Ho'opponopono -I am sorry, Please forgive me, I love you, I thank you is an age old Hawaiian healing technique followed even today. I call it the forgiveness and letting go technique.
After being introduced to Ho'opponopono, I undertook a 21 day journey of reciting the four lines whilst looking into my eyes through my reflection in the mirror. I used to sing to myself I am sorry, Please forgive me, I love you, I thank you. What seemed very simple at first, led to a series of magical experiences and discoveries.
Initially for a few days nothing happened but as I was getting closer to the 21 day target, something magical transpired. For the first time, feelings of love for myself emanated. I felt very positive, light, calm and peaceful with myself. These feelings were lost somewhere due to the daily hustle and bustle of life. The number of outbursts and the tendency to flare up at petty issues reduced to a great extent. Frustration, depression, and thoughts like nobody understands me nor loves me slowly vanished. Mind you these emotions did come but with timely control and awareness of the turmoil brewing within, these emotions transformed into renewed vitality and kept me pepped up throughout the day.
Next on the list were insecurity and fear. I extended the Ho'opponopono to include I accept you, I respect you, I forgive you. Fear and insecurity transmuted to self confidence. I could accept myself the way I was.
Having experienced this magic, I started experimenting with relationship issues with immediate family and others in general, injurious thought forms created by self or others, physical aches and pains, pride, guilt and jealousy. To my surprise, Ho'opponopono worked beautifully.
I advised my friends facing relationship and insecurity issues to recite Ho'opponopono the effect was phenomenal.
What actually happens during continuous practice of chanting the Ho'opponopono is that the chakras (energy centers), meridians (nadis) aura (panchkoshas) is rid of emotional and mental trauma and healed. Waves of love and peace not only envelop you but radiate through you to your surroundings thus creating love and peace within and around you. The more you forgive and surrender the better is the quality of life.
To sum up, Ho'opponopono can be recited for all kinds of situations like self pity, injurious thought forms directed at oneself or others, healing relationships, relieving physical pain, release fear and insecurity, even heartbreaks, weight loss or weight gain due to emotional trauma.
Reciting I am sorry, Please forgive me, I love you, Thank you, I accept you, I respect you, I forgive you for 15 minutes and ending it by hugging oneself allows the emotions to flow like water. Allow yourself to release all the unwanted emotional baggage.
For physical pain, visualise the area concerned and recite the lines.
For relationship issues visualise the individual standing in front of you and then recite. Do visualise hugging the person at the end.
The best time is just before going to sleep. You need to be patient nothing comes overnight.
Forgive and you will be forgiven holds true...
