Ho'oponopono Technique

Learn the ho'oponopono technique for healing, cleaning and manifesting your desires in a simple four-part mantra that is easy and fast to remember.

To become proficient at actualizing the basic method of ho'oponopono, you need to learn the four phrases that make up the affirmation set that hold the power of this ancient Hawaiian healing prayer technique.

The beautiful nature of this powerful practice for forgiveness is itself a wondrous gift.

As the Hawaiian word for "ho'o", which means "cause", is combined with "ponopono" meaning "to make right," you can see the full meaning is to right the wrongs of the past.

This term means literally "to correct a error" by making it right in the present. It is a forgiveness technique which cleanses an individual's soul and helps them to let go of any negative memories or mistakes.

Background

Many years ago, Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, the teacher and therapist is credited with using ho'oponopono, which means a way of expressing forgiveness, in its modern form.

He used this Hawaiian forgiveness technique without ever meeting or speaking to any of the mentally ill criminals housed in Hawaii's mental hospital for the criminally insane that he healed successfully.

Sounds surreal?

This ho'oponopono technique is all about expressing forgiveness through a repetitive spoken pattern of short phrases.

Dr. Hew Len took a look at each patient's records and used the set of words to repeat the technique.

It made a difference in the mental activity, mood, and bad memories of detainees.

The results were clear and showed that Dr. Len had the ability to heal all the prisoners as well his own body (true to what we stated in our opening quotation).

It is truly a great healing process.
