Sleep: Ho’oponono (Directed Towards Self)

As the soft hush of rain falls around you, and distant choirs whisper like a lullaby, you’re invited into a moment of quiet self-reconnection.
This soundscape is designed to calm the body and open the heart — inviting sleep, softness, and self-compassion.

Tonight, we turn the practice of Ho’oponopono inward. These four sacred phrases: “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” Let these become a gentle offering to your inner world.

Used consistently, this practice can soothe the nervous system, ease emotional tension, and help restore a sense of peace within.
So as your conscious mind begins to drift, let your subconscious receive the beauty of these words. No need to try. Just listen… Breathe…

And let the healing begin. You are safe. You are held. You are coming home to yourself.

Ho'oponopono for self. Welcome to this practice, My name is Ruben. As you settle into rest tonight, You're invited into a quiet, Powerful practice of self-healing, An ancient Hawaiian tradition known as Ho'oponopono. This means to make things right, To restore harmony. While often spoken towards others, This sacred practice is equally and perhaps even more profoundly healing when offered inwardly. To the parts of you still aching, To memories long held, To activations from long ago, To your body, Your mind, Your younger self. As cellular biologist Bruce Lipton reminds us, When we are drifting into sleep, The subconscious becomes most receptive. This is the perfect moment to rewire old beliefs into new ones, And to offer loving truth to yourself and the world. Ho'oponopono is based on four simple phrases, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you and I love you. These four simple phrases can gently cleanse our inner space, Our inner world. Not through force, But through gentleness as you drift away. So tonight, Let this be a conversation for you, From you, With you. Let this be a way of coming home to yourself as you drift away, Feeling the bed beneath you, Your body, The parts of your body melting into where they make contact with where they are resting, Feeling the gentle pull from gravity and the comfort that surrounds you. I am here for me right now, I choose to let these four simple phrases wash through my body and soul, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you. I'm sorry, Not from shame, But from awareness and compassion. I'm sorry for the times I didn't listen to what I needed. I'm sorry I pushed through when I was hurting. I'm sorry for the harshness my mind has spoken to me. I'm sorry for judging myself so quickly, So often. Let the breath deepen as the body continues to absorb these words. I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you. Please forgive me, This is not about perfection, It's about permission to soften. Please forgive me for the times I abandoned myself. Please forgive me, Dear body, For how I've treated you. Please forgive me for rushing past my feelings. Please forgive me for forgetting how worthy I actually am. Nothing needs to be forced, Just let the words settle, Like gentle rain. I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you, Thank you. Gratitude begins to unstick what has been stuck. Thank you for surviving what you did. Thank you for showing up again and again. Thank you for the resilience, Even when I didn't give myself credit for this. Thank you for still being here, Willing to heal. Allowing gratitude to ripple softly throughout your body. I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you. I love you. Not just a phrase, But a balm. I love the part of me that tells me it's broken when I know it is not. I love the child within me still learning to trust. I love this breath, This body, This being. I love the quiet strength that lives beneath everything. Let your body receive these words like a lullaby. Let your breath become slower, Softer as your nervous system soothes. There is nothing more you need to do. These words will continue their quiet work, Healing, Reconnecting, Restoring, Even as you sleep. You are safe now, You are worthy, You are healing. I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you. I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you.

Reviews

This is a very nice meditative rendition of the Ho Opono pono; first of all because it is self oriented, where forgiveness actually happens. Secondly, it’s a nice adaptation for doing it into sleep, in the knowledge that Bruce Lipton in has taught us amongst his wonderful presentations and teachings. Thank you, Reuben🙏🏻🕊️

Thank you 🙏 Reuben! This extended version for sleep is great 👍, just what I needed ❤️😽

Listened to this after you talking about it in your live.
Forgiving ourselves for making the same slip ups can be hard and a glimmer of guilt remains with me
. I am so aware when I silently go along with somebody saying something I don’t agree with and don’t speak up, because I don’t want to rock the boat. I don’t like that me and I am sorry. I feel like a coward and defiled. I know I need to forgive myself and I need to think of strategies to become more authentic.
I will try listening to this more and hope to absorb its profound message.
Thank you Reuben
🙏

One of my favorite meditations. Beautiful, sacred message of loving and forgiving yourself. I’ve listened to this a few times, and have already noticed a shift of loving compassion towards myself. Thank you. ❤️
