Inspired Action and Ho’oponopono

I loved the Dona
Nobis Pacem program that Mimi Writes
put together (and the post it bought
out in me) so much I decided to leave it up a little longer than normal… so now I am
back at more regular posts. It received almost a dozen comments so it had the
same impact on you as it had on me.

This past week I learned an important lesson about inspired
action and holding the intention of strengthening my “feeling muscle” for what
I love to do. As most of you know I am live in a fragmented world of marketing
and healing. I spent time last week in my capacity as a market communication strategists
working with the venture capital (VC) world (I am helping to organize a VC
track for a technology conference in the Bay area). There I was at a conference
surrounded by this interesting group of VCs and the service providers who hang
around them. Most of VCs started as technologists in some form or another and became
VCs after a startup success and also became extremely wealthy in the process.

It feels energetically like most of them don’t ever have to
work again, but like to keep their hands in it, and gamble a little, through
investing in a start up technology company.

What I realized is there are some on power trips and some
that are just intellectually curious, those that need to be right and those
that simply need to win more and garner more prestige. Most importantly, each
one of these different attributes described aspects of myself. That every
person I meet offers the opportunity to reveal to me what is inside of me.

So at the conference I am spending a large portion of my
time looking at the person I was judging or appreciating and observing those
same qualities within me. I did my Ho’oponopono
work (thank you, I am sorry, I love you, please forgive me) and investigated
how I was feeling. Wow it was powerful, I clearly saw times in my life were I
was seeking power over, where I had to be right, where I pursued something
simply for prestige (and not in service). I forgave myself for that previous
behavior. I thanked the catalyst of these men for reminding me of the aspects
of myself I didn’t really want to look at, and for providing me the opportunity
to delve deeper.

Through that process I uncovered an even more important
piece, what I love to do, what gives me passion and touches my heart and what
is just fun. Those attributes I mentioned
above (prestige, being right etc.) pointed out the reasons why I chose various
jobs; they were in alignment with my beliefs and unconscious material at the
time. I can clearly see the law of attraction in action… I created many moments
to align with where I was at in that material. Now as I am reminded of those
attributes through the people I meet, I can go back to that moment of
unconsciousness and really look at it and see the “why” of who I was, and also
see how far I have come and now see what inspires me most as
I move forward in my life and work.

So my question to you is: who in you life can reflect back
to you what you have been creating for yourself then do your Ho’oponopono. Also, what fills
you up, what drives your passion. If you had a magic wand and could wipe it
over you life what would you be doing and more importantly what would it feel
like. What does it feel like in your body when you are doing what you love?
Grow that feeling muscle so that each time you feel it you know you are on the
right path.

    Hi Jennifer:
    I found your blog site on Mark’s site. Thank you for your posting and the reference to the book. I have been studying the book, “the Secret” and with this new information what an impact it can make on the world. I am going to try the exercise today saying, “I am sorry. I love you.” If you get a chance visit my blog I write about loving yourself. Helen

    Jennifer,
    This is a great article. I love that you were able to stop and realize that what you saw in others was a reflection of yourself. I love the exercise that you presented, to ask of yourself, what it is that you are passionate about, what it is that you would truly want to be doing. You have given us much to think about today, thank-you!

    I like the idea of “working” or building the muscle when we recognize it. I have noticed that many of my aches and pains disappear when I am truly in the presence of love and not just present – but actively engaged in that moment with someone.
    Thanks for making me think more today on these matters. I have promised myself to slow down this summer. Can’t wait to put some of these principles of yours into practice.
    Peace,
    Mimi

    Hi Jennifer:
    I have been trying the technique of saying to myself, “I am sorry and I love you” when I see someone upset. It is amazing how their attitude changes. Thank you for the special gift. Helen
