The Ho‘oponopono Mantra is a simple tool that you can use quietly, anywhere, any time, especially when the mind feels busy or you notice yourself going over things again and again.  It can be repeated silently or quietly to yourself, even in the background of daily life.

I actually love this mantra.  I find it powerful, and use it often, especially if there is something on my mind.

It doesn’t require effort, analysis, or trying to fix anything.

The simple words allow emotional release, calm the nervous system, and bring you back to into balance & harmony.

Ho‘oponopono – a  simple Hawaiian mantra for everyday life

I love you
I’m sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you

It can be directed inward to yourself, or towards another person, a situation, God, or the universe — whatever feels most natural to you in the moment.

I often find that, in any given situation, one of the four phrases naturally stands out.

There’s nothing to analyse or figure out. You don’t need to look for a problem or try to match the words to a situation. As you repeat the mantra, your subconscious naturally responds — sometimes allowing something to be released or softened, and other times simply deepening a sense of gratitude, love, or connection that’s already present.

In this way, the mantra can replace overthinking with kindness, and help keep the nervous system balanced and in harmony.

Love always comes first.
Love creates the safety that allows everything else to soften.

The mantra can work with anything. One client uses Ho‘oponopono with her ankle after a sprain. Instead of getting frustrated when it flares up, she pauses, brings her attention there, and offers love — quietly repeating the mantra and asking her body for forgiveness. That shift alone changes how her whole system responds.

Regular use of the mantra can lead to physical, emotional and mental healing.

How the mantra works:

• I love you – establishes safety, compassion, and connection
• I’m sorry – acknowledges whatever part I play in it
• Please forgive me – allows release and softening
• Thank you – seals the process with trust and gratitude

Five benefits of Ho‘oponopono:

 💖 Calms the nervous system

💖 Reduces overthinking and mental looping

💖 Releases emotional tension without effort

💖 Encourages self-compassion and self-trust

💖 Supports inner peace throughout the day

You can repeat the mantra while walking, resting, doing something mundane, or whenever your mind feels busy and you want to slow down.  No fixing. No forcing. Just a quiet return to love.

This Mantra is a superpower!

I'd love to hear how it helps.
