One thing you should realize is that your emotions and your intentions are more important than the phrases. Your willingness for change is the key ingredient for this process to work. Doesn’t matter in which manner you repeat the phrase your intention should be:
“I am the creator of this reality. I accept it. I am ready to forgive, I am ready to release all these emotions without any judgments. Divine creator, I trust in you and I ask you to cleanse me and set me free ”
May people just repeat “Thank You, I love you….”. Many people only repeat “Thank you.. Thank you..”. Some prefer to repeat önly “I love you… I love you..”. So finally it’s all about your willingness, your intentions, and your emotions not about how you repeat the phrases.
But at the initial level it’s good to repeat all four phrases so that you can grab the whole meaning of hooponopono prayer: “I am sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you.”
You can follow this practice in the following ways:
- In the morning or evening, you can spare some time where you will sit quietly and repeat this mantra same like a meditation
- As this is a conscious process so you need to be aware during the day. Whenever something negative emotion or memory hits you, instead of going with it just repeat the mantra and cleanse it. Your ego will not allow you to release it so easily at the beginning but use your willingness to go beyond your ego and allow the divine to erase it.
- When we go to sleep most of the negative emotions from our day hits us. So use this time to cleanse. Repeat the mantra and fall asleep with it.
