Hawaiian Prayer Meditation

To take you to a place of deep relaxation and peacefulness, Hawaiian prayer meditation is a powerful technique to master, practice and enjoy in its fullest.

Hawai'i's age-old, deeply healing practice can provide comfort to those who struggle with forgiveness. The beautiful Hawaiian Prayer for forgiveness, also known as "Ho'oponopono", is lovely.

This ancient Hawaiian practice for forgiveness can be used as a communication strategy for reconciliation or as a tool to restore self love and balance. It can also be learned and eventually taught as a certified ho'oponopono practitioner.

It is a kind of mantra for self-love that works in practice. And it's even simpler than that.

What Does Ho'oponopono Mean?

The meaning of ho'oponopono is "cause everything to return to balance" or "make them right." It's a very Zen concept. (In Hawaiian, "pono" refers to balance. Balance is when everything is in order).

It is powerful to chant this prayer over-and-over in order to rid the body and mind of shame, guilt, haunting memories or ill will.

This form of Hawaiian prayer for healing is a powerful forgiveness practice.

Mental Cleansing

For a cleansing effect, repeat the following mantra several times while you are sitting down with your eyes closed.

The ho'oponopono prayer is as follows:

"I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you."

That's about it. This is all you need: "I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you."

It's touching, especially considering the simplicity and universality of these words.

Reciting these four simple phrases is a great way to develop self-love. It is both a soothing song for the soul and an effective way to forgive others.

Saying Sorry

One reason this traditional Hawaiian forgiveness prayers is so powerful is because you have to first acknowledge that someone wronged you and say sorry.

Accepting the feelings of others is a universal need. To experience ho'oponopono in understanding, one must first admit that wrongdoing exists.

Only by doing this is it possible to forgive yourself or another person.

Love Yourself

The final step is to acknowledge love, both for yourself and for others.

Many people make the mistake, thinking forgiveness means total absolution. This is ineffective as it ignores hurt feelings and can lead to resentful behavior later.

For ho'oponopono meditation you need to take deep breaths and keep your eyes closed. Next, repeat this mantra seven to eight times:

"I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you ... I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you..." and so forth.

To let the message resonate, end with a few quiet moments. Open your eyes. How do you feel?

This may be more important if you are someone who takes a lot of criticism on yourself.

Summary

Taking the time to heal yourself through forgiveness and gratitude is such a powerful experience, so don't concern yourself over how long it may take for ho'oponopono to work for you.

The inner calming effect is deeply spiritual while the mental cleansing helps to remove any blockages that may have been holding you back in your progress through life, or preventing your acquisition of wealth. It allows you to grow spiritually and aid in your personal development.
