The Healing Practice of Ho'oponono
by Boyd Martin How Quantum Physics Does HealthI learned about this ancient Hawaiian practice several years ago, and have so thoroughly adopted it into my spiritual practice, I had forgotten its origins.
Ho'oponopono grew out of Hawaiian shamanic (Huna) practices of forgiveness. They believed that all illness was caused by an "error" of failing to forgive a community or family member, or ancestor. The anger and frustration created from this failure to forgive caused illness, and to cure it, a protocol of forgiveness, confession and acceptance was necessary. They believed that to forgive is the essence of healing.
The word Ho'oponopono itself translates as "the act of putting things right"--with your family, community and ultimately yourself. In fact, a modernization of this practice was developed by Ihaleakala Hew Len, a student of the kahuna shaman, Morrnah Simeona. In his book, Zero Limits, Len concentrates the Ho'oponopono practice into a four-step mantra. Chanting this mantra silently or out loud when one is feeling ill, has a body symptom, or negative emotional state, helps to remove it, and bring the person to a "zero state" where healing can begin.
When I began this process, I went through my entire contacts list, including all family and friends, and repeated the mantra on each. It took a while, but I must say I got to a significant release point with the process, and noticed that many of my body symptoms resolved either immediately, or over a short time.
Now, it's pretty much automatic to repeat the mantra anytime I find myself "caught up" with another person, or when I experience body discomforts, or negative emotions. Here is the mantra:
- I am sorry.
- Please forgive me.
- Thank you.
- I love you.
