Introduction
Can luxury and spirituality co-exist?
This question has shaped the soul of the Luxury Unplugged Podcast—where stories of success, travel, and transformation merge with the sacred rhythm of spiritual growth. As someone who has walked the path of corporate ambition and spiritual awakening, I’ve come to believe: you don’t have to choose between ambition and alignment. You can have both.
Today, I invite you into a deeper practice of one of the most healing tools I’ve ever used: the Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer—particularly as practiced and popularized by Dr. Hew Len, the psychologist who healed an entire ward of criminally insane patients without meeting them in person.
Let’s explore the advanced version of this powerful forgiveness technique, one question at a time.
1. What makes Dr. Hew Len’s Ho’oponopono approach “advanced”?
While traditional Ho’oponopono focuses on healing relationships through the core four phrases—I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you—Dr. Hew Len took it to a deeper level. He didn’t see external problems as “others’ faults.” He believed everything in our reality is a projection of memory stored in our subconscious.
His advanced approach teaches us: you can heal others by healing yourself.
This is powerful. It means if someone in your life is suffering—or if you’re stuck in a pattern—you don’t need to fix “them.” You clean the data in you that created it.
Every repetition of the prayer clears toxic memory. This method isn’t just about words. It’s about intention, repetition, and taking full responsibility for your energy.
2. What are the four phrases and why do they work?
The foundational Ho’oponopono phrases are:
- I’m sorry
- Please forgive me
- Thank you
- I love you
These words are more than affirmations. They’re vibrational keys that open the door to inner peace. Each phrase holds sacred energy:
- “I’m sorry” acknowledges that something—whether known or unknown—within you created the situation.
- “Please forgive me” is a humble request to the Divine, to cleanse that memory.
- “Thank you” is an expression of trust and gratitude.
- “I love you” reconnects you to Source, dissolving emotional debris.
Dr. Hew Len repeated these phrases thousands of times, internally, even while reviewing criminal files. Miraculously, patients began to recover. That’s the depth of this technique.
3. How is “cleaning” done in advanced Ho’oponopono?
In Dr. Hew Len’s words, “cleaning” is the process of erasing memories replaying in the subconscious mind. It is a daily practice—a spiritual hygiene routine.
Whenever you feel triggered, anxious, or judgmental, instead of blaming others, you clean.
You can clean by saying the phrases silently, over and over, while focusing on the emotion, person, or thought. You don’t need to analyze. Just clean.
Advanced practitioners also use symbolic tools like:
- Blue solar water (exposed to sunlight in a blue bottle)
- Light switch phrases (e.g., “ice blue,” “dew drop”)
- Inner child dialogues
The goal is not to fix—it’s to erase and return to zero. When you’re at zero, you’re free. You’re no longer reacting from memory, but responding from Divine inspiration.
4. Can I use Ho’oponopono to heal relationships?
Absolutely. That’s one of its greatest gifts.
Let’s say you’re hurt by someone. Traditional self-help might tell you to talk it out. But what if that’s not possible—or helpful?
With advanced Ho’oponopono, you say:
“I’m sorry, for whatever is in me that created this.”
“Please forgive me, for holding onto this pain.”
“Thank you, for showing me what needs to be healed.”
“I love you, to the part of me that needs love.”
You’re not excusing anyone’s behavior. You’re freeing yourself from the emotional glue that keeps you stuck.
Even without contact, the energy between you begins to shift. You become the healer—not by force, but by frequency.
5. How does this practice align with luxury and modern life?
Here’s the truth: Luxury without inner peace is emptiness in disguise.
We chase success, travel, and material joy, but what we truly crave is inner luxury—emotional ease, energetic balance, peace in our thoughts.
The Luxury Unplugged Podcast was born from this knowing: you can live well and live deeply. You can sip champagne and still chant mantras. You can board a business-class flight and still pause to heal your inner child.
Ho’oponopono reminds us that the most opulent life is one where your mind is quiet, your heart is open, and your past is clean.
That is the true luxury.
6. What is the role of the subconscious in Ho’oponopono?
Dr. Hew Len emphasized that our subconscious (the “inner child”) stores all memories, including inherited trauma and collective pain. Every fear, illness, or conflict we experience is a replay of stored memory.
Advanced Ho’oponopono works by cleaning these memories at the subconscious level.
You can speak directly to your inner child:
“Dear inner child, I love you.
I’m sorry for ignoring you.
Please forgive me for the pain you’ve carried.
Thank you for being with me.”
This softens the barriers between your conscious and unconscious self. As healing happens, your energy shifts—and so does your reality.
It’s not magic. It’s deep emotional recalibration.
7. Can I use Ho’oponopono for physical pain and illness?
Yes. In fact, the body often carries the emotional burdens we haven’t released. Neck tension, digestive issues, fatigue—these are often symptoms of unhealed memories.
Start by gently placing your hand where it hurts. Breathe. Speak the prayer to your body:
“I’m sorry, for storing this pain here.
Please forgive me, for not listening sooner.
Thank you, body, for speaking to me.
I love you.”
Don’t fight the pain. Speak to it. Love it. Clean what you can. Let the Divine take care of the rest.
Some clients report spontaneous shifts. Others feel a softening over weeks. The key is consistency, not speed.
8. What’s the best way to integrate this into my daily routine?
Here’s a simple advanced Ho’oponopono practice you can use daily:
Morning Ritual:
- Wake up and repeat the prayer to yourself and your day.
- Visualize golden light cleaning your mind.
During the Day:
- Clean while waiting, walking, or reading emails.
- Repeat silently in moments of stress or interaction.
Evening Ritual:
- Speak to your inner child.
- Clean your thoughts, regrets, and emotions from the day.
Advanced practitioners also keep a cleaning list—names of people, situations, or emotions they clean on daily. You can write: “My financial worries. My comparison with others. My fear of judgment.” Then repeat the prayer with love.
9. What are some success stories with advanced Ho’oponopono?
There are many. Dr. Hew Len’s most famous story is his healing of the criminal ward at Hawaii State Hospital. Without direct therapy, he reviewed files, cleaned his reactions, and practiced the prayer daily. Over time, violent patients began to heal. Some were released. Staff morale improved.
In my own coaching work, I’ve seen:
- Entrepreneurs release fear of failure
- Parents reconnect with estranged children
- Professionals heal from burnout
- Artists overcome blocks
- Women reclaim their voice after trauma
The common thread? They stopped fixing and started cleaning.
And that changed everything.
10. How can I begin today—without overthinking it?
Start small. Start sincere.
You don’t need crystals, altars, or courses. You need you. And a moment of silence.
Find a quiet space. Place your hand on your heart. Whisper:
“I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.”
Say it to your anxiety. Your to-do list. Your bank account. Your past. Your future.
Say it to your luxury. Your ambition. Your spiritual self.
Let this be your prayer. Your anchor. Your revolution.
Final Thoughts: From Luxury to Lightness
This isn’t just a technique. It’s a way of being.
Ho’oponopono invites you to live from zero—a place where memory no longer controls you, and inspiration flows freely. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being clean.
As you practice, remember:
Luxury is not what you own. It’s how light you feel.
And the lightest way to live… is to forgive everything inside you that holds weight.
That is your real glow-up.
