For those who don’t agree with what I write I pray you give the videos posted under “Health” a chance. One was posted last January. Another was posted last April.

I start and end my days with Ho’oponopono videos. They clear my mind and energize my body. Sometimes when I wake up with a bad mood, I use the videos to cleanse my memories to put me in the right disposition to receive God’s bounty. I use the videos to evoke the divinity already in me.

In the evening I use the videos to rid my mind of the burdens of the day. The song/s and the images absorb any excess energy and predispose me to a peaceful night’s rest.

Filed under the “Health” category on my website are two videos. At the end of each is an abundant repertoire. The video posted last January has for its cover a clover leaf. This contains the standard Ho’oponopono tune with nature pictures.

Another video features the standard tune rendered by Amen Ruysuke. This contains pictures of beaches, palms etc.
Sunchen 29 contains the standard tune and opens with “Rich [reach] towards God. there are 2 versions of Sunchen 29.
The Kawarahiwa 60 has beautiful trees and flowers in one version. I refrain from clicking on this video when Emil is around because the operatic rendition Of the song makes him clown around and distracts my meditation.

“Feel It” has a static background of a sea/ocean. The soloist is the same singer featured in the clover leaf video. It has explanatory notes about Ho’oponopono instead of the lyrics.

From Venezuela, Ms Bossini sings the standard song. There is a static background with the lyrics flashed on the screen a la sing-along style. Ms Bossini is featured in another version.

Ho’oponopono with Spanish texts features the standard tune. This video has a lot of colorful pictures. The video combines standard photos with painting-like images, figures and shapes and nature shots.

“lo Siento, Perdon, Gracias” is my favorite video. It does not feature the standard tune. I like the beat.
Another video that does not go by the standard tune is the version by Rita Narvate. It has a snappy beat. The pictures are predominantly those of sunflowers.

“Aloha” by Adela Valverde also has many pictures of sunflowers along with other beautiful flowers and birds.
“Hawaii” features nature scenes as though it it were an advert for tourism. Its rhythmic beat reminds me of the Gregorian chant. The Kalachuchi named by Google as Bangkok rose is seen several times in this video.

The “Al Rodee” video has a stylized rendition of the standard tune by the Nightwings. It has lines, figures and colors; it appears like a visual representation of the quarks moving in our body.

The January 2014 video has 2 alpha binaural videos meant for mood elevation. One has recited prose.

The Pineal Gland

The pineal gland is a pine-cone gland, a member of the endocrine system. It projects from the back of the brain stem. It is charged with amplifying the thought frequencies.The pineal gland activates certain parts of the brain to receive the different frequencies of thought. What is noteworthy is: the higher frequency of thoughts, the the more brain opens. This is the spiral hat begins the awakening of our divinity. Thus Lynn Grabhorn in “Beyond the Twelve Steps” encourages us to work on our consciousness.

I accidentally came across videos working on the pineal gland found on YouTube. The bonus is that the pineal gland may be cleansed and activated without drugs. Just watching the videos and listening to the background sounds is so relaxing and meditative.

Working on the pineal gland is supplementary to my use of the Ho’oponopono videos to heal my thoughts and hasten my recovery so that I can rid myself of my cane.

Aging

I am not a medical doctor; I am a doctor for educational management. I do researches but I don’t think my researches can meet the standards of my venerable doctor friend who respects only researches done by Harvard. According to him, researches must be evidenced based.

My researches are personal, anecdotal reports based on my pathway to wellness. For me my researches are based on evidences! I validate my personal experiences against published findings about my health challenges.I understand that this type of sampling at best will be considered as mere anecdotal reports by medical practitioners more so by those who practise pharmacological medicine.

In the 90s I was still covered by an HMO, not anymore since 2003. Ironically, the elderly when they need an HMO the most can no longer be covered. Anyway, while I was still covered by n HMO, the attending physicians would shake their heads when I would be confined. They just could not pinpoint what was wrong with me. I would always be a marginal case in all blood and other medical tests. I know secretly they must have considered me a case of psychosomatic illness. However, one manifest evidence was my voice problem which forced me to resign from a leching job.

I was treated for hypertension because the readings proved it. When my hypertension normalized my voice problem persisted. I was sent to a psychiatrist. Now, I know it must have been a ploy to rid the HMO of  their perceived unnecessary expense. Of course, the fee of the psychiatrist was not reimbursable! Understandably I had to take steps to handle my health issues.

Magnesium

The Internet has given me new information. Lactic acid which used to be blamed for tiredness has been redeemed by more recent studies. Cortisol , the stress hormone is not as bad as described in my old books in the 90s. This leads me to think how important it is for health care providers to continuously update themselves. I can imagine how my voice problem even my clinical depression in the 90s could have been remedied had my doctors or even myself known about the wonders of Magnesium.

I am grateful for the magnesium spray of Jean Netario Cruz which has significantly improved my walking, enough for me to dream that soon I will be able to walk without my cane. She has done a lot of research about magnesium but I would like to add what I have learned.

According to the “Essential Guide to Vitamins and Minerals and Herbal Supplements” (2010) : Few enzymes can work without it [magnesium]  and magnesium is now known to help monitor healthy tissues, especially those in the muscles, lung airways, blood vessels and nerves. Lack of magnesium leads to cell death due to depletion of energy stores.

Magnesium could have prevented my frequent trips to the ER and hospital confinement in the 90s. The above 2010 book continues: One of the most important functions for magnesium is to maintain the integrity of ion pumps that control the flow of sodium, potassium, chloride and other salt components across cell membranes.
But an 80 year old doctor friend of ours would rather stick to pharmacologically driven medicine. He does not believe in Internet accessed researches. He would patronize only researches done by Harvard. I had to Google this because all the while I thought Harvard did not have a of college of medicine!

In fact he believes only in Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) When I complained against my present attending doctor he categorically told me to stick with this present physician. Our doctor friend wants my attending physician to take care of him  when he is finally hospitalized.

Ho’oponopono

Ho'oponopono
I am no longer a traditional Catholic. I am still a Catholic. After many, many years of robotic compliance with the teachings of my church I have become a highly critical of nuns and priests. Fortunately, for my many books like those of Neale Walsch and Rabbi Darfour have changed my image of God from an angry, punishing one of the Bible to a God of love.

The Hawaiian Ho’oponopono (definitely not a religion) which I learned from Joe Vitale’s “Zero Limits has been helping me tremendously.
Instead of the burdens from the doctrinal teachings of my church, the Ho’oponopono has made me live up to the teachings of my church: made to the image and likeness of God.

I still believe in the power of the Mass and the sacraments. I owe my steadfast faith in the Eucharist to a book by Bro. James Ebner FSC which I read when I was pregnant with our only daughter and now she is on her early 30s.

I resonate with what a msgr from Iloilo wrote in the Philippine Inquirer “Sacraments Trump Novenas, Processions, Says Prelate.”
It may sound heretical. But my life has been suffused with joy ever since I awakened to the truth that truly God is in me.

The Ho’oponopono videos available in YouTube, sometimes on Facebook as well as on my website remind me daily that life is beautiful. Divinity does what I can’t do by myself.

The Ho’oponopono cleanses our memories or programs as Joe Vitale calls them. I can easily equate the memories/programs with original sin.

Original Sin just like memories are always with me preventing me from hearing God. That is why I do Ho’oponopono cleansing when I wake up and also before I go to sleep. Actually, I do Ho’oponopono even while waiting for my laptop to access the Internet.

The guidance spoken about in Ho’oponopono can easily be translated into the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I pray that soon my church will look kinder upon Ho’oponopono instead of dismissing it as “New Age”.

I think this essay will be an impediment to my canonization1 But I don’t need to be canonized. I’m sure there are more human beings in heaven than those canonized. BDW I have personally observed that canonization can be very expensive.

I was taught in a Catholic school that we celebrate  “All Saints Day” every year to honor those who did not get canonized but are in heaven
