What is Ho'oponopono
Have you heard of the Hawaiian therapist who cured an entire ward of criminally insane patients?
The therapist was Dr Ihaleakala Hew Len and he used Ho'oponopono to do it.
Ho'oponopono is a hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. It translates into english simply as correction.
The secret is there is no such thing as “out there” – everything happens to you in your mind. Everything you see, everything you hear, every person you meet, you experience in your mind. You only think it’s “out there” and you think that absolves you of responsibility.
In fact it’s quite the opposite: you are responsible for everything you think, and everything that comes to your attention. If you watch the news, everything you hear on the news is your responsibility. That sounds harsh, but it means that you are also able to clear it, clean it, and through forgiveness change it.
Dr Len's had an idea of 100% responsibility. If one would take complete responsibility for one's life, then everything one sees, hears, tastes, touches, or in any way experiences would be one's responsibility because it is in one's life..The problem would not be with our external reality, it would be with ourselves. Total Responsibility, according to Hew Len, advocates that everything exists as a projection from inside the human being.
So how can I use Ho'oponopono
The main objective of Hoʻoponopono is getting to the "zero state — it's where we have zero limits.
"To reach this state (which Dr Len called 'SITH - Self-I-Dentity through Ho'oponopono') you can start by repeating the following mantra:
"I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you."
It is a simple four step process.
Step 1: Repentance – I’M SORRY
Say "I'm sorry".The first step is to realise you are responsible for everything in your mind, even if it seems to be outside. Once you realise this it is very natural to feel sorry for all the troubles in the world. You can start by saying sorry for something you have caused yourself e.g. addiction to alcohol or smoking or being overweight or a lack of confidence or health issues. You could also say I realize that I am responsible for the issues(s) in my life and I feel remorse that my consciousness has allowed this.
Step 2: Ask Forgiveness - PLEASE FORGIVE ME
Say "PLEASE FORGIVE ME". It doesn't matter who you are asking. Just ask! . Repeat and mean what you say and be aware of the repentance from step 1.
Step 3: Gratitude - THANK YOU
Say “THANK YOU”. It is not important to whom or for what you are thanking. Thank various things. Thank your body for all it does for you. Thank yourself for being the best you can be. Thank God./a higher power/ the universe. Thank whatever it was that just forgave you. Just keep saying THANK YOU. There is amazing power in gratitude and thanking.
Step 4: Love - I LOVE YOU
Say I LOVE YOU. Say it to your body, say it to God/a higher power/the universe.. Say I LOVE YOU to everything around you. The world , your environment, your home, the people around you, your successes and your challengers. Repeat it and mean it. Feel it.
