Introduction: What Is Going On Inside of Me?
In our fast-paced, constantly moving lives, we often ignore the signals our body and mind send us. We carry unresolved emotions, unspoken words, and painful memories that create internal blockages, manifesting as physical discomfort or emotional distress. One of the most profound ways to heal this internal chaos is through the Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer, a sacred Hawaiian technique for reconciliation and forgiveness.
This blog will take you through a powerful version of the Ho’oponopono Forgiveness process, designed to cleanse deep-rooted emotions and bring about holistic healing. If you have ever asked yourself, “What is going on inside of me, Divine?” this is your path toward answers and peace.
Understanding the Pain Within
“What is going on inside of me, Divine? I am unaware that is causing these pains to surface.”
Many of us feel unexplained emotional pain or physical tension without fully understanding its root cause. This pain often stems from suppressed emotions, overthinking, stress, and fear. Through the Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer, we seek clarity and release.
The Power of Responsibility in Healing
“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 emotional and physical well-being is a cornerstone of Ho’oponopono. This doesn’t mean blaming ourselves—it means acknowledging that healing starts from within. Recognizing the connection between our thoughts and our health opens the door to transformation.
Releasing Mental Clutter and Emotional Resistance
“I release overthinking. I release worry. I release fear from the situations. I surrender. I surrender. I surrender.”
Repetition is essential in Ho’oponopono Forgiveness practices. Each repetition dissolves layers of negativity stored in our subconscious. By surrendering control and letting go of resistance, we allow the Divine to guide our healing.
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 basis of the Ho’oponopono prayer. When practiced with deep intention, these words realign us with the Divine and activate profound healing. This isn’t merely a mantra; it is a frequency that resonates with love, light, and restoration.
Cleansing and Renewal
“Thank you for cleansing this from me. I’m now feeling healthy and tuned and happy.”
As we repeat these words, we visualize the release of emotional and physical pain. Imagine a gentle wave of healing light washing over your body, cleansing the areas burdened with pain or stress. This mental imagery reinforces the prayer’s impact.
The Mantra of Healing
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
Repeat this mantra daily. Let it become your morning ritual, your midday reset, and your bedtime prayer. The continuous practice of this Advanced Ho’oponopono Prayer rewires your subconscious mind and brings peace to areas of internal conflict.

So, whenever you feel overwhelmed, in pain, or unsure, ask: “What is going on inside of me?” And then begin again.
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
The Silent Alchemy of Ho’oponopono: Moving Beyond the Mantra to Heal the Healer
The four phrases—”I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you”—have become a spiritual beacon for millions. They are a powerful entry point, a lifeline thrown into the turbulent waters of our personal suffering. But what happens when the mantra begins to feel like a recording on loop? When the profound pain you seek to heal seems to echo back, unchanged, from the walls of your own being?
You have arrived at the threshold of Advanced Ho’oponopono.
This is not a more complex set of steps, but a profound simplification. It is a movement from doing Ho’oponopono to being Ho’oponopono. It is the silent, internal alchemy where the practitioner themselves is transformed in the crucible of 100% responsibility. This guide is not about a prayer you recite; it is about an identity you dissolve and rediscover.
Part 1: The Paradigm Shift: From Problem-Solver to Sacred Vessel
Beginner Ho’oponopono often feels like a tool. You have a problem (a memory, a person, a situation), and you apply the tool to fix it. This is a natural starting point, but it keeps you locked in a subtle state of resistance. You are still seeing the problem as “other,” an external entity you must cleanse yourself of.
Advanced Ho’oponopono requires a radical shift in identity. You are not a problem-solver trying to clean a dirty room. You are the room itself. And more than that, you are the awareness in which the entire concept of “clean” and “dirty” arises.
The Core Realization of Advanced Practice:
There is no “you” and a problem. There is only a constellation of data, memories, and sensations appearing in the field of your awareness. The feeling of a “problem” is simply a specific, painful configuration of this data. Taking 100% responsibility is the courageous acknowledgment that the entire constellation—the light and the dark, the joy and the pain—is arising within your own consciousness.
Your role shifts from an active “cleaner” to a sacred, receptive vessel. Your job is not to fight the darkness, but to hold such pure, non-judgmental space for it that it can reveal itself as light in disguise.
Part 2: The Threefold Crucible of Advanced Practice
This internal alchemy occurs within three interconnected realms. Mastering the advanced practice means engaging with all three simultaneously.
1. The Crucible of Perception: Transmuting the “Other”
The greatest source of our suffering is the illusion of separation. We perceive a wrongdoer, a hurtful parent, a treacherous friend “out there.” Advanced Ho’oponopono incinerates this illusion.
The Practice: Dialoguing with the Reflection
When a person triggers you, instead of seeing them as a separate entity, recognize them as a perfect mirror reflecting a disowned part of your own being.
- Step 1: Pause and Acknowledge: When the trigger arises (anger, hurt, jealousy), stop. Instead of blaming the other person, turn your attention inward and say: “This reaction is mine. This person is showing me a part of myself I have forgotten or rejected.”
- Step 2: Invite the Memory In: Speak directly to the feeling itself, as if it were a lost child. “Hello, memory of betrayal (or anger, unworthiness) that is appearing as this person. I feel you. I welcome you. You are a part of me that has been waiting to come home.”
- Step 3: Transmute with Love: Do not analyze the memory. Do not justify it. Simply hold it in the boundless space of your awareness. Pour the energy of “I love you” directly onto the raw, painful sensation. You are not loving the other person’s actions; you are loving the internal memory that is vibrating with the frequency of those actions. As you do this, the “other” begins to lose its solidity. They are no longer a monster, but a teacher, a catalyst for your own wholeness.
2. The Crucible of the Body: Releasing Somatic Memory
The subconscious mind (Unihipili) isn’t an abstract concept; it lives in the body. Deep, pre-verbal trauma and ancestral memories are stored not in the brain, but in our tissues, our nervous system, and our cellular water. No amount of verbal mantra can reach these depths alone.
The Practice: Somatic Ho’oponopono
This is the practice of listening to and cleaning the body’s innate intelligence.
- Step 1: Body Scan for Data: Sit in meditation. Instead of watching your breath, take an inventory of physical sensations. A tightness in the jaw? A knot in the stomach? A dull ache in the back? Recognize these not as random pains, but as active, living memories expressing themselves somatically.
- Step 2: Direct the Phrases to the Sensation: Place your hand gently on the area of discomfort.
- To the tight jaw: “I’m sorry that I have been clenching you, holding onto unspoken words. Please forgive me. Thank you for holding this tension for me. I love you.”
- To the knotted stomach: “I’m sorry for the fear and anxiety I have stored here. Please forgive me for ignoring your signals. Thank you for your digestive fire, for processing more than just food. I love you.”
- Step 3: Breathe into the Sensation: As you repeat the phrases, imagine your breath flowing directly into the constricted area. With each inhale, you are offering awareness. With each exhale, you are releasing the stored memory. The feeling may intensify, shift, move, or dissolve. Your only job is to stay present and loving, allowing the body’s own wisdom to unwind the memory.
3. The Crucible of Inspiration: From Cleaning to Downloading
Beginner practice focuses on cleaning the past. Advanced practice makes space for the future—for what Dr. Hew Len called “Inspiration.” Inspiration is the voice of Divinity, a new program downloaded into the vacuum left by cleaned memories.
The Practice: The Vacuum State
The state of “Zero” is not a blank nothingness; it is a state of pure potential. It is a vacuum, and nature abhors a vacuum. If you clean a memory but do not consciously invite inspiration, the old data can easily rush back in.
- Step 1: Clean First: Use the mantra or somatic practice to address a specific issue. Feel a sense of release, a quieting of the mental and emotional noise.
- Step 2: Abide in the Emptiness: After the release, do not get up immediately. Do not reach for your phone or your to-do list. Rest in the quiet, empty space. This is a sacred moment. This is the “Zero.”
- Step 3: The Silent Invitation: In this silence, hold a gentle, open-ended question. Not a demanding “Tell me what to do!” but a receptive:
- “What would you have me know?”
- “What is the next step for my highest good?”
- “I am open and ready to receive.”
Then, listen. Not with your ears, but with your entire being. The answer may not come as a voice or a vision. It may come as a sudden, inexplicable urge to call a friend, to read a certain book, to go for a walk in a different direction. This is Inspiration. Trust it and follow it. This is how Ho’oponopono moves from being a healing practice to a co-creative one.
Part 4: Advanced Applications for the Modern World
This internal alchemy can be applied to every facet of life.
- Healing Ancestral Lines: You are the living endpoint of your entire ancestry. Their joys and their traumas live in your DNA. Sit in meditation and visualize your ancestral line stretching behind you. Send the phrases “I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you” not to specific ancestors, but to the energetic field of memory that connects you. You are cleaning the shared data stream, bringing peace to generations past and future.
- Transmuting Global Suffering: When you see news of war, poverty, or environmental disaster, the tendency is to feel helpless or outraged. The advanced practitioner takes responsibility for the shared memory of conflict, lack, and separation manifesting in the world. When you feel the pain of the world, breathe it in. Acknowledge it as a memory within the collective consciousness, which includes you. Then, as you breathe out, send the energy of “I love you” and “Peace” to that memory. You are not sending it “out there”; you are transmuting the memory at its source within you.
- Navigating the Digital Realm: The internet is a vast sea of collective data, much of it chaotic. Before going online, set an intention: “I now clean all data I am about to encounter, transforming it into pure light for my highest good and the highest good of all.” As you scroll and see triggering content, silently offer the phrases to the data stream itself. You become a node of purification in the digital network.
Conclusion: The Practitioner as the Prayer
In the advanced stages, Ho’oponopono ceases to be something you do and becomes what you are.
The phrases are no longer just words but the very rhythm of your being:
- “I’m sorry” is the humility of acknowledging the ever-changing weather of your inner world.
- “Please forgive me” is the surrender of the ego that claims to be in control.
- “Thank you” is the constant prayer of gratitude for the perfection of every moment, even the painful ones.
- “I love you” is the fundamental frequency of your awareness, the boundless space that holds all things without condition.
You realize that you are not healing yourself to become whole. You are practicing wholeness, and in doing so, the appearance of fragmentation—the problems, the pain, the difficult people—is healed in your reflection.
The final stage of Advanced Ho’oponopono is silence. It is the understanding that the most powerful prayer was never spoken aloud. It is the state of being where the healer, the healing, and the healed are seen as One.
I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.
