← CHAPTER OVERVIEW
Let’s play a game.
Dear Creatrix,
How was the second week of this chapter for you so far?
What did you think about working with the Inner Child Archetypes? What are you going to let go of, and what are you going to nourish and keep?
Now, today, I would like to invite you to play a game.
But before we start, I’d like to tell you a story.
Have you heard of Ho’oponopono?
It’s a traditional Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness and consists of the words:
I’m Sorry.
– I forgive You.
Thank You.
– I love You.
I’ve known about it for a while, but when I started listening to the Ho’oponopono song by The Emmitt Sisters below, the practice became quite present in my life and I tried it on different occasions and in different ways.
Now, as these things go, things often line up quite beautifully.
At the same time, I was listening to a book by Maureen St. Germain about connecting to our highest self, and she suggested some very useful techniques, and so we (me and Highest Self) tried a few of them.
My higher self communication has been quite good already, so my Highest Self and I decided that we can keep on going the way we’re used to – but as this was a pretty intense evening of practising these different styles of communication and thinking about my Higher Self and our connection, these thoughts remained present on my walk with the dog the next day.
So, while I was walking, I thought about how my Highest Self chose for me to be born into the family I was born into, how it chose for me to be born exactly where I was born, and where I am now, something that I was often not happy about when I was growing up, and on that walk too, I was trying to understand why I was here, why things are the way they are, and how to make sense of it all.
And all of a sudden, that song came up in my head, and I said: I’m sorry (for not understanding). And my Highest Self answered: I forgive you.
And I said: Thank You.
And my Highest Self said: I love You.
That love was so pure and so real, and I suddenly felt like I fully understood the Ho’oponopono, AND that I did not have to understand everything about my life, at the same time.
I can just trust that the choices were made for a reason, one I have yet to figure out, or one I might only understand when I die – however, no matter what it is, it was all chosen out of love and I could really feel that, in that moment.
It was very special, and that feeling of connection and understanding lasted for quite a while and was very peaceful.
What do you think after reading this?
Are you talking to your Highest Self (yet)?
