There are few true stories that never grow old and I tell this one in my yoga class every once in a while. With Covid being on the top of our daily news these days, we can take on a lot of stress, fear and anxiety about how we will go about our everyday living. Some say it will take another two years before everyone can return to the office in full capacity. Navigating though this challenges us to be grounded mentally, yet it is an opportunity to tap into all types of resources that maybe we never would have thought of. This true story with Dr. Hew Len is a wonderful example of how we are sharing this struggle together and we can come back into harmony with both ourselves and others by honoring the 'Ho'oponono' mantra. More than thirty years ago, in Hawaii, at the Hawaii State Hospital, there was a special ward, a clinic for the mentally ill criminals. People who had committed extremely serious crimes were assigned there. They had committed murder, rape, kidnapping or other such crimes. No day would pass without a patient-inmate attacking another inmate or a member of the staff.
