You may come across the claim that mentally ill prisoners were healed in prison with Ho’oponopono. No source is given for it here, so treat it as an unverified story rather than a finding.
Hoʻoponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) is described as an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Similar forgiveness practices were performed on islands throughout the South Pacific, including Samoa, Tahiti, and New Zealand. Traditionally hoʻoponopono is practiced by healing priests or kahuna lapaʻau among family members of a person who is physically ill. Modern versions are performed within the family by a family elder, or by the individual alone.
You might use this prayer ritual daily as a way of release and cleansing: forgiving, letting go, apologizing, moving on, and saying the mantra out loud with the recording. Practitioners describe Ho’oponopono as a way to heal ourselves, with a ripple effect that can reach others too.
How do you practice Ho’oponopono? One modern version describes three steps: recognizing that whatever comes to you is your creation, the outcome of bad memories buried in your mind; regretting whatever errors of body, speech, and mind caused those bad memories; and requesting Divine Intelligence within yourself to release those memories and set you free. Then you say thank you.
This Ho’oponopono Hawaiian Prayer also has theta binaural beats embedded in the recording, intended to support relaxation, and it brings you back to waking life at the end.
The recording is by Jason Stephenson (Guided Sleep Meditation on YouTube). The effects described on this page, from the prayer and from the binaural beats, are the creator’s claims and practitioners’ experience, not established research findings. This meditation complements professional medical or mental health care and is not a substitute for it; the creator’s video notes say the same.
