The Law of Attraction teaches us that we attract what we focus on. Ho’oponopono, a Hawaiian practice of forgiveness and emotional cleansing, teaches us to heal what lies within. At first glance, these two ideas may seem different but what if they’re actually powerful partners in transformation?

In this post, we’ll explore how Ho’oponopono and the Law of Attraction can work together to help you manifest your desires while healing your emotional and energetic blocks.

What Is the Law of Attraction?

The Law of Attraction (LOA) is the belief that like attracts like – your thoughts, feelings, and energy attract similar experiences into your life.

If you focus on abundance, joy, and love, you’re more likely to experience those things.
If you’re constantly dwelling on lack, fear, or resentment, you may find more of that showing up.

The key principles include:

Thoughts become things

Feelings amplify attraction

Belief shapes reality

But here’s the challenge: most of us carry unconscious limiting beliefs and emotional blocks that contradict our conscious desires.

That’s where Ho’oponopono enters.

What Is Ho’oponopono?

Ho’oponopono  is an ancient Hawaiian practice focused on cleansing internal memory, emotion, and energy. The modern version centers around four phrases:

> “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

These phrases are used to take 100% responsibility for what’s showing up in your life even the unwanted and to clear unconscious patterns that might be blocking your manifestations.

How They Complement Each Other

1. LOA focuses on conscious creation. Ho’oponopono heals the unconscious.

LOA teaches you to visualize, affirm, and believe in your dreams.

Ho’oponopono clears what’s beneath the surface – the doubts, fears, and inherited beliefs that may be sabotaging those dreams.

2. Together, they align your energy more fully.

You might consciously say: “I want abundance.”

But if your inner script says: “I don’t deserve it,” that message wins.

Ho’oponopono clears the negative script.
LOA amplifies your positive intentions.

3. Both practices are rooted in responsibility and inner alignment.

LOA says: “You create your reality.”

Ho’oponopono says: “You are responsible for what shows up.”

This isn’t about blame – it’s about empowerment. You become a co-creator of your life by cleaning the “data” (old memories, beliefs) within.

Using Them Together: A Simple Practice

Try this 2-step method each morning:

Step 1: Cleanse with Ho’oponopono

Sit quietly and repeat:

> “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

Focus on any resistance, doubt, or negative emotion that’s present.

Repeat for 5–10 minutes.

Step 2: Align with the Law of Attraction

Visualize your goal or desire—something specific that you want to manifest.

Feel the emotion of already having it: joy, peace, abundance, love.

Affirm it:

> “I am attracting joy and abundance effortlessly.”

Example: Manifesting Abundance

Let’s say you want to attract financial abundance, but you feel unworthy or guilty around money.

Start by cleansing that guilt with Ho’oponopono.

Say: “I’m sorry for the thoughts and beliefs that I’ve carried about money. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”

Then visualize your abundant life, and affirm your worthiness to receive.

Over time, you’ll notice shifts not just externally, but deep within yourself.

Final Thoughts: The Power of Inner & Outer Alignment

The Law of Attraction and Ho’oponopono don’t contradict – they complete each other.

LOA helps you plant seeds of desire.

Ho’oponopono clears the weeds of old beliefs.

Together, they create fertile ground for genuine transformation.

So, if you’ve been using affirmations or vision boards with limited results, consider adding Ho’oponopono to your practice.
Sometimes, the key to attracting what you want is healing what you didn’t know was holding you back.

“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
Your new mantra for both healing and manifesting.
