5 Minute Ho’oponopono Meditation
Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing system. It is a process of letting go of toxic energies within you to allow the impact of divine thoughts, words, deeds and actions. It is essentially about freedom, complete freedom from the past. When we practice ho’oponopono, we are rectifying an error in our thoughts. You can practice this meditation from anywhere.
But for your first time, sit quietly (in the morning when you wake up is recommended).
Sitting cross-legged or in a chair, close your eyes.
Straighten and elongate your spine. Align your head with your spine, tilt your chin slightly down. Loosen your jaw.
From this place, begin taking deep breaths, counting to four on your inhale, sending the breath deep into your lungs and belly. And exhaling to four counts releasing the breath.
Continuing this detoxifying breathing a few times on your own.
Understanding that with each deep inhale you are sending new oxygen into your blood cells and with each exhale you are detoxifying your lungs and body.
When you feel ready, begin repeating the mantra: “ I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you, I love you.”
Staying with these repeated words and if your mind detours, bringing it back to this mantra.
See how this feels in your body.
Is there somewhere specific you feel it? Does someone pop into your head? Send your thoughts and the power of ho’oponopono to that person. If you are angry or hurt by someone, it may be challenging but just try to think of that person as you repeat: “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.”
Stay here for as long as feels natural and comfortable. From here you can either begin your own practice of breath work, meditation or move into your day.
