12 Minute Guided Meditation MP3

For healing relationships in all forms: with your family, friends, your spiritual self, your inner child, the Universe and so on. Ho'oponopono is often called "the forgiveness prayer." It's an ancient Hawaiian prayer and is written out below.​

​​This meditation is great for breaking through intense and overwhelming feelings. Before you say the Ho'oponopono prayer you will relax, prepare to let go, and be guided through a gentle yet efficient healing process. As you do this a beautiful background track called The Temple Garden plays. It is very serene and will help you feel like you are stepping into a sacred garden where you are safe and supported. 

Halfway into the meditation the background music transitions into the powerful healing tones of a crystal quartz bowl. This will clear your mind and help you to focus completely on the Ho'oponopono prayer.

At the end of the meditation, after you have said the prayer four times, the soothing river and wind chimes of The Temple Garden fade back in. A softly struck Tibetan singing bowl will bring you back into the present moment. You will then be guided through a short process that will leave you refreshed and ready to enjoy your day.

Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian prayer used for healing, transformation and increased inner-peace and self-love. It's a simple yet powerful way to bring healing and forgiveness into your life stream. It seeks to bring harmony, love and balance into relationships. It was traditionally used to heal relationships between two or more people, but it is also a powerful way to heal the relationship you have with yourself.

You can use it to find peace from a situation in which another person caused you pain. Or you can use it on yourself, to forgive yourself for things you feel you've done wrong (even as a way to ease out of self-hate and let yourself know you care about you), and as a way to bring more love into your life. Ho'oponopono involves a simple mantra:

It doesn't matter if you seek to forgive someone or you seek self-forgiveness, the mantra works for all situations. The words are a way of clearing energy for the person saying the prayer. No matter who was involved or what happened,  this will remove the associated energies on your end, and is a way of saying to the Universe, "I no longer allow these dark and heavy energies to live in my body or my life stream." 

This isn't something you would use in order to get another person to apologize to you (because you can never impinge on someone's freewill), but rather a way to heal yourself, to choose your happiness and lightness above all else. If another person chooses to receive your intentions for resolution, higher perspective and an increase in love rather than hate, then they will act in a way that's right for them. 

You may never know that your prayer reached them, as they may choose not to say something, but instead will go forward with greater love and forgiveness in their hearts. It's entirely up to them, and that is why it's important you use this prayer for your own healing first and foremost. This will help the energy to stay the most open and free following, because sometimes we think we know what's best for another person or people involved, when in fact, the best thing is for us to focus on our own soul care and growth and let the Universe/God take care of the rest. 

Once you use this prayer you may find it has an onion layer effect, pealing back the layers that need healing until you find a new and lighter energy fills your life. This may happen in an instant, and I find the best way to move through the healing and transformation quickly is to expect nothing but be open to anything.

"I asked Dr. Len how he went about healing himself. 'I just kept saying, 'I'm sorry' and 'I love you' over and over again,' he explained. Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, you improve your world."  - Joe Vitale on the ho'oponopono healing process
