Ho'opnopono healing prayer from Hawaii

Post by Violet Flowers »

Hello all

Many of you now may have heard of this concept or prayer which has and is creating miracles for people all over the globe. I was taught this process in a spiritual class and at first I didn't use it much until I was having some trouble with an ex partner and I immediately took to this prayer to help clear and take responsibility for how I could have caused this in the past and in a vibratory level.

Soo.. I am not an expert but am sharing it as it helps a lot ..

Soo the basic premise is that as we are all connected we all have responsibility for the lives of those around as - as we speak the words to the creator we are asking for a clearing of the situation for that person and ourselves.. Repeat these words:

I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me and thank you repeatedly and you will at some point feel a shift.. Sometimes I cry as I feel the pain of someone melt away.. (This is quite a nice youtube version with the words and gentle music if you need a bit of help being reminded of the words etc.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqrssdH6ET4)

Here is where it started again fairly recently.. (taken from this website http://www.zerolimits.info/ from the book of Joe Vitale) and they describe it here better than I can so please read.

"Two years ago, I heard about a therapist in Hawaii who cured a complete ward of criminally insane patients--without ever seeing any of them. The psychologist would study an inmate's chart and then look within himself to see how he created that person's illness. As he improved himself, the patient improved.
When I first heard this story, I thought it was an urban legend. How could anyone heal anyone else by healing himself? How could even the best self-improvement master cure the criminally insane?
It didn't make any sense. It wasn't logical, so I dismissed the story.
However, I heard it again a year later. I heard that the therapist had used a Hawaiian healing process called ho 'oponopono. I had never heard of it, yet I couldn't let it leave my mind. If the story was at all true, I had to know more.
I had always understood "total responsibility" to mean that I am responsible for what I think and do. Beyond that, it's out of my hands. I think that most people think of total responsibility that way. We're responsible for what we do, not what anyone else does. The Hawaiian therapist who healed those mentally ill people would teach me an advanced new perspective about total responsibility.
His name is Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len. We probably spent an hour talking on our first phone call. I asked him to tell me the complete story of his work as a therapist. He explained that he worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years. That ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous. Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with their backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a pleasant place to live, work, or visit.
Dr. Len told me that he never saw patients. He agreed to have an office and to review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal.
"After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely," he told me. "Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications. And those who had no chance of ever being released were being freed."
I was in awe.
"Not only that," he went on, "but the staff began to enjoy coming to work. Absenteeism and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than we needed because patients were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today, that ward is closed."
This is where I had to ask the million dollar question: "What were you doing within yourself that caused those people to change?"
"I was simply healing the part of me that created them," he said.
I didn't understand.
Dr. Len explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life - simply because it is in your life--is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation.
Whew. This is tough to swallow. Being responsible for what I say or do is one thing. Being responsible for what everyone in my life says or does is quite another. Yet, the truth is this: if you take complete responsibility for your life, then everything you see, hear, taste, touch, or in any way experience is your responsibility because it is in your life.
This means that terrorist activity, the president, the economy--anything you experience and don't like--is up for you to heal. They don't exist, in a manner of speaking, except as projections from inside you. The problem isn't with them, it's with you, and to change them, you have to change you.
I know this is tough to grasp, let alone accept or actually live. Blame is far easier than total responsibility, but as I spoke with Dr. Len, I began to realize that healing for him and in ho 'oponopono means loving yourself. If you want to improve your life, you have to heal your life. If you want to cure anyone--even a mentally ill criminal--you do it by healing you.
I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. What was he doing, exactly, when he looked at those patients' files?
"I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again," he explained.
That's it?
That's it.
Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, your improve your world. Let me give you a quick example of how this works: one day, someone sent me an email that upset me. In the past I would have handled it by working on my emotional hot buttons or by trying to reason with the person who sent the nasty message. This time, I decided to try Dr. Len's method. I kept silently saying, "I'm sorry" and "I love you," I didn't say it to anyone in particular. I was simply evoking the spirit of love to heal within me what was creating the outer circumstance.
Within an hour I got an e-mail from the same person. He apologized for his previous message. Keep in mind that I didn't take any outward action to get that apology. I didn't even write him back. Yet, by saying "I love you," I somehow healed within me what was creating him.
I later attended a ho 'oponopono workshop run by Dr. Len. He's now 70 years old, considered a grandfatherly shaman, and is somewhat reclusive. He praised my book, The Attractor Factor. He told me that as I improve myself, my book's vibration will raise, and everyone will feel it when they read it. In short, as I improve, my readers will improve.
"What about the books that are already sold and out there?" I asked.
"They aren't out there," he explained, once again blowing my mind with his mystic wisdom. "They are still in you."
In short, there is no out there.
It would take a whole book to explain this advanced technique with the depth it deserves. Suffice it to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there's only one place to look: inside you.
"When you look, do it with love."

Would be great to hear anything you have to share about it .. I use it all the time- If someone tells me about a sick person I use it.. when I see someone suffering I use it.. Try it.. Soo simple. :)

Thank you Violet. :cheers: I got goose bumps as I read what you and Joe Vitale wrote. I will happily add this technique to my own healing efforts and pass it along to a few others who may benefit from their use of this technique. I've often heard this phrase, "When we heal others, we heal ourselves" and it seems also, it goes hand in hand with "when we heal ourselves, others heal"... beautiful! :sunflower:
Have a beautiful day over there. Waving to you and sending hugs from across the Tasman Sea. :hithere
Love,
Sandy

Hi Sandy

Thanks so much for reflecting on this beautiful practice and sharing it. Isn't it amazing and true that healing ourselves heals others.. I guess it reminds us how connected we really all are doesn't it.

Yes- beautiful words from Joe Vitale aren't they- So beautiful what we can do with our intentions.

Hope you are having a beautiful day too and waving back across the seas to you too. Big hugs too :) :hithere
