Ho'oponopono Prayer

Anyone that has experienced the Ho'oponopono prayer, knows it can be quite an emotional practise, yet deeply satisfying. Every time you sit it is an opportunity to work directly with difficult thoughts, bringing compassion and forgiveness... this forgiveness can be far-reaching if anyone has researched the background of the prayer. We have included some square breathing to help with the more emotional prayers.

There are about 5 minutes of lead in chat about the practice.

Enjoy and big love.

This is the Ho'oponopono prayer. It's a meditation that we do to take responsibility for some of the thoughts that arise or has arisen over the course of your life for a lot of the people that maybe you cared about, Loved, Parents and friends, But also for those that haven't. Taking that 100% responsibility of being accountable, Seeing those thoughts as an opportunity now to let go of any of the resonance that's held onto when we thought in that way about someone. So getting yourself comfortable, Whether you want to sit or lie down for this practice. Bringing all that awareness into the body. Noticing those physical sensations. Noticing your posture, If you're sitting. Leave your posture as you're lying down. Allowing yourself just to rest comfortably into it. Soften your jaw, Tongue and shoulders. Soften all the muscles in your face and your neck. Allowing the body to relax, The arms, The hands. Allowing the legs to relax. Just allowing yourself to be here. Be here right in this moment. And even if we're not feeling relaxed, Bring a bit of acceptance to that. Noticing that it's okay to not be perfectly relaxed. The relaxation process will continue on during this practice without any real effort done by you. So as relaxing in to the body. See from that place of calmness, Of stillness. You can bring some awareness onto the sensations of your breath. Just noticing that flowing in and flowing out. Trying to change it. Just rest into that moment and breath is there effortlessly. And throughout this practice if you get distracted by thoughts or have any sort of sense of overwhelming emotions as they arise. As sometimes you do when you ask people for forgiveness and love. Just returning back to that kind breath. Allow that moment to settle. So just continuing just to notice the sensations of breath. There's nothing to do really. We just rest and breath is there. So now with the breath. What I'd like you to do is breathe almost in a square. So now as we're breathing. What I'd like you to do is breathe as a square.
