the rhythm of life. Though I love them both dearly, I don't really dwell on thoughts of them as people, yet their influence is always there for me, beating a steady pulse like African drums in the night. Recently, I had the honor of being asked to interview Ihaleakala by The Foundation of I, Inc. (Freedom of the Cosmos), an organization founded by Morrnah. It was an even greater honor to learn that he would be coming from his home in Hawaii to meet with me personally.
Dr. Ihaleakala S. Hew Len is the foundation's president and administrator. Together with Morrnah, Ihaleakala has worked with thousands of people over the years, including groups at the United Nations, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), International Human Unity Conference on World Peace, World Peace Conference, Traditional Indian Medicine Conference, Healers for Peace in Europe, and the Hawaii State Teachers Association. He also has extensive experience working with developmentally disabled people and with the criminally mentally ill and their families. In all his work as an educator, the Ho'oponopono process supports and permeates every breath of his efforts.
Simply put, Ho'oponopono means, "to make right," or "to rectify an error." According to the ancient Hawaiians, error arises from thoughts that are tainted by painful memories from the past. Ho'oponopono offers a way to release the energy of these painful thoughts, or errors, which cause imbalance and disease...'
