By employing the Ho'oponopono mantra for yourself or in relationships, you take responsibility for any negative energies or actions you may have contributed. This sincere expression of regret, asking for forgiveness, showing gratitude, and affirming love can lead to healing and stronger, more meaningful connections.
The first line of mantra: is to say, “I love you.”
We then persist, shining light into those dark crevices and with all of this energy we generated we begin to say, “I love you”. Now, as we are saying “I love you” to ourselves and allowing this love to penetrate, we can see it, visualize it like a most beautiful lotus flower in the heart and see the petals of the lotus beginning to open.
What we are attempting to do is to free ourselves from the reactions that are held in the memories of the past. These held vibrations are impacting us in the present.
These self-limiting beliefs have been pushed down deep into our subconscious, beliefs about ourselves have been tucked away, and we are not even aware that they are affecting us in our day-to-day life. They rise up as little messages, that little ego voice that says things like, “See I told you, you can’t do anything right.” or “I told you, you can’t commit to a meditation practice.” However, it is important to start to listen for that little voice. It is to this voice that we are applying the Ho’oponopono technique.
After I love you, we then say the second line of the Mantra, “I’m sorry.” “I’m sorry that I took on those beliefs, believing them to be true.” “I’m sorry that I have lived my life in a way that has caused me to be angry, lonely, separative, or sad”. Whatever the experience has been, express your thoughts and feelings in your own words. With these words we acknowledge that we have not been living life as the radiant spiritual being we are in truth.
3rd line of Mantra : “Please Forgive Me”
We are seeking forgiveness from ourselves. And the teachings around Ho’oponopono suggest that we are asking for forgiveness from our basic goodness, that most sacred part of our self. Look Inside and shine the light of Ho'oponopono.
Have the courage to look inside and open up that little bit of dark space where it’s hidden, not to relive the experience or jump right into the darkness, but to shine the light of the Ho’oponopono mantra into that dark space. This is where the forgiveness happens.
As we become aware of and observe our ego, it is also important that we not judge ourselves, but rather to truly accept all that we are. Yes, we have healing to do and growth to make but there is also more love, more joy, more freedom available to us in this moment and we are choosing to embrace it all.
We work with this mantra energetically and as we say the words, we feel the energy of the words spiralling through the heart and outwardly through the whole of our being. The whole of our being is enveloped within the energy of this mantra.
Lastly, It is so important to end being thankful. If we are not thankful to ourselves, there is no way we will let the love in.
We open our heart and allow ourselves to truly experience love. The love of our own divine self. A love that is beyond thought and words. A love that is infinite and unconditional.
You see, the divinity that is deep within you loves you so much, regardless of anything you have ever done and anything you have not done. Even though you may have turned your back on this divine part of your being it has still been there loving you unconditionally all the time. Knowing this love, we can then express our gratitude.
