  "Forgiving Our Self - Awakening Through The Power of Huna"
   By Belinda Farrell

 

Why We Must Forgive Our Self:

Unforgiveness is the greatest toxin we have stored in the body.  The body knows how to be whole.  Our negative thoughts "gum up" the neuro-pathways and create dis-ease or dis-harmony among the cells. The negative emotion of "anger" releases a chemical that bruises the heart muscle.  "Inappropriate fear" compromises our immune system and lowers our healing energy.  Every negative thought you have about yourself or others creates a cord or thread (called "aka" in Hawaiian) that wraps around you, blocking you from Light and keeping you in darkness.  The Egyptians understood this concept and diagrammed these cords in their hieroglyphics.  The Bible references these cords as "sacred strings" or "webs."  Just imagine how many cords you may have accumulated in your lifetime, simply because modern-day society doesn’t even acknowledge their existence.

If no one had taught you how to brush your teeth, can you imagine how much food and decay would have built up in your mouth over the years?

Similarly, the ancient Hawaiians would not let the negative thoughts accumulate in the body.  They practiced a cord-cutting process each day to forgive themselves and others, and restore the body to harmony.  They shared a common, lifelong purpose—to connect with higher levels of Creation.

THE THREE SELVES

The ancient Kahuna knew that we were comprised of three distinct aspects of Self or Mind, in partnership with the Divine Creator: the Conscious Mind (Uhane), the Unconscious Mind (Unihipili), and the Superconscious Mind or Higher Self (Aumakua).

The Conscious Mind, which relates to our Mental Body, is reasonable and rational.  It believes it is in control when it says things like: "I want this to happen," "I think I have to have this," "I’m not good enough," "I’m not smart enough," "I’m not thin enough," "I’m not worth it," "I don’t deserve to receive."

The Conscious Mind also believes it is separate and not connected to our Higher Self.   Because of this over-arching belief, a person can read hundreds of books on spirituality and attend dozens of seminars, and still not feel connected to his or her Higher Self.

The Unconscious Mind runs your body systems without having to be told to do so.  You don’t have to tell your heart to beat or your cells to divide.  The Unconscious Mind provides this service automatically, because it loves you unconditionally.  It is also the seat of our emotions. It stores negative emotions until we understand our lessons, then releases these toxins so we may return to wholeness.  The Unconscious Mind is the KEY to drawing down the Higher Self and connecting us to our Divinity.  As we clear away toxins from the emotional body, we open our neurology to higher levels of energy, which are then able to flow into us.

The Higher Self is the Parental Guardian Spirit that watches over us, bringing protection and safety to each one of us.  Everyone has a Higher Self. Even Hitler had a Higher Self, although he was obviously not consciously connected to it.  The Higher Self is our personal connection to the God Spirit. It is perfectly balanced male and female energy.  It sees us all as total perfection.  It has the power to remove negative fixations and false identifications from the body, when we ASK it to come in.  The key is asking the Higher Self to come in. It is important to understand that the Higher Self cannot interfere with the free will of the Conscious Mind.

HOW DO THE CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS MINDS WORK TOGETHER?

As we begin to clear negative emotions from the body and clear up the past, the Conscious Mind (the parent) can then have a relationship with the Unconscious Mind (the child), and begin to guide it in a positive way.  The Unconscious Mind needs to be guided or it might get into trouble, much as a two- year-old child might.  For instance, your Unconscious Mind may want to "shop until it drops," unless the Conscious Mind pulls you back into the reality of your checkbook.  If you want to smoke a cigarette, the Conscious Mind might remind you to take a deep breath through the nose instead, or take a walk outside in nature.  The Conscious Mind is here to learn to have a relationship with the Unconscious Mind, so they can become "buddies" and co-create together for your highest good.

When you understand how energy works, you will realize how your thoughts have created your reality. At one time you were "whole." But separation from Spirit came from believing you were separate. The purpose of dominant societies was to create power struggles and separation, to keep peoples minds controlled and in fear. When the mind is in fear, it is in opposition to the heart, which is total love. Fear blocks the heart from opening and trusting. Calling our Spirit back involves deciding to melt away the anger, fear and resentments that have calcified our hearts. We are stepping into the higher vibrations of Divine Love and Compassion. We may begin to feel the strong vibrations of the planet moving us away from war and greed and ways of living that no longer serve us. We then begin to incorporate what does work—new and harmonious ways of living together within the community of Earth with respect for all of life.

WHY MUST WE CHANT?

I was first introduced to the chants while learning about Huna on the Big Island in Hawaii. At first they seemed like a foreign language, impossible to understand. I kept listening to them and the vibrations began to lift my spirits, even though I couldn’t understand their meaning. At one point, the chants grabbed me, and suddenly I couldn’t stop chanting. A feeling of peace and connection flowed through me with each chant, leaving me in a state of bliss.

The theory behind all ancient systems of chanting (including Hawaiian, Sanskrit, Greek, Latin and Hebrew) says that the sounds and tonal patterns of what is being chanted invokes the deeper neurology of the listener or chanter, to reveal the innermost spiritual essence of what the chant is saying. When people hear these ancient chants they feel a familiarity, or a sense of knowing, that they have heard the tones before. This knowing reminds us that we were once "Creation" …that we were "totally whole." The Hawaiian chants take us back to that ancient time so we remember being connected to the Source. Our English language is too modern to contain these vibration patterns. Chanting bypasses the logical Conscious Mind and flows directly into the Heart. Hearing the sounds of the chants will expand our neurological connections, open the pathways to our hearts, and allow us to see "a bigger picture." When the heart is open…we can remember to forgive.

How We Can Forgive Our Self:

(from side 2 of the tape "Chant and Forgiveness…A Huna Odyssey")

Close your eyes. Visualize and mentally create a stage below you. You might choose to be outside on a platform, in a tree, or on a hillside looking diagonally down on the stage. Take some time to picture this. You could choose to be in a projection booth of a theater looking down upon a stage. The setting doesn’t matter. It is only important that you feel comfortable creating this picture.

Invite people onto the stage that you want to make amends with, starting with your mother and father. If they have already passed over, invite them to come back and be on the stage. Remember, this is the concept you carry of your mother and father inside yourself. Ask them this question…"Do you support me today in my magnificent connection with Higher Self?" If you get a distinct "yes" answer, it means there is no doubting dialogue. Give them a hug and let them go. If there is doubt or discord within you, keep them on the stage. You may notice cords that have formed from your umbilicus to the people on the stage. The cords represent our negative perceptions and illusions about them that were formed in the past, when we did not have the tools, resources or wisdom that we have today.

Next, ask your "ancestors" to come onto the stage. You may not even know these people, but you are carrying their DNA from all the negative emotions that preceded you. Your decision to stop these patterns is enough. Again, ask yourself the question…"Do you support me today in my magnificent connection with Higher Self?" If you get a "yes" answer, then give them a hug and let them go. If not, keep them on the stage.

To this group you will add your grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, step-parents, step-children, and anyone who was considered "family." Ask them the question…

"Do you support me today in my magnificent connection with Higher Self." If you get a "yes" answer, give them a hug and let them go. If not, then keep them on stage.

In the next group are your "ex’s:" ex-husband, ex-wife, ex-boyfriend, ex-girlfriend, ex-in-law’s…Follow through with the same question.

Authority figures comprise the next group: Teachers, mentors from the past or present, then friends (old friends and new ones), your present love relationship, if there is one, clients from your work place with whom you feel some disharmony, anyone who has "passed over" with whom you wish to make amends, or anyone else you can think of who needs to be there. Ask the question: "Do you support me today in my magnificent connection with Higher Self?"

Another group are "unborn spirits." If you have ever been through an abortion or miscarriage, you may put that spirit on the stage as well. Ask the same question…

Then put your own self image on the stage. This is the person you perceive yourself to be, with all your obsessions and misconceptions about yourself. Anything you have said or felt in a negative way about yourself has wrapped a cord around you, almost like the inside of a golf ball. This is only the person you have invested your electromagnetic energy into. The real you is on the platform above the stage. Ask your self image if you have been paid back in dividends based on that investment. You might see yourself down on the stage with cords that represent: "I’m not loved", "I’m not worthy," "I’m too fat," "I’m not smart enough," etc…..You get to look down at what you have created from your unconscious choices. Now it is time to call your Spirit back.

Using your inner vision look deep inside your Unconscious Mind and Spiritual Body to see if there are any dark or gray areas that have not moved. This is NOT your Unconscious Mind. It is dense energy that has superimposed itself over your unconscious mind, when you were in a weaker state or were in conflict. If you ever used drugs, alcohol or nicotine excessively in the past, or went through a significant emotional experience that was not resolved such as rape or incest, then the body weakens, allowing "lower level" energies to be attracted into the body. Envision these "dark forms" on the stage as well. In the tape, I talk to these energies in Hawaiian, and your Conscious Mind will not understand But your unconscious mind will understand. It is inappropriate and unnecessary for these energies to stay here any longer. They have misunderstood their purpose for being here. All of our parts want to evolve to a higher level. They are only stuck here until they get a guide to take them to the Light. During the tape you will be guided, through the chants, to send these darker energies to the Light where they will evolve to a Higher form. To allow them to remain here only delays your own evolution and their ascendance to a higher level.

YOUR STRONG INTENTION TO SEND THEM TO THE LIGHT IS THE PRAYER THAT WILL LIGHT THEIR WAY…

Take a deep breath and imagine an infinite source of Light, Love, and Healing coming down from the top of your head, emanating through your mind and heart. Sending it down to ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE STAGE…EVEN THE DARK FORMS, until they are completely surrounded with this Light. This is the Light that comes from your Higher Self down to their Higher Selves. Remember, everyone has a Higher Self.

Now prepare to have a conversation with them. It can be as simple as, "I forgive you." Feel yourself forgiving them. And hear back from them, "I forgive you." Ask your Higher Self to do this for you…ASK and you shall receive. It can be done very quickly. And as you do so, visualize yourself taking a cutting instrument of your choice, a knife, scissors, chain saw and cut the cords counter clockwise, spinning the cutting instrument around you so the blade cuts all the cords around you connecting you to the people on the stage. Then watch all the people simply float away.

Tuck the left-over cords back inside yourself, for you need all your own energy to heal your body. You are freeing yourself from your agenda with these people so that you can both grow and evolve on your own. When you cut the cords, all that is left is DIVINE LOVE. You can never cut the cord of LOVE, because LOVE is all there is in this world. Everything else is just a perception or an illusion.

If a person does not release from you or stays upon the stage, there is something within you that you are not forgiving. If you want to raise your vibrations and move forward, then again ask the Higher Self to send down the Infinite Source of Light and Healing to this person. Offer your true forgiveness…the person you are forgiving is yourself. Take a cutting instrument and cut the cords. When you meet with this person or any of the others, you’ll be able to deal with whatever issues you have between you from a higher perspective.

It is recommended that you cut cords every day to call your Spirit back and return to present time.

You are a Being of Light and you DO deserve forgiveness. Call your Spirit back! As a Being of Light, you are a channel for the Light. You have a mission in this lifetime to return to that Love inside of you…You deserve to receive Divine Love. This is your natural state.
