You can use YOFA® Meditation to amplify your Ho’oponopono cleaning. In this episode, I share a little bit about Ho’oponopono and clear up the misconception that taking responsibility means accepting blame. It is soooo the opposite!
Now is the perfect time to join the YOFA® Meditation Center.
Check out the current promotion!
Dr. Rebbie Straubing is the founder of The Yoga of Alignment (YOFA) and is a certified advanced Ho’oponopono practitioner.
When terrible, heartbreaking events touch those who seem to be innocent, defenseless victims, something happens in us. We hear about these atrocities and they are unbearable to our soft human sensibilities. How can we react? How can we deal with these stories that surface time and time again in different parts of the world, in our own backyards, in different generations, in our own newspapers?
We burst in rage. We retreat in despair. We harden in defense of our own sanity.
We are, whether we allow it to rise to consciousness or not, all connected, all part of the same energy field. Like an ocean where harsh weather in one region eventually impacts the currents on distant shores, we feel each other’s joys and pains, usually without any awareness of the streams from which they flow.
I leave the social, cultural, and political analyses of these problems, and suggestions for their solutions, to those who know of those things.
And in this moment, I write a reminder to myself. I write this openly so that if you seek a similar reminder, this might stir your own note to yourself. You can even post it here to add to the vibration of healing.
Ho’oponopono
I am reminding myself, as I have cultivated within myself a practice of Ho’oponopono to the best of my understanding and ability, that this that occurs in the world, in my world, in my awareness, is happening in me. I take 100% responsibility for these action that cause such enormous pain. I understand that if they are happening in my world, that on a certain level, I created this pain.
And with this stance of responsibility, I offer, what I have learned from Dr. Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. I offer a prayer of cleaning of this atrocity in me. I offer, “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”
What will this do? It will not bring back the precious lives of the beautiful souls that were taken. No it will not do that. It will not pull the sorrow from the families and loved ones of the victims. No. It will not reverse their loss. So what’s the point?
The prayer of cleaning, as I understand it, acts as an eraser of this disruptive energy as it lives in me. If I react in rage (easy) I add to the energy of rage that created the incident. I continue the chain reaction and I become a link on that chain. If I take the time to clean this in me (not as easy) I break the chain. I remove my link. It dissolves, disintegrates. And with that, I allow more light into my world. I allow more harmony to express in my field of awareness which includes everything and everyone in my world.
And so, in the wake of these mournful events, I make the effort to hold this occurrence in the prayer of love and healing for all those directly involved, and in the stance of 100% responsibility, and in the action of cleaning my space of that for which I would judge the other.

The tipping point has come.
We used to think giving someone a sweater or a DVD that was gift wrapped with a bow was a more substantial gift. Giving something digital was like giving nothing.
It’s still like that for some, but for a growing number of people, that box and that wrapping paper says, “Here is a gift you don’t want and don’t need, and it’s more clutter to collect
dust for you.”
For those plugged in people, a digital gift is the way to go. It’s useful, it’s juicy, and it integrates seamlessly into their lives. A digital gift enriches their lives – as a gift is meant to do.
Who is this for?
For the conscious individual. But not just any conscious individual. This is for the recipient of your gift who always has headphones dangling from her ears or who is glued to his laptop. For those electronically oriented enlightenment enthusiasts, here are some gift ideas:

It was practically glowing. But wait. I’m getting ahead of myself.
Waiting for the Book
Years ago, the editor of a paperback collection of self-help tools invited me to contribute one of my articles. I knew there would be some big name authors on the roster and I eagerly awaited my sample copy of the book.
When the shiny brick of self-help pages finally found its way to my receptive eyes and hands, the strangest thing happened. I can’t even remember exactly how it all unfolded but the focal point of that book became one single article for me. Like an old vinyl record spinning around and around with one simple peg at its center, my mind kept wrapping around and around this article.
When I recommended the book to my friends, I almost forgot that I too had an article in this book. I was quick to show them my favorite: The one that had captured my attention from the moment I received the book.
======= Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len Cured Patients He Never Saw. =======
This magnetic article was more of an outrageous story than a self-help technique. It took place in a hospital ward for the criminally insane. (Not usually the kind of story that grabs me.) But in this true story something seemingly miraculous happens. A Hawaiian therapist is able to cure all the criminally insane inmates in the hospital ward by doing nothing but looking within himself.
The startling notion that someone could have such a beneficial impact on others by becoming 100% responsible in his own life and consciousness breaks the status quo. It completely quakes our cultural belief systems. At least it did for me.
======= Total Responsibility =======
The possibility of becoming completely 100% responsible (for everything) rocked my world. The funny thing is that this is not the first time I encountered this type of approach. But the message was finding a new way into my awareness. A way it never had before.
I read and reread the article trying to extract the technique. I wanted to know how he did it. As far as I could tell, it was all described in this slim article. And yet it seemed way too simple. Could this miracle have come from something as simple as taking full responsibility and saying, “I’m sorry,” and, “I love you,” over and over again?
======= Fast Forward a Few Years =======
In time, Dr. Joe Vitale, the author of that article, would come to partner up with Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len (often called Dr. Len for short) to create a book, seminars, and recordings on the practice of Zero Limits. Together they would bring this method called Ho’oponopono to more and more people like me.
And so, as I sit here at my desk watching videos of a Ho’oponopono Zero Limits seminar, and as I have Joe Vitale and Dr. Len right here on my computer screen, explaining this method to me in step-by-step fashion, I am once again amazed. And as I am finding out that it really is as simple as was described in that first article, I’m also finding out that “simple” runs very deep.
Ho’oponopono found me years ago, and I am very grateful to Dr. Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len for offering more and more materials so that this is no longer just a story. It is now a method I can use from moment to moment to moment.

“Things like to be told, ‘Thank you.'” – Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len
Words of gratitude spoken with the voice have enormous power.
Words of gratitude spoken silently in the mind, like a mantra, cleanse the mind.
But what about your hands?
Words of gratitude spoken with your hands bring success in the world. When the hands speak the harmonious language of gratitude, the work they produce is beneficial and attracts prosperity.
What Are Your Hands Saying?
It is easy to understand that you speak with your voice. Now I’d like you to consider the idea that you also speak with your hands. I’m not talking about sign language. I’m talking about every movement, every gesture, and every contact initiated by your hands. Your hands are generating waves of harmony or disharmony with every movement. You can increase the harmonious field around your hands by filling their “conversation” with appreciation.
How to automatically say, “Thank You” with your hands
This is a simple process you can do everyday to improve your life in dramatic and unpredictable ways.
First, look at your hands.
Your hands are in almost constant motion. They are either moving through the air or they are making contact with another person, with each other, or with an “inanimate” thing. You can use your hands in a way that causes them to automatically say, “thank you,” with each gesture.
Try This
It may take a few moments of meditation to feel this as real. Take your time. A small authentic awakening of this love is more powerful than a big idea with no real feeling.
Three shifts take place in sequence as a result of this practice:
First:
When your hands become so fully attuned to love that they habitually send love out, there is an automatic shift in what they receive.
Second:
They receive the best from everything they contact.
Third:
And with that, comes an effortless “thank you,” from your hands. In other words, your hands automatically speak words of gratitude.
To sum it up, the intentional generation of love creates an automatic receiving of good which prompts an automatic state of gratitude.
As the flow of love from your hands causes them to become automatic in their speaking of gratitude, there is a double message always emanating from your hands. They vibrate in a constant alternation between love and gratitude. This is the perfect energy to promote everything you want your hands to accomplish.
With this energy vitalized in your hands, your hands speak gratitude almost all the time. You become highly effective. The work of your hands becomes light filled and you cannot help but prosper.

Dr. Hew Len
After so many decades of setting New Years resolutions, intentions, goals, or whatever else I called them at different stages of my life, I have come to a phase of desiring simplicity.
For the last number of years, I have found myself wondering what is the most succinct, all encompassing New Year’s Resolution? What would be the one resolution or intention or focus that would click all others into gear automatically?
Well, here it is New Year’s Eve, and I find myself deep in the mantra “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.” According to Dr. Hew Len, Dr. Joe Vitale, and Ho’oponopono, these words clean. This cleaning is so profound that it extends beyond us by generations. It extends deep into thought forms of which we are completely unaware. And most importantly, these words (from a YOFA perspective) correct our alignment so that we have greater access to the Divine. We come into greater alignment with our true essence, which is rooted in the infinite, rooted in Divine Love.
And so this year, it seems to be my intention to keep cleaning and to make my connection with Divine Love my highest priority.
In the last Weight Drop Gift Workshop, a question came up about how the Gift Formula relates to Ho’oponopono.
The YOFA Gift formula is:
This is also a clearing process specifically for achieving and maintaining your ideal weight. It includes many of the same elements but it is more directed toward a specific outcome. It has greater focus. The Ho’oponopono cleaning is more of a complete release and surrender orientation. The Gift workshop has that too, with a little deliberate creation mixed in for a specific purpose.
To join me in cleaning for the new year, I highly recommend these videos http://hooponopono-zerolimits.com. They are fully guaranteed for 2 months but I sincerely doubt that you would want your money back. I know that watching these videos might just be the most important thing you do for yourself this whole year. Get it done now and it will work for you for the rest of your life.
If you keep having that same old , diet/weight loss goal on your list year after year, it may be time for a change.
Make a resolution to let go of your weight issue and achieve your ideal weight. How? By doing the Weight Drop Workshop Visualizations.
I wish you a Happy New Year filled with Love, jhe and many moments of soul satisfying joy.
With Love and Appreciation,
Rebbie
In this brief article, I want to share with you a chakra healing technique you can use any time to promote healing in your body.
You can use this method before or after a session of meditation. You can also use it while running for a bus or driving in your car. This natural healing technique is utterly simple and surprisingly effective. Of course, if you want to get more involved with its complexities, you can. But for now, let’s keep it nice and simple.
It is based on the resonance between two powerful waves of energy that you can easily activate in your awareness. As powerful as any one modality may be in the self-healing toolbox, when you skillfully combine two resonant tools, you increase your results exponentially.
1 – The Root Chakra
We begin with the energy of the root chakra. This energy center is located at the base of your spine – or more specifically, at the base of your torso. This is not a physical structure but a constellation of energy. Like the magnetic field around a magnet, your root chakra also exerts an invisible force. This chakra represents an energetic vortex of influence in the root region of your body consciousness.
Begin this simple process by focusing your attention on this area of your body – the base of the torso. As you do this, realize that it is not your body you are activating. You are awakening this region of your consciousness.

When I get so many emails about something, I take notice.
Thanks to all who wrote to me about the Joe Vitale Ho’oponopono video.
I’m so glad that was meaningful for you.
In that talk he introduced you to Dr. Hew Len.

02/09 LAW of ATTRACTION "RESULTS" WORKSHOP
[mc src=”http://blogaudio.s3.amazonaws.com/yofa-blog-peace.mp3″/]
I wonder if you’ve been feeling any of the craziness of information overload like I have been lately. I can be calm one minute and then as soon as things get complicated where I thought they’d be simple, or there are just too many buttons to push to get to a live operator, or something just takes me to my limit, I kind of snap. I hate to admit it but there are a couple of tech support people who I’ll be doing Ho’oponopono about for quite a while (I love you. I’m sorry…).
Anyway, that’s why I decided to make the February Results Workshop about finding your sweet focus and your balanced inner alignment in the face of the multitude of details that we face day after day.
I figured this would be of value to others and I knew this exploration would be helpful to me.
What I hadn’t anticipated was the intense shift that would happen in me after the workshop.
During the live call one of the very generous participants put his life on display and gave us an enormous gift. Because the unfolding that came from his sharing, there was an opening of the door, at least in me, to a heightened awareness of the Divinity in everything.
The dish towel.
The plastic spoon I use to scoop out the dog food.
The chair.
The garbage pail.
I have heard it said, “There is no spot where God is not.” Well, somehow that experience was awakened in me about a day after the workshop. Funny how these things happen in ways that I certainly cannot explain.
And if you know me, you know I really love explaining things. But sometimes I know to just leave it alone.
I hope you enjoy the video that I’ve placed here on this post. I thought it was the most perfect display of turning information overload into a graceful work of art.
You can still get the 3 audio segments of the workshop plus the mp3 of the call that went on for over 2 hours.
