The mysteries of Ho’Oponopono
Arts EntertainmentsMany people claim that Hawaiian Ho’oponopono is one of the most powerful healing techniques. Is this true? What is all this?
Ho’oponopono is the Hawaiian way of “doing things right” (ho’o-to make, pono-right). It is a powerful Hawaiian ritual that has been used for many years to manifest healing, love, peace and harmony within ourselves and our relationships.
According to Hawaiian beliefs, we are connected through our aka (energy cords, also umbilical cord) to each other and to everything around us. The relationship with ourselves, nature and others is like a network. If any part of it is in disharmony, the whole web becomes entangled, resulting in friction and conflict. Through Ho’oponopono we are releasing guilt, resentments or tensions correlated to past behaviors and restoring the network with balance and harmony.
Ho’oponopono is all about forgiveness and forgiving to clear the way to ascend to peace and harmony within ourselves. If we take responsibility, all problems can be solved from within. In Ho’oponopono we forgive others and finally we forgive ourselves. By chanting the Ho’oponopono prayer, we are not only putting things right within ourselves and the people in our current relationships, we are also asking our ancestors for forgiveness. The power does not reside in the ritual and/or mediator but in our sincere intention and sincere desire to correct the evil. The communication between us and the divine is of extraordinary importance in the Ho’oponopono ritual. Words, spoken with sincere love, have tremendous power to bring about positive change.
Ho’oponopono is a way of letting go and clearing the way. We can balance and resolve internal conflicts within ourselves, our relationships or our environment through Ho’oponopono. The end result is true healing and enlightenment. With Ho’oponopono we can erase or change unwanted negative energies and thoughts, replacing them with new thoughts that will ultimately bring peace, harmony and love. Through Ho’oponopono, the power of forgiveness manifests miraculous results.
29 years ago, I became a firm believer in the tremendous power of Ho’oponopono and have been using it ever since. This is how I found out about this Hawaiian transformational healing ritual: I left Germany and moved to Hawaii with my 4 year old son when he was 27 years old. My mother was devastated that her only child and her grandson had moved so far away from her. Understandably, she was very angry, sad and depressed and she refused to talk to me on the phone or answer my letters. I love my mother and I was very upset because I didn’t know how to restore our relationship.
I told one of my neighbors, an elderly Hawaiian who later became a dear friend of mine, about my problem. He said, “You must use Ho’oponopono with your mother. She will heal and resolve your conflicts.” He then wrote the Ho’oponopono prayer on a piece of paper for me and told me to keep reading it out loud to myself with much love and sincerity. I will never forget when he said that the spoken words of the Ho’oponopono prayer have tremendous power and radiate energy that will restore peace and harmony. At the time, all of this was hard to believe, but I did it anyway with a very strong desire to heal the relationship between me and my mother. After about a week of using Ho’oponopono, I received the first letter from my mother that started the resolution of our relationship problems.
I would like to share my Hawaiian friend’s Ho’oponopono prayer with you, in the hope that it will lead you to peace and harmony with yourself and your relationships:
Divine (name what is sacred to you),
If I (write your name), and relatives and ancestors at any time offended (write your name) your family, relatives and ancestors in words, thoughts and deeds from the beginning of our creation to the presence I humbly ask forgiveness for me, my family and my ancestors.
Release us from spiritual, mental, physical, financial and karmic bondage from the beginning of our creation to presence. If others have offended me, I forgive them. Extract from our memory banks and biocomputers all unwanted negative energies and blocks that we have created or accumulated.
Cut all the ties that bind us. Transmutes all unwanted negative energies into pure light, that divine order, wisdom and understanding. Peace of mind and balance manifest within and through us.
We give thanks in the name of (name what is sacred to you) and it is done!
I have been practicing Ho’oponopono regularly for years. The effectiveness and results always amaze me. Using Ho’oponopono with the right intention and attitude never fails to produce the desired results. I often use it without having any specific problems and just address the prayer to the world, which leaves me with a feeling of deep inner peace.
My Ho’oponopono experience inspired me to create the Menehune twins, Lulu and Lohaku (Peace and Harmony). They are Ho’oponopono mediators who perform a ritual to restore peace and harmony within their Menehune family. Here is part of Lulu and Lohaku’s story:
Lulu and Lohaku are Menehune’s ambassadors of peace and harmony. Together they perform the sacred and ancient Hawaiian ritual of Ho’oponopono. Whenever there are problems and disagreements between their Menehune Ohana (family) members, Lulu and Lohaku show up to set things right again through Ho’oponopono. They begin their ritual with a prayer of love and forgiveness asking for balance, peace and harmony to be restored. Lulu waves the Ti blade at her to clear a path for the truth to appear. Lohaku’s Kukui Nut Ihoiho (torch) is the shining heart of love and forgiveness. Lulu and Lohaku never fail to restore peace and harmony between their Menehune Ohana. Also, they never forget to bring an Aloha (love) gift. Today they brought out a big sweet Hawaiian Kahiki (pineapple) for everyone to share.
When Lulu and Lohaku close their Ho’oponopono ritual, all problems have been resolved and the Menehunes have big happy smiles on their faces again.
Open yourself to the Mana (spiritual energy) of Lulu and Lohaku. They will perform a Ho’oponopono ritual for you as well to restore peace and harmony in all your relationships……
