One of the most influential figures in the modern revival of Ho’oponopono is Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, a native Hawaiian kahuna (spiritual teacher) and healer.
Ho’oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian healing practice involving reconciliation, forgiveness, and releasing negative emotions.
The practice is rooted in the belief that everything in the universe is connected, and that any disharmony in our relationships with others and the world around us can be healed through love, forgiveness, and gratitude.
Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona
Morrnah was born in 1913 and raised in a traditional Hawaiian family, where she learned ancient ways of healing and spiritual practice.
In her youth, Morrnah was recognized as a gifted healer and psychic, and she eventually became one of the most respected kahunas in Hawaii.
Morrna believed that Ho’oponopono could be adapted to modern times and used to heal not just individuals, but also relationships, communities, and even the planet.
The Four Key Phrases
Morrnah Simeona developed a system of Ho’oponopono that included four key phrases or mantras:
“I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you.”
The four phrases are designed to express humility, remorse, gratitude, and love, essential ingredients in the healing process.
By saying these words, we acknowledge our responsibility for any negative emotions or experiences we have created, ask for forgiveness, express gratitude for the lessons learned, and send love and positive energy to ourselves and others.
Morrnah’s Ho’oponopono Prayer
One of the most potent tools in Morrnah Simeona’s Ho’oponopono system is her prayer, often recited during meditation or other spiritual practices.
The prayer is a beautiful expression of love, gratitude, and forgiveness, and it can be used to heal ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
Here is the text of the prayer:
“Divine creator, father, mother, son as one… If I, my family, relatives, and ancestors have offended you, your family, relatives, and ancestors in thoughts, words, deeds, and actions from the beginning of our creation to the present, we ask your forgiveness… Let this cleanse, purify, release, cut all the negative memories, blocks, energies, and vibrations, and transmute these unwanted energies to pure light… And it is done.”
The Power of the Prayer
Simeona believed that by reciting this prayer, we could release negative energies and memories stored in our subconscious mind and the collective consciousness of our families, communities, and the world.
By asking for forgiveness, we acknowledge our role in creating disharmony and ask for help in releasing these negative patterns.
By expressing gratitude and sending love, we create a positive energy that can transform our lives and the world around us.
