Hoʻoponopono is a traditional Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. The word “hoʻoponopono” can be translated as “to make right” or “to correct.” It is a deeply spiritual process used to restore and maintain good relationships among family members, as well as between individuals and their communities.
The ho’oponopono prayer goes like this: “I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you.” That’s it. And isn’t that something we all need to hear? “I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you.” It’s very touching, especially given how simple and universal these words are. With regular practice, reciting these four simple phrases helps develop self-love and self-esteem at the times when we need it most. In this way, it’s both a lullaby to the self and a guaranteed insightful way to approach forgiving other people.
