Winning at zero and with personal responsibility- Kamaile Rafaelovich on Self Identity Through Ho'oponopono
Manage episode 438461880 series 3543162
Reaching and being in a state of zero is vital for Fairfax, Northern Virginia criminal defense and DUI lawyer Jonathan Katz. Jon Katz has learned and applies this approach of zero through taijiquan, mindfulness, nonduality, and Self Identity Through Ho'oponopono (SITH). Taijiquan master Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo taught that by being at zero, we are never chasing nor letting outside forces nor influences guide our path. Mindfulness helps us clean our internal gunk and vibrate away new gunk. Nonduality / non-attachment enables us to find, harness and unleash our power internally, without gauging our well being by outside circumstances, and helps us live in the moment. The samurai who is not in the moment, is fearful of possible death, and is thinking of their next move is more likely to have their head lopped off. Self Identity Through Ho'oponopono is about taking personal responsibility -- which is also central to conscious leadership -- for what we are experiencing and perceiving; cleaning our internal gunk, data and memories; and emanating that approach to the benefit of our family members and everyone else.
No matter how sensible or not the foregoing practices appear at first, this approach works powerfully for Jon Katz both in his criminal defense work and in his personal life. Jon learned about SITH in 2011, and that year met one of its main teachers and practitioners -- and Jon's very important teacher Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, whose first words to Jon upon their meeting each other was "lawyer". Dr. Hew Len was a psychologist, dealing with plenty of people experiencing psychological imbalance, and Jon Katz deals with people having such experiences through his criminal defense work.
Ihaleakala Hew Len took his last breath in 2022. Kamaile Rafaelovich (also spelled Kamailelauli'I) -- known as KR -- is president of IZI, LLC, which teaches and applies SITH. KR learned about SITH from its founder Morrnah Simeona before Dr. Hew Len started learning from Morrnah. KR has blessed Jon by joining him for this podcast.
