Ho’oponopono

Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness (defined as: “mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness.”)

The book Zero Limits brings the new idea that the main objective of hoʻoponopono is getting to “the state of Zero, where we would have zero limits. No memories. No identity.” To reach this state, one has to repeat constantly the mantra, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.”.

It is based on 100% responsibility; taking responsibility for everyone’s actions, not only for one’s own. If one would take complete responsibility for one’s life, then everything one sees, hears, tastes, touches, or in any way experiences would be one’s responsibility because it is in one’s life. As we all know, loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, you improve your world…

So; “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you.”
