Ho'Onopono

Ho’Oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of cleaning the energy around us that effects all those we come in contact with.
In the summer of 2009, I had the privilege of spending 4 days studying this practice directly from the famous Dr. Hew Len through a course in Boston, Mass (google him if you want to have your mind blown). The practice includes reciting the mantra “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you”. It allowed me to clearly see how everything in my experience is a part of my own creation, and that I have the power and the responsibility to clear any lingering negative energy. I worked for many years with refugees who had experienced horrific traumas. I painted this to hang in my office, so that it would exude joy, to me, and to anyone who came into my presence. I did it in one evening; it took me about 4 or 5 hours to paint, and I recited the mantra silently to myself throughout the whole process, so I feel this painting is infused with joy and positive energy.
