I Love You, I'm Sorry, Please Forgive Me, Thank You

A couple of years ago while listening to Dr. Joe Vitale's CD program, The Missing Secret, I learned about a clearing and cleaning technique called Self Identity Ho'oponopono. Dr. Vitale described the amazing results of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len in Hawaii when he used this technique in his practice on a hospital ward for the criminally insane. In fact, Dr. Len's story was so amazing that I knew I had nothing to lose and everything to gain by using this technique.

Based on an ancient Hawaiian problem solving process, Ho'oponopono, means cause (Ho'o) perfection (ponopono). Morrnah Simeona originally created the process from the ancient Hawaiian teachings. Dr. Len later updated it to develop Self-Identity Ho'oponopono. It is one of the simplest techniques to learn and to implement in everyday life that I have ever used. The process itself involves repentence, forgiveness, and transmutation.

Understanding that we are 100% responsible for attracting everything into our lives-people, places, situations AND our feelings about what we have attracted-is key to begin work with this technique. My experience has been that even if I start without acknowledging my total responsibility, as I repeat the mantras, not only do I accept responsibility but I also feel and experience healing in all situations that may be bothering me.

So, simply stated-and this is the simplest of techniques-Ho'oponopono consists of repeating the following four mantras over and over again:

I love you
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you

At first glance, it sounds too simple, and even a bit off the wall. However, those four simple statements are powerful tools for clearing away old limiting beliefs that are blocking you from what you say you want and bringing you back to your natural state of perfection.

I won't go into the specifics of how Ho'oponopono works. There are many good websites that address this technique. All you have to do is repeat the mantras, either aloud or silently, over and over again for any person or situation that is causing you to feel out of sync. I found that when I first started using the technique, other things would come up as I repeated the mantras that could also use healing. If this happens to you, don't worry about it. Just continue repeating! I have done this for so long that the mantras are repeating themselves in all situations in the back of my mind.

One of the advantages of using Ho'oponopono is that you don't have to know the cause of what's bothering you. Many people give up when they are asked to dig deep to find causes of their problems. I often felt confused and frustrated because I couldn't put my finger on it. But as I used the mantras on the frustration, I gained clarity and insight that I'd not before had.

Today I'm grateful for Ho'oponopono and to those who shared it with us.

I love you!
I'm sorry!
Please forgive me!
Thank you!
