Phrases: 

many years ago I read a book titled Zero Limits by author Joe Vitale and it's subject was on the Hawaiian art of forgiveness and reconciliation called Ho'oponopono. This was originally a traditional shamanic practiced performed by a spiritual leader, called a Kahuna, and members of a family or community that were at odds with each other. It involves four phrases that are repeated in an act of cleansing psychic and emotional wounds and can be a very profound act of forgiveness.

here are the four phrases:

I love you

I'm sorry

Please forgive me

Thank you

done faithfully, with clear intent, it's a powerful cleansing agent for anger and resentment, freeing the practitioner from the harmful effects of their projections. I'm often asked if it truly works, and do I actually believe that the use of these four phrases can actually bring about a change of heart, behavior, and even some outer circumstances of my life.

and my honest answer is...

I don't know.

it doesn't really matter though, as I have little interest in the esoteric principles of any healing method. My only concern is the value of its practice. For me, it's a tool, a means of practicing forgiveness in a concrete way that brings it instantly into my heart-center, being a theme that plays gently though my mind in very meaningful way. So the four phrases have become a useful tool in the practicality of forgiveness, similar to Lesson 46 from A Course in Miracles: 

God is the love in which I forgive.

it's another phrase, cleansing in it's heart-felt practice.

but it's the end result that matters.

and here's the thing, it's the heart that cleanses itself, words are simply a performance, rituals of remembrance. In the end, there's only forgiveness. It happens entirely on it's own. Words themselves are just reminders that this is so. 

we are already, 

and always,

forgiven.
