					<description><![CDATA[This is an ancient Hawaiian prayer for reconciliation and forgiveness. Hoâ€™oponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) translates to â€œCorrectionâ€. Recite seven times (or throughout your day). Direct it to your own heart, people, and situations that need to be aligned with Love. The Hoâ€™oponopono Prayer Iâ€™m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.]]></description>
