BLOG #12: The Powerful, Amazing Ho’oponopono Prayer
retrieved from www.deskofbrian.com
An important part of ho’oponopono is to ask: What is it in me that is causing this event to take place, this person to behave this way, this sickness to manifest, etc.? Blaming others practically guarantees that the problem will happen again. Every problem can be seen as a blessing and an opportunity to constantly “clean” our energy to make way for divine energy to guide and inspire us.
All that happens in our lives is not our fault, but it is our responsibility, which means we must accept it, own it, and love it.
This all makes sense if we remember that we create our own reality. This means that whatever we experience, whatever we see, feel, and perceive with our senses is coming from within us. We have no one to blame but ourselves if negative things happen to us. So what is the solution to this? What can we do about it, especially if we believe that we are responsible only for what we ourselves do, not what anyone else does?
As mentioned in a website article on Joe Vitale’s book Zero Limits, “The basics of ho’oponopono is that we take 100% responsibility for whatever comes into our experience, whether it is something we ourselves are doing or it is a problem with a loved one, if someone confides in us about a problem, or even if we hear something on the news. Anything that evokes negative emotion which includes doubt, fear, guilt, etc.” (http://www.essenceofthedivine.com/hooponopono.html)
Although Ho’oponopono is very deep with many levels, a short version is to picture the person, event, problem, or situation you are out of alignment with and repeat this very simple prayer:
“I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”
When you say “I love you”, the energy is transmuted from stuck to flowing. It reconnects you to the Divine/God/Source.
By saying “I’m sorry” and “Please forgive me”, you are telling the Divine that you want forgiveness inside yourself for whatever brought the negativity to you. You are not asking God/the Divine to forgive you; you are asking the Divine to help you forgive yourself.
When you say “Thank you”, you are expressing gratitude and showing faith that the issue will be resolved for the highest good of all concerned.
Say these four sentences as often as possible, especially when you are feeling negatively towards anything or anyone. If you hear or see anything that evokes negative feelings, say the prayer.
An amazing example of the power of this prayer
The power of this prayer came to the forefront through a therapist in Hawaii named Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. Unbelievable as it sounds, he cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients at the Hawaii State Hospital without even seeing them. It was such a dangerous place that there was high employee turnover, and psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The patients were so violent they were often shackled, none could leave, and they were denied visits with family. During the four years that he was there, he studied the inmates’ charts and looked within himself to see how he was part of creating that person’s illness. As he improved himself, the patients improved.
Dr. Len never saw the patients. He agreed to have an office on-site and review their files. While he read the files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal. Eventually, patients were being allowed to walk freely without shackles, those who were heavily medicated were getting off of their medications, and those who never had a chance of being released were being freed. In addition, the staff absenteeism and turnover disappeared.
So what was Dr. Len doing within himself that caused these people to change?
He said that he was merely healing the part of himself that brought them into his life. He explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life—simply because it is in your life—is your responsibility. In a truly literal sense, the entire world is our own creation.
This is very hard to understand. Being responsible for what we say or do is one thing. But being responsible for what everyone in our lives says or does is quite different. Yet the truth is this: If we take complete responsibility for our lives, then everything we see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is our responsibility because it is in our lives.
So, anything that we don’t like—the government, the economy, the big corporations, politicians—is our responsibility to heal. The problem isn’t with them, it is with us—and to change these things, we have to change ourselves. This is tough to accept, because blame is far easier than total responsibility. But healing for Dr. Len and in ho’oponopono means loving yourself. If we want to improve our lives, we have to heal our lives. It we want to cure anyone, we do it by healing ourselves.
How did Dr. Len heal himself? What was he doing when he read those patients’ files? He just kept saying over and over again, “I’m sorry” and “I love you.”
It turns out that loving ourselves is the greatest way to improve ourselves, and as we improve ourselves, we improve our world. So the next time something negative happens to you, try this: Keep saying to yourself silently or aloud, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.” You are simply asking the spirit of love to heal within you what was creating the outer circumstance that was negative.
Whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there’s only one place to look: inside you. And when you look, do it with love. Dr. Len’s message is that we are all responsible for everything we see in our world. By taking full personal responsibility and healing the wounded places without ourselves, we can heal ourselves and the world.
The four-stage process for ho’oponopono work is as follows: Whenever a place for healing presents itself in your life, open to the place where the hurt is within you, and with as much feeling as you can, say:
Ø I love you.
Ø I’m sorry.
Ø Please forgive me.
Ø Thank you.
