Why Do We Chant It?
So now that we know how and when to use this divine prayer, let’s examine why this is useful.
The purpose behind Ho’oponopono is to forgive others which are connected to us. We rid ourselves of their toxic energy and are able to move again freely in this world in a place of love, connection and positive light. Often it feels like a renewed connection where harmony is restored between both parties.
In some ways, Ho’oponopono is the perfect way to forgive someone without ever talking to them. We know that such confrontations can be awkward, so yes, you can certainly forgive someone without needing to talk to them.
Ho’oponopono is quite effective at not just forgiveness but also reducing our stress. Often we’ll have an improved mental outlook and harmony in our relationships between others, including those who have caused us no pain.
There is so much to gain and so little to lose. Ho’oponopono is a free prayer that is available to each and every single one of us with several studies showing a greater insight into this divine power.
