🌺 Introduction: Influence Is Energy
In a world saturated with strategies, reels, and content calendars, brand influence isn’t just about visibility anymore.
It’s about vibration.
You can have the best copy, the most polished visuals, and even thousands of followers-but if your inner world is cluttered with fear, self-doubt, and guilt, your outer brand will reflect it.
What if the secret to lasting brand magnetism wasn’t more effort… but more healing?
What if there was a simple, ancient 3-word prayer that could help you align your energy, unlock emotional clarity, and deeply connect with your audience?
Let me introduce you to the Hawaiian practice that changed everything for me and for the entrepreneurs I coach:
Ho’oponopono.
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
Yes, it’s four phrases-but the three words that did the heavy lifting for my brand were:
“Please forgive me.”
✨ How Ho’oponopono Entered My Brand Journey
I didn’t discover Ho’oponopono in a marketing workshop.
I found it in the quiet hours of burnout. In the overwhelm of being everything to everyone, including in my brand.
I was:
- Creating with pressure
- Performing instead of expressing
- Attracting clients, but not aligned ones
I realized—my personal brand had outgrown my inner alignment.
That’s when I was introduced to this sacred Hawaiian forgiveness prayer.
And everything shifted.
🌀 “Please Forgive Me” – A Brand Healing Mantra
In business, we rarely talk about what needs to be forgiven.
But let’s be honest:
- How many times have you judged yourself for not being consistent online?
- Or felt shame for raising your prices?
- Or guilt over being seen as “too much” or “too spiritual”?
I did.
And every time I repeated:
“Please forgive me”
I wasn’t just seeking divine forgiveness.
I was offering grace to myself.
For:
- Old patterns of invisibility
- Childhood programming that said “don’t shine too bright”
- The self-imposed pressure to be perfect
With every repetition, I softened. My message flowed again. My presence expanded.
And my brand began to resonate deeply-not just perform loudly.
🔥 The Energetic Truth: People Buy Your Alignment
You can’t fake energy.
Your audience might not articulate it-but they can feel:
- When your voice is clear vs. chaotic
- When your offers come from pressure vs. purpose
- When your story is masked vs. magnetic
When I practiced Ho’oponopono, I wasn’t just healing personal wounds.
I was cleaning the energetic lens of my business.
Suddenly:
- My messaging simplified
- My podcast grew organically
- Ideal clients came with ease
- Brand collaborations aligned effortlessly
Why?
Because my inner resonance caught up with my outer visibility.
🧘♀️ How to Use the 3-Word Prayer in Your Business
Here’s how I guide my clients to use this practice in real-time:
1. Before creating content
Say “Please forgive me” to release pressure, perfectionism, or self-doubt.
2. After a sales call
Use it to clear energy, especially if it didn’t go as expected.
3. When imposter syndrome hits
Pause, close your eyes, and repeat the full Ho’oponopono prayer:
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
Let it land. Let it lift. Let it recalibrate.
🌿 Real Client Wins (Energetic + Strategic)
- A voice coach healed a visibility wound through Ho’oponopono and finally launched her course-with a $10K week.
- A corporate escapee used this prayer daily and shifted her niche to something truly aligned-within 3 weeks she booked out her first cohort.
- A wellness CEO used it to reconcile with an old co-founder-and ended up attracting an investor aligned with her values.
This isn’t “woo.”
It’s energetic alignment + spiritual strategy.
💎 Final Thoughts: Forgiveness Is the Fastest Funnel
Everyone talks about funnels, growth hacks, and content prompts.
But the fastest path to brand influence is this:
“Please forgive me.”
Why?
Because when you forgive yourself, you drop the mask.
And when the mask drops-your audience finally meets you.
That’s where influence is born.
That’s where brands become movements.
That’s where your business becomes your legacy.
