“Love for yourself is the best tool for self-improvement. And when you improve yourself, you improve the whole world.”
(Ihaleakal Hugh Lin)
Recently, people's interest in all kinds of trainings, practices, lectures and any other information about self-improvement, the development of one's personality, and improving relationships with loved ones has been growing exponentially.
Moreover, training and communication with psychologists, coaches can take place both in reality and via the Internet. And even in absentia, without communicating, but simply studying their works on their own and applying the acquired knowledge in practice.
In this article we will take a closer look at the Hawaiian Hooponopono method. What it is? Who created it? Let's dwell on the basic principles and techniques.
History of the application of the method (facts and events)
The phrase that served as the epigraph to the article belongs to one very interesting person, Dr. Ihaleakal Hugh Lin. It was he who first began to apply the Ho'oponopono method.
Long time HughLin worked as a staff psychologist at a Hawaiian clinic. His patients were not just mentally ill people, but criminals with severe mental disabilities. The staff of the clinic changed frequently, as cases of attacks by patients on doctors were repeatedly observed. This is the contingent the doctor had to work with.
Hugh Lin behaved unusually. He never met with his wards, did not give them any oral or written recommendations, that is, he did not treat them in the traditional sense of the word. For days on end, Hugh Lin only studied their medical records with case histories, while directing all the influence exclusively on himself, which is what the Hooponopono method suggests. Improving himself, he treated patients and achieved stunning success in this.
How did it happen? According to the doctor, he simply uttered certain affirmation phrases and applied some techniques to himself, which we will definitely talk about in this article. It seems incredible, but the Hawaiian method of Hugh Lin (Hooponopono) allowed patients to get better in the shortest possible time! They canceled the use of the strongest tranquilizers, removed the handcuffs from especially violent ones, and even discharged them, since they ceased to be dangerous to society.
The Ho'oponopono Method works wonders as Dr. Hew Ling's results showed!
What is its essence? Where did he come from?
Hawaiian roots
Dr. Hugh Lin borrowed this system, not invented it himself.
The Hooponopono Method is the ancient Hawaiian art of problem solving. If ato translate from the original this intricate word, it turns out something like "improvement of causes" or "correction of errors."
Hawaiians believed that all the problems in people's lives come from themselves, or rather from what is in their heads. Our thoughts, our actions lead us to illness, trouble and disharmony. Roots - in the past, sometimes they stretch through the years along with other people's mistakes, which as a result become our problems.
If you change this, then a new, improved stage of life will surely begin.
According to the natives, the Hawaiian Ho'oponopono method, with the help of prayers, repentance, affirmations and rituals, erases unsuccessful old programs in a person's head and helps him enter the flow of Abundance.
The difficulty was that the Hawaiians were talking not only about correcting the personal mistakes of a person, but also about all his relatives and ancestors. Therefore, it was not worth waiting for immediate results then. In addition, the ancient method allowed the purification rites only for those initiated into the sacrament, and not for everyone. It was practiced by shamans and healers - kahuna. One of these was Morrna Nalamaku Simeon. It was this Hawaiian healer who shared the Hooponopono method with Dr. Hugh Lin.
Over time, practices have changed somewhat, simplified, but the main core remains. Now a person can cleanse his own mind of various accumulated debris and negativity, including using Hooponopono, the Hawaiian method of healing.
Main essence and philosophy
Everything that surrounds a person -they are mental programs controlled by his memory from the past. All the experience of our ancestors rests on our shoulders, presses and does not allow us to develop. To remove the blocks, certain actions are required, which must be carried out only with your "I".
Despite the trail of mistakes of previous generations, the Hooponopono method assumes the full and unconditional responsibility of the person himself for everything that happens. And it's not just about what happens to a person personally. Ho'oponopono catchphrase: "The world starts with me!" Any events with friends, buddies, neighbors, with everyone in his city, country, all over the world also fall under the responsibility of a person. Any armed conflicts, wars, disasters, epidemics occur because of certain words, deeds and even thoughts of a person in the past or present!
If there was a quarrel, a scandal, even completely unfamiliar personalities before your eyes, then it was you who attracted him. If you observe this and it touches you, then the situation is already within you. Someone looked the wrong way, rudely answered, called names or somewhere, it doesn’t even matter in which city, on which street the accident occurred - you keep the answer.
Understanding such a philosophy is not easy, and even harder to accept. At the same time, you should not fall into despondency, depression or another extreme - start blaming everyone in a row for your troubles, except yourself. This is the wrong way. But it's not worth it to self-flagellate. Separate two concepts - responsibility and guilt.
The good thing is that the Ho'oponopono method cana person to change an unpleasant situation through inner work with his mind. There is a huge power inside everyone, which, unfortunately, we do not know how to use. It appears at the moment when there is a complete inner readiness to accept it. This is where the Ho'oponopono method helps.
Our task is to feel responsibility and change the programs within ourselves, to cleanse ourselves. In this way, changes will take place in the outer life. They will lead in a chain to the transformation of someone else's present. So it will go on.
Hooponopono method: tools
Such a bizarre, hard to remember and hard to pronounce name on the first try is surprisingly simple. Let's turn to practice.
Start by changing yourself, then others around you will change - that's what Hooponopono is all about. The method of healing involves going through several stages: first forgiveness, then repentance, and finally transformation. Affirmations play a big role in this. These are very simple magic phrases that can radically change a person's life. There are four in total. Consider each.
I'm sorry
A person's understanding that he himself has attracted negativity into his life by thinking wrong. Statement of this fact. There is something about me that attracted the problem.
There are different opinions about this phrase, which in the original sounds like: I am sorry. Some believe that when translated into Russian - "I'm very sorry", the deep meaning is lost. It would be more accurate to say, “I repent.”
Thank you
This is man's appeal to the universe. Gratitude for what is in the present, whatever it may be. After all, everything is relative. This phrase carries a very powerful positive energy. The Universe will definitely pay attention to your gratitude and help. Just don't expect a quick result.
I love you
Say as a statement. It is addressed to everyone and everyone: to oneself (this is first of all), to a child, relatives, just a passer-by, nature, the sun. The ancient Hawaiians and their Ho'oponopono method claim that all this is the Almighty in its various manifestations.
Full and unconditional love! It must come from the heart, regardless of the appearance, behavior, principles and actions of others and oneself.
Write a book, stand in traffic, sell your products or services, say this phrase. If you have love inside, other people will feel it. What you give is what you get back. This is the law.
Repetition of this phrase is best able to clear a person's memory and bring it to a state of zero, which is the most important, according to this technique. No wonder the second name is the eraser method (Hooponopono).
When a person gets rid of negative programs and is in a state of emptiness, amazing things begin to happen to him! There are unexpected ideas, insights, everything comes easy.
Please forgive me
You need to pronounce the phrase, referring to your higher "I". Ask for forgiveness for yourimperfect thoughts, not shifting responsibility to other people and their unseemly actions towards you.
These four phrases are advised to repeat as often as possible in different places, both silently and out loud. But not just talking, but realizing why and for what. This is what Dr. Hugh Lin said when treating his patients.
To begin with, choose one and say it for ten minutes a day, it is better to do it in front of a mirror. Then you can move on to the rest in order. After practicing this for a while, affirmations will probably be applied all at once.
Let's give a household example, on the basis of which it will be possible to better understand the essence of the method.
There was a quarrel between the couple. Internal conversation with myself: I understand that I created a quarrel myself. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry. My frivolity was unacceptable. I thank you for the speedy resolution of the problem and love you with all my heart.
But all these words should not be directed at a specific person, in this case, a husband or a friend. This is an internal conversation with yourself.
Affirmations are far from the only practices offered by the Hooponopono method. Exercises and tasks, which will not be difficult for any person to complete, exist in large numbers. Each tool performs its own functions and tasks.
Let's look at them.
Eraser
The theme of the eraser continues in one of the practices, which is called so.
You need to take an unsharpened pencil. At the end it should bean elastic band with which you begin to knock on any object that needs cleaning. It could be a thing or even yourself. If you need to get rid of negative memories, just tap on the surface.
That's it! It's so simple that you can't even believe how it can help. While tapping, you can still say the four affirmations above.
Sometimes this exercise is done by tapping on your baby photo.
According to the reviews of those who used the "Pencil" or "Eraser" method, it is able to clear even long-standing deep problems.

Money Techniques
There are also special exercises on this topic. You can successfully use the Ho'oponopono method to attract money, keep it in your life.
Orange juice
Everything happens in our imagination. We imagine a glass of juice and how we lower a bill into it, for example, in 100 dollars or any other denomination. In addition to money, you can put another item that you would like to clean.
According to Dr. Len, orange juice symbolizes the rays of the sun, which means that-that is divine. If a person has loans and pays interest on them, this offends money. We urgently need to ask for their forgiveness. And do this by putting them in orange juice.
The Ho'oponopono method and philosophy regards money as a living substance. However, this approach is applicable to any other subjects. Money can and should be discussed and consulted. Since the energy of all those who touched them is contained in the bills, and not always positive, they constantly need to be cleaned.
Create your own soulful conversation with money using the tips from the article. For example, a monologue might be:
My dear, good money! I want to ask for your forgiveness both on my own behalf and on behalf of all my ancestors. I take full responsibility for the fact that we offended you. Sorry about it! Please forgive me! I love you and thank you for everything
This way all the negativity associated with money will go away. The main thing is that the words come from the heart.
Sunflower Tool
This yellow flower can also help clear the way to money and remove all programs blocking their arrival. Saying aloud the word "sunflower", a picture with it or a flower in the country house under the window. Everything will work.
According to the adherents of technology, the method and philosophy of Ho oponopono will certainly lead to positive changes, change the person himself and the life around him.
Life Without Limits Book (Hooponopono Method)
These practices have become widespread and world famousnot immediately, but only after publication in one of the books of the popular American writer Joe Vitale. He is also the author of the acclaimed bestseller The Secret.
In Life Without Limits, Vitale describes his meeting and long conversation with healer Hugh Lin. The subject of their conversation was Hooponopono, a Hawaiian method of healing successfully applied by the doctor. After the publication of this book, the system became known in Russia as well.
The author Joe Vitale himself tried the Hooponopono method and some techniques on himself and friends. He told about this already in his other book - "The Key".
How Joe Vitali evaluates the Hooponopono method becomes clear from his publications. The author likes the practice, he is amazed by the results and a little surprised.
Vitale gives the example of a nasty email he received. At first he wanted to be indignant, upset, to think why exactly he received such a message, in general, to do everything as before. But in time I remembered Hooponopono. Then Joe just started repeating the affirmations and doing nothing else! After some time, a second letter of apology arrived. According to the writer, this is how Hawaiian practices worked. John Vitale's e-mail story is one of the most significant and weighty comments about Ho'oponopono.
You can have different attitudes to this unusual system, believe it or not - everyone's business. There are other examples.
If you find people practicing the Ho'oponopono Method, the feedback is almost always positive. Because thevery many who have used the system begin to notice changes in the environment. For example, one woman who had serious problems with her husband returned happiness to the family after using Hooponopono. She began to change herself, her husband saw it and also changed for the better.
People who have learned about the Hooponopono method and started to apply it unanimously claim that simply amazing things and miracles began to happen to them. And the internal state is described as unconditional happiness, harmony with people and the whole world.
