It means &#8211; to make right. \u00a0 It&#8217;s so simple it&#8217;s difficult for our ego mind to believe it could possible work to help heal anything. \u00a0Yet, it does. From injuries to relationships! \u00a0It&#8217;s like a miracle worker. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because it combines the power of love and forgiveness. \u00a0There are only four steps. \u00a0They are laid out in four simple statements which connect to deeply held beliefs or emotions.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Step One: \u00a0Acknowledge and Repentance. \u00a0<strong>I AM SORRY<\/strong>. \u00a0We are completely and totally responsible for our actions and reactions! \u00a0We choose them.\u00a0 You may be sorry for being angry or for hurting someone&#8217;s feelings. You may be sorry you gained weight or were careless and hurt yourself. \u00a0The list goes on and on. \u00a0Even if you are not quite sure if you are &#8220;sorry&#8221; for something, say it anyway and see what happens.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Step Two: Ask forgiveness.\u00a0 <strong>PLEASE FORGIVE ME<\/strong>. \u00a0You are not necessarily asking this of another human. \u00a0Ask it from Spirit. \u00a0Ask for forgiveness from yourself&#8230; for yourself. \u00a0Try it! \u00a0See what it feels like to be in this very vulnerable state. \u00a0It&#8217;s amazing! (And it gets easier with practice.)<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Step Three: \u00a0Gratitude. \u00a0<strong>THANK YOU<\/strong>. \u00a0Again, this is not about going to another human and expressing the gratitude. \u00a0Express gratitude to yourself for yourself.\u00a0 Just say it!\u00a0 Thank Spirit.\u00a0 It doesn&#8217;t matter to whom&#8230; just express the gratitude! Say Thank You!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Step Four: \u00a0Love. \u00a0<strong>I LOVE YOU<\/strong>. \u00a0 Share the love. Love for yourself.\u00a0 Love for others.\u00a0 Love for Spirit.\u00a0 Love for humanity.\u00a0 Just share LOVE!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<a

statements become four incredibly profound expressions of love and service to self and to others. \u00a0Easy and effective. \u00a0No one ever need to know you are using the Ho&#8217;Oponopono to help heal yourself or a relationship.\u00a0 Dr.\u00a0 Ihaleakala Hew Len used this method to heal criminally insane patients he had never met. \u00a0He read their patient files and performed this healing ritual for each of them.\u00a0 The results were incredible!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0It is my understanding this healing works regardless of the order of the statements said. \u00a0It is more important that we acknowledge each step and use the verbiage to clear the energy connected to it. \u00a0The order of the statements matters less than the awareness of\u00a0 them.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0So, put on your thinking caps and start a list.\u00a0 Do you have physical issues your need to heal?\u00a0 How about:\u00a0 Relationships with others; your finances; your health; your feelings about yourself; your feelings about others; \u00a0your prejudices; your anger\/hurt\/hatred&#8230; \u00a0 Get started now making miracles \u00a0happen in your life and allow the ripple effect of your Ho&#8217;Oponopono to happen!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3
