Ho’oponopono- What Is It, And How Can It Help You?
“What is Ho’oponopono?
Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing tool that is becoming very popular due to its simplicity and the profound effects being reported around the globe.
Essentially, it comprises of 4 statements:
· Please Forgive Me.
· I Am Sorry.
· I Love You.
· Thank You.
These 4 statements are said each time we have a reaction to someone or something outside ourselves that manifests as anger, blame, judgement, criticism, guilt, fear, and so on.
Dr Hew Len practised a version of Ho’oponopono called Self- Identity through Ho’oponopono, and this version teaches that we are 100% responsible for everything that we see and feel. As we come to understand that everything outside of us is a reflection of a part of us that we are sometimes not aware of, we begin to understand projection. We project onto others our unresolved conflicts and emotions. If someone is making you angry, they are simply showing you a part of yourself that you are angry with. All your reactions are your responsibility.
Therefore, each time you have a reaction to something outside of yourself, you need to go within and find the part of you that it is reflecting. If the person in front of you is making you angry, enquire as to what is making you cross? If it is that the person is not listening to you, where do you not listen to yourself? If it is that the person is selfish, where are you selfish? If the person is being unreasonable, where are you unreasonable and so on. The way to use Ho’oponopono in this instance would be to say silently to yourself:
To the part of me that doesn’t listen to myself
· Please Forgive Me.
· I Am Sorry.
· I Love You.
· Thank You.
What is important is to say the sentences consciously and feel the underlying repentance, forgiveness, and letting go. Practising Ho’oponopono brings about a sense of peace and physical relaxation, and it can be used at anytime and anywhere.
Here are some examples of issues that you may be projecting onto others:
· Bossiness
· Laziness
· Emotional unavailability
· Selfishness
· Weakness
· Controlling
· Forgetfulness
· Ungratefulness
· Unwillingness
· Refusing to hear/see you
· Unloving
· Co-dependence
· Violence
· Victimhood
· Martyrdom
If you are experiencing an issue repeatedly, for example, partners that do not respect you, then Ho’oponopono would be a good tool to use as you explore the part of you that does not respect yourself. If you find that your life is filled with people that use you, where is the part of you that uses others? If people lie to you, can you find a place inside that you know lies to others?
This work requires honesty and will encourage a self-awareness that will enable you to have more integrity, the more you use Ho’oponopono.
An example of the power of Ho’oponopono is when in 1983, Dr Hew Len was asked to become the psychologist in a high security unit that was inhabited by criminals and many of them were in seclusion and shackled because they were violent individuals and a threat to the other inmates. There were absolutely no family visits. There had been a large turnover of staff, and the morale of the staff that remained was very low, and sickness and absenteeism in the staff was a common occurrence.
Fully understanding that peace begins with self, he took the job, and decided to work on himself. He repeatedly used Ho’oponopono and worked on his own perceptions. He worked on whatever was going on in him that perceived the unit to be as it was, and he did this repeatedly over a period of three years.
Gradually, the inmates began to take responsibility for their own rehabilitation. Slowly, the shackles began to come off, and family visits were re-introduced. Within 3 years, the unit was empty, as the inmates had been released.
Dr Hew Len says that he had no intention to clear the unit. This was the side effect of working on himself. He worked only on his perceptions and not on the inmates in any way. This demonstrates that we do not see other people as they truly are, we see them through our perceptions of them, and our reaction to them, which have both been moulded by society, our parents, our peers and so on.
How often do we really look at the person who we perceive is offending us, and ask ourselves why they would treat us as we perceive they do? There is always a story behind why others mistreat us, and why we mistreat others. Exploring the other side of the coin can allow us to see that we have felt the same way, or behaved in a similar manner.
Underneath all our masks, we are all the same. We all want to be loved, appreciated and to belong, and we have adapted different methods to achieve this end. Sometimes these methods can cause conflict with other people’s methods, and we react.
What Ho’oponopono offers you, is a simple and effective way to clear your misguided perceptions, and find clarity and freedom to see yourself and others as they truly are- precious and free.
Start using this wonderful tool today, and begin to see the positive effects in your life instantly.”

Ho’oponopono – Taking Responsibility
A man in Hawaii healed the patients in a special ward, a clinic for the mentally ill insane criminals… And closed down the entire hospital.
So how did psychologist, Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, do it?
At the time this Hawaii State Hospital was filled with individuals who committed murder, rape, and other serious crimes. People who worked there were so frightened of the dangerous environment and unpredictable threatening attitude of the inmates that staff would constantly call in sick. Nobody wanted to come and work in fear of being attacked by a patient-inmates. The employee turnover became so bad that many workers quit after a few months.
How did Dr. Hew Len change all that?
He practiced, what he calls, “Ho’oponopono“. It basically revolves around the concept that everything that you perceive or that happens around you is your own creation and take this…You are 100% RESPONSIBLE for it. No exception.
The main objective of ho?oponopono is getting to “the state of Zero, where we would have zero limits. No memories. No identity.” To reach this state, called ‘Self-I-Dentity’, one has to repeat constantly the mantra, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you. It is based on the principle of 100% responsibility, taking responsibility for everyone’s actions, not only for one’s own. If one would take complete responsibility for one’s life, then everything one sees, hears, tastes, touches, or in any way experiences would be one’s responsibility because it is in one’s life. The problem would not be with our external reality, it would be with ourselves. To change our reality, we would have to change ourselves. Total Responsibility, according to Hew Len, advocates that everything exists as a projection from inside the human being. As such, it is similar to the philosophy of solipsism, but differs in that it doesn’t deny the reality of the consciousness of others. Instead it views all consciousness as part of the whole, so any error that a person clears in their own consciousness is cleared for everyone. This idea of an individual having the ability to benefit the whole indirectly can be seen in the theory of the Hundredth monkey effect. Source: –wiki
THEORY: We carry inside us as parts of the Unconscious Mind, all the significant people in our lives. (These parts of us often look very much like Carl Jung’s archetypes.) Ho’oponopono makes it “all right” with them. The process of Ho’oponopono is to align with and clean up our genealogy as well as to clean up our relationships with other people in our lives.
The Process of Ho’oponopono:
- Bring to mind anyone with whom you do not feel total alignment or support, etc.
- In your mind’s eye, construct a small stage below you
- Imagine an infinite source of love and healing flowing from a source above the top of your head (from your Higher Self), and open up the top of your head, and let the source of love and healing flow down inside your body, fill up the body, and overflow out your heart to heal up the person on the stage. Be sure it is all right for you to heal the person and that they accept the healing.
- When the healing is complete, have a discussion with the person and forgive them, and have them forgive you.
- Next, let go of the person, and see them floating away. As they do, cut the aka cord that connects the two of you (if appropriate). If you are healing in a current primary relationship, then assimilate the person inside you.
- Do this with every person in your life with whom you are incomplete, or not aligned.
- The final test is, can you see the person or think of them without feeling any negative emotions. If you do feel negative emotions when you do, then do the process again.

The Huna Process of Ho’oponopono
“Ho‘oponopono means to make right. Essentially, it means to make it right with the ancestors, or to make right with the people with whom you have relationships. We believe that the original purpose of Ho’oponopono was to correct the wrongs that had occurred in someone’s life including Hala (to miss the thing aimed for, or to err, to disobey) and Hewa (to go overboard or to do something to excess) which were illusions, and even ‘Ino (to do harm, implying to do harm to someone with hate in mind), even if accidental.
This description is by no means a complete training in how to do Ho’oponopono. While appropriate to do for yourself, for yours and others safety, it should not be done with someone else without training.
For example, let’s say your five-year-old grandson punched another five-year-old intentionally with hate in mind. If asked, then the one who was punched would forgive the other immediately, because it is inappropriate for anyone to carry guilt any longer than they had to, if it were not necessary.
We call this the Hawaiian Code of Forgiveness, and it’s an important thought, because when we forgive others, who are we forgiving? Ourselves, of course.
If you are familiar with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), there is a saying, “People are only doing the best they can with the resources they have available.” If you’ve heard that before, it has to do with forgiveness. Think about it. As you do consider that you are included in “people.”
In the Eastern traditions, too, there is a real tradition of being aligned with and cleaning up relations with the ancestors. In Japan, China, as well as the Hawaiian tradition, it is thought to be important to align and clean up any past problems that you’ve had in relationships, especially with relatives.
At the same time, perhaps there are family patterns you do not want. Certainly you have heard the saying, “We just don’t do that in our family,” or “That’s the way it is in our family.” What happens then, is that certain generational themes get passed along in families, like sadness or any number of different traits. Ho’oponopono will allow you to clean this up.
