How to use the 4 phrases of Ho'oponopono?

The main most frequently asked questions are "how should I use these 4 sentences?" or "in what order should I say them?"

We will clarify that here.

The first thing to do is to work in conscience, it is essential for the method to be effective.

What is it about.

1) We encounter a problem, an event, for example a collision in the car or an altercation with our manager, etc. ... (the list is endless), and this triggers a big emotion in us.

We saw in the previous chapter (The Hawaiian principles of Ho'oponopono) that it is in fact a memory, a small malicious program, lodged in our subconscious, which has just started automaticallywithout our noticing and causing us trouble. It is logical since it is sub-conscious!

2) The emotion generated by the event allows us to become aware of what is happening. As it is an unpleasant emotion we want to make it disappear.

3) We therefore address ourselves to our subconscious, our inner child, our Unihipili and we say to it (internally, it is more discreet, especially if we are not alone):
"My Unihipili (that's the term I use but you can take another),I'm sorry to have accumulated in you the memory that created this emotion (of fear, anger, jealousy etc. ... If you can't identify it, don't do it, it doesn't matter). Please forgive me. Transmit this memory to our Aumakua (or supra-conscious, or guide, or guardian angel or father) so that he hands it over to the Divine and transmutes it into perfect light.I thank you. I like you."

These 4 sentences can be summed up in "I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you" but, in my opinion, it is fundamental to know what we are doing, who we are talking to and why. I therefore advise you, at the beginning, to say the 4 complete sentences in order to immerse yourself in the meaning and the approach.

Subsequently, when you know the 4 complete sentences by heart and you have acquired the automatism of reciting them at each event, you can move on to the 4 summarized sentences. You will then realize that they are very practical and that you can use them more easily and more frequently.

This is when you can step up a gear and use"I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you"at the slightest opportunity, the slightest embarrassing emotion. It is from this moment  your big clean-up job is starting and things are going to speed up.

In addition, you may find that another order of the 4 sentences or another formulation seems more appropriate to you, don't be shy, make yourself at home (by the way, you're there!!!) use what suits you best. You've done your scales, now you can improvise.
