Ho’oponopono – The Hawaiian secret

Hello friends,

what! Already the last article of the week! Where has the time gone?

Last Friday, I watched the movie Soul Surfer, which is a movie based on a true story. I wanted to watch that movie in particular with my nephew even if it was my second time watching it. My nephew asked, “What kind of music is this?” a part in the film where there seem to be chanting in the local language of Hawaii. I replied to him saying that it was the local language in Hawaii. It definitely wasn’t the time to discuss the culture or look into the song which seemed more like chanting.

Something about thinking about the chanting reminded me of Ho’oponopono which is something I have learnt while I was in a women’s group chat. I have used Ho’oponopono as a healing practice as well. I thought I’ll share with you its origins and what the secret is. Ho’oponopono translates directly to correction i.e. Ho’o (to make) pono (right) and then the repetition of pono is (to make right with yourself and others). This is a practice that traditional Hawaiian healers use. Ho’oponopono cuts the wrongdoing by renewing the connection. Now there are no statistics on this healing and it’s so true that what isn’t from western origin usually has belief and faith more than statistics. So many people who initially meet concepts like Ho’oponopono, mantras in Buddhism or Hinduism who usually are part of the culture or introduced to it from a very young age just have faith and belief in it because it comes from years and years of ancient history purely because the science behind it never really existed only faith and belief existed. Ho’oponopono is based on the premise that you take responsibility for everything that you see in this world especially if it’s in your life.

What is Ho’oponopono?

It is the chanting of these four words, i.e. I love you, I thank you, I am sorry, please forgive me. Which is effectively repentance, forgiveness, gratitude and love. You can chant this in any order at any time to yourself i.e. when you are worried, angry, sad, having bad memories, having financial worries etc. whatever state as a way to heal yourself, cleanse or purify yourself or you can say it to the person you want to heal. You don’t even have to have a reason to say these words. There’s actually a therapist known as Ihaleakala Hew Len who cured every patient in the criminally insane ward of a Hawaii State Hospital using Ho’oponopono. He didn’t even talk to the patients. Research it.

The process

This article is really good it goes into the basic process and the advance process. On the page, you will also find that there’s also information about meditation and chanting as well as symbols.

I’ve also heard people using Ho’oponopono when it comes to finances. Going back to parts of your childhood and your relationship with money, visualising that moment in your life and healing those areas using the words I love you, I thank you, please forgive me, I’m sorry.

I found it effective when you say the words out loud.

The Hawaiians believe this is the secret to forgiveness according to many articles which I’ve researched on this topic. It’s almost as if it releases karma and cuts cords with the ancestors with regards to the pain or wrongdoing. As mentioned earlier the name Ihalekala Hew Len, he co-authored a book titled “Zero limits” which is about getting to the state of zero and about Ho’oponopono.

I’ve also used the prayers of Ho’oponopono that I found on YouTube as a process to heal.

Here are all the possible options for healing using Ho’oponopono on YouTube.
