Ho'oponopono restores your light or energy body and your e-motion, or energy in motion. Through your light body you are connected with all of life. Through your e-motion you are always affecting everyone around you by your thoughts, words, feelings and actions.

Ho'oponopono means to "make right" and is the Hawaiian code for forgiveness.

"When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free." ~ Catherine Ponder

The Full Moon is a wonderful and blessed time to perform Ho'oponopono as the natural forces of the waning moon act to assist you in the process of letting go. Through performing this forgiveness meditation you will be loving and accepting the shadow, lost parts of your self, and powerfully activating the law of grace to operate fully in your life.

Through the power of grace you can know the blessing of absolute and unconditional self-love and acceptance. In truth when you love yourself completely you love everything and everyone through all dimensions of time and space. This simple act of transmutation, bringing your darkness into the light, provides wonderful nourishment for your soul. The Ho'oponopono Forgiveness Ritual empowers you to shine with brilliance and renewed Self-love.

Ho'oponopono in essence means to make things right with your ancestors, or to make right with the people with whom you are connected, and have relationships, and most especially yourself.

In the Eastern cultures there is a tradition of honoring your ancestors. Being aligned with and cleansing ancestral relations is considered absolutely essential for harmonic prosperity at all levels. There may also be family patterns you do not want to continue. Generational themes are often passed along through the family lineage, like depression, poverty consciousness, addiction, or other unfortunate character traits. Ho'oponopono allows you to cleanse your ancestral lineage.

For the Ho'ponopono meditation you will need: A white candle

Calm your mind and sit quietly. Allow yourself to be quietly present with your Self. Within you is a sacred inner space where the creative spark of life dwells and animates your being. This is your own personal pilot light that you can turn to as needed for guidance. Now is the time to go within your sacred inner space and be still.

Light your white candle and focus on the flame. The candle's light is a reflection of the Divine spark of light within you.

Ho'oponopono Forgiveness Ritual - A Full Moon Meditation

The Process of Ho'oponopono:

Here's a simplified version of the modernized Ho'oponopono method for healing yourself of any uncomfortable feelings between yourself and others. Remember that what you see in another is a reflection, something resonating within yourself, so all healing is self-healing. The Course in Miracles says, "What you perceive in another you are strengthening in yourself."

No one else has to do this meditation for you to experience the desired results. Do Ho'oponopono with every person in your life with whom you feel dissonance, or misalignment. You may repeat the Ho'oponopono Ritual as needed to cleanse all negative emotional blockages.

See the person with whom you feel discomfort within a healing circle of light. See yourself within this same healing circle of light. See a beautiful cord of golden light above your head connecting you with your greater self, or guardian angel. See a golden cord above the other person's head to their greater self, or guardian angel. Then see a golden cord of light between your greater self and the other person's greater self. Now see a golden cord of light from your heart to the other person's heart. Feel the free flow of love moving through the golden cord of light connecting you with the other person.

To heal any split or feeling of separation and dissonance between you and them, first say with genuine feeling, "I apologize," and then, "Please forgive me." You say this to focus your awareness on the thought/feeling that has gotten into your BodyMind system, like a virus, and is disrupting your peace of mind, and heart-based love energies. You don't need to know why, or understand why you feel the way you do.

By saying "I apologize," you are asking for forgiveness inside yourself in order to release, and let go of the feeling of discomfort inside of you. Forgiveness does not mean you are condoning anyone's behavior. Forgiveness simply means you no longer wish to suffer from inner dissonance with another soul, a past issue, pattern of behavior, or situation.

End by saying, "I love you," followed by, "Thank you." Continue repeating, "I love you," and, "Thank you," for as long as needed until you feel completely free. You may return as needed until you feel deep resolution at the core of your being. Remember to breathe deeply and exhale as you let go of any toxic emotions and stagnant ch'i. Please be sure to drink ample amounts of water after you complete this ritual.

The sound of the words, "I love you," acts to transmute the vibration of ch'i from stuck to flowing. "I love you," reconnects you to your wholeness (Holi-ness). Since the 'Zero Point' field or Akasha is absolute pure love, and has 'zero' limits, when you express genuine feeling of love you automatically begin to resonate and harmonize with a state of ever flowing grace.

Conclude your Ho'oponopono ritual with, "Thank you," to express your gratitude that harmony has been restored. After completing the Ho'oponopono forgiveness meditation you may feel inspired to take some action. If so listen to your wise heart and take action immediately!

End your Ho'oponono meditation by looking into the flame of your white candle and saying aloud:

Oh Divine Mother, Divine Father, archangels and angels, my guides, ancestors, teachers, friends, and all those who love me hear me now. I come before you with my heart opened in humble gratitude for my soul's journey. I acknowledge my unfolding and nourish the flames of my heart, mind, and soul with the beauty I create in the world. Bless my footsteps as I walk upon my path so that I may always remember the road that leads to the truth of the flame within me. And so it is.
