Ho’oponopono is based on the premise that we take 100% responsibility for everything that shows up in our lives. You read it right, everything.

You are probably thinking to yourself, you mean I’m responsible for all the children that are starving in the world? and what about all the wars, the crimes and conflicts that occur on a daily basis. You could probably come up with hundreds of examples.

Here’s another question that usually comes up – If I’m 100% responsible for everything, does that mean I have to fix it?

Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len explains it this way, “Have you noticed that whenever there’s a problem, you are always there?” He goes on to say that we didn’t directly do anything to harm anyone, but we are perceiving things as problems through our opinions and judgments.

We look at other people and think it’s THEY who ought to change, when we’re the constant factor in our misperceptions.

In Ho’oponopono, being 100% responsible does not mean being 100% at fault or bad. Instead, it means that we simply have the ability to respond in every situation. And we can choose our response. One path leads to overwhelm: trying to fix everything on our own.

Another path is to allow Divinity to help. In Ho’oponopono, this path is called “cleaning.” By using Ho’oponopono cleaning tools, we acknowledge that data or memories are running us and showing up as problems in our lives.

The 4 Ho’oponopono Cleaning phrases

We can say any or all of these phrases “I’m sorry, please forgive me (for being unconscious), thank you (for the opportunity to let go of this data now) and I love you.”

Some people may think that just using these four phrases “I’m sorry, please forgive me, I thank you and I love you, is too simple and easy and that it couldn’t possibly work to change their outer reality.

On the contrary when we give permission by using the above process, Divinity can work behind the scenes to transmute the faulty data to pure light. We can choose in every moment to use these tools to clean up our lives, or not do so.

This is how we take responsibility. It’s our choice. Do we want to struggle or do we want to become aware that this “problem” is an opportunity “to let go?”

Some long term problems may simply dissolve through using this process, and in other cases we may not notice any tangible changes taking place for some time. However the shifts are happening at another level that we aren’t aware of and when that’s cleared things will fall into place.

Would you rather try and fix things on your own, or allow Divinity to help?

• How did working on your own work out for you in the past?
• What if the “problem” is not what we think it is at all?

So ask yourself “Am I ready to let go of those things that are not serving me and discover a way that I can do that”? Declare your intention to the Universe by commenting below and sharing your thoughts.
