I stumbled across the Ho’oponopono Hawaiian Healing Prayer in mid-January of 2021when I was perplexed about what to write about in my next Blog. I was so touched by what I had learned and the many people who had healed from saying it or healed family issues that I started researching this magic prayer. The more I read, the more I realized that not only would this technique make a perfect blog entry, but it is a practice that I had to work into my daily life. Maybe, just maybe, it could change my vibrations, thereby healing the parts of me that created a daughter that refuses to have a relationship with me even after 12 years. Could this simple exercise be the tool to change not only my vibrations, my husband’s, our daughter’s, but help the world? I’m willing to try almost anything.
For centuries, the Hawaiian Prayer has been performed on islands throughout the South Pacific, including Hawaii, Samoa,
Tahiti, and New Zealand. Originally it
was only practiced in the family unit. Since the extended family usually lived together centuries ago, it was believed that if a family member became mentally or
physically ill, someone in the family was thinking negatively: afraid, angry, or either
judging themself or others in the family unit.
Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, a kahuna lapaʻau (healer) in Hawaiʻi, modified the traditional Hawaiian Prayer in 1976. She was influenced by her Christian education and her philosophical studies about India, China, and Edgar Cayce. She taught this updated version of Hoʻoponopono throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe. This new type of prayer gives everyone a chance to take responsibility for healing their past lives, therefore, ultimately healing their present life. The Hawaiian Prayer is a practice that involves healing all things by accepting "Total Responsibility" for everything that surrounds us. Later, and from who knows where, a simpler version has popped up, seeming more like a mantra than a prayer, but I found it extremely powerful after practicing it. Don’t be surprised if tears start rolling down your cheeks. When I practiced Simeona’s version, I felt a deep stirring in my body as if there was some kind of movement. That was very interesting. I’m continuing to work with both versions as I've noticed a major change not only in myself but my husband. He’s happier, and his reactions are almost nil.
This
technique changes our cellular memory to purge the negative qualities that are
not useful in our lives, such as anger,
jealousy, judgment, resentment, etc.
Just think, wouldn’t it be a blessing not to return in another life
having to deal with these negative aspects in our lives, or pass these characteristics onto our children? Even if you don't believe in past lives, I guarantee it will help not only you but your family.
Dr. Hew Len, a psychologist and an expert in
the spiritual practice, Ho’opononopono, was asked to accept a position at the State
Mental Hospital in the criminally insane ward in Hawaii. Many who worked there were irritable, afraid of being attacked, often called in sick, or quit. Dr. Len read the 23 files and practiced the
Ho'oponopono process created by Morrnah Simeona at least twice a day while
focusing on these files.
In three years, the patients who had been shackled were allowed to walk freely; others who’d been heavily medicated were able to have their medications reduced; and those who were diagnosed as having absolutely no chance of ever being released due to their aggressive behavior were freed or sent to a traditional prison, depending on their criminal status. Ultimately, 21 checked out of the hospital and were allowed to go home. However, two patients did not improve.
Why weren’t these two healed? Dr. Len explained
that these two patients had no karmic connections with him. It’s believed that this special prayer heals
karmic issues that one has had in past lives with other individuals.
People
asked Dr. Lin what he had done to make such a huge change. His reply, “I cleaned the part of me that I
shared with them which healed the part that created them.” This Prayer
energetically cleared the layers of toxic energies within his subconscious. By clearing
his harmful energy, energetically, he also cleaned the negative energies of his
patients.
There was even a major change at the hospital; workers stopped calling in sick and quitting. The attitude at the facility had become positive.
Dr. Lin believes that everything in our life is our responsibility. In other words, we create what’s going on in our family and in the world because of our negative thinking or comments. Loving yourself is the ultimate way to improve yourself, but as you improve yourself, you change your vibrations, thereby changing the world. To heal your reality, we must erase the memories that gave life to our negative thoughts, which created our world. These memories could occur while in your mother’s womb, preconception, childhood, or adulthood. Yes, even strange as it seems, many of us have inherited negative attributes from previous lives.
The prayer that I first stumbled upon was a simple prayer, one I could
easily remember. Numerous comments posted on various sites share how this technique
has healed various problems: disconnect in families, judgments, eating disorders, drug abuse,
emotional issues, alcohol abuse, mental illness, and the list goes on. Just think, if we can forgive ourselves and others, how much our world will change.
The first time I used the short version, I cried like a baby and was sensitive
for two days. But it felt like a load of weight had been lifted from
my shoulders regarding all the mistakes I had made, fears I held onto as a
parent, and the plethora of judgments about myself and my husband. My second experience occurred a week later.
I had finished grocery shopping and was heading home when I decided to say this
simple prayer. But this time, I added my estranged daughter’s name to it and
repeated it a few times, some lines even out of order. I saw us holding hands, sometimes our arms locked. Tears
welled up in my eyes when I did this visualization. My vision was so blurry that
I had to pull over to the side of the road, where I continued to bawl my eyes
out. This time I felt like my heart had opened to loving myself. I felt lighter
and, for some odd reason, hopeful. Very strange, I thought. Another time my husband walked into the
kitchen and said, “ Tina, you’re always leaving messes around the house.” Usually, I argue about that adverb, always, but this time I stopped
preparing dinner, looked at him, and said, “I love you, please forgive me.”
That was it; I didn’t even say the whole prayer.
His expression instantly melted into a face of love, and he walked over
and gave me this huge squeeze. I thought, wow, is this all I need to say when Alan starts getting worked up? I’ll have to
remember this.
Guidelines when saying the short version of the Hawaiian Prayer, which seems
to be the most common one shared online and on u-tube (some of the songs will
kick up a few tears):
1. The prayer can be said out of order.
2.
No need to focus on any one emotion or incident unless you want.
3.
If an incident comes up, focus on that while saying the prayer.
4. Trust your intuition. If it tells you to add a
name, or a line, or repeat a line, do it.
5. Repeat prayer for five minutes each day if possible. (Sometimes I skip a few days, but then say it for half an hour.)
6. Say or think the prayer with passion and
feeling.
7. If the person you are having issues with can sit in the same room with you for five to fifteen minutes that would be helpful. (This is what was practiced in the old days when family problems were worked out.)
8. Honor whatever issues come up and continue saying the prayer. Address that part of yourself that caused the problem in the relationship and send it love. It’s okay to feel the sadness that exists but send unconditional love towards that negative energy.
The Hawaiian Prayer Meditation, for
cleansing. (Short version)
I’m sorry
Please
forgive me
I
love you
Thank you
After much research, I finally found the Prayer created by Morrnah Simeona, which was revised
from the traditional Hawaiin prayer. I’ve just begun
using it, and I’m telling you, it’s potent.
Divine Creator, Father, Mother, Son as one …
If I, my family, relatives, and ancestors, have
offended you, your family, relatives, and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds
and actions from the beginning of our creation to the present, we ask your
forgiveness … Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut all the negative memories,
blocks, energies, and vibrations, and transmute these unwanted energies into
pure Light.
… And it is done.
I would
love to hear about your experiences with either of these prayers, as I’m curious
how they’ve helped you. Or if you have a question, I’d enjoy hearing from you: My
