A Black woman stands still in the rain as the city moves around her, eyes closed, both hands pressed to her chest. Rain streaks her skin and hair, but her energy is calm—centered. A soft orange light glows from beneath her hands at the heart center, symbolizing emotional warmth, inner peace, and spiritual protection. The blurred city lights behind her echo the intensity of the external world, while she remains grounded and inwardly connected. This image reflects the essence of Ho’oponopono as a practice of energetic detachment, nervous system regulation, and returning to love within chaos.

Ho’oponopono

Living Harmony through Ho’oponopono A Daily Practice of Self-Forgiveness, Compassion, and Energetic Alchemy Ho’oponopono came into my life when I was ready to release another layer of pain I didn’t even know I was still carrying. This sacred Hawaiian practice moved through me like a soft current—gentle, but undeniable. What began as a simple spiritual exercise has since become a living, breathing part of how I process, clear, and reclaim my energy. It’s one of the sacred practices that continues to reveal itself in new ways every time I return to it. This post reflects my initial journey of practicing Ho’oponopono.

A radiant Black woman sits at the head of a long, ancient table, cloaked in deep fabrics that shimmer like galaxies and velvet. Her crown is not just gold; it pulses with memory and magic. Her eyes hold lifetimes. Around her sit five distinct figures, each embodying a different facet of her shadow and strength. One wears a skeletal grin and a top hat, laughing with death and timing.

The fourth shimmers with cosmic skin, a keeper of visions and the unseen. The last is mist with gemstone tears, carrying the grief that shaped her into something precious. This is not a war. It is a gathering. A feast of power, truth, and transformation. The woman at the head is not haunted by her shadows. She invites them in, feeds them, and listens. She is the architect of the ritual, the fire in the center, the story they all serve.

Feasting with My Inner Villains

Feasting with My Inner Villains A Ceremony of Shadow and Sovereignty There is a table within me. A long, ornate table lit by candlelight and courage. Around it sit the parts of myself I once tried to exile—the inner villains I feared, avoided, and judged. But now I invite them to dine. Not to tame them. Not to fight them. But to listen, to witness, to understand. This is no ordinary feast. This is a ritual of reclamation. Each of these inner archetypes once stormed through my life like uninvited guests, disrupting my peace, stealing my clarity. Doubt told me I was never enough. Anger flared when I felt invisible. Fear froze me in place just as I tried to leap. I used to call…
