Ho'oponopono and the Law of Attraction: Healing the Subconscious for Abundance

“I Am Sorry. Please Forgive Me. Thank You. I Love You.”

These four phrases, simple and sacred, are the heartbeat of Ho’oponopono—an ancient Hawaiian practice for deep inner healing. What many don’t realize is that this beautiful tradition also mirrors the very mechanics of manifestation, the Law of Attraction, and the subconscious mind.

In this post, we’re diving deep into how Ho’oponopono clears inner resistance, uplifts your vibration, and opens the floodgates of abundance. Along the way, I’ll share my personal journey with this sacred practice—and give a loving shoutout to the Brazilian teacher whose work changed my life: Beth Russo.

My Personal Experience with Ho’oponopono

I’ve tried countless tools on the path of manifestation, but nothing shifted my frequency quite like Ho’oponopono.

The first time I practiced it sincerely, I felt something unexplainable lift off me—like emotional debris I didn’t even know I was carrying. The air around me felt clearer. I felt lighter, freer, and more aligned with life itself. It was as if the Universe said, “Welcome back.”

And if you’ve ever seen the radiant energy of Beth Russo, the Brazilian Ho’oponopono teacher, you’ll know what I mean. She exudes the very vibration this practice cultivates: joy, humility, and flow. Obrigado, Beth—you are a blessing.

What is Ho’oponopono? A Hawaiian Art of Reconciliation

The word Ho’oponopono translates roughly to “to make right” or “to set things in order.” In traditional Hawaiian culture, it was a community practice—a sacred ceremony used to restore harmony within families, guided by a kahuna or elder.

Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len and author Joe Vitale helped bring this ancient wisdom into modern consciousness, especially through the viral story of Dr. Len “healing” a ward of criminally insane patients simply by repeating the Ho’oponopono phrases to himself while looking at their files.

The core idea? We are 100% responsible for what shows up in our lives. Everything we experience is a projection from within.

Sound familiar?

That’s the Law of Attraction in its purest form.

How Ho’oponopono Heals the Subconscious Mind

We talk about reprogramming the subconscious mind in manifestation work all the time. But what if your subconscious is still carrying energetic residue—old memories, shame, guilt, anger?

Ho’oponopono addresses this directly. The four phrases act as a kind of spiritual solvent, dissolving the emotional charge and clearing “data” that no longer serves you.

The phrases:

• I’m sorry — acknowledges that something out of alignment exists within your field.
• Please forgive me — releases judgment and opens space for transformation.
• Thank you — signals receptivity, integration, and higher awareness.
• I love you — the ultimate vibration of unity and divine flow.

When said with feeling, these words neutralize energetic blocks in the subconscious. This opens your system to receive what you've been trying to manifest all along.

Why This Works with the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction responds to vibration, not words alone. And your vibration is largely shaped by your subconscious. If your subconscious is filled with old traumas, limiting beliefs, or shameful memories, your energy is broadcasting conflict—even if you're visualizing your dream life every morning.

Ho’oponopono clears the signal.
You become congruent. You become clean. You become magnetic.

This practice brings you back to a state of inner coherence. And when your inner world is harmonious, your outer world follows.

Beth Russo and the Modern Ho’oponopono Movement

One of the most radiant modern voices sharing Ho’oponopono is Beth Russo, a Brazilian teacher whose teachings blend joy, clarity, and deep spiritual grounding. Her videos and courses have helped thousands release pain, attract love, and call in abundance—all through this deceptively simple practice.

If you’re curious where to start, I highly recommend checking out her meditations. She’s a light in the world and a beautiful example of the power of this practice when embodied fully.

Ho’oponopono as a Manifestation Amplifier

Let’s break this down clearly. Here’s how Ho’oponopono supports the three pillars of manifestation:

1. The Law of Attraction

• Clears negative vibrational patterns.
• Replaces resistance with peace and receptivity.
• Aligns your energy with love—the ultimate magnet.

2. Subconscious Mind Programming

• Heals old memories without needing to revisit the trauma.
• Neutralizes shame, guilt, and fear.
• Programs the subconscious with high-vibration frequencies.

3. Embodied Manifestation

• Makes room for intuition and inspired action.
• Strengthens your connection to divine intelligence.
• Allows you to manifest from a state of flow, not force.

The Spiritual Science Behind It

While Ho’oponopono isn’t framed in scientific terms, it works on principles mirrored by quantum physics, neuroscience, and energy psychology.

Just like Dr. Joe Dispenza teaches, your brain is always firing and wiring new patterns based on where your attention goes. When you repeat “I love you, I’m sorry…” with sincerity, you are rewiring your neural pathways and broadcasting a new field.

This is what creates the energetic signature of abundance. You become a vibrational match for your highest desires.

Final Thought: It’s Not Just About Saying the Words

The key to Ho’oponopono is presence. The phrases work when you feel them. When you let them soften your ego, dissolve your resistance, and return you to your divine self.

Pair this with your manifestation work—your visualizations, affirmations, journaling—and you’ll notice a shift. Not just in results, but in how you feel.

You’ll feel lighter. Brighter. More in love with life.

And that, my love, is what makes you magnetic.
