I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you.
My dear friends,
This is my very first post in this site and I definitely want it to be an enriching one. What else could be more enriching than the ONE prayer that gives you peace and joy?
There are so many articles and videos about this ancient Hawaiian prayer, Ho'oponopono and I wish to share my experience here.
When we lost my Father-in-law to covid in 2020, we were so shocked and shattered. It was totally unexpected and we struggled a lot to make peace with the truth. That is when I came to know about this wonderful prayer. Simply reciting "I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you"
How we practiced:
We would simply say the four short lines over and over in our heart. Sometimes we said it to my Father-in-law, sometimes to God and sometimes to ourselves. The more we said the more we felt connected with his soul, with the universe, with ourselves. It helped us to heal a lot better.
Ever since, I have been practicing this prayer for anything that bothers me and believe me it helps me heal better every time and restore my balance
The whens and hows:
When you encounter any insurmountable loss, be it emotional, material or physical.
When an unreasonable drive cuts you off in highway and gives you a finger.
When two people you know and love are in conflict and you can do nothing but only pray.
When you make a mistake and find it hard to forgive yourself
When you hurt someone and want to make amends. (Of course apologizing to the person is the first choice)
Anytime you feel flustered and need a pick me up.
There you go my lovely friends, its a wonderful prayer, worth practicing, give it a try :-)
I will see you in my next post. The light in me honors and respects the glorious, glorious lights in you. Namaste!
Love and Light,
Pon
