My Ho’oponopono Letter to Money

Dear Money,

“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

 
I am writing to you because I would like to acknowledge you for the major role that you have been playing in my life. You have been highlighting divine lessons for my awareness. As I reflected over this, I realised that what I would like to express is Ho’oponopono in the following words: 
 

“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

For a start, I wish to apologise. There have been times in the past when I had complained, blamed or resented you. However, I have increasingly become aware of how you have been serving as a mirror to my inner world. In fact, you have been providing me with excellent feedback on how I can better make a shift. The lessons that you bring are often tough but they are, at the same time, ILLUMINATING.

Next, I would like to ask for forgiveness for being reckless and unconscious. I now know NEVER to chase you nor ignore my issues with you. Through presenting situations, you have taught me enough: avoid get-rich-schemes, not to participate in rumor-backed trades and to be financially prudent. As I had discovered, either way – whether it is about chasing or ignoring you – is not going to lead me into establishing a better relationship with you. And a better relationship has to be BALANCED.

Well, I would love to work on improving our relationship. I understand that if I hold negative thoughts or feelings about you, you are not likely to appear often. Indeed, I have long discovered that it is up to me to make a change. I have realized that I am to treat you on friendlier terms – rather than an enemy – should I wish to see more of you.

Indeed, I thank you for your presence. I now know that I need to uphold a space of abundance, in order to invite you into my home. My invitation is to be kept open; without any wild attempts on my part to exercise control, plead or scold. You like to come only when I surrender any attachment to you or an outcome that involves you. In fact, you are more likely to stay if I don’t cling on to you.

Finally, I love and accept you fully. Like everything else, you deserve unconditional love. I accept that I need to come into a balanced relationship with you. Thus, I no longer wish to apply any false idol worship. In fact, I wish to perceive you in the best possible light. By this, I hope to be able to channel the essence of love and light, with you as an instrument of spiritual purpose.

All in, with much sincerity, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

The decision to transform my relationship with you is one I am happy to make!

With love,

P.S. As part of my September Gratitude Challenge, I posted a gratitude post and address it to Money on my Facebook Page two days ago. However, while trying to cut and paste the content of what I wrote on Facebook to over here on my blog for sharing, I accidentally deleted the original post dated September 18. Much to my dismay, I can’t retrieve it back. And so, I am rewriting this piece – albeit a much longer one – here on my blog 🙂

P.S.S. Credit goes to the Ho’oponopono (ho-o-pono-pono), an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness for the inspired words: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
