Ever wondered how four simple phrases can transform your life's emotional landscape? 

This episode we will explore the ancient Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono, a method for reconciliation and forgiveness that speaks directly to the subconscious mind. Through the story of Dr. Hew Len's remarkable success in a psychiatric ward, we uncover how saying "I love you," "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," and "Thank you" can act as powerful cleansing tools to break down negative patterns and traumas. This episode offers a deep dive into the ways this practice can improve personal relationships and elevate your quality of life.

I share my own heartfelt journey, recounting the profound shifts I experienced by consistently using Ho'oponopono during challenging times.

We encourage our community to come together, sharing stories and insights that foster growth and support.
