In the relentless, high-frequency hum of our modern existence, we have become masters of suppression. We ignore the subtle—and sometimes not-so-subtle—signals that our body, mind, and spirit tirelessly send us. We carry the weight of unresolved emotions, the echoes of unspoken words, and the haunting shadows of painful memories. These are not merely abstract concepts; they are energetic imprints that create profound internal blockages. These blockages manifest as chronic physical discomfort, unexplained anxiety, repetitive relationship patterns, and a pervasive sense of being disconnected from our own lives. It is a silent internal chaos, a static that drowns out the whisper of our true selves. When we finally pause long enough to feel this dissonance, the question that arises from the depths of our being is a prayer in itself: “What is going on inside of me, Divine?”
This heartfelt plea is the starting pistol for a profound journey of homecoming. One of the most potent and sacred pathways to answer this call and achieve deep healing is through the Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer. This is not a simple mindfulness technique; it is a sacred Hawaiian practice of profound reconciliation and forgiveness, a process of making right that which has been broken, both within ourselves and in our relationships with all of existence.
This blog is your guide through a powerful, layered version of the Ho’oponopono Forgiveness process. This advanced practice is meticulously designed to cleanse not just surface-level irritations, but the very deep-rooted emotional and karmic seeds of our suffering. If you have ever felt a yearning for true peace, for the resolution of pains that logic cannot explain, this is your mapped path toward answers, clarity, and ultimate soul-level liberation.
Understanding the Pain Within: The Voice of Your Unhealed Self
“What is going on inside of me, Divine? I am unaware of what is causing these pains to surface.”
This question is the cornerstone of awareness. Many of us navigate life feeling a constant, low-grade emotional pain or physical tension—a tightness in the chest, a knot in the stomach, a persistent ache in the neck—without ever grasping its origin. We often misattribute this suffering to external circumstances: a stressful job, a difficult person, or plain bad luck. However, this pain almost always stems from an internal source: a reservoir of suppressed emotions, a cyclone of overthinking, the heavy cloak of stress, and the primal, chilling grip of fear. These are memories, or ‘data,’ as modern Ho’oponopono practitioners like Dr. Hew Len call them, replaying in the subconscious mind.
The pain surfacing is not a punishment; it is a messenger. It is your inner child—the cumulative, younger self that experienced original hurts—knocking loudly on the door of your adult consciousness, begging to be heard, acknowledged, and finally, felt. Through the Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer, we do not shush this messenger. We invite it in. We sit with it. We seek to understand its language, which is the language of sensation and emotion. This process is the beginning of emotional release, allowing these stuck energies to finally complete their natural cycle and move through you, rather than remaining trapped within you.
The Quantum Leap of Responsibility: The Key to Karmic Forgiveness
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me for not knowing, for not understanding that my thoughts, beliefs, actions, and feelings have caused this pain in my body.”
Taking 100% responsibility for our entire reality—our emotional well-being, our physical health, our life circumstances—is the radical and non-negotiable cornerstone of Advanced Ho’oponopono. This is often the most misunderstood part of the process. It is absolutely not about self-blame, shame, or guilt. It does not mean you are responsible for the abusive actions of others or the random events of the world.
Instead, it is a quantum leap in perception. It means acknowledging that you are 100% responsible for your internal experience of and reaction to everything that happens in your life. Your thoughts, your beliefs, your interpretations, and your unresolved past are the lenses through which you perceive and thus create your reality. By stating, “My thoughts… have caused this pain,” you are reclaiming your power. If your thoughts can create pain, then your thoughts—when realigned with love and forgiveness—can also create healing. This shift from victimhood to authorship is the very engine of karmic forgiveness. You are not begging an external god to forgive you; you are initiating a process where you forgive yourself for holding onto the energy of the pain, thereby dissolving the karmic loop that has kept you bound to it.
The Sacred Surrender: Releasing Mental Clutter and Emotional Resistance
“I release overthinking. I release worry. I release fear from the situations. I surrender. I surrender. I surrender.”
The mind, in its misguided attempt to protect us, often becomes our greatest jailer. It constructs intricate prisons of “what if” and “if only,” fueling the cycles of overthinking, worry, and fear. This mental chatter is a form of resistance—a refusal to accept the present moment and a futile attempt to control the uncontrollable. The command to “surrender” is not a sign of weakness; it is an act of profound strength and intelligence. It is the decision to stop fighting the ocean current and instead to float, trusting the water to support you.
Repetition is the key that unlocks the subconscious mind in Ho’oponopono Forgiveness practices. Each repetition of “I release… I surrender” is not just an affirmation; it is a command to the nervous system. It is a software update for the psyche. It systematically dissolves layers of negativity stored in the vast database of your subconscious (the Unihipili). By surrendering the illusion of control and letting go of resistance, you create a vacuum of stillness. It is into this stillness that the Divine, or your own Higher Self (the Aumakua), can flow, guiding your healing in ways your conscious mind could never orchestrate. This surrender is the prerequisite for the emotional release you seek.
Connection with the Divine: The Core of Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer
“Divine, I love you. Divine, I’m sorry. Divine, please forgive me. Thank you for forgiving me.”
These four phrases—I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you—form the timeless, universal heart of the Ho’oponopono prayer. In beginner practice, they are often directed at a person or situation. In Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer, their application deepens. They become a constant, inner dialogue with the Divine, with Life itself, and crucially, with the parts of yourself that are in pain.
- “I’m sorry”: This is the expression of remorse for your unconscious participation in the stream of suffering, both personal and collective. It is an apology for not seeing the Divine in yourself and others.
- “Please forgive me”: This is the humble request for the cleansing of the shared memory that is causing the pain. You are asking to be returned to your original, pristine state of zero limits.
- “Thank you”: This is the prayer of absolute faith. It thanks the Divine for the healing before it is physically or emotionally manifest, knowing it is already complete in the spiritual realm.
- “I love you”: This is the most potent force in the universe. It is not a sentimental feeling, but a conscious, active transmission of the frequency of love to the pain, the memory, the situation. Love is the solvent that dissolves all energetic blockages.
When practiced with this deep, contemplative intention, these words cease to be a mantra and become a resonant frequency. They vibrate at the level of love, light, and restoration, recalibrating your entire being and activating deep healing on a cellular level.
The Somatic Cleansing: Transmuting Past Traumas Held in the Body
“Thank you for cleansing this from me. I’m now feeling healthy and tuned and happy.”
The subconscious mind doesn’t just live in your head; it is encoded in your body. Past traumas, especially those from early childhood or ancestral lines, are often stored as somatic memories—energetic imprints in your tissues, your nervous system, and even your cellular water. No amount of talking therapy or cognitive reframing can fully reach these depths. This is where Advanced Ho’oponopono becomes a somatic practice.
As you repeat the cleansing phrases, engage your imagination and your bodily awareness. Visualize the release of emotional and physical pain not as an abstract concept, but as a tangible process. Imagine a gentle, effervescent, cobalt-blue light (or any color that feels healing to you) originating from your heart and flowing like a wave through your bloodstream, your nerves, and into every cell. See this light seeking out the areas burdened with pain or stress—the tight shoulders holding the weight of the world, the gut twisted with anxiety, the heart shielded by old betrayals. As the light washes over these areas, it doesn’t attack the pain; it lovingly embraces it, transmuting the dense, stuck energy into light, information, and ultimately, freedom. This mental imagery is not “just imagination”; it is a powerful tool of neuroplasticity and energy medicine that reinforces the prayer’s physical impact, allowing you to truly transmute past traumas.
The Mantra of Healing and Its Ripple Effect
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
This mantra is your spiritual anchor. Make it your morning ritual to set the tone for your day, your midday reset to clear accumulated stress, and your bedtime prayer to cleanse the subconscious during sleep. The continuous, conscious practice of this Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer does more than just bring peace; it actively rewires your subconscious mind, updating the core beliefs that generate internal and external conflict.
But the advanced practice understands that the cleaning is not just for you. As you clean your own data, you clean the data you share with your family, your ancestors, and even the collective consciousness. When you heal a memory of betrayal within yourself, you are pulling that thorn out of the entire human field. This is how personal healing becomes a service to the world. This is the ultimate expression of karmic forgiveness—breaking the chain for yourself and your lineage.
A Deeper Dive: Advanced Rituals for Ho’oponopono Forgiveness
- Find a Quiet Space and Center Yourself: Sit comfortably in silence. This is a sacred contract with your own soul.
- Place Your Hands Over Your Heart: Connect with your emotional and energetic center. Feel the physical sensation of your hands on your chest, anchoring you in the present.
- Breathe Deeply with Intent: Inhale love, light, and cleansing energy. Exhale fear, memories, and stuck data. Imagine your breath as the vehicle for the Ho’oponopono process.
- Speak the Mantra with Feeling and Specificity: Move beyond rote repetition. As a specific pain or memory arises, speak directly to it:
- To a feeling of abandonment in your inner child: “Little one within, I’m sorry I left you alone with that fear. Please forgive me. Thank you for your resilience. I love you.”
- To a physical pain: “Pain in my lower back, I’m sorry for the stress and burden I’ve stored in you. Please forgive me. Thank you for supporting me. I love you and I release you.”
- To a difficult person: “I’m sorry for the shared memory of conflict we are both replaying. Please forgive me. Thank you for being my mirror. I love you for the healing you catalyze in me.”
- Visualize the Healing in Detail: Picture your pain being replaced with light. See old, dark energy leaving your body as a grey mist, transformed into golden light at the perimeter of your aura.
- Abide in the Silence After: Once you feel a release, sit in the quiet emptiness. This “Zero” state is where Inspiration—new, divine downloads—can enter. Listen.
- Repeat as Needed: Consistency is not about dogma; it is about devotion to your own freedom. Daily repetition deepens the neural pathways of healing.
Final Thoughts: Embrace the Change and Achieve Soul-Level Liberation
Deep healing is rarely a linear process or an overnight miracle. It is a spiral journey, where you may revisit layers of the same issue at progressively deeper levels. But the consistent, devoted practice of Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer is the most reliable vehicle for this journey. It gradually, irrevocably shifts your entire being—emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual.
As you take radical responsibility, offer profound forgiveness to the memories within you, and surrender to the transformative power of love, you cease to be a victim of your past. You become the alchemist of your present. You open the path for the Divine to work through you, not just for you. This is the essence of soul-level liberation—the realization that you were never broken, only buried under layers of accumulated data. The true you, the “I” that is one with the Divine, is and always has been whole, perfect, and complete.
So, whenever you feel overwhelmed, in pain, or unsure, turn inward and ask with sincere curiosity: “What is going on inside of me?” And then, without waiting for an intellectual answer, begin the cleaning. Begin the loving.
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
