Self Identity, Ho'oponopono
Releasing
Suffering, Struggle and Limitation
For
Happiness, Prosperity and Love.
The World’s Most
Unusual Therapist
by Joe Vitale
Two years ago I heard
about a therapist in Hawaii
who healed people but never saw them.
He worked in a mental
hospital for criminals.
Patients there were sedated and often even shackled. Staff called in
sick a lot
because they hated their job, the patients, and the environment.
But this therapist
turned all that around. He did
it solely by working on himself, doing an updated ancient Hawaiian
healing
method called Ho'oponopono.
It took me two years to
accept this story. I was
fascinated but thought it was an urban myth. After all, how could a
therapist
cure anyone by working on himself and not even seeing the actual
patients? It
didn’t make any sense.
I heard about this
therapist again this past
summer. The story began to bug me so I began to research it. It seemed
to take
forever to find the man, but I did. I emailed him, asked if I could
interview
him, and he agreed.
We spoke on the phone
for
an hour. He’s now elderly, lives in California and Hawaii, and teaches
people
how to do this updated old healing method in private seminars.
He told me that he
worked at that mental hospital
for two years. He said it’s true that he never saw a client. What he
would do
was look at the patient’s file and then look within himself, trying to
clear
what was in him that created the patient and his condition.
Huh?
The therapist said
everything in your life is
created from within you. When you change you, the outer world changes.
I’ve heard this before,
of course. I’ve even
written about this in my book, The Attractor Factor. But this unusual
therapist
was taking the idea of total responsibility into unknown territory. He
was claiming
that he could heal people — even mentally ill criminals — by healing
himself.
He went on to tell me
that in a few months of doing
his inner work at that hospital, patients began to improve. Many that
needed
to be sedated no longer needed sedating. Many that were in chains could
be
freed. And
many that had been in the mental hospital for seven years, were
actually being
released.
Even the staff started
to get better, beginning to
love their job and joyfully showing up to work every day. In fact, so
many patients
got better, that the hospital closed.
Incredible. Simply
incredible.
I wanted to know more.
I kept probing to find out
how this therapist actually heals himself to heal others. What was he
doing
inside himself, anyway?
“I just keep cleaning,”
is all he could say.
Well, I’m leaving today
to go see this therapist.
I’m catching a plane to LA in just a few hours. I’m attending his
seminar. I’ll
do my best to report what happens at his workshop when I get back next
week.
