Do you believe in Family Peace? Support LA families!

Aloha my friend,

Have you ever been in conflict with a family member? 

You know, the kind where your parent or child just seemed to be on an opposite planet and you couldn't seem to reach each other?

It’s not a good feeling.

But the good news is that there is a way to bring peace into family life. When parents learn how to take care of themselves and let go of trying to be perfect they are better positioned to raise happy children. Happy parents make happy children!

This is why I am working with parents and children in Los Angeles on October 3rd - to help families create peace and celebrate the individuals.

We need to start with the children because we cannot allow them to go through what we went through. If they are happy, they will create happy communities, happy schools, happy businesses and happy and peaceful worlds. If they love and accept themselves, they will be able to love and accept others. If they know they do not need to be perfect, and that they are unique and special the way they are, they will admire differences, appreciate diversity and respect others.

So I invite you to invest in our future in 2 ways.... 

1. If you are IN Los Angeles: 

Bring your family to the all day workshop on October 3rd. Get your family ticket before we sell out here: http://bit.ly/1XsMhPS

2. If you are NOT IN Los Angeles:

Sponsor a family who does not have the money to attend but desperately needs this support. We are reserving some spaces for low-income families. Click the donation button and contribute on this page: http://bit.ly/1XsMhPS (the family ticket price is $50 but all donations are appreciated)

You can also forward this email to your family and friends in Los Angeles so they can get this support!

Thank you for investing in the future with me!

Ho'oponopono, The magic of meeting face to face

Aloha my friend!

I couldn’t have had a better birthday gift than spending a week in Puerto Vallarta with my sons, nephews, grandnephews, and some good friends. My friend Laura asked me, “How do you want to start your birthday?” I didn’t have to think too much, I said “Dancing!” And that’s how it started…

This really was a gift for my soul. My heart is still very open and full of joy! 

I can already feel the face to face transformation that will happen this week at my spiritual retreat in Mount Shasta. I’m looking forward to sharing very special moments with an intimate group. Just being surrounded by people who are tuned into the same healing energy, changes you.

I have had very important personal growth moments in Mt Shasta. How could I forget about the experience in the Sweat Lodge? Also, it's where I first heard about Dr. Ihaleakalá and I decided to go and take my first Ho’oponopono seminar in Omaha, Nebraska. Magic really happens when you show up to your spirits calling!

Now, I have great news for you…

You can meet me face to face at my new event in Los Angeles that brings families, parents and youth ages 10-16 together! If you are near by or if you know someone in the Los Angeles area, please share the opportunity to connect, because this is a real gift of peace and happiness for the entire family and their community. 

I am also happy because at the end of this month, I get another chance to teach a seminar in Tijuana for the first time ever. Then I’ll be at home for a month to have the chance to work on my new book before going on my European tour: Bucharest, Budapest, Moscow, Madrid, Tel Aviv, Belgrade and Zagreb!

Now, you have no excuses. Where will I see you face to face?

Ho'oponopono, You won't believe the sign I got...

Aloha my friend,

Ahh I'm still reminiscing on my secret getaway!! If you follow my Facebook Page you might have seen me post about being on a beach to treat myself and work on my next book. Here's a picture of the beautiful ocean that helped to purify me once again.

There were also these majestic rock formations that seem to speak to my spirit. Before I could leave, I had to go back and say goodbye. I asked God for a sign of what I needed to take away, and a long tailed lizard and a swarm of crabs showed up. My heart was so full of love receiving these little messengers from God. It was hard to leave! 

But eventually I said thank you, I love you and goodbye, and started walking away. I quickly turned to look one last time, and they were gone…

Nature leads to God. God is hidden in Nature. First, be natural. Then you will be flowing in the river of the natural. And one day the river will fall into the ocean of the supernatural. -Osho

It is impossible to be separated from your natural source, which is LOVE. So we have to remember not to look for love outside of ourselves, because love is what YOU ARE. Many of us have forgotten this so that's why I decided to make my monthly Q&A call this topic: LOVE: Beyond the fantasy.

The class is this coming Thursday and my sacred members have already been emailing some juicy questions about this so I look forward to the teleclass this coming Thursday. Get your ticket ASAP to join us since the cleaning starts when you sign up HERE

Excited to see you on the call!

A prison experience to "Discover Prosperity Within" Tomorrow

Aloha my friend,

When I presented Ho’oponopono in a prison in Argentina, one of the inmates shared a story about a near death experience. He told me that he was taken to a hospital with his gallbladder punctured by a bullet and having no heart beat. He was considered dead.  Then all he remembered was that he woke up and there was a policeman next to him that told him: “You have another opportunity now, you can make different choices, it is all up to you.” He recovered and survived to tell this story.

Then he told me that everything I had told them was in the Bible and asked permission to read something from the Bible to me and his fellow inmates. We all said yes. While he was reading, suddenly inspiration hit me and I had to tell him, “You chose to come back, so that means you still have something important to do. And that policeman was actually an Angel that showed up to remind you.” My message really got to him and he responded by saying, “I know, I have never seen that policeman again. I could never find him.”

He also shared that his life sentence was reduced to 30 years, then to 15 and that her Mom was at that same moment in Court, discussing his case with the Judge. This shows you how cause and effect in from the inside out.

These opportunities have been heart opening to me: teaching men and women in prisons, speaking to autistic and Down syndrome children and their parents, deaf adults, presenting at psychiatric hospitals, etc. The thing that keep calling my attention the most, is the pure perception I have of them when I am there. Now I know what it is to see how God sees, with no opinions or judgments. Perfect just the way we all are.

One of the side effects of having a greater awareness of your reality (which is LOVE!) is a natural increase of your high self-esteem. And prosperity is the result of high self-esteem! So now is the time for us to change our perception of ourselves and others. With this shift, we will be able to enjoy the deep benefits of prosperity that is our birthright.

These experiences and epiphanies are so powerful that I decided to make the theme of this month’s Q&A call: “Discover Prosperity Within”

I look forward to having you on the call this Wednesday July 29th at 1p PST. Here is the link to RSVP: http://bit.ly/1IHOi06

To your expanded vision and prosperity,

Ho'oponopono and Love instead of fear programming

Aloha my friend!

I am staying longer in Argentina to celebrate both my mother’s 90th birthday as well as the wedding of one of my nieces. We added another Ho’oponopono seminar for those who could not attend our sold out event on Saturday, June 20th and for those who wanted to review the teachings in the seminar and keep re-programming their inner child as well as go deeper into the cleaning. 

Here in Argentina, besides presenting several conferences and seminars, I experienced very special opportunities to share with you. I presented to parents of autistic children as well as to a group of male prisoners in a jail in the city of La Plata.

Once a year, Dr. Ihaleakalá used present to teachers in Hawaii. One year a teacher raised her hand and asked, "Why is it that more money goes to prisons than to our schools?" When he heard the answer, he said to God: "No, I can’t say that. They will never invite me again!" Then he heard the voice that said, "Chicken." So he accessed his courage and answered, "All those people in prison now, passed through your schools first." That was hard for them to hear, and they never invited him again.

This is why I insist that our job is to raise happy children instead of professionals!

We are experiencing a paradigm shift, and it is imperative that we let go of our fear-based programming.

This coming Tuesday we remind ourselves how to love in the present moment, to consistently produce the results we look for because fear, by nature, inhibits performance.

Do we really want peace?

After my successful presentation with the inmates in the prison in Mexico last month, I was looking forward to continue visiting them every now and then, but when I arrived in Mexico this time, I was shocked when I learned that they didn’t want anyone else to talk to them. Their argument was, that the inmates were “too quiet” and they feared they were planning something.

The truth is that I found it hard to believe, but then I realized that the fact is we mistrust peace. We are even uncomfortable. Peace takes us out of our comfort zone, makes us feel doubtful and we don’t even know how to behave. In a way, we think that if we are in peace, surely something bad is going to happen.

Then I had the chance to talk in a preschool, where I discussed with the parents the fact that when our children are too quiet we go and check up on them to see what they are doing, because we are sure they are doing something bad. In the last seminar I presented in Mexico I asked the students: “Are you really sure that you are looking for peace?” We seriously have to question ourselves! Because we say we do, but we do not trust peace and, in a way, we are boycotting it; we even do the opposite of what peace requires. I think it is very important that we become aware of this.

The fact that preschoolers behaved so well, called my attention; there was peace in the air. I had also found this in a school for special children in Hungary –where there were autistic children and children with Down syndrome, etc. - In Hungary there was a teacher who practiced Ho’oponopono and her classroom was the quietest in all the school, even when her students were the ones with the biggest challenges in all school.

Well, in this preschool in Mexico, you could also feel that peace and happiness. The teachers are being trained in Ho’oponopono! They practice and share it with the children.

Besides visiting the classrooms where the children were, I also gave a talk to the parents. That’s how they found out what was going on in the school, they didn’t know! During that talk, a mother said that her son repeated “Thank you!” all the time. Many times, he also said “I’m sorry Mommy”. He was constantly with “Sorry” or “Thank you” in his mouth. The mother didn’t know where that behavior had come from, because he evidently hadn’t learned it from her! Another mother said that she noticed her daughter had changed her attitude, and that called her attention. Before, the girl used to fight a lot with her cousin because they both wanted to play with the same toy at the same time, and now, the girl showed respect and acceptance and she has a more generous attitude towards her cousin. It was like she realized that it was not worth it to fight or argue over that.

So, it’s very interesting to witness this; how the children perceive and learn it so easily and their attitudes change almost immediately. In this preschool, they implemented a very interesting practice to promote gratitude: from 11.00 to 11.11 am daily, they do “gratitude time”. It is during one of their breaks, and the kids have the choice to run to the microphone and share something they are grateful for. They told me that it’s amazing, because the children say even thank to the fly that passed by. So many things happen around us and we are not even aware. We are not paying attention!

It’s interesting to talk to the children, let them express themselves and let them teach us. For example, I asked the children who talked to the table and they all raised their hands. I asked what the table said to them, and one of the girls told me: “It tells me that I’m very pretty”. Then I made the essential question: Who had an imaginary friend? Of course, they all raised their hands and told me about their friends. One girl shared that her imaginary friend took her to visit other places and cities, she went flying with her friend; and she told us many details… These things are still amazing to me, and I talk about all this in my trainings. I’m so grateful for them opening, trusting and sharing all this with me.

In this trip to Mexico I also had the chance to present at Kadima, a Jewish institution that helps special children and adults with autism, down syndrome, etc. I also gave a presentation in a psychiatric hospital and in both places they made exactly the same comment: How was it possible that the audience kept so quiet, behaved so well and stayed during the whole presentation? The directors and caretakers couldn’t believe it. For example, in the psychiatric hospital they told me that there was a person who was always screaming very loud, and on this occasion he kept quiet the whole time… I say thank you God for having this effect, even on these special people.

In both places, Kadima and the psychiatric hospital, when I gave people the chance to share, those who shared more were the special ones. It was moving to see how they thanked, and the things they were thankful for. This makes me wonder: “Who are “the normal” ones? And who are really “ the specials”?” It’s worth questioning oneself a little.

In Kadima there was a girl who sat at the front and who wanted to talk and make comments all the time; even when I played a video, she insisted on knowing what the video was about.

That wanting to know beforehand, that wanting to understand, that lack of patience, it’s something that happens to all of us. We don’t live the moment, the now. We always want to know or anticipate the result, we worry and we don’t realize that the present moment and what happens in the now is all we have. I made her notice that tomorrow is not important, only the present moment, only the now is.

Later, I explained and I made her notice that tomorrow is not important, only the present moment, only the now is. She listened to me as if she was really getting it. She understood and from that moment on, she was more peaceful!

Both in the psychiatric hospital and in Kadima, they took the opportunity to thank their families, the people that took care of them, or life itself. It was amazing to witness this in people who, theoretically, have problems!

Finally, I gave a presentation in Mexico Sonríe, a foundation that helps children with cancer and their families. Once again, I had the chance to present and give hope. I gave them tools and helped them see that everything is perfect; that they can really start to see how God sees and not how they see, or how we all see (through our memories, opinions and judgements). I reminded them that God does not create anything that is not perfect.

In conclusion, this last trip to Mexico was another very special trip for me and my own self-growth. I thank God and Ho’oponopono because it lets me touch people and bring some peace to people in prison, in a psychiatric hospital, to a place with special people and to another place where people undergo difficult experiences, such as having a child with cancer. Thank you.

Memories on your screen determines your experience TODAY

Aloha my friend!

Even though science cannot locate the spiritual, we are entering an age where science is beginning to prove that the spiritual exists.

If believing has the biggest impact on brain function and health, it also means that it has the biggest impact on everything in your life. This is because your brain function affects everything.

A new paradigm for health, healing, and success, which has been predicted to happen for the last century, is happening right now. In fact, it's already here. Are you going to be stuck in your old paradigm, or will you follow the new?

"See you" today on the call.

Ho'oponopono, do you need scientific proof?

Aloha!

I'm again in Mexico and believe it or not, very soon I will be flying to South America. 

This coming Sunday, we will be cleaning here in Mexico and learning how to do it 24 hours a day.

Besides the Ho'oponopono Seminar, I will be presenting my new Seminar "The Easiest Way to Abundance, Peace and Happiness," in Lima, Bogota, and Buenos Aires. That way, we can let go of the past, be happy, stop replaying memories, and open the doors to abundance. 

Afterwards, I will be flying to Santiago, Chile, where I will be presenting Ho'oponopono and Zero Frequency. 

In South America I will have the chance to get together with family and friends and I'm very excited for the opportunity to be in Chile again, since I wasn't there last year.

"Life in itself is an empty canvas, it becomes whatsoever you paint on it.  You can paint misery, you can paint bliss. This freedom is your glory."  Osho

Soon I will be putting together my European tour. Where do we meet?

PS. Next Thursday we connect LIVE via phone, Skype (FREE), or the Web to let go of  the memories that we don't serve us any more and start receiving the abundance we deserve.

Ho’oponopono and My Experience in a Women’s Prison

Aloha my friends,

During my last visit to Mexico City, I was given the opportunity to present at a women’s prison and, of course, I accepted. After I agreed, I was told that I wouldn’t be speaking to the most dangerous inmates, and that some of the women coming might even be unfairly imprisoned. But when I arrived, the woman in charge gave us more information, and she told us that some of the women attending were very brutal; some had perpetrated kidnappings, castrations or even killed their own children… That's when I started to feel a bit nervous. It was just for a moment. I trust God completely, and I know that He would not put me in a dangerous position, but I did entertain certain thoughts. I was surely influenced by what I have seen in the movies.

My presentation was offered to 113 sentenced inmates in the prison, and 80 of them decided to attend. Despite my practice of Ho’oponopono, I was still surprised, because once I was with them, I realized I was seeing them through the eyes of love. I really did not have any opinions or judgments; I could simply see them as the human beings that they are.

However, the biggest surprise for me was when I started talking. Even though I am used to flowing with inspiration during my seminars and when I answer my audience’s questions, the truth is that the prison experience has changed my life. I truly realized the real meaning of letting inspiration flow, and how this experience can affect our lives and those of other people.

I found myself telling the inmates things that they really could assimilate and truly helped them, but not because I was thinking what would be appropriate to say. I suggested they should consider this place a spiritual retreat in which they had the chance of connecting with themselves and discovering who they really are. While there, they would be free from many daily concerns and should take advantage of the opportunity.

I also told them that they have to write, especially books; because that would allow them to change the lives of women outside the prison. I reminded them that outside, we are not free, we just think we are. We live in a permanent prison, full of stress and concerns; we are overwhelmed. Those of us who are on the outside, should be more grateful of the freedom to come and go and the many possibilities we have. We should remember much more often to thank God for all the blessings we enjoy in our daily lives and which we usually take for granted, to the point that we don’t even notice them.

I also spoke to them about past lives, and they showed a lot of interest in this subject. I emphasize the topic of past lives, both in my seminars and outside, because it is something that opens our minds and can help us undergo many difficulties during this new paradigm we are living. We can all see that the world is getting worse in some areas, and the truth is, things will keep getting worse before they start getting better. The darkest part of the night is right before dawn, and we will have to go through this darkness before the Earth becomes Paradise again. We are going to witness many things, but we have to open up and be able to observe them without engaging with our opinions and judgments or let our fear control us.

When I gave inmates the chance to make comments and ask questions, one of the women who shared told us that she was a lawyer and that she has made many mistakes in this lifetime. She explained that she had abused her power and had actually found peace in prison, and that she was trying to convey that to her mates, particularly the young ones with less experience.

Realizing who we are and knowing that no matter what happens to us everything is an experience and an opportunity to correct mistakes and grow can help us deal with our difficulties in life in a easier way. This is true for those of us who are “free”, and definitely acquires a whole different dimension if we are in prison. We have to connect with who we are, with what we came to do in this life, and realize that everything is perfect.

So I talked about past lives. I mentioned that the person they were sharing the cell with was not a mere coincidence, and interestingly enough, an inmate who had requested to be moved to another cell changed her opinion after my presentation. I also told them that their stay in prison was perhaps a way of paying off debts. As an answer to one question from an inmate, I said that maybe she was there because in another life she had put somebody in prison. The moment I said this, they all gasped, like they had a revelation. Nothing is so terrible if we change our focus. When we do this, we can save ourselves from the suffering and seize any circumstance and find out who we are.

So yes, I invited them to write; I told them to do it when they felt fine and if they felt bad. I also suggested they should write stories of their past experiences, things they needed to let go, their new perspective and to stop “talking” about these things. I told them some stories I included in my first book, The Easiest Way, and some of them looked at each other as if they already knew them. I told them that if they knew those, they should tell each other stories like that, instead of talking about the dramatic stories in their lives. I mentioned how everything we do has consequences and that they knew this well, so now they could change the consequences because they could start doing things in jail that could change their lives forever, and for the better. I told them they should never lose hope and that they should never give up.

I also talked about how they are really are family, that they only have each other and that they should take good care of each other instead of fighting or hurting each other. I advised them to read together and comment on what they had read. I had brought 15 books as gifts, and they asked me to send them books about past lives. They were very interested in the books I brought and in all the Ho’oponopono tools that I shared with them.

One of the women in charge told us that the most painful for them was the abandonment from their families who didn’t come to visit them anymore. I then took the opportunity to let them know that, even if their families came to visit them, they wouldn’t be happy. I told them that they had everything they needed there, that the home is where you are, because it is inside, and that if they were concerned about their families outside, they shouldn’t be because if they were fine, their families would be fine out there too. I assured them if they changed, their relatives outside would change as well.

Interestingly, birds had nested and were singing right above where we were meeting. This gave me the chance to tell them that these birds did not discriminate them, and that they even trusted them with their own babies. “See, the birds trust you, but you don’t trust yourself?” I said.

It all ended with hugs because I told them that hugs are the best vitamin! Many of the inmates also came to hug us. They thanked and blessed me; they also mentioned the light that I had and the peace I transmitted. Their blessings were a true gift for my soul.

Even though I won’t be able to go back to that prison as often as I’d like because I don’t live in Mexico, we mentioned the possibility of getting other speakers to come and give those women a series of talks, classes and trainings. As you can see from everything I have described, this first meeting was very promising and gratifying. Later, I was told that on the day of my talk, the prison staff was making jokes, wondering if the inmates had escaped, because the silence and tranquility that was felt in the prison after the visit was very noticeable.

The truth is that my heart overflows with joy at the opportunity to change lives at this level. I know that I change the lives of many people who attend the seminars or who take Internet classes, but the prison experience has been a great gift for me, and I thank God for trusting me.

This prison was established 18 years ago, and this was the first time they had invited someone to give a talk to the inmates. The experience proved the real need to provide more experiences like this.

One of the inmates shared that she had taken and completed the first level training in a personal growth method, and stated that if she had continued and taken the second level, she wouldn’t have ended up in prison. Considering the opportunities that opened up, not only for inmates, but also for those of us who were blessed by the experience, I hope we can continue this type of activity.

In fact, I asked the inmates if they would be willing to make their prison a model for the rest of the world. I told them that they could be examples and influence other women’s lives. I hope the initiative can continue, grow and give wonderful results.

We only have to let go and trust. We have to leave it in God’s hands. He is the only one who knows!

Ho'oponopono, jails and coincidences is today

Aloha my friends!

I have to tell you this, because I love these coincidences.

I had chosen the theme of what I was planning to share with you in this month's Q&A, before my trip to Mexico, and in my previous communication to you, I mentioned about the life changing experience I had when I presented in front of 80 women at a Mexican prison, remember?

On my way back to Los Angeles, I was reading and preparing for our class, and guess what? I noticed that I had chosen to share about a woman whose daughter was raped and killed. This mother ends up forgiving the person who committed the crime, even though he hasn't been caught, and she is now going to prisons to comfort people who have raped and killed! She could even be encountering the person who did this to her own daughter.

Is this synchronicity or what? How would you call it?

Before I left to Mexico, I didn't know about the possibility of presenting at this women's prison. The opportunity came up when I was already there!

I love God's plan. I can't wait to tell you all about it. I will "see" you on the call soon!
