Gosh I love the ho’oponopono prayer. It just got me through a very rocky morning. I use it when I am having a conflict with someone and I am feeling heartbroken. I said it for myself for a long time this morning, trying to let go of guilt and codependency. You know that feeling that someone else’s pain was my fault because I had to set a very needful and reasonable boundary for myself.
And then I said it for the other person who is hurting and feeling my boundary as a lack of love, which it isn’t. But I totally understand why they should feel it so. So we are both heart broken and yet underneath that is a deep mutual love, a few life times worth.
My heart felt a lot better after sending this forgiveness prayer to them. And to myself for being imperfect and tender hearted.
Then I did a few rounds for the world, just cuz- the world is all broken hearted today too. After a while, I came back to my normal state of optimism, faith and love. My heart feels all smashed open, humpty dumpty style. But that is how the love gets out, right?
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.
