Father’s Day: a message of thanks

Today, I write to that new breed of father, the man who grew up believing that fatherhood was all about authority — lecturing, dictating, and punishing the bad behaviors of children. Now, free of prejudice and the old tapes he has carried for so long, today’s new father is content to simply be a happy man.

Today, I say thank you to every father who discovered that he doesn’t need to be perfect, and the greatest gift he can give his children is love.

Our world is constantly changing. Women have been experiencing this change for years. Fortunately, men are now daring to be part of it. While the 21st Century father also has many responsibilities, he now gives thanks for each one of them, knowing these challenges will lead his family to a richer life. Today’s father measures success by how good a husband he is, a son, a friend, a worker…a father. It is a yardstick that brings him more joy. It is a good place to be.

Of course, this new outlook will also bring many new challenges. Today’s father must learn to be authentic and balanced, and to realize that home life isn’t about competing with your partner; it’s about working with your partner — from love and respect — so that they can set an example for your children.

We are long past the days when a father returns from work, listens to the day’s actions of his children and then, like a judge, dispenses punishment for the naughtiest child. Phrases like “wait until your father comes home” should be left in the past, along with that stereotypical and paternalistic image of a serious and judgmental man.

A father can (and should) be vulnerable, happy and funny — just like his children. He can do his work, live in the busy world AND smile, cry, skip, dance, sing, and laugh.

Men are starting to be part of the change. They are losing their old tapes and prejudices about what they will say or how they will act and starting to discover their true identity — living in the present, thankful, trusting, and willing to permit themselves to be happy. In short, they are connecting and living in what I call Zero Frequency®.

It is a beautiful thing that today’s fathers don’t want to be left behind. It requires them to become more open and flexible because they know that the only thing that is constant in life is change. This evolving mentality brings them a new masculinity which will transform and change society so that men and women will end competition and begin living in peace and harmony.

I have been blessed to be a witness to this change. It used to be that my seminars were attended mostly by women. But, today, that too has changed. Every seminar, more and more men are sitting in my audience. Most of them are parents. I enjoy seeing how they manage to connect with each subject that we talk about, and the way they participate without fear to reveal a deeper part of who they are.

They each know — what more men are discovering — that a man is not a better father by pretending toughness, courage or insensitivity, or by what the world visibly sees.

He is a better father because of what he carries inside his heart — a strength that lives beyond what the eye or mind can comprehend.

He is a better father because he can trust and let go; because he is always responsible and grateful for everything in his life.

He is a better father because he can forgive, feel, and love, always seeking happiness for himself and his family.

Happy Father’s Day. Thank you for your gift to the world.

With love,

Lessons from the children of the world: joy, peace and purity of heart

The moment we are born, we are each bestowed a great gift. It is our birthright — given to one and all, regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic status. This gift is peace and joy, and we should protect it with our lives, never allowing anyone to take it away from us.

And if you think that can’t happen, think again.

Today, these rights are in more jeopardy than ever before. Civil and political discord, wars, violence, hatred, along with global dissatisfaction and frustration, is making the world more unhappy every day. Our right to peace and joy is disappearing before our eyes, especially for our children, who often feel helpless to do anything about it. But the truth is, it is our own internal conflicts, memories, opinions, beliefs, and need to be right or to have the last word, which is making us unhappy — taking away our joy and peace.

Fortunately, all around us are reminders on how we can restore balance to our lives. Of course, I am talking about the children of the world. They are the only reminders we need.

Two months ago, during a visit to Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico, I had the opportunity to meet the children of Casa Taller. These were street kids who come from dysfunctional families, many with addictions and abuse. During the presentation, I asked them a question. “What would you like to say to the adults?”

One of them looked at me and smiled, “I would tell them to pursue their dreams.” He then added, “I want to be a robotics teacher.”

I looked at him and said, “If you believe it, you can do it. Our power is in how we think. If we say we can, we can.”

The innocence and nature of a child is marked by its essence. They see the world differently; they have a different programming than ours. We must learn from them — to trust their hearts, their intuition, and their inspiration. If we do this, we will have children who will believe in themselves and can create a better world.

We must begin to see life as a child sees it — no judgments, no opinions, no limiting beliefs, where all our thoughts are pure and in the moment. I call this Zero Frequency®, which is where we must all strive to be. Children already have this connection; they see life with that color and freedom from which we have slowly been moving away. Now is our time to get back to that same frequency.

Unfortunately, as we get older, we start to listen more and more to that “voice of reason.” What we really need to do is follow a child’s lead and, once again, believe that anything is possible. There is a line in the book, The Diary of Anne Frank, which says, “While you can look at the sky without fear, you will know that you are pure inside and that whatever happens you will be happy again.” This girl lived the horror of the Holocaust but never lost her connection to her essence.

Each child is special and has unique talents, natural gifts, and a perfect rhythm. It is our duty to help our children recover and preserve those innate qualities. It is also our duty to emulate them. Children can appreciate who they are. They don’t get carried away by what others say, and they know they don’t have to be perfect. They can also forgive easily and have the courage to follow their passion.

Children do not come to our life just to learn; they come to teach us. Let’s capture their essence, then set our own example on how to live a good life. We can start by taking 100% responsibility for our lives. We can stop blaming, stop taking things so personally, and stop worrying so much. We can also let go of the victim mentality. And, of course, we can show them that all problems are a step towards freedom and that everything happens for a reason. Everything is perfect, and we can only call something a failure if we did not learn from it. We can show them that all problems are a blessing that help us to grow; they make us stronger. All we have to do is relax, breathe and say, “thank you.”

If we can show them this, we will also have learned their greatest lesson as well, which is to hold on tight to joy, peace, and purity of heart.

After all, it is our birthright.

With love,

The power of women to build lasting peace

The Network of Colombian singers is a group of powerful women who use Colombian music as a tool to preserve their culture and promote peace. For several years, they have managed to attract young people from different communities who have been torn apart by the armed conflict in Colombia — a country which finds itself a long way from peace.

This is an example of the power that women have when they awaken to discover their true selves, along with their unique talents and gifts. If women follow their hearts, they can do wonderful things for others, while becoming the leading architects of peace in our world.

A month ago, during my tour in Chiapas, Mexico, I met with the indigenous artisan women from the Kip Tik shop, a very talented group who, through their art and creativity, have managed to connect with the sensibility and power that characterizes all women. These women are not only wonderful examples for their daughters and their community, but they show us all how art and creativity can unite and empower us all.

Intellects know how to create wars; they don’t know how to create peace. Our society needs to connect more with the heart, which is why women must begin to rediscover their power and learn how to use it in order to create a sustainable peace for all.

To do this, women must begin to rely more on their own intrinsic way of seeing things — using their perception and creativity. And especially their sixth sense. Unfortunately, women can limit themselves with the fear that comes when they are afraid to express the things they know and believe. We may all have solutions, but we don’t always share them, because we don’t trust ourselves, or maybe because we can’t explain how we know certain things. Our knowingness often goes beyond explanation.

It is safe to say that it is a little easier for women to connect with emotions than men, and to perceive situations in a different and more unique way.

Ultimately, women’s meaningful participation will consolidate peace. This is verifiable and real. When the resolution of conflict seeks lasting peace, we need the intervention and opinions of women. According to the UN, women’s meaningful participation in a peace process increases the likelihood that an agreement will last for more than 15 years, in no less than 35% of the cases.

This is true because a woman’s energy is more subtle and tends to consider the “whole” rather than the “parts,” as well as the sustainability of the desired result rather than the punctual and immediate success. Of course, this does not mean that men cannot use their power gently, but women, even coming from different cultures, all agree that there are differences, neither better nor worse, simply different from that of a man. It’s not about feminism, it’s about the natural talents that women have. We must awaken these talents so that it will lead us to discover our true selves and help us all contribute to the end of conflict and the beginning of lasting peace.

Although many remarkable women have been able to lead peace movements and drive the recovery of many communities, there is still a significant absence of women present in peace negotiations.

Women have proven to be agents of change and peace and should strive to seek out opportunities to continue working to achieve this goal. And to be clear, it is not necessary to be in the midst of a conflict or a war to work toward peace. We can continue to bring peace and happiness to our lives, which in turn will bring peace and happiness to our families, our communities, and the world. We just have to trust ourselves.

Use your Mind wisely

Dr. Jerry Jesseph said: “Peacefulness should be the place we begin rather than the place we try to achieve.”

Yes, Peace should be our starting point and I had a very nice surprise in New York and Miami where we had a full house, which means that a lot of people are realizing this, and looking to attract more peace and happiness in their life. People are tired of looking in the wrong places. I really couldn't believe the response.

In an interview I did in Miami, I shared that through my experience, I believe that the USA is not ready yet. Some people called the radio show and actually got mad at me for saying that, I was only referring to "spiritually"!. I love this country and I am grateful for everything it gave me, including my spiritual awakening.

I am currently back in Los Angeles, but not for long. Tuesday I will be on my way to South America. Starting with Chile, were we are oversold, but we've decided to rent another room in the hotel with a camera and a screen to transmit simultaneously so that we don't leave anybody out.

I am happy to announce that my book "Maluhia, the Happy City" is now available for pre-order. If you reserve your copy now, you also get a 30% discount on all my digital products. Best of all, you don’t have to wait to start reading—you can claim the first two FREE chapters here and enjoy them NOW. Why wait to be happy?

If you are a follower of my teachings—if you’ve read my books or heard me speak—you know how often I talk of letting go, trusting, and allowing life to be guided by our heart. I believe inspiration is a magical part of who we are. It is our higher self—all-knowing and wise. I also think if we follow our heart, it will lead us to all the peace and abundance we could want. Sometimes that heart is leading us right back to the brain. After all, the mind is one of the universe’s most magnificent and powerful creations. We should use it wisely.

It is not only the vehicle by which make all our choices, but home to the personal responsibility we must take to discover our true Divinity.

There is an old quote that says, “the brain is a wonderful servant, but a horrible master.” It is true. We all know how the mind can take us into dark corners—stress, worry, and negative thinking, along with replaying old tapes, living in the past, and longing for the future. It can do all of this because the brain is powerful beyond measure. But, here is the other side of that coin: we can deliberately choose to have much more power over what’s going on inside our brain than we ever imagined. We can turn our brain into a toolthat will make our lives run easier and happier than ever before. If we use our minds wisely, they can bring us closer to God, truth and all the abundance we desire.

Let me show you how in this month’s Q&A topic:

Taking control of your mind begins by taking responsibility for the circumstances in your life, which includes all those seemingly negative events, which can be transformed into valuable life lessons. Control of the mind is like putting yourself in the driver’s seat—owning your power. And in our crazy world that is spinning faster and faster, owning your power is more important than ever. The secret to mastering the mind is simple: the more you are aware of how you are influencing the energies around you, the more you control what comes your way.

We must learn to harness this power of the mind for our growth and good health, so that we may become who we were destined to become. We must use the brain for what it was truly intended—a more peaceful and meaningful life. A more awakened life.

Open your mind and join me as we take back control of our minds and discover the power within. Take control how you choose to think and feel about things.

Your life will never be the same.

Maluhia, the Happy City

I just returned from Miami and I'm so happy and excited about this trip. Both the Conference and my Seminar were great opportunities to clean and return to Zero. Thank you all for your love and commitment. We could feel the strength and power of your inspiration.

An interesting thing happened. During the Saturday seminar, someone channeled Morrnah Simeona and conveyed a warm message of gratitude for the work we were doing.

It is a good reminder for us all to not wait for something terrible to happen before we move to change our lives. Let’s not wait to reach rock bottom to begin our quest for Happiness, Peace and Freedom. We all have something important to do. A purpose to fulfill. Sometimes the universe gives us a gentle push which drives us to find the way, but only if we listen.

The people of Maluhia—the protagonists of my new book—know the secret to be happy, to have better health and live in peace. Thousands of tourists visit this coastal city because they want to know how to live that way too. What makes it even more special is that the city's tour guides are the children! Who better to show us the way. After all, they already live and apply the principles of Hoʻoponopono.

Today I am happy to announce that my book "Maluhia, the Happy City" is now available for pre-order. If you reserve your copy now, you also get a 30% discount on all my digital products. Best of all, you don’t have to wait to start reading—you can claim the first two FREE chapters here and enjoy them NOW. Why wait to be happy?

I'm sure that if you visit Maluhia enough, you will find yourself living in your own paradise. Could you imagine? I know I can.

(The book will be shipped around July 15, 2019)

In a few days my tour will continue through the cities of Santiago de Chile, Bogota, Montevideo and Buenos Aires.

My English presentations will be this fall in Europe. We will publish the schedule soon.

I hope to see you soon on this beautiful path of transformation!

With love,

Maluhia, the Happy City

Happy mothers raise happy children

When it comes to being a mother, there is no manual. Sure, you could read books, but for the most part, there is no training or preparation to help you do your job. It’s easy to be resentful, too. For many, motherhood is an obligation or even a burden. And then there are all the pressure mothers put on themselves to be perfect. It’s no wonder that so many mothers spend much of their day distressed and complaining. It’s a tough job. But, here’s the problem: if we live our lives trying to be perfect, we end up sending this same message to our children — that they must also be perfect. We make them live under the same pressure. The truth is, they don’t want a perfect mother; they want a happy mother.

As mothers (and fathers) it is very important that we be ourselves in our children’s presence — genuine and vulnerable — students of life.

You must understand that your children do not listen to you; they observe you. Your duty is to be happy and in peace. The days of burden and sacrifice are over. Putting your children first doesn’t work anymore. It doesn’t work for you, and it certainly doesn’t work for them. You have to put yourself first and take good care of you! Do that, and your children will be OK. They will also grow up learning how to take care of themselves, which is what you wanted all along.

Years ago, before finding the way to Hoʻoponopono, I lived a bitter life; despite having everything that a person thinks they need to be happy. One day, my eldest son, who at that time was 9 years old, spoke to me in the same way that I always did — angry. That moment was like a jolt; I woke up and saw myself. My son was my mirror, and the attitude that he had was a reflection of mine.

At that moment I told myself, “Mabel, you must do something.” It was right then that I started my search for happiness — to work on myself, regain my self-esteem, and start following my dreams. I attended several seminars and spiritual workshops. I also read a lot, until soon I was able to reconnect with myself.

That was a gift to my soul. It was also the best gift I could give my son. I showed him (through my own actions) how someone can change, no matter their age, sex, or religion. I showed him that life depends on the decisions we make moment by moment.

When I learned Hoʻoponopono, I learned about responsibility. In this ancient Hawaiian art, we always speak of taking 100% responsibility, which is not the same as guilt, but knowing that everything in our world is inside of us — our subconscious is attracting it, and only when we change, will our world change.

I always say that parenting can be easier if we realize that we do not need to be perfect. If we simply chose to become happy mothers. We need to work on ourselves, to let go and hand our children to God and the Universe. We need to trust. Remember, you brought them into the world to become your teachers. They are not here for you to teach them. They are here to give you another chance. Your kids already know, they are just waiting for you to realize it.

As mothers, we are always looking to give everything to our children, and not just material things, but all our time and effort. We believe we have to sacrifice our lives for them. In truth, the best thing we can do is guide them spiritually, with love and inspiration. Our mission is to train children to be happy, not professionals.

I always thought it was important to teach my kids that all life is the consequences of our choices, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions. We all have free choice, and that we are all choosing 24 hours a day. This is what it means to be 100% responsible. I also liked to show them that changing their life does not depend on the family that they were born to, or the words and thoughts they receive from those around them, or if they had money or education. I wanted them to know that their future depends on what they do with their life.

Being happy and teaching my children about responsibility and freedom of choice has been the greatest gift that I have been able to give to them.

To all the wonderful Moms who are with me today, I encourage you to let go of your children — hand them over to God and then trust. The worst thing you can do is worry or stress over your kids. Use the language of love and encourage them to do what they love. Help them discover their unique talents.

It is time to stop being a victim and make the decision to be happy — to live in the present and with trust in the Universe. Do this, and you will see your children begin to change before your eyes, discovering for themselves the right path toward peace and happiness. What more could a mother want?

Happy Mother’s Day!

Love,

It is time to stop being a victim and make the decision to be happy — to live in the present and with trust in the Universe. Do this, and you will see your children begin to change before your eyes, discovering for themselves the right path toward peace and happiness. What more could a mother want?

Happy Mother’s Day!

Love,

When it comes to being a mother, there is no manual. Sure, you could read books, but for the most part, there is no training or preparation to help you do your job. It’s easy to be resentful, too. For many, motherhood is an obligation or even a burden. And then there are all the pressure mothers put on themselves to be perfect. It’s no wonder that so many mothers spend much of their day distressed and complaining. It’s a tough job. But, here’s the problem: if we live our lives trying to be perfect, we end up sending this same message to our children — that they must also be perfect. We make them live under the same pressure. The truth is, they don’t want a perfect mother; they want a happy mother.

As mothers (and fathers) it is very important that we be ourselves in our children’s presence — genuine and vulnerable — students of life.

You must understand that your children do not listen to you; they observe you. Your duty is to be happy and in peace. The days of burden and sacrifice are over. Putting your children first doesn’t work anymore. It doesn’t work for you, and it certainly doesn’t work for them. You have to put yourself first and take good care of you! Do that, and your children will be OK. They will also grow up learning how to take care of themselves, which is what you wanted all along.

Years ago, before finding the way to Hoʻoponopono, I lived a bitter life; despite having everything that a person thinks they need to be happy. One day, my eldest son, who at that time was 9 years old, spoke to me in the same way that I always did — angry. That moment was like a jolt; I woke up and saw myself. My son was my mirror, and the attitude that he had was a reflection of mine.

At that moment I told myself, “Mabel, you must do something.” It was right then that I started my search for happiness — to work on myself, regain my self-esteem, and start following my dreams. I attended several seminars and spiritual workshops. I also read a lot, until soon I was able to reconnect with myself.

That was a gift to my soul. It was also the best gift I could give my son. I showed him (through my own actions) how someone can change, no matter their age, sex, or religion. I showed him that life depends on the decisions we make moment by moment.

When I learned Hoʻoponopono, I learned about responsibility. In this ancient Hawaiian art, we always speak of taking 100% responsibility, which is not the same as guilt, but knowing that everything in our world is inside of us — our subconscious is attracting it, and only when we change, will our world change.

I always say that parenting can be easier if we realize that we do not need to be perfect. If we simply chose to become happy mothers. We need to work on ourselves, to let go and hand our children to God and the Universe. We need to trust. Remember, you brought them into the world to become your teachers. They are not here for you to teach them. They are here to give you another chance. Your kids already know, they are just waiting for you to realize it.

As mothers, we are always looking to give everything to our children, and not just material things, but all our time and effort. We believe we have to sacrifice our lives for them. In truth, the best thing we can do is guide them spiritually, with love and inspiration. Our mission is to train children to be happy, not professionals.

I always thought it was important to teach my kids that all life is the consequences of our choices, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions. We all have free choice, and that we are all choosing 24 hours a day. This is what it means to be 100% responsible. I also liked to show them that changing their life does not depend on the family that they were born to, or the words and thoughts they receive from those around them, or if they had money or education. I wanted them to know that their future depends on what they do with their life.

Being happy and teaching my children about responsibility and freedom of choice has been the greatest gift that I have been able to give to them.

To all the wonderful Moms who are with me today, I encourage you to let go of your children — hand them over to God and then trust. The worst thing you can do is worry or stress over your kids. Use the language of love and encourage them to do what they love. Help them discover their unique talents.
