Ho’oponopono, a constant cleaning process

“Please forgive me … I am sorry … I love you … Thank you …”
Dr Hew Len

Here is a brief summary of a truly remarkable man, Dr Ihaleakala Hew Len, a Hawaiian healer who works with and teaches a powerful self-healing and self improvement system known as Ho’oponopono.

Dr Len’s history:

More than twenty years ago, Dr Len miraculously healed a ward of mentally ill criminals at a Hawaii State Hospital using Ho’oponopono.

Dr Len is a University trained physician. And, although he did not create Ho’oponopono, he should be credited for simplifying and improving the process after diligently studying under the guidance of his teacher, Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona, a Hawaiian traditional healer and international teacher until she passed away in 1992.

From 1984 – 1987 Dr Len was staff psychologist for Hawaii State Hospital where he oversaw the high security facility that housed criminally insane male patients. These patients were not the type to mess with, least of all turn your back on because they had committed violent crimes such as murder, rape, assault and because of their degrees of ‘insanity’ were locked into this high security psychiatric facility. Naturally, violence against each other and staff members was common.

Remarkably in 1987, wrist and ankle restraints were no longer required as violence in this facility had virtually ceased. As the spirits and order improved, new off-site activities were introduced to these former violent patients, and as patients improved and healed they were moved into non-violent wards or released altogether. In just three years the entire facility was closed down … what a miracle!

How did such miraculous changes take place in this hospital?

According to Dr Len, he did not do any therapy or counseling with these patients. In fact, he literally did not see his patients in person! He simply practiced the Ho’oponopono process on a daily basis which included accepting 100% responsibility for everything being experienced by him, and this he says is what caused such miraculous transformation. In case you are skeptcal, this process has been well documented and witnessed by the staff who worked in this challenging environment.

What exactly is Ho’oponopono and how does it work?

Dr Len says, “I didn’t heal them. I healed part of myself that created them.”

What does he actually mean by ‘part of myself that created them?’

This is fundamental to the entire foundation and process of Ho’oponopono because we are 100% responsible for everything ~ everything and everywhere! Not only our personal mistakes and problems but personal successes too.

This also means if someone somewhere did something and you became aware of that, you are 100% responsible for that too.

This may seem like hogwash, but when you realise you are your world, and the world is a mirror reflection of everything you are, the picture begins to take a totally different shape.

Being 100% responsible is not the same as feeling infinitely guilty for miseries, instead it is a reminder of your creative powers within. Instead of being driven by petty egoic desires everything becomes effortlessly available and inspired from the Divine.

Ho’oponopono is a constant cleaning process – cleaning away subconscious garbage or ‘data’ as Dr Len calls it, and it is this data that is running us. This data is at the root of everything we experience. Jesus said, “love your enemies” and according to Dr Len these ‘enemies’ referred to are our negative emotions of anger, hate, greed, judgements, resentment etc which all contribute to the data that runs us causing pain and suffering. Change the data within yourself and the outer world changes.

Sadly, most of the time we use dead or outdated data to base our beliefs, perceptions, actions and experiences.

This constant cleaning is the actual Ho’oponopono practise. To release this data there are specific words one repeats continuously, like mantras, when cleansing one’s self of a specific issue, memory or event.

The words are simply:

I love you … Please forgive me … I am sorry … Thank you …

Repeating these phrases will ignite the self transformation process, and this is exactly what Dr. Hew Len did to invite divine transformation for his surroundings during his work at Hawaiian mental hospital. These simple words are immensely powerful when uttered either aloud or silently, and with as much sincerity as possible, to the Divine or whom ever you believe your True Creator to be.
