Transcript
Greetings.
This is Christine Althea and I am so grateful that you are here.
This meditation will allow for the experience of healing through ho'oponopono,
A Hawaiian healing prayer.
The intention of ho'oponopono is to recognize the need for our own self-healing,
Only by becoming aware of and taking responsibility for how we contribute in the world,
Both in the lovingness as well as in the madness,
And only by taking the time to love,
Nurture,
And heal from within are we fully able to expand the healing and awakening of the world.
As we heal ourselves,
We do heal the world.
As we see the world through our own clearer eyes of truth,
We expand the universal awareness of truth.
As we work with the four healing phrases of the Hawaiian ho'oponopono healing prayer,
I love you,
I'm sorry,
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
Accept this mantra and this meditation as an intention and healing to yourself.
This meditation is from you,
Speaking to you.
Great divinity of all things,
We honor ourselves as unique expressions of you.
We are grateful for the life force that resides within us,
Flows through us,
And expresses as us.
Be comfortable and relaxed in a seated position.
As you take in a full,
Deep breath,
Gently lift yourself into a very tall spine.
Keeping the spine tall,
Exhale with a verbal sigh.
On your next inhale,
Roll your shoulders up and drop them back to open your heart center.
And with your heart center open and expanded,
Exhale with another verbal sigh.
Inhale again.
And this time,
Do a very small and gentle rocking motion on your sit bones,
Side to side,
Front to back,
In order to find a comfortable and well-balanced seat to create a place of supported posture as a foundation for your body's relaxation.
One last time and exhale with a verbal sigh.
Now breathe normally.
Each time the mantra is spoken,
Join me silently,
Repeating the phrases in your own mind.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
We will do this for each of four sections.
So we begin.
As you are breathing deeply and fully,
Feel your feet heavy and connected to Mother Earth.
Take a moment to feel her.
Connect with her.
Know you are a part of her.
With that grounded connection,
Now visually imagine that far out from the infiniteness of space there is a star out there.
Your star.
The one that your soul was originally born from many,
Many eons ago.
From that star,
Your original ancestor,
Your source,
Your birth.
Imagine an energetic beam of pure white light that travels down through the light years to make a connection with you here on Earth.
That brilliant light brings the fullness of all the love you have ever experienced and all the love of perfect divinity.
That light gently washes over the crown of your head,
Bathing you in purity.
Feel the love of that light as it moves through the top of your head and travels down toward your heart center.
Here it settles as a light ball,
Expanding and pulsing with the sensations of warmth and comfort and love.
See this ball of light.
Feel the infinite love it brings and allow it to radiate through your entire being.
I love you.
I love you for being kind,
Showing compassion,
For what you have learned in order to help me grow into loving myself more,
For the goals you set and commit to reach,
Because it stretched me to see myself in ever-expanding beingness.
I love you for the joy you express,
For the care you give my body and mind,
For the hope,
For the dreams,
For reminding me of the ease and grace of the divine flow of life.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
And now continue in your own mind.
Thank you very much.
Bring your attention back to your heart center.
Feel the loving glow of your ancestral light.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for doubting you and for seeing you as not enough,
For taking responsibility for other people's pain while not acknowledging our own.
I'm sorry for not listening to our gut instincts and for giving away our power,
For not trusting,
For not being with you fully.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
And continue.
Come back to your heart,
Now overflowing with love and compassion.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me for not always knowing how to love you,
For losing faith,
For not seeing the true beauty of you.
Forgive me for those moments I couldn't trust the process,
When I reacted from a place of fear,
When I forgot the perfection of the moment.
Please forgive me.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
And continue.
Hold space with your heart as it radiates with infinite gratitude.
Thank you.
Thank you for sticking by me,
For always wanting to protect me,
For reminding me that all I need to be is myself.
Thank you for bearing witness for me when I'm working through things.
I know I can always count on you to be there.
Thank you for not judging,
For being patient,
For reminding me that this too shall pass.
With all your beautiful flaws that make you a perfect vessel for compassion and understanding,
Know that I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
And continue.
I love you.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
Slowly breathe in and take a few moments to bring your conscious attention back to your physical body.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes.

The best Ho'oponopono meditation on Insight Timer so far. The dialogues are perfect, and I wish there were more. Your voice is spectacular; I literally fell in love with it. Only drawback is the dialogues are a little hasty. If you do it more patiently it will be the prefectest meditation ever.
