The Forgiveness Process

– Ho’oponopono

—Dr. Sami Bati and Caterina Ranieri

NEXT MEETING: NOVEMBER 16, 2019

“A Glimpse of India”

- Rosemary Thompson

• Imagine coming to a place of forgiveness in your heart for anything that has hurt for far too long.

• Imagine forgiving a past wrong, a 20-year-old grudge, a misunderstanding. Imagine com-ing to terms with a person who passed on before you could ex-press your final wishes.

• Imagine a process that creates a brand-new rela-tionship with those whom you love and cherish, free of the past, with unlimited future.

• Imagine that the process to achieve this place of peace and freedom from the past takes only minutes, and you can do it at any time, any place. This is Ho’oponopono - the forgiveness process that frees you from the past and allows you to move forward in harmony and love with others. Sami and Caterina together will walk you through the process of Ho’oponopono. Come enjoy an evening learning about Sami and Caterina’s studies of Huna and how they became practitioners of Ho’oponopono. Sami – 978-697-1163 Caterina 315-420-8101

WHAT IS HO’OPONOPONO AND HOW DOES IT HELP?

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice still in use today. It is well known for the miracle it does

in clearing negativity from one’s mind. It is believed to be designed to wipe out all the negativity in our

thoughts and those blocks that are keeping us miserable. There are a large number of us who don’t have

the luxury of enjoying peace, harmony or joy forever in our lives. It is believed that external negativity

plays a role and we are saddled right from our birth. This Hawaiian technique has been specifically de-

signed to remove all the stress and negativity from your mind and let us enjoy eternal happiness forever.

It is a simple technique in which you ask for forgiveness and purifying yourself. There are four phrases,

or steps, that the practitioner can follow. The magical healing starts from within. This practice makes

you realize that you are responsible for everything that happens to you and that is in your mind. Once

you realize this, it becomes easy for you to start practicing the steps.

1. The first step asks you to say you are sorry for everything that has happened or any wrong thing that you have witnessed. It

makes it easy for you to move ahead in your life once you know this and have the courage to say sorry for anything that was

wrong,. You will feel better.

2. The second step requires you to ask for forgiveness. You will be seeking forgiveness for everything you felt sorry for in the first step.

While doing so, you are asking to forgive everything from you and your past memories that may have been involved in the wrong doing.

These may sound weird for many of us but once you mean what you say, the process is magical.

3. The third step is showing your gratitude for everything that has happened in your life. You will learn to appreciate everything, both big

and small in your life. This step will help you to have patience as well.

4. The last step that you need to follow is to show your love and say I love you to everything that is yours. This way you will learn to love

everything related to you.

The Ho’oponopono theory of magic can be elaborated further with the effect that each step has on

you. It makes you stronger and gives you the courage to face the truth and tell the truth. You will feel

better when you know that your request for the forgiveness has been granted and people are going to

trust you again. Those who have the courage to see their mistakes and seek forgiveness are the suc-

cessful ones. Live your life with no grudges and you

will be much happier. You must show your apprecia-

tion for what you have Life is not just about yourself

but everyone and everything that is connected to you

as well. Once you are a regular practitioner of this

process, you know that life is more about having faith

and courage to accept and face the truth. You will

never feel the pressure of hiding the bad side of you;

rather, you will learn to express what you want to de-

part from your life. You will be living a stress-free life

with no regrets.

Processed Water Like Processed Food Is Bad For You--The Karma of Water

—Madis Senner

In a world where everything has karma, everything really does carry karma, and that includes water. I mention this because a recent research report 'Cumulative risk analysis of carcinogenic contaminants in United States drinking water' found that tap water could be responsible for over a 100,000 cases of can-cer. Saying: "The majority of this risk is due to the presence of arsenic, disinfection byproducts and radioactive con-taminants."

Noting that an,

"Estimated cancer cases due to disinfection byproducts and arsenic account for 87% of the total num-ber of cases." So the bulk of the problem rests with how the water was treated and natural occurring arsenic. In oth-er words, the processing of water involves contaminates which can kill you over time. I think that this is the tip of the iceberg and that there are many more problems associated with drinking processed water, because the water retains a memory off how it was treated (karma). Before I continue let me say that removing living organisms and contaminants from water is a good thing and may be necessary for many drinking waters.

Water that has been treated, possibly with chemicals, is processed water. It took decades before we realized that eating processed foods was bad for your health. Drinking processed water is similarly bad for your health. The study suggested you should buy a simple brita water filter; so that should work. Yes, if you have really bad water. Otherwise no: it will create more problems. As I said in Everything Has Karma:

"Anything you consume is going to retain a memory of its treatment and where it's been. Drink processed water or eat processed food and it will similarly ravage you. As we are taught "Do unto others as we wish others to do unto us," whatever has been done to what we consume will be done to us."Page 206,

Consider distilled water that has been super processed and cleansed of all contaminates, organ-isms, nutrients energies, etc...People drink distilled water to remove metals, chemicals and the like from their body. In other words, drinking distilled water that has been highly processed will similarly pro-cess you and leach your body of minerals, nutrients and more; doing to you what has been done to it. Distilled water has been processed so powerfully that it corrodes metal piping. Imagine what it could do to your gut's microbiome. Your home water purifier is creating a milder version of distilled water. Because it like distilled water re-tains a memory (karma) of what has been done to it

. The larger problem created by drinking processed water (whether it is tap water, home water treatments (reverse osmosis filters, Britta filters and the like) is that it is going to attack your gut's microbiome and kill some of your gut's bacteria, flora. Your gut's microbiome is critical to our health.

As I have written about on several occasions. :You need to drink living water: Raw Water, Spring Water Living Water Living Water, or Primary Water Tap Water Better Than Bottled Water--Consumer Reports I am so passionate about the importance of drinking living water karma of water that I dedicated a whole chapter to it in Everything Has Karma.

One final note about the karma of water. Homeopathy relies upon water to retain a memory (karma) of its contact with the remedy. Through the process of potentiation homeopaths dilute the remedy with water so much that almost none of it is left. In fact, it is believed that the more diluted the remedy the stronger it is. SO THE HEALING PROCESS OF HOMEOPATHY RELIES ON THE MEMORY OF WATER FROM CONTACT WITH THE REMEDY TO AFFECT A CURE. WHAT DO YOU THINK WATER THAT HAS BEEN LEACHED OF ALL ITS MINERALS, NUTRIENTS, AND MORE AND HAS BEEN IMPRINTED WITH A POWERFUL CLEANING/DESTRUCTIVE FORCE WILL DO TO YOUR MICROBIOME? DRINK LIVING WATER.

…..Joan Cerio did a lot of work in preparation for her very serious talk about changes to come to our Earth in the fu-ture. Since we had to change venues at the last minute, there was no screen and video equipment available. Joan printed out on chart paper her notes for us. The page to the right lists the ways to ride the waves of change that inevita-bly will come: STAY HEART FOCUSED; STAY IN YOUR CENTER; STAY OUT OF THE CHAOS; FOLLOW YOUR

INTUITION; SET INTENTION; PAY ATTENTION; BE IN YOUR INTEGRITY; EX-PRESS YOUR CREATIVITY; BE AUTHENTIC; SET CLEAR BOUNDARIES; BE SELF-EMPOWERED.

……….Jimbo Talbot will be offering another course at OASIS this Fall. He gave

us a wonderful taste of his captivating meditation experience at the 40th Anniver-

sary Gala. His classes harness the innate power of sound to heal your body, clear

your mind and renew your spirit. Quite a few of us attended his class at OASIS a

few weeks ago. Here is the info on the next class: “Winter Solstice Sound Heal-

ing: The Sounds of Silence.” #509, Wednesday, December 18th, 11:00-

12:30. ($15)

…..…..Sue Savion and Joe Thompson celebrated Joe’s birthday and retirement (which happened on the same day , August 30th, by taking a Carnival Cruise to the Caribbean. We visited the Grand Caymans (swimming with stingrays and en-joying giant turtles), Mahogany Island (Honduras) where we snorkeled and inter-

acted with monkeys and colorful birds, Belize where we climbed the many steps to the top of a Mayan temple, and Cozumel, where we tasted some delicious Tequila! The shows and comedi-ans, the food and service on board were great. All the tour guides —several were actual Mayans—were wonderful. But the best one was the Argen-tinian gentleman who gave us a wonderful bus tour of Miami before we had to depart for the airport. Now Joe is adjusting to retirement, doing a lot of yard work and learning a different sleep pattern!
