Ho'opnopono by Dr. Hew Len

The words of Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len regarding Ho’oponopono, a healing modality:
“Ho’oponopono is really very simple. For the ancient Hawaiians, all problems begin as thought. But having a thought is not the problem. So what’s the problem? The problem is that all our thoughts are imbued with painful memories, memories of persons, places, or things.
The intellect working alone can’t solve these problems, because the intellect only manages. Managing things is no way to solve problems. You want to let them go!
When you do Ho’oponopono, what happens is that the Divinity takes the painful thought and neutralizes or purifies it.

You don’t purify the person, place, or thing. You neutralize the energy you associate with that person, place, or thing. So the first stage of Ho’oponopono is the purification of that energy.
Now something wonderful happens.
Not only does that energy get neutralized; it also gets released, so there’s a brand new slate.
Buddhists call it the Void. The final step is that you allow the Divinity to come in and fill the void with light.

To do Ho’oponopono, you don’t have to know what the problem or error is. All you have to do is notice any problem you are experiencing physically, mentally, emotionally, whatever.
Once you notice, your responsibility is to immediately begin to clean, to say, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. You repeat, “I’m sorry, please forgive me” until the energy is clean.”
