Ho'oponopono - Original Prayer

What Is Ho’oponopono? Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice for forgiveness and reconciliation. It’s more than the prayer alone. It's a process of making things right in your relationships -- with others, ancestors, deities, the earth, yourself. The foundation of this practice is unity: an unbreakable bond connects you to everyone else, even though we seem so separate. When errors are corrected externally, errors are corrected internally. When you “cleanse” your consciousness, you contribute to the cleansing of the “collective consciousness.” When you forgive others, you both, are forgiven because... As within, so without. There are four forces at work in this prayer: repentance, forgiveness, gratitude, and love. These are reflected in the four phrases that make up the prayer. I am sorry. (Please) Forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
