🌺 Ho’oponopono; The Prayer That Heals Your Body, Mind, and Microbiome 🌺
A Sacred Hawaiian Practice for Forgiveness, Intestinal Health & Inner Peace.
At the heart of healing, both emotionally and physically is forgiveness. The ancient Hawaiian prayer Ho’oponopono is a simple, beautiful practice that clears emotional blocks, soothes the nervous system, and even supports your gut microbiome.
🙏 The 4-Line Prayer:
I’m sorry
Please forgive me
Thank you
I love you
You can say this to yourself, to your inner child, to your body, or to someone else, with or without words exchanged.
🙌 Why This Prayer Supports the Microbiome:
Your microbes respond to your inner state.
They thrive when your nervous system is calm, your heart is open, and you feel safe.
🔹 Reduces stress → Less cortisol = less leaky gut.
🔹 Activates the vagus nerve → Better digestion, motility, and immunity.
🔹 Promotes coherence between heart, brain, and Microbiome.
🔹 Shifts microbial expression from inflammation to regeneration.
When you say this prayer, especially with deep feeling and breath, you create a healing environment inside your body, an internal garden where friendly microbes can flourish.
💓 How to Add Vagal Toning to This Practice:
You can deepen the healing by combining the prayer with simple vagus nerve activation:
Try This Ritual:
- Sit quietly with eyes closed.
- Breathe slowly through your nose for 4 seconds
- Exhale with a gentle hum or audible sigh (activates the vagus nerve)
- With each breath, repeat one line of the prayer: “I’m sorry” (inhale) “Please forgive me” (exhale & hum) “Thank you” (inhale) “I love you” (exhale & hum). You may feel a gentle shift in your belly, your breath, even your heartbeat and this is your body moving into rest, repair, and microbial harmony.
🙌Closing Thought:
Forgiveness isn’t just for the mind, it’s medicine for the microbiome, the nervous system, and the soul.
Let Ho’oponopono become part of your daily microbiome ritual. 🙏
