How to Use Ho’oponopono to Heal your Body

You can use Ho’oponopono to heal your body of discomfort, illness, pain or other feelings arising within you at any time, in any place. This is one of the great qualities of Ho’oponopono, you can be in the middle of huge chaos or mayhem and utilise Ho’oponopono to create change. All that is required is the sounding of the four-line mantra, the Ho’oponopono prayer, with heartfelt sincerity:

“I’m Sorry, Please Forgive Me, I Love You, Thank you.”

For healing the body, simply focus the mantra into the area of your body that is symptomatic, for example the area of pain or illness. The energy within the mantric words will penetrate to the cause of your suffering, cleansing and purifying the memories that have been trapped within the cells of your body and created symptoms.

How does Ho’oponopono work to heal the body?

Did you know that all of the memories of all of our experiences in this life are stored within the cells of our body? And that each time we move through an experience that triggers one of the memories stored within a particular part of the body, that trigger of the memory can be the cause of a symptom that can manifest in the physical, emotional or mental body?

Let’s take a deeper look at this concept. Many of us get emotional around certain situations and experiences and if we don’t fully express the emotion, if we supress it, it gets locked within us and may manifest as a symptom, such as pain, illness, loneliness, etc. at some other point in our lives. For example, we may be afraid to speak our truth because we carry a memory of an experience in the past when we were belittled or criticised for speaking up. The experience then caused us to believe that our voice is insignificant, and we learned to stay quiet. We held onto this fear of speaking up without expressing it or resolving it and now, when the memory surfaces, it may present as a sore throat.

When the symptom, such as a sore throat, manifests we may take the approach of using different medications to ease the symptoms*, but unless we resolve the cause of the symptom, it will continue to manifest over and over again in some way or another. (*Please note that we are not advocating that you do not take medication, but rather to work with Ho’oponopono alongside your prescribed medications to empower your healing process.)

The symptom, when worked with in a loving and compassionate way, offers us an opportunity to release old memories, beliefs about ourselves and emotions that are no longer serving us.

Through the application of forgiveness, love and gratitude we are able to free ourselves from the memories that have been created from past experiences, allowing us to step more fully into becoming the radiant expression of the true nature of our being, and as such, respond to life’s situations and circumstances with more grace and ease.

How we use Ho’oponopono to heal our body?

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing technique that focusses the energies of forgiveness, love and gratitude into those areas of our being where we are holding on to memories that are no longer serving us. It is a technique that is so simple, yet so powerful. All that is required is the sounding of the Ho’oponopono mantra with an intention to create change in our lives.

We begin by saying, “I’m sorry” within that part of the body that is currently experiencing pain and/or illness. Knowing that deep within that pain there is most likely an emotion that has been supressed by you. An emotion that was borne out of a memory from an experience from the past. Possibly so long ago that you have forgotten all about it. As we say the words “I’m sorry”, we are saying sorry to ourselves for holding onto the emotions that have tainted our memories and our beliefs about ourselves. There is no judgment here, but a depth of complete love and compassion for self. We apply all of our intention to heal towards the power of the sounding of the words, “I’m sorry”.

Next we say, “Please forgive me.” This is where we recognise the true power of self-forgiveness is within ourselves. Our forgiveness is directed towards ourselves. As long as we are holding on to judgment and criticism we are keeping ourselves imprisoned within the old memories. In saying, “Please forgive me” with heartfelt earnestness, we are choosing to set ourselves free from the bondages of our own beliefs and surpressed emotions.

Then the words, “I love you.” Sounding these words into and through those parts of the body that have been suffering. Recognising that it is the energy of Love that penetrates deep within the cause of our suffering and liberates the true nature of all that we are. We bring all of our heart to the sounding of these words, “I love you.”

And then we complete with gratitude by saying, “Thank you.” We express gratitude for every part of our being, gratitude for all that we are and all that we are a part of. Gratitude is an energy that makes us not only feel good but has been proven to lead to better health.

We say these four lines over and over, allowing the energies of the Ho’oponopono to wash over us and through us, cleansing and purifying all of those memories that have been impacting us in a negative way.
