Ho’oponopono

I’m Sorry          Please Forgive Me

Ho’oponopono, (pronounced ho-o-pono-pono) is an ancient and sacred traditional Hawaiian practice of Forgiveness and Reconciliation.

According to Wikipedia, “Hoʻoponopono” is defined in the Hawaiian Dictionary as “mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness.” Literally, hoʻo is a particle used to make an actualizing verb from the following noun, as would “to” before a noun in English. Here, it creates a verb from the noun pono, which is defined as

“goodness, uprightness, morality, moral qualities, correct or proper procedure, excellence, well-being, prosperity, welfare, benefit, true condition or nature, duty; moral, fitting, proper, righteous, right, upright, just, virtuous, fair, beneficial, successful, in perfect order, accurate, correct, eased, relieved; should, ought, must, necessary.”

Ponopono is defined as “to put to rights; to put in order or shape, correct, revise, adjust, amend, regulate, arrange, rectify, tidy up, make orderly or neat.”

So to state it in a proverbial nutshell, Ho’oponopono means “to make right“.

Simply stated, Ho’oponopono is a belief that illness and disease are caused by disharmonious thoughts, words and deeds. Ho’oponopono teaches that we are 100% responsible for everything that happens in our lives as the individual we are, and because we are all One Divine Being Self, we are also responsible for each other. Ho’oponopono teaches us that the reason there is disharmony, illness, disease, famine, war, etc. on our planet is because we are not living in a manner of balance and harmony with our Divine Nature.
