Return to Zero.
What is Hoʻoponopono?
A Hawaiian practice of returning to peace.
Hoʻoponopono — hoʻo·pono·pono — is the Hawaiian art of making right. A practice of cleaning the memories the mind keeps replaying, so what's left is the natural state of harmony. Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len, carrying forward Morrnah Simeona's older teaching, distilled it into four phrases anyone can say in silence, anywhere.
- I'm sorry.
- Please forgive me.
- Thank you.
- I love you.
You are not apologising to anyone outside of you. You are addressing the part of yourself that's been holding the weight. The cleaning is what does the work — not the intellect, not the effort.
Peace begins with me. The only person I need to change is myself.
— Dr. Ihaleakalá Hew Len
