Ho`oponopono

Ho'oponopono was created in ancient Hawaii as a healing prayer to mend relationships. Hawaiian culture holds the belief that a lack of forgiveness results in illness and imbalance in one’s body. Ho’oponopono is designed to restore balance and harmony by re-introducing the forgiveness that is missing and is causing disease. It has gained global popularity over the years and has even shown success for those book smart “neuro”psychologists.

I learned about this “superpower” several years ago from one of my most revered yogi gurus. I’ve been using it ever since for my own self-healing but it wasn't until recently that I learned that it can be used to open the heart of others. For example, Ho'oponopono was used by psychiatric doctor Hew Len to fully rehabilitate an entire wing of convicts at the Hawaiian State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. And the kicker? He did it remotely - through one simple four word prayer.

I practice the Ho’oponopono regularly and am now sending it to someone special. Feel free to do it yourself.

SYL,

Thank you (for being a persistent teacher and demanding I learn the toughest of life’s lessons)

I love you (like I love myself and I understand that we are all scared and can lose sight of the light)

I’m sorry (my path has been mysterious and difficult for you to understand)

Forgive me (and when you’re done forgive yourself)

*The order in which you state this mantra does not matter. Genuinely meaning and believing it does.
