Who Are You After You Drop Your Story? Self Help Articles | June 5 Brock Boeser Jersey , 2007 I am sitting with my deep blue Irises on this perfect spring morning and I inwardly chant: Thank you, I love you dear Irises for showing me the meaning of beauty and transcendence here on planet Earth...
I am sitting with my deep blue Irises on this perfect spring morning and I inwardly chant: Thank you, I love you dear Irises for showing me the meaning of beauty and transcendence here on planet Earth.
Human concerns and problems are nonexistent as I continue my Ho''oponopono chant.
If an issue suddenly surfaces in the form of a memory or an actual seemingly troubling event, I continue the chant Henrik Sedin Jersey , adding: I am sorry, Please forgive me for the part I played or play in bringing this story about.
Ho''oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing art that teaches that by inwardly saying the phrases, I love you, Thank you Daniel Sedin Jersey , I am sorry, Please forgive me, that shared memories and mental repetitive tapes are erased.
These chants are ceaselessly repeated even in calm and peaceful times, as I sit with my Irises and love them.
The phrases are a direct method of Letting GoLetting God. Ho''oponopono teaches that everything we see is a projection of our emotional baggage and programs or of our love and harmony.
The choice is ours: to let go Vancouver Canucks Jersey , to embrace, or react and get lost in the confusion.
The challenge is: that everyone loves a story. Our earliest programming for most of us is the bedtime story. Children love these and we love to read them and tell them.
In my own life, the stories that seemingly happen such as: The doctor was mean to me; The patient is homeless; my love affair is over; she doesn''t love me anymore; he loves her more than he loves me; are the same stories that happen to everyone.
New stories don''t exist. They''ve been rehashed for hundreds and hundreds of years!
Ho''oponopono is a beautiful tool. As I inwardly chant my phrases (I love you, Thank you Sidney Crosby Jersey , Please forgive me and I am sorry) I also use Byron Katie''s "The Work" to dissect my stories and grant them the freedom to be--or not to be.
I will use as an example a volatile situation that occured in the workplace:
A provider does not respond to a call of an imminent delivery. The nurses deliver the baby and when the provider arrives, she screams at the nurses in front of the patient. The delivery was smooth, baby was healthy, and mom was very happy Jake Guentzel Jersey , indeed.
I will use the Judge-Your-Neighbor Worksheet to do "the work" for this particular story:
Inquiry: The Four Questions and Turnaround
1) Is it true?
2) Can you absolutely know that it''s true?
3) How do you react when you believe that thought?
4) Who would you be without that thought? and--
Turn it around.
I. I am angry and frustrated with said provider because she screamed at me in front of the patient. She has done this on numerous occasions and we are all sick of it.
Is this true?
Yes.
Can you absolutely know that it''s true?
Yes. (Well, she really doesn''t do it all the time....)
How do you react when you believe that thought?
Judgmental and restricted.
Who would you be without that thought?
I''d be more relaxed and allow others the freedom to be themselves without me having to be freaked out and offended.
(Here I can see that my thoughts and beliefs are what are bringing me pain--not what anyone else does or doesn''t do!!)
Turn it around: I am not angry and frustrated with this person.
I am angry and frustrated at myself because I allowed someone else''s behavior ruin my day.
I may not always be totally centered and caring for my patients--How can I improve that?
II. I want (said provider) to take a communications class and get her act together.
Is this true?
Well, not necessarily true.
Who would you be without this thought?
I''d think it was funnier and could laugh at it and move on.
Turn it around.
I don''t want her to take a communications class. What she does or doesn''t do is her own business.
I need to take a communications class.
In fact, I want to take a communications class!
III. Said provider should get her medicines re-evaluated.
Is This true?
No Matt Murray Jersey , because I don''t even know if she is taking any medicines.
Who would you be without this thought?
More clear, more forgiving.
Turn it around.
Said provider should not get her medicines re-evaluated.
I need to get MY medicines re-evaluated!!! (Just kidding--I don''t take any medicines but if I keep going insane with these judgments, I may have to see a Doctor!!!)
