I love you

I’m sorry

Please forgive me

Thank-you

 The combination of these four short simple phrases may just be the key to unlocking your potential and bringing happiness, prosperity, love and wealth into your life according to ho’oponopono. No, it’s not the latest dance craze! Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and reconciliation. Traditionally it was practiced by family members for a person who was physically ill. It was thought that guilt over errors the person had committed had made them sick. We can therefore say it was a kind of karma cleansing tool.

However, modern researchers have found that the applications of ho’oponopono can have far reaching implications and can be used in any situation, problem, issue, relationship or concern – simply by directing the four key mantras above to the most important point of healing and manifestation of all – you.

Self Healing

Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len was a therapist at the Hawaii State Hospital. He worked with patients who had been diagnosed as dangerous and criminally insane. When he began working there, the ward he was on was assigned to was not a good place to be. The staff including the doctors quit or called in sick on a regular basis. It was a high-stress environment with many staff terrified of the patients and we can say, it was just as bad for the patients as many of them were shackled or heavily sedated.

As Dr. Hew Len would review a patient’s file he would practice ho’oponopono repeating the key mantras over and over again and directing them not at the patients as you might have expected, but at himself. At the centre of ho’oponopono lies the belief that we all have a responsibility for the reality we experience. So, Dr. Hew Len believed that to heal these patients he would first have to heal himself. and as he did so, incredibly, even patients he had never seen began to heal. Patients came off their medication, stopped being violent and some were even released. So, people began enjoying coming to work there and absenteeism and staff turnover stopped.

Dr. Hew Len’s story then began to circulate and as people began to practice this amazing, profound yet simple technique they began to see incredible changes take place in their lives as blockages to success, to happiness and wellbeing just seemed to disappear.

Look Inside

Ho’oponopono says that anything you don’t like that is going on in the world – be it your annoying co-worker or boss, to the economy, to the war in Afghanistan, is up to you to heal. When you heal yourself with love then the world is healed with you. If you wish to change something in your life, if you wish to attract something to you, then look inside you as there is no ‘out there’. In short, it is already within waiting for you to love yourself to come into being.

I love you

I’m sorry

Please forgive me

Thank-you
