More on Stress and Locus of Control. Could it ALL be internal?

No sooner did I sink my teeth into comments by Peter and Diana on my article at Blogcritics Managing Stress: It’s Not Just How You Look At It in which we debate where the lines exist between internal and external locus of control than I read an article highlighted by Steve Pavlina about Dr. Joe Vitale and a Hawaiian therapist, Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, in which they set out to blow the whole distinction out of the water.

Dr. Len practices Ho'Oponopono. Here is an excerpt of his description of his work in a ward for the criminally insane:

[Dr.Len] agreed to have an office and to review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal.

"I was simply healing the part of me that created them," he said.

"I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again," he explained. [as he sat in his office, reading their files]

He reported that as he continued this practice there were actually significant reports of improvement in the ward.

It's quite an interesting article. Here's thefull story

It's interesting for me, personally, as well. As a student of Dahn Yoga, this is a practice that we engage in also, although we direct it toward ourselves rather than externally (at least at this point...maybe the instructors are laying the groundwork for this to extend outward). Guess I'll take that practice a little more to heart. I don't know how fully I buy into this yet, but what could it possibly hurt?
