While reading several different explanations of Ho’oponopono, I couln’t help but notice the similarity between Ho’oponopono and EFT. First of all read these descriptions of Ho’oponopono and EFT ..

From Beyond Traditional Means: Ho’oponopono

How does Ho’oponopono work? Morrnah explains, “We are the sum total of our experiences, which is to say that we are burdened by our pasts. When we experience stress or fear in our lives, if we would look carefully, we would find that the cause is actually a memory. It is the emotions which are tied to these memories which affect us now. The subconscious associates an action or person in the present with something that happened in the past. When this occurs, emotions are activated and stress is produced.” She continues, “The main purpose of this process is to discover the Divinity within oneself. The Ho’oponopono is a profound gift which allows one to develop a working relationship with the Divinity within and learn to ask that in each moment, our errors in thought, word, deed or action be cleansed. The process is essentially about freedom, complete freedom from the past.”.

From What is EFT?

What is EFT(Emotional Freedom Technique).. is an emotional version of acupuncture except needles aren’t necessary. Instead, you stimulate well established energy meridian points on your body by tapping on them with your fingertips…”Our unresolved negative emotions are major contributors to most physical pains and diseases.”…….. once you have seen how well EFT clears out emotional debris…”

As you can see, both techniques are focused on creating freedom from past emotional baggage. With Ho’oponopono you repeat the following phrases I love you, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank You. With EFT, you start with a neutralizing affirmation; Even though I have this _____________, I deeply and completely accept myself.

What about the law of Attraction?

The Law of Attraction has three steps.

1) Identify your desire - What you want.

2) Give your energy, attention and focus on what you want and

3) Allow the Law of Attraction to work - no limiting beliefs or negative vibrations. Believe and Allow.

Its in the third step, allowing, that Ho’oponopono and EFT, come into play.

When we are having difficulty with the Law of Attraction, when we are having difficulty believing and allowing what we are manifesting, when its not feeling right, then its time to look at clearing some of the emotions and beliefs that are holding us back.

Will Ho’oponopono and EFT really work? Try it and see. If it works, that great. What do you have to lose, except a few limiting beliefs?
