In the Hawaiian Dictionary, ho'oponopono is defined as "spiritual cleansing, a family gathering, during which relationships are restored through prayers, the act of contrition, repentance and mutual forgiveness. "
The word hoʻoponopono is composed of hoʻo which means "to begin an action" and pono which means "goodness, honesty, morality, moral qualities, correct and just actions, excellence, prosperity, attention, usefulness, natural state, duty, just, equitable, right, appropriate, relaxed, relieved, should, would, must, necessary ; "ponopono means "to set right; right, rework, harmonize, correct, regularize, order, clean, tidy, act right.

This practice was ordered whenever discord appeared within a family or within the same tribe/village. Indeed, according to Polynesian folklore, illness is born and nurtured by anger and unforgiveness. In order to avoid bad luck or to heal a sick person, ho'oponopono was practiced by all: the sick person himself and/or all concerned members. Once under the direction of a traditional priest or doctor and then under the order of a traditional judge, this ancestral methodwas adapted to be practiced independently.
Ho'oponopono: in practice
"Sorry, sorry, thank you, I love you". Each of these words must make sense to you. Each of these words should resonate within you as a gentle and caring song. These terms are not insignificant.

First Ho'oponopono principle:sorry.e
When you say "I'm sorry", you are addressing that part of yourself that is suffering. You tell her that you are sorry for inflicting this pain on her. You acknowledge your responsibility in the way you emotionally handle this or that event which is, objectively speaking, quite neutral.
Second Ho'oponopono principle:Pardon
You forgive yourself for making yourself "sick", for getting "bad blood". You forgive yourself for allowing yourself to be invaded by fears that surely do not belong to you or that are the projection of the fears of others.
You also forgive the Other who, in the end, is also in pain or fed by his fears.
Forgiveness is the greatest liberation. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting. It allows you to move on, to move forward and to rebuild yourself. Holding on to grudges is not a healthy solution; it can, according to Hawaiian tradition (and not only), lead you to illness.
Third Ho'oponopono principle: thank you.
Thank you to the event, however painful or uncomfortable it may be, because thanks to it, you were able to put your finger on an unhealed wound and thus work on it for your liberation. As they say, "it's a blessing in disguise".
Thank you for finally taking care of yourself, for releasing some of your limiting beliefs.
This "thank you" is also a mark of recognition, a form of gratitude towards Life.
