Introduction to Ho’oponopono
In this introduction to the ancient Hawaiian healing art of ho’oponopono, I will
tell you a little about what it is, what it does and how you can use it to heal
and empower yourself.
The basis of ho’oponopono is to clean or cleanse the mind of unwanted
blockages that are the result of bad past experiences and the negative
emotional association with them.
Part of this process involves forgiving your past mistakes through a short
mantra that is repeated often and will be described later in this document.
Forgiveness is a gift we all love, but do not know how to get it. It's okay if
getting this gift from yourself seems difficult for some people.
It can sometimes be difficult to seek forgiveness from others, or even practice
self-forgiveness.
Are you prepared to begin healing through the Hawaiian practice of healing,
empowerment and forgiveness?
Then let’s get into it.

3. The Forgiveness Technique Ho'oponopono:
What Ho'oponopono Means
This practice is powerful and beautiful. The Hawaiian words "ho’o", meaning
"cause", and "pono pono", meaning "perfection" are used together.
It means to "correct an error" or make it right. This forgiveness technique
helps an individual cleanse from the inside, and to let go of bad memories
and mistakes.
History of the Ho'oponopono Technique
Ho'oponopono was developed after the teacher and therapist Dr. Ihaleakala
Hew Len had a life-changing experience.
He used Hawaiin forgiveness techniques to cure an entire hospital of mentally
ill criminals without speaking or interacting with them personally.
It probably sounds surreal, but it actually happened.
The ho'oponopono forgiving technique has power and beauty.
Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len examined each patient's records and applied
Ho'oponopono phrases that make up the mantra. Then, he repeated the
technique.
It changed the mood of the prisoners, their mental activity, as well as the bad
memories they had. Len clearly healed both the prisoners and himself.

4. How to Use the Ho'oponopono Technique
A Complete Guide
You may be worried that practising something so beautiful and powerful will
be difficult.
Ho'oponopono can be practised by anyone, and it is very simple. This
Hawaiian technique of forgiving is like chanting prayers or mantras, it has a
similarity to meditation.
•Sit in an area that is quiet and comfortable.
•Close your eyes (optional).
•Take a few breaths.
•Repeat the following phrase with willingness and truth:
“I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”
If the technique is directed to the self, begin the mantra by saying your own
name.
If the technique is directed to another person, begin the mantra by saying the
person’s name.
It's entirely up to the individual how many times they want to repeat this
ho'oponopono mantra, but it seems the more times you can do it, the better.
Once complete, allow yourself a moment of silence to be healed by these
words. Finally, open your eyes.
Dr. Joe Vitale suggests that you repeat the ho'oponopono affirmations at least
108 times to get the desired effect.

5. Why Ho'oponopono Is Effective:
Unveiling Its Magic
The ho'oponopono mantra’s effectiveness is due to the fact that it doesn't just
focus on forgiving, but instead works on other three aspects that are vital for
complete healing.
The mantra also includes love, forgiveness and gratitude. Let’s expand it to
understand the healing power of Ho'oponopono:
1. I am Sorry - Repentance:
This is where you accept responsibility for a situation or an event, and that it's
okay to feel sorry. Tell yourself that you're sorry about the problem. Accept the
responsibility for it and heal.
2. Please forgive me - Forgiveness:
It clarifies your desire to be forgiven. It doesn't matter who you ask
forgiveness from, just say it.
3. Thank You - Gratitude:
You should thank everyone who has forgiven you, including yourself. Be
thankful to everyone who has forgiven or helped you. Don't worry about
whom you show your gratitude to.

6. 4. I Love you - Love:
Love is undoubtedly a powerful instrument. It is for this reason that showering
with love is a key part of this forgiveness method. This is where you tell
everything that empowers and supports you, including yourself, to love.
It is for these reasons that the full ho'oponopono prayer goes as..
“I love you. I am sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”
Its repetition has a very positive effect on your emotional state while
systematically removing and dissolving the bad memories of past events that
have been the root cause of many of your present problems.

7. Ho'oponopono and When to Use it
Ho'oponopono can be used to forgive at any moment, even while cleaning
the house or going down the street.
Other ways to use the ho'oponopono mantra include:
•When you're occupied with negative thoughts.
•The news can be disturbing in one form or another.
•When you feel that you or others are not acting as you would like.
•When you find yourself in situations that aren't conducive to growth
(e.g., gossiping).
•When something causes you to feel sadness, fear, or doubt.
•Most importantly, before going to sleep, purge yourself of all bad
feelings you have encountered that particular day.
In essence, you should use ho'oponopono when you feel you need it. If life is
not what you imagine it could be, use the practice to clean.
Cleaning is what Dr. Hew Len was actively engaged in when he healed the
inmates of the Hawaii prison hospital. The method was essentially to clean
his own mind of whatever was in there that was causing his involvement with
those prisoners.
By healing the ″whatever″ within himself, by the connection we all have with
each other, he healed those inmates as well.
You can do the same with sufficient practice.

Benefits Beyond Forgiveness
Ho'oponopono has many benefits, but you might think that it is only for
forgiveness. Ho'oponopono is not just for forgiveness. It has many benefits.
1. Ho'oponopono helps to create HAPPY MEMORIES
Sometimes we hold onto memories that bring up feelings of remorse or
shame. They can also cause pain and worry. The memories that are playing
in our minds on a continuous loop disturb our peace. With the Ho'oponopono
techniques, these memories can be cleansed and neutralized to create brand
new ones.
2. Make relationships BETTER by forgiving others with Ho'oponopono
When we mistakenly blame others for our conflicts, relationships can
deteriorate. We can take on responsibility for the problems we create by
using the Ho'oponopono techniques. By changing our perception we can
become a new version of ourselves.
3. Ho'oponopono brings EMOTIONAL STABILITY to your life
Ho'oponopono is an effective technique to rid ourselves of negative energy
and bring emotional balance back into our lives. Ho'oponopono users have
reported a feeling of freedom, fulfillment and joy in their life when they break
their ties to negativity.

9. 4. A sense of EMPOWERMENT is given by Ho'oponopono
We are often left feeling helpless by our own mistakes and situations.
Because we think that we are powerless and have little or no influence over
the situation. Ho'oponopono is a practice that allows us to take control of our
lives and influence the outcome. It gives you an independent feeling.
Summary
The apparent simplicity of the ho’oponopono technique should not be taken
lightly or considered less effective than other healing methods.
By repeating the simple phrases over and over, the mind is distracted from its
own, destructive inner conversation with itself. This allows the deeper part of
consciousness to use the positive affirmations to affect change and clean the
mental pathways of the debris that has accumulated over a lifetime.
Use ho’oponopono to heal yourself or someone else and feel the freedom to
move forward and grow into the life you want!
