    Ho'oponopono is a Hawaiian reconciliation practice centered on forgiveness, gratitude, and taking responsibility for one’s own contribution to conflict or suffering. Traditional forms involve a facilitated family dialogue; modern adaptations use a four-phrase meditation — "I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you." Benefits are reported in clinical and practitioner accounts; no controlled trials exist.
