The Ho’oponopono prayer has been my mantra this past year. Like many of you, I am working on self compassion and responsibility for my own peace. It’s a beautiful practice that I hope you find helpful. Cheers to an amazing and peaceful 2026!

The Ho'oponopono prayer is a powerful Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness centered on repeating four simple phrases: "I'm sorry, Please forgive me, Thank you, I love you" to cleanse negative memories, take responsibility, and restore harmony within oneself and with others. It's a self-healing mantra used to clear emotional blocks and promote self-compassion by expressing repentance, asking for release, showing gratitude, and sending love to oneself, others, or a situation.
The Four Phrases & Their Meaning
"I'm sorry": Acknowledges your part in creating any negative situation or feeling, taking responsibility.
"Please forgive me": Expresses remorse and releases guilt or blame.
"Thank you": Shows gratitude for the experience as an opportunity for growth.
"I love you": Sends love and acceptance to yourself and the situation, transmuting negative energy.
How to Practice
Identify a problem: Notice a negative feeling, person, or situation that troubles you.
Repeat the mantra: Silently or aloud, repeat the four phrases in any order (though often sequential).
Feel the words: Focus on the meaning behind each phrase to connect with the intention.
Be consistent: Repeat the mantra as needed for healing, even playing it in the background.

Your body is always listening. Every prediction, every complaint, every gratitude- it takes your words and makes every effort to make it come true. Your cells literally respond to the way you speak to yourself. Your mind speaks and your body responds. What do you want to say?

Parent/child estrangement has become increasingly more prevalent and it is such a complicated topic. It seems the general consensus is that the parent MUST be the party to blame and often, that is true. What if we looked at everything that contributes to estrangement and tried to understand the complexities. I think this therapist has some objective ideas about considering the problem holistically which better allows for understanding. We all play our part but I believe that ultimately, love can conquer all🩷🩷
