To Balance When There is Conflict.
Before time, there was I'o.
I'o is the infinite source of creation.
Also considered a God … "the God who created the Gods" … in some traditions, the name was considered too sacred to be spoken aloud.
In the Kumulipo … the Hawaiian "creation chant" … I'o is the un-manifest source that preceded creation, and from which the universe was created.
I'o is the "infinite potential" … the infinite source of creation.
The I'o Process is a simple and powerful technique for using the "infinite potential" of I'o for restoring balance. By doing this process you will gain new perspective ... create harmony ... smooth-out relationships ... and you can even turn an enemy into a friend.
It is always "win-win!"
Here is the basic process you can use when there is conflict with an individual.
You will imagine looking at the situation from three points-of-view.
1. Yours.
2. The other person's.
3. And "rising above it all" … from the highest perspective.
Now …
The I'o Process
Begin your session.
Relax your body from head to toe.
Relax your mind.
Fully experience your point-of-view.
Begin your session.
Relax your body from head to toe.
Relax your mind.
Fully experience your point-of-view.
· What kind of person are you?
· What are your beliefs?
· What are the possible resolutions?
· What is happening?
· What is your state of mind?
Be totally "here" and pay attention to your positive intentions and your highest purpose for resolving this issue.
Record your experience.
Then …
Imagine "stepping out of yourself" …
… and going over … and "stepping into" the other person.
Imagine experiencing this different point-of-view as if you are them … remembering people always have positive reasons for their behavior and they are always making the best decisions they can with the resources they have available.
Fully experience their point-of-view.
· What kind of person are you?
· What are your beliefs?
· What are the possible resolutions?
· What is happening?
· What is your state of mind?
Be totally "here" and pay attention to your positive intentions and your highest purpose for resolving this issue.
Record your experience.
Then …
Imagine "stepping out of their body" …
… going out … and rising above it all.
Keep rising higher and higher until you reach the highest perspective …
… the "unlimited potential" of I'o.
Pretend as if you have become I'o and you are looking down at the two people from I'o's point-of-view.
"As I'o" … take a deep breath, and inhale both people into you.
Allow the resolution to develop … or if nothing is reached consciously, then you can know the Universe will provide the answer.
Then exhale the individuals back down to earth.
Record your experiences.
Return to your body … and end your session feeling great.
