I had been going through one of the most difficult things/ situations I have ever been in in my life. It involves other people and the whole thing was making me angry and scared. My anger and fear were so strong that it was causing me to lash out towards another person involved in the situation when that’s not what I want to be doing at all. This situation needs LOVE, and that’s what I wanted to express. I would try but then the person would say something or do something and I would just go off the rails.
Now, if you know me, you know it takes A LOT to get me to the point where I lose my cool. Seriously, those times are few and far between.
I had been asking and praying for help with healing my fear and anger in this situation because to me, when I show up with or express my anger and fear, it is only spreading more of that. I want to show up with my love and spread that, because again, that’s what the situation really needs.
One morning I remembered the Ho’oponopono prayer. I have known this prayer for a few years and even share it in the work I do, but for some reason I didn’t think to try it myself (FACEPALM).
RIght then, I stopped what I was doing and closed my eyes. I imagined the other person in front of me and said the prayer to them, wholeheartedly.
I’M SORRY
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
THANK YOU
I LOVE YOU
I said it like 5+ times (I don’t remember exactly how many) to them, THEN, I said it to myself.
I’M SORRY
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
THANK YOU
I LOVE YOU
Same thing, I said it like 5+ times to myself. I had to do this because I was getting on to myself for being such a jerk when I knew better. I deserved to forgive myself. THEN, I said it to everyone involved in the situation because I wanted to stop the cycle of fear and anger (I wasn’t the only one feeling the way I felt about what was going on).
I’M SORRY
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
THANK YOU
I LOVE YOU
I did this 3 times that day and by the evening when I spoke to that other person I was at total peace. It was a MIRACLE!!!!!!!!
I continued doing the prayer and practice for the next few days, and I continue to this day (because we are still in the situation), the only difference is I only do it once a day now unless I feel my anger and fear creeping in, then I’ll do it more.
This is something YOU can begin practicing RIGHT NOW too. I truly believe if you are going through something difficult and are feeling lots of fear and anger towards someone else, this prayer will help you through it.
I suggest when you do the prayer to do it at a time when you are clear headed and calm. Feel LOVE in your heart then say the prayer so it will infuse the prayer with that Love.
