ABOUT THIS EPISODE
She's the Parent, So Why Am I the One Saying I'm Sorry? What Ho'oponopono Taught Me About Forgiveness
I resisted saying "I'm sorry, please forgive me" to my own mother for years, and that resistance turned out to be the doorway to the most powerful forgiveness tool I know.
Episode Description
If you're holding anger toward someone who hurt you, and the thought of apologizing to them makes you furious, this episode is for you. I share how I felt when I first practiced the Hawaiian prayer Ho'oponopono with my mother, from whom I've been estranged since I was 14.
I explain why I believe all forgiveness is self forgiveness, and how a simple four-line prayer gave me a way to work with my breath and emotions so the intensity could decrease. I'm also honest that I'm not completely free of this, and I share where I still struggle.
After the teaching, I guide you through a hypnosis journey down a spiral stone staircase, where you meet versions of yourself who are still bound and practice the prayer with them. Bring your full attention, and find a place where you can relax and receive.
