Hawaiian Healing from within


Ho’oponopono originates from Hawaii. It was traditionally done as a group healing but was modified and taught as an individual practice by Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona. Morrnah was a healer and in 1983 she received a great honor by being designated as a living treasure of Hawaii. She died in 1992.

The foundational elements of the practice of Self Identity through Ho'oponopono are the four phrases:

  • I love You
  • I'm Sorry
  • Please Forgive Me
  • Thank You

The practice is ongoing, in the beginning you might only remember to do it a few minutes out of every day. Later, and as you see your outside world changing - if you recognize the connection - your practice increases. The most powerful phrases here are: “I Love You” and “Thank You”. The powers of Love and Gratitude are known in every self-empowerment teaching, school or religion.

Repeat these phrases just like a mantra and the healing process happens. You may cleanse life situations, places and relationships. When something comes to your awareness – you accept 100% responsibility for that and repeat the cleaning process. No guilt trips. No intellectualizing. No judgements. You clean. Divinity does the rest. Ho’oponopono cleaning is "letting go and letting God".

Morrnah's Prayer
Spirit, Superconscious, please locate the origin of my suffering.
Take each and every level, layer, area and aspect of my being to this origin.
Analyze it and resolve it perfectly with God's truth.
Come through all generations of time and eternity.
Healing every incident and its appendages based on the origin.
Please do it according to God's will until I am in the present,
Filled with light and truth.
God's peace and love, forgive me for my incorrect perceptions.
Forgive every person, place, circumstances and event that contributed to my suffering.

Shanti Mantra - Peace invocation

This is the text of the invocation we chant together at the beginning of each yoga class. Even if you prefer not to chant it out loud, get acquainted with it's meaning and honour it in your practice.
Namaste
Susan


Om Saha Naavavatu

Om. May God protect each of us


Saha Nau Bhunaktu

May he accept and nourish us


Saha Veeryam Karavavahai

May our work be of mutual benefit

(veeryam = work together with great vigour)


Tejas vinavadhee tamastu

Let our learning shine brightly, and spread out around us


Ma Vidvishavahai

Let there be no discord amongst us


Om Shanti Shanti Shantih

Om Peace Peace Peace


The prayer comes from the peace invocations (Shanti Path) of the Upanishads, which are ancient Indian scriptures which form the basis for a spiritual practice which aspires to inner peace. It emphasises the importance of a fruitful relationship between the teacher and the students.


The invocation of Shanti (peace) at the end of the Mantra (prayer) refers to the desire to overcome the misery from three sources:

1) from a higher power or destiny;

2) from the material world surrounding us (group consciousness); and

3) from the internal world or individual consciousness
