Today’s Affirmation comes from what I believe at this present time to be the best #moneymindset book on the Market because ….
It looks at money from a whole different perspective than the other Money Mindset books I have read
For the majority of us our Money Mindset is set in us long before we have an awareness it is happening and again for the majority of us, it is not a healthy one in our favour
Just listen to the conversations around you, heck listen to your own conversations about money
They are usually based around lack and they are probably nearly 100% going to be subconscious and that is where the trouble lies.
We are not even aware we are projecting a Vibration of Lack and then wonder why we are always living in lack or live in a little bit of abundance and then slip back into lack without even realising why
The good news is what was programmed into us subconsciously can be reprogrammed “Consciously” by things like saying and writing #affirmations I provide in Wealth Wednesday Affirmations
Some people say Affirmations don’t work which is a self prophesying affirmation in of it’s self and then they wonder why they don’t work
They did work. They just worked to not work if you get my gist.
Anyways ….
Back to #wealthwednesday affirmations
I am not sure if you are aware I followed Inspired Action to start a Linkedin Newsletter called “Amplified Empires” which I also felt Inspired to add to my website, the address which is in the image I provided and in it I ramble about my ideas and beliefs about building a Business Online based around your Passions with some Mindset thrown in
And this Saturdays is all about your gifts and expertise and why we are warranted to serve others with our gained Knowledge and Expertise so I think this affirmation is a good precursor this weeks Newsletter
And talking of precursors, why not head over to my website and read some of the previous editions and start writing and or saying mentally “My Gifts are Of High Value and Worthy of Massive Compensation” on a regular basis like I have Amanda’s book playing in my ear on a regular basis
And if you want your Money Mindset given a massive boost why not grab your own copy and have Amanda’s wisdom running throughout your ears and life by clicking on the title of the book “Rich As FxxK” by Amanda Frances
“I Am so Happy and Grateful everyday I Am Receiving Multiple Sources of Soul Aligned Income, Supporting a Life I Love Giving Me More Freedom & Security”
If you have known me for a while or followed any of my content you maybe aware one of the biggest game changers for me was something I learned from the late great Bob Proctor that …
“Successful People have Multiple Sources of Income”
For you this maybe no great surprise but for me and my background it was BIG new news for me
And you may have got the gist that for sometime I Am not a Fan of the Hustle Bus Energy and being Physically repelled by Grind Culture. Do or Die and unfortunately some have physically died before they got to experience the fruits of their Labour
I Am more about Effortless Alignment and receiving from Ease and Flow so I created this affirmation as part of Wealth Wednesday to help change the Energetic Vibration of Wealth Creation
Feel free to save the Affirmation Image to Think it ,Speak it, Write it. Be It !!
What We Focus on Expands What We Take our Focus Away From Contracts What We Think About, We Bring About
“Hustle and Grind is a bind but Aligned is Divine, I now Attract Money With Grace, Ease & Flow”
Only last night I saw a very Masculine Hustle & Grind kind of post that said “You won’t get much done if you only grind on the days you feel good”
I’ve even seen women post this style of content saying unless you are bleeding out of your eyeballs you have to show up 🥱
These are just beliefs that worked for them and they are passing on to others that make me feel sick 🤮
Recently I heard someone say something that I was more Aligned to about it being ok to maybe only post one piece of content a week or less as long as it felt good and from the heart to you instead of going out in your little metaphorical life boat desperately trying to get clients, be the light house that attracts your Soul Aligned Clients
I know which one I prefer and just out of interest
All of these people are very successful and wealthy in their fields of business proving it is not the Labor but their belief in their own Worthiness
They believe in themselves and that their way is correct because it got them results and deep down they care about people and want them to have success too and that’s why they are trying to sell the thing they believe in
Not to long ago I saw things I desired Manifest into my Life Effortlessly and with Ease and no effort from me apart from the Desire
Understandably it made me stop and think “Hmm? The Hustle and Grind, I inadvertently always revert to causes stress without little results and being in Flow and having Faith in the Yet unseen at some point always Manifests results far more Miraculously than I could have ever imagined. There must be something in this?”
From then on I felt repelled by the Hustle & Grind type of old outdated Mindset
Talking of Grace, Flow and Ease …
Then Regan Hillyer came into my Life who is the epitome of my ideal of Living and Manifesting without Hustle and Grind and she actually uses the terminology “Grace, Ease and Flow” and she is currently ranked in some peoples view as the Worlds No.1 Manifestation Queen
And oh yes, she is a self made Multi-Millionaire and I have no doubt soon to be Billionaire
But you maybe thinking “I Struggle with belief in my own Worthiness, How Will I be Able to Create Wealth?”
Funnily enough Regan has you covered in her monthly program “IGNITE” that has a Self Love Tool Kit inside along with many, many, many other free Training’s included like Activating Abundance and a 5 Day Manifestation Intensive along with a live with Regan Zoom Monthly Activations to help clear limiting beliefs etc
Click on the word “IGNITE” to see how you can make this #wealthwednesday one you start manifesting wealth with ease instead of hustle and grind
So I have been blogging for well over a decade now and initially it was just a desire in me to share with people The Law of Attraction in Action in my life and others to inspire people to see it is possible to wake up happy when, like I was previously. Thought I lost all hope and wondered why so many terrible things were happening to me.
The journey I have been on since has been crazy and I am so grateful and in the beginning I never knew the term “Evergreen Content” and that blogging was one of these forms of content.
But once I did it made so much sense.
In our instantaneous world we live in now where everything is literally at our fingertips and social media posts come and go, Evergreen Content is something that can be created once and live on long after it has been created and has the power and potential to help and serve others for decades after it was created.
Podcasting is another one of these formats and now more and more people record podcasts and upload them to YouTube and currently YouTube Channels are another popular long form platform ideal for Evergreen content. Did you know Pinterest is actually a search engine and has massive potential as a platform for Evergreen content and can be used to monetise your gifts?
As you can see I have started to see the potential to venture further afield in my Evergreen adventures and earlier today felt inspired to record an unplanned episode for my podcast “The Fab Over Forty Show” after being very concerned yet inspired by some content I saw myself and I felt by creating the content it may help others “AVOID” the pitfalls I saw two people make that I am sure we are all capable of making or are currently doing even if we are not aware of it because our actions are subconscious.
Then I felt inspired to turn that content into a blog post thus making another piece of Evergreen content on the same subject
Why do I tell you all this?
Because initially I called my podcast The Law of Attraction Lover because it made sense as it is the same name as this blog but I invested in a mentor and his course for podcasting and as part of that course we had live zoom sessions where he asked us to put in the chat our podcast ideas and potential titles
I said I already had one called The Law of Attraction Lover and he said it was to long and a title should be only 3 to 4 words long and thus Fab Over Forty was born because my Passion and Purpose in Life now is Inspiring Women Over Forty that we are never to old and it is never too late after hearing so many women tell me I was so lucky doing what I loved and loving what I do and that I was talented but almost immediately subconsciously right themselves off and saying they had no talent and or they were to old …
Many of them far younger than me and I truly believe we all have something that we love that is so easy to us we don’t see it as a talent or worthy of any potential.
However I honestly and wholeheartedly believe we are living in the best time ever to turn what we love into money in our purses online and I will continue to share my feelings on this subject and my observations and beliefs around the Law of Attraction to inspire Woman and it appears from what they tell me, Men that if we focus on what we want we can Attract into our lives and Wake Up Happy
But talking of what we focus on …
Just a quick side note. The same Mentor that told me my name was to long later said that podcasts were not just podcasts any more and that they had so much untapped potential that just calling them Podcasts undermined the massive value they had and should be classed as shows
This struck me as like I said people add them to youtube now and create channels and my platform I use actually allows you upload video versions of your recordings and actually refers to them as “Shows” now so it made sense to add a ‘The‘ and ‘Show‘ at the beginning and the end. To long? I don’t care!
It feels right in my gut and in my heart so Law of Attraction Lover blog and The Fab Over Forty Show are one and the same just in different formats.
It’s up to you which way you prefer to consume your content and as long as you are growing and developing and living into your true potential and not sabotaging yourself subconsciously because
What You Think About You Bring About … Consciously or Subconsciously !!
I’m probably not going to be popular for saying this …. but I am going to say it anyway
So all of 2024 I have been doing some work on myself, on my business inspired by Regan Hillyer and something she calls your Big Picture Reality
I haven’t been very vocal about this and it’s a lot of inner work. Journalling, Visualising and actually I have been doing so much in every spare pocket of time I haven’t created much content
But I am not worried about this, despite multiple people saying the key to success is consistency and publishing consistent content. I have a Focused Faith that everything is working out for me and my Highest Vision
Which brings me on to todays unexpected subject
I have so much gratitude for the life I have already manifested but I feel desires drawing me forward to an even Higher Reality
Higher Vision
Big Picture Reality
Regan has an amazing way of explaining that our desires are the Universe’s way, Source, God which ever terminology you prefer or feel comfortable to use calling you towards what was put in you heart prior to birth
What is rightfully yours. Your Big Picture Reality
So if you ever feel guilty about some of your desires like more money, a luxury car, house etc more abundance in general
There is nothing wrong with these desires they are in-fact your destiny calling you to
However and I have been there to
We have to be careful our desires are not motivated by something else that is not of our birth right desires
Last year I created content on various platforms on my personal observations about the passing of a much loved individual to hopefully help people realise not everything is as it seems and be aware of false gurus
It incredibly has just passed the first year anniversary of that persons passing
I had pulled away from this person because of the message they were sending out into the world about hard work and Hustle and how I personally felt that could create a lot of guilt for people that had a lot more personal responsibilities that this person didn’t have
Making it harder for them to live up to this persons standards of what creates success
Interestingly I feel very aligned to Regan and she talks and walks her talk of creating abundance etc from grace, flow and ease and Alignment
Prior to this persons passing they put out content that I read between the lines on and I felt while they had been sending out one message their motivator while probably being completely subconscious was another
And in the end via using alternative methods to cure their illness they admitted during a counselling session they had got to a route cause which was not really expressed in any of their previous content where they were always very exuberantly expressing a message of joy in what they were doing and the success that resulted from their actions
My content last year shared my observations sadly just before their untimely death at only 34
As part of my journey towards my big picture reality and the desires I am having it has led me innoveratantly to materials of a person who passed quite tragically this year in an untimely way
In some of their content that popped on my radar recently they admitted they wanted to live as long as possible and healthy as possible
The thought of dying young was palpable
This information that I have been consuming is from 2012 and because of their desire to live a long, healthy life they researched and created information that has indeed helped probably thousands of others live long, healthy lives they may have never had or will have
But then the person doing the research and creating a result recently died in a freak accident
Which leads me back to ..
be careful what is motivating your desires subconsciously because you may end up attracting the very thing you are trying to avoid regardless how much you do to try and escape it
In the end whatever we focus on expands and what we focus on and expand we attract
I have heard it said people are usually trying to move away from pain and towards pleasure and I whole heartedly agree but if we are still motivated by the pain
Even if we think we are not because we have created more pleasurable results ultimately we will attract more pain
Napoleon Hill famed for the book that has transformed multiple lives and created many successful wealthy businesses and people “Think and Grow Rich“ and responsible for my ultimate favourite book of all time “Outwitting the Devil” talks of 6 basic fears and fear of poverty and fear of death being part of those big 6
As you can see one of the people I have previously mentioned obviously had a fear of death and while they did everything possible to live a long healthy life died young while actually partaking in a healthy activity which makes me think their primary motivator was still Fear of death, not a love for life and I as I have already said we attract where our attention goes
Even if we are not aware of it we bring about what we think about
The other person I have been discussing admitted that while they had become a very successful multi millionaire at a very young age they realised through counselling they were motivated by not wanting to be poor again
They had experienced poverty and despite creating massive wealth and feared if they didn’t work 16/ 18 hour days as they were promoting it may all stop and they would be poor again
Their message was work hard and hustle and how much they loved the life they had doing just that but in reality they were living in poverty mindset still regardless of how much money they created because they couldn’t get off this hamster wheel of working in case it all ran out which created poverty on so many levels regardless what their bank statement and assets and investments said
And then ultimately it was all pointless because they manifested a fatal illness and in one of their last live broadcasts they admitted how terrified of death they were so they were investing all their financial resources available to them to try every avenue possible to cheat death and it looked like it was working. They were only now taking time to meditate and use various therapies and slow down
But it was still all to no avail because now their focused attention had moved from Poverty to Death and they passed shortly after that broadcast which they shared their fear of death when they felt they had finally cheated it because of a positive diagnoses from their physician and they were understandably and obviously ecstatic but perhaps despite the late to the party enthusiasm for their health, all their focused attention on the Fear of Death manifested the very thing they feared the most.
The trouble with these two cases most probably, was they had no idea they were motivated by two of the Primary Fears and they were using all their potential energy to focus in the wrong areas.
So I ask you where are you focusing your energies?
What are you potentially expanding in your life?
Are you motivated by Fear or Faith?
My life changed when I saw that I was focusing all my energy on why was my life was so bad and why were so many bad things happening to me and therefore expanding the potential for and attracting more bad things to me “subconsciously” and that I had the power to redirect my thoughts away from these results I had unwittingly attracted and therefore stop them expanding and focus my attention on more desired results
Which I did by starting a simple morning practice of Gratitude
While it may seem I came across the health information through fear in actuality I admit it, it is via vanity and aesthetically in my Big Picture Reality I see my physical appearance different to the one I have today
While I know I don’t always treat my body in the best possible manner I always show gratitude for the miracle it is and my health on a regular basis and long before coming across Regan’s materials I have often journaled my gratitude and written positive affirmations on my Health and believe these types of Personal Development actions should be taken first and despite my current physical age I am very healthy and show no signs of the aliments by peers focus on and complain about “being a natural and expected part of our current demographic” I just don’t buy into that philosophy
And quick unexpected controversial detour I didn’t put in the podcast episode.
Despite being 58 I have never had any physical symptoms of menopause because I just never allowed my mind to go there or dwell there and if anyone does go their I just remove myself from the conversation physically or mentally
And The kind of work I am doing with Regan and the journal prompts help you get to the route cause of your desires and see what is motivating you plus helps you find out what your ultimate Big Picture Reality is that is placed in your heart before birth and how to keep that Vision in the forefront of your mind with grace, with ease and with flow and how to move towards it
And I hope this information I have shared with you has caused you to take time or plan to take time to get to the root causes of your motivations and desires and focus your attention on a Beneficial Big Picture Reality and not on and away from Fear based desires
I am involved in several versions of Regan’s work but I advise if you are interested in becoming part of Regan’s world who is classed as possibly the number one Female Manifestation Coach in the world is join her monthly subscription program for a tiny, tiny fee compared to the value you will receive and if that sounds like something that interests you I have dropped a link how to join her Ignite Program by simply tapping on the word “IGNITE”
I highly recommend you do. Plus as a member you will receive massive discounts to many other of her resources as they become available so why not just check it out and see what it IGNITE”S in you
Even if all you get out of this is Blog Post is that you become aware we can be motivated by 6 basic Fears and the 2 most fundamental are Fear of Death and Fear of Poverty and that this episode makes you realise that they could be at play in your life and you start focusing your attention away from these and focus on everything you have to be grateful for
My work here is done

“There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: Those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed” ~ Ray Goforth
Something happened to me recently that changed my perspective When I saw this quote it resonated with me.
Because of what happened I realised while I was frustrated and annoyed at first I hadn’t stopped to think about the motivator.
I actually think the latter was at play and I think it is subconscious and I also think from reading that quote that people can be both at the same time.
When you are faced with naysayers or don’t feel supported.
1) People probably are not even aware of their actions.
2) The impact they are having on you.
3) What’s motivating them to behave/react as they are.
I think if you are a 2%’r .
You know what you want.
You have goals and dreams .
And you take action on them …
This triggers the other 98%.
Even if they don’t realise they are being triggered.
It touches nerves subconsciously.
It reminds them that they haven’t achieved the things they wish they had or in most case never even started.
They feel guilt, shame and anger at themselves (type 1).
And, or They fear if you go after your desires you will leave them behind (type 2) so they say and do things consciously or subconsciously to put you down or talk you out of following your goals.
The only people we should listen to are the ones that have succeeded at what we desire to achieve and the ones that always support us unconditionally.
At the same time love those that act out of fear because they most probably are not aware of their actions or why they act that way.
And because Love is one of the highest forms of vibration and that can only support us and dwelling on their actions will cause us to “drift” away from our dreams and goals and cause us to waste precious time moving towards our ultimate desires.
Plus we never know who may or may not walk our path with us in the future and we could let someone who may not even walk that path change the trajectory of a destination they will not even share with us.
The only constant that most people can rely on being their as we walk our paths is “Ourselves”.
We don’t truly know what will happen or who will be their with us as we go along our way so we might as well pursue the calling of our Soul. Our Purpose regardless of anyone else’s thoughts or actions.
As the William Ernest Henley poem Invictus states be “The Master of Your Fate. The Captain of Your Soul”.
“Take ownership of the result before you know the path” ~ Myron Golden
When you want to travel to a destination these days we usually use the browser on our phones and click directions or go to the Maps App and type in the address and press start
Question? ~ Do you check out the whole route before you start or do you trust that it is going to give you the steps you need before you need them to guide you to the place you want to get to?
Even if you missed a turning because the route is totally unknown to you and you hesitate and think is it this one or the next one. “Dam missed it, missed it.” it will reroute you and still guide you towards your destination
Getting to that destination is the “Result”
GPS only gives you steps not the whole journey at once
It’s the same with a desired outcome. A result we want.
You can set out on the journey without knowing the how
You only need to know the result you want and take the first step and then trust that the next step will show up and the next and the next …
I call it have “Faith in The Yet Unseen”
When it looks like nothing is happening, I have to much evidence from past experience to know miracles show up when I least expect it usually in the most effortless way
But when I overthink it or try and “Fix It” myself it effects my energy and closes off the access to Miracles and Inspiration
When I am 100% focused on my result and have Faith no matter how unrealistic it looks due to current circumstances Inspired Ideas drop in and Inspired Actions steps nudge me.
The right People and the right Circumstances appear seemly out of nowhere but in reality this is the ‘Law of Resonance’ in action
Because I am focused on the result I want I resonate out and energy that Attracts back the right resources I require
A bit like the actions steps to take on a GPS system on our phones to get us to our desired destination but unfortunately most people think they need to know the whole route to take before they start to get a desired result and they get overwhelmed.
Then the fear and doubt set’s in of all the reasons they can’t or it won’t work and they quit before they even start.
Why not try this instead? ….
Truly ask yourself a desired result you would like and take ownership of your desire
Say Yes to Yourself and admit “Yes I would Like this Result in My Life” Regardless what anyone else thinks” (better still don’t even tell anyone your desires)
And admit to yourself I do “NOT” have a scooby doo how I can get this result at this point in time but I know I would like it/want it and just leave it there for a little while ….
Your only job at this point is to take time to revisit that desire at some point every day.
Even if it is only for 30 seconds
Set an alarm on your phone if you have to at a time you know you will get a few seconds to yourself
The alarm time can change daily based on your schedule but the important thing is to spend some time focused on the desired result you would like as often as possible
Nothing else !!!
Get that energy resonating out into the Universe is the most important “Action Step” to take then the path will appear
Don’t put a time line on it. Don’t put a date on it. Time is fake any way. There is only NOW
Being relaxed and having Faith in the Yet Unseen creates Miracles
Deadlines and Dates create Stress aka Miracle Blocking Energy
So today why not take time to take ownership of a result you would like. You may have to sit with this a while to remember something you truly want then wallow in that result already having happened and “FEEL” the essence of it.
That’s the place to go each day
And if you miss a day. No worries !!
Just acknowledge that you ‘Acknowledge’ that you missed a day and say ‘good job for acknowledging I missed a day’ and make a date for the next day or even better just do it then
Everything and I mean everything adds up. We just have to have Faith in the Yet Unseen
Don’t be fooled by what you see in your current reality
No one knows what’s going on behind the scenes
Working on my dream while working for someone to build there’s
No shame !!!
I’ll explain more later …
There’s a quote by Farrah Gray that says :-
“Build Your Own Dreams, or Someone will Hire You to Build Theirs”
There are a lot of people hired to help build other people’s dreams or the world wouldn’t function
Some people don’t feel compelled to change the world and that’s ok 👌
What we don’t see when we see super successful people that are now worth probably multiple millions is. And I know for a fact, some people were working job’s that were contributing to building other people’s dreams while they were starting out on their’s
Several jobs at once in some cases until Their dream became profitable enough that they felt secure enough financially to let them go …
I don’t see that as selling out. I see it as Savvy
This quote can seem negative and come across as a be all or end all (I know that’s not quite the correct sentence but I was making a point)
Perhaps it should be “Build Your Own Dreams whilst working for other people who dared to go for theirs until it’s time to go it alone” or words to that effect
It’s easier for me to tell me people I let my Brick n Mortar business go because of Covid-19 and yes there is no doubt it was dramatically effected by Covid but I had a vision for something long before Covid and I knew I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life spinning my wheels being landlocked and constantly trading time for money
I see the events leading up to me letting it go were simply steps towards the manifestation of my Ultimate Desire
I made some decisions that seemed right at the time to move things forward but in reality they didn’t work out to serve my plan as I envisioned they would but that’s ok ….
Inside nothing changed. The Big Picture Reality Remains the same
I just had to Pivot and move on to the next step ….
Then in March I underwent an unexpected shift following taking part in a Regan Hillyer Activation
I went through what could only be described as a “Transformative Experience”
I saw life events line up like dots showing me their purpose but also showed me they were only a tool to serve a Higher Purpose
Then …
But then I felt this shift. I felt I had outgrown everything I had ever created and everything I thought was significant was merely a beautiful stepping stone to something more ????
At first I thought I was stripping back but now it is more like a strip out …
I have stopped creating anything until I align and act from Inspiration
Thankfully I am employed now because we all have bills to pay
Being employed by someone who had a vision and implemented it has in no way meant I have given up on my Big Picture Reality
It’s given me the Freedom to be flexible and reassured life’s necessities are taken care of and I don’t feel forced to create anything that is out of alignment for fear of not paying the Bills
And you can do the same
Never give up on your dream just because you work for someone who built there’s
This is an All and Everything Life … not an all or nothing !!!
I feel inspired to write this post because nobody know what is going on behind the scenes
Shortly after I started this new role I came face to face with someone who previously knew me in a very senior Managerial Position and sarcastically looked me up and down and said “Living the Dream I see’
And I replied “Yes I am Am” with a big Smile because I know I am
Working currently serves a means to an end and I actually enjoy it and the time goes really fast and it also allows me lots of free time to follow one Inspired Action after Another until I eventually catch up with my Big Picture Reality and the next and the next ….
I have caught up with and manifested one Big Picture Reality after another but to an on looker it may look I haven’t manifested much … (Yet !!)
it was just that those Big Picture Realities were a lot smaller in stature so may not seem like I manifested anything but now my BPR’s are absolutely massive and while in this 3D reality it looks like nothing has changed …
I know from previous experiences “Manifestation Miracles” happen in the most unexpected ways at the least expected times in the most Miraculous Ways usually with little help from me
My part is to hold the Faith in the Yet Unseen even when what is seen looks nothing like my current Big Picture Reality that I focus on Everyday
My suggestion to use is ….
DON’T Focus on “What Is”, Focus on What You Truly Desire to the Exclusion to All Else that You Currently See but Be Grateful for it all because it All serves a Purpose even if it doesn’t feel like it.
“Life is Happening for Us, Not to Us”
I still have my digital products available and they may actually be the perfect thing for someone reading this right now for where they are in their journey
For me they are in maintenance mode and I could tweak them if I so wished but I cannot add to them which suits me fine
It is the dawning of a New Era …
A New Era of Creation and I am excited and Open for it ALL !! 🔥
The Art of Surrendering: Exploring Ho’oponopono as a Path to Inner Peace
Introduction:
In the fast-paced and often chaotic world we live in, finding inner peace can feel like an elusive goal. As we navigate the challenges of daily life, it’s not uncommon to accumulate stress, resentment, and emotional baggage. However, the ancient Hawaiian practice of Ho’oponopono offers a unique and powerful approach to achieving inner harmony through surrendering and forgiveness.
Understanding Surrender:
Surrendering is not a sign of weakness; rather, it’s a courageous act of releasing control and allowing the natural flow of life to guide us. In the context of Ho’oponopono, surrendering involves letting go of the need to be right, releasing judgments, and accepting responsibility for our own experiences.
In my 5 Step Framework The G.R.E.A.T Formula™️ I talk about responsibility. Sometimes it is something we want to avoid, but it is like trying to drive a car in park if we avoid it but if we take responsibility it is like taking the brakes off. It actually gives us power and that’s why I resonated to Ho’Oponopono so much and studied to become an Advanced Practitioner in this ancient art.
Ho’oponopono: A Brief Overview:
Ho’oponopono, rooted in traditional Hawaiian spirituality, is a profound practice that centres around reconciliation and forgiveness. The word itself can be broken down into two parts: “ho’o,” meaning to make, and “pono,” meaning right. Together, Ho’oponopono can be translated to “to make right.”
At its core, Ho’oponopono is a process of making things right within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len, a modern proponent of Ho’oponopono, popularised a simplified version of the practice that involves repeating four powerful phrases: “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.”
The Four Phrases:
1. “I’m sorry”: Acknowledge and take responsibility for the challenges or disharmony present in your life, even if you don’t fully understand their origins.
2. “Please forgive me”: Express a sincere desire for forgiveness, recognizing the need to heal and release the negative energy associated with the situation.
3. “Thank you”: Cultivate gratitude for the opportunity to address and rectify the imbalances in your life. Gratitude has the power to transform our perception and open the door to positive change.
4. “I love you”: Embrace the unconditional love that transcends judgement and separation. This phrase is a recognition of the interconnectedness of all things and the healing power of love.
The Power of Surrender in Ho’oponopono:
Surrender is an integral aspect of Ho’oponopono, as it involves letting go of ego-driven desires, control, and the need to assign blame. By surrendering to the process, individuals open themselves to the transformative power of forgiveness, paving the way for inner peace and healing.
Benefits of Ho’oponopono:
1. **Inner Peace**: Ho’oponopono facilitates the release of internal conflicts, allowing individuals to experience a profound sense of inner peace.
2. **Improved Relationships**: By practising forgiveness and taking responsibility for our experiences, Ho’oponopono can mend and strengthen relationships.
3. **Emotional Healing**: The practice helps individuals heal emotional wounds, liberating them from the burden of past traumas and negative emotions.
4. **Increased Self-Awareness**: Surrendering in Ho’oponopono involves self-reflection, leading to heightened self-awareness and personal growth.
Conclusion:
In 2010 I fully embraced the philosophy of the Law of Attraction and it had a profound effect on me and I still believe there is a place for it but I feel the earth is evolving and Transitioning and it is time to take things to another level.
The Law of Attraction can be used to manifest specific material items and experiences but this methodology is based mainly in physical solitary practices created and carried out by the individual that are focused on singular specific detailed outcomes that can feel like work to manifest but creation does not have to be a solitary practice.
Many people found/find themselves frustrated with the Law of Attraction and feel it doesn’t work. The Law of Attraction is a natural law and is always working but we subconsciously take on programming from society that create blocks in our unconscious and create negative thought processes that create fear, anxiety and doubt that stop our ability to achieve the harmonious lives we desire.
In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, the ancient wisdom of Ho’oponopono provides a refreshing perspective on surrendering and forgiveness that can release these blocks.
By embracing the power of these four simple phrases, and repeating them as often as possible individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation. The art of surrendering through Ho’oponopono ultimately leads to a more harmonious and fulfilling life, both within ourselves and in our interactions with the world around us.
Prior to my coming into contact with Ho’Oponopono I became aware in my own practices and experiences with The Law of Attraction that things I tried to manifest myself were often hard and often afflicted by what I called “Curveballs” but whenever I surrendered. Consciously or Subconsciously then the Universe (as I like to call it but Dr Hew Len liked to call it Divinity) would manifest something so miraculously amazing and so perfect and beyond my wildest imaginings in such an unbelievably effortless way I knew there was something undoubtedly more than meets the eye to this thing we call Human existence.
Maybe that’s why when I became aware of Ho’Oponopono it resonated to me so much.
It’s in the surrendering we allow the Divinity that’s in us. That is closer than our own breath to bring us inner harmony in a way we can never perceive or create with our physical perspective alone.
Now is the time to move beyond the struggles of Manic Manifesting and move into the art of
“Surrendered Manifesting”
Surrender and allow the UNIVERSE to guide us to what is more perfect for us than anything we can ever imagine …
Now is the time to Surrender and listen to and act upon the Aligned Actions steps whispered to us by our Divine Self. The Highest Embodiment of our Natural Being.

So I have been thinking about expressing my feelings on this subject for along time and honestly because the people whose advice turned my stomach were far more successful and wealthier than me (or are they) imposter syndrome struck and I thought who would listen to me over them? So I ignored the callings of my heart over and over again until eventually and unfortunately what I felt intuitively came to pass and is actually still coming to pass even today so I cannot hold it in any longer.
I was Shocked by The author of one of my favourite books admitting how they have had felt in their new book
Their book I mentioned I have referred to multiple times when I have felt out of alignment and in their “New book” I learned in their own words that at the time of writing what I felt a work of spiritual genius for me, they were calling themselves a piece of shit and there was a lot of self loathing
I know millions of people love this person and are one of the most profound Spiritual Gurus of our times
Who knew while we followed their wisdom inside they had so much disregard for themselves
I also became aware of one of my Own mentors who had prescribed a certain method of working who I actually had resonated away from slightly because of their methodology was now completely going through a turnabout and promoting a different perspective after life threw them massive health issue curveballs
Then someone else who I was actually familiar with and actually deeply concerned about and the message they were spreading. I saw a post about I think honestly I suspected would come but here was the evidence I hoped not to see of a diagnosis of a serious illness
And so it goes on
Someone else I know of who promoted a work ethic, business building methodology I could no longer resonate to only recently has posted admitting their method got them rich in money but poor in time and then followed up by another post admitting to multiple health issues and how they regret being so busy they ignored the signs
I could actually go on but these examples are enough to express the motivation for this content
All of these people are very successful and wealthy. I say again but are they?
I resonated away from their hard work ethic and the reason why …..
Because intuitively I uncomfortable around their suggested work practices
It didn’t allow for fun. Relaxation and quality time with loved ones etc
Ok your bank accounts maybe full with millions but at what cost?
If it were all to end tomorrow what memories had they made
Because of this I changed my work practices. Which in turn took away a lot of guilt
I decided whenever my partner was around I downed tools on building my business and focused on us and shared activities even if that was snuggling up and watching a series on Netflix which in some areas with certain members of the areas I discussed above was a huge no, no.
Even having a TV was a swear word if you wanted to have a successful business and forget time with loved ones. Just explain that if they want you to be successful and wealthy and enjoy the trappings of wealth they have to sacrifice time with you now for enjoyment later were their cries but what if.
What If you suddenly or someone you love suddenly gets struck down by a severe illness or God forbid a bus what do you want them to remember you for ….
18 hour days 7 days a week or that box set you shared and discussed about afterwards and the time you were cuddled up watching it and the memory of when they gently kissed you on the forehead out of nowhere for no particular reason or the Santorini sunset you shared together ?
All actual experiences I have had plus many more and my relationship is stronger for it and it continues to grow with even more shared memory making experiences however I haven’t given up on my business goals and dreams
I am just going through a transition of my personal journey of how I create that business in the most joyful, blissful way possible and set an example of how others can achieve the same from expressing their gifts
Wealth is not just money in the bank because your wealth bank can be running on empty if the physical bank accounts are full but your emotional bank accounts are empty of beautiful experiences, memories and bankrupt of fulfilling relationships
I have to admit Because these people were very successful with very full physical bank accounts I thought I should follow their advice but gradually I kept hitting roadblocks and feel ever increasing discomfort physically every time I tried to follow their advice
What changed ….
I started to listen to and trust my true feelings which was to step away from their advice
I went inside to ensure I didn’t go without but I, in all honestly felt no one would listen to my methodology due to the lack of evidence of my own success
But it is interesting to see now and also concerning to see how many people followed their methodologies to the extent of sacrifice only for their (my previous) gurus to suddenly have a change of Faith and what changed their belief systems ?
In most cases …. Serious health issues
I am not grateful they had to go through such serious trauma to get their awakening but I am grateful that they are now realigning to a more healthy, fulfilling way of operating that fills all their bank accounts. Spiritual, Emotional and Physical
I would rather align with my Heart first and then follow Divine Guidance of how to express myself most authentically in Faith that the Highest Version of me that is calling to me and I, will shake hands in the near future one beautiful soul experience at a time along the journey
One of the people whose advised practices really turned my stomach but had so many ardent fans who has gone through and is still recovering from serious illness who is thankfully taking some time to use holistic methods to heal admitted that through one of those practices came to see that the reason they worked such longer hours and inadvertently advocated that method so virulently was because after experiencing childhood poverty deep down regardless of how wealthy they were was scared if they stopped working they would run out of money
I have to say I deeply admired they admitted this publicly but as I mentioned I have been feeling this for a long time and started compiling this blog post a long time ago and I ignored my intuition that eventually proved right and my intuition is telling me by their current posts they are still not healed from this negative belief and I am concerned that illness will return because there is a pattern there that is subconsciously using their current situation to use their old vehicle of attracting business and making money
That’s why I say beware of false gurus
I have to say at this point I do not blame any of these people
They had no idea what they were doing
They had no idea what was motivating them
And
Because their work and business methods yielded such positive results and they deeply care for people and wanted them to experience wealth and success to they understandably stood loud and proud and said “Follow Me, Do This. This Works. This Will Help You” because bottom line they are deeply compassionate caring people to the detriment to their own health and needs
False Gurus is a massive statement to make but what I mean by False Gurus is genuine people, believing in what they are selling but to the detriment to their Health and Wellbeing and the Health and Wellbeing of others because they don’t know what is truly motivating them until they probably have to face a dark night of the soul because they have been far to busy working they haven’t given themselves time to listen to the callings of their hearts so they are selling one message on the outside but on the inside the message could be completely different which they are most likely drowning out with activity
As I mentioned above I have literally read in the last 24 hours of writing this someone admit they have ignored signals from their body because they were to busy working (and telling multiple people to work this same way) and they are now facing multiple health issues and are imploring people to not ignore the signs
When we are out of Alignment with our true source we are sending cortisol around our bodies and leaving ourselves open to stress related illnesses and all sorts of ailments. In actuality aliments are nature’s alarm system to warns us we are out of balance with our true selves. Fear is also an alarm system but instead of asking ourselves what is it trying to tell us we block it out with Drink, Alcohol, Cigarettes …. work !!
I have a vision myself of a business method I truly want to build but I decided to stop and stop worrying basically about the how and come off the Level 2, Level of Consciousness “By Me” and listen to my Heart and follow one Inspired Action step after one Inspired Action step after another and surrender to the outcome and forget timelines and deadlines and walk in Faith of the yet unseen becoming physical
If this article Inspires You to do anything I hope it is Stop !! Take a breath and listen to Your Soul Speaking to You
See where you have been ignoring it
Give it an opportunity to Say something
Give yourself permission “Not” to take “Any” action
Give Yourself “Time” to recalibrate and realign and listen again
I am learning more and more that our Hearts are the Seat of Our Soul and that “WE ALL” have a gift to share with the world and to access that gift lay’s within.
Within our Heart
Our Hearts will never lie to us when we give it space to speak
As a recently certified Advanced Ho’Oponopono Practitioner I really enjoyed about learning the process of Dr Joe Vitale that does speak to my heart
Inspiration
Intention
Clearing
Trust it to unfold
Before taking any action do something to allow pure Inspiration to come through. Meditate, walk, music. Something joyful to raise your vibration and get to what is called in Ho’Oponopono Zero. The place of nothingness. No thought. Pure potentiality and where we were before we allowed other people’s opinions, experiences and beliefs to cloud our vision.
In this place of high vibration we are open to Inspiration
When a thought drops in. An inspired idea set the Intention for it to manifest.
Do some kind of clearing. It could be breath work or repeating the Ho,Oponopono Prayer “I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you”
Take any inspired actions that come to mind. Call that friend, visit that place etc and then trust it to unfold
Rinse repeat
When I say rinse repeat I mean it on two levels
Rinse repeat taking some regular time, every day if possible but don’t berate yourself if you miss a day. We all get those unforeseen’s. Even for a few seconds to take, for example some slow deep breaths and then see if any ideas or action steps come to mind or even ask your Heart “What will do have me do?” and follow Guidance. Even if nothing comes it is always beneficial to start making time to just “Stop”. The more you “Stop” the more Your heart has opportunities to come to You.
Also
Rinse repeat taking time to have a date with your Soul or Your Ultimate self. Those desires of your heart are your soul calling to you come over here because Your Ultimate self is already there, living that life you desire otherwise you wouldn’t feel them. They just wouldn’t resonate with You. Sitting quietly taking some slow breaths through the nose. Holding for a few seconds and then releasing with your mouth open, dropping the jaw as you exhale can connect back into your Heart and then allow the Vision of Your Hearts to Desire to Manifest on Your Mental Screen
The more you date Your Ultimate Self You will eventually ….
Live the life You truly desire. Not the life of some False Guru self who doesn’t know they are living and acting out of Fear instead of Faith !!
The other day I read in Pam Grouts blog about someone saying the affirmation “Unexpected money comes to me everyday ”
What have I got to lose I said to myself?
After a very luxurious Valentines weekend away being thoroughly spoilt I didn’t expect to be indulged any more but my partner had other plans and after starting to say the affirmation he lavished me with more gifts on an unplanned shopping trip.
It wasn’t physical money but I silently gave thanks for the unexpected money used to purchase these items.
I’ve read to receive more money be grateful even if it’s a penny and straight after I read about the affirmation I unexpectedly found a 2 pence lurking at the bottom of my bag.
I remembered to be grateful and have saved it as a reminder.
The other day I was having trouble contacting my broadband provider about a message I had received but remembered it said I needed to act before the end of February and as Feb draws to a close I was beginning to get slightly anxious.
Yesterday acknowledging the anxiety, I reminded myself there is a solution to every problem and that anxiety is harmful and to trust that everything will work out. I set a reminder in my calendar to alert me on my arrival home from work that this subject needed addressing.
The alert came and I set about sorting this issue. To cut a not very long story shorter I dealt with two extremely helpful assistants and even got money off my broadband package and free access to their sports TV channels for as long as I am receiving Broadband from them.
You might see that as ‘they do that anyway’ but to me this was unexpected money coming to me because I thought they we’re going to put the cost up.
I am very grateful and very happy and I am definitely going to keep saying the affirmation because I am certainly not losing anything and gaining a lot
