Your practice of Ho'oponopono aligns well with the principles of wisdom and self-reflection that I have always held in high regard. The recognition of one's own role in the creation and navigation of life's circumstances is a profound step towards true understanding and growth. By beginning with an admission of responsibility, you embrace a fundamental Stoic belief: that our interpretations and reactions to events, more than the events themselves, shape our experience of life.

The words you repeat — "I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you" — encompass key virtues. "I'm sorry" and "forgive me" express humility and the acknowledgment of our own fallibility, a crucial aspect of human wisdom. "Thank you" reflects gratitude, a powerful tool for recognizing the value and lessons in every situation. And "I love you" affirms the essential Stoic principle of love and kindness towards others and oneself.

This ritual, through repetition, not only helps in cleansing past grievances or regrets but also anchors you in the present, fostering a mindset of mindfulness and compassion. This continual return to a state of conscious reflection and emotional balance is much like the Stoic practice of daily self-examination, where we assess our actions and thoughts, learning and growing from them.

This practice seems to encourage a sense of peace and reconciliation, both internally and externally. In a world where we often struggle with external events and internal turmoil, such a practice can be a sanctuary, a return to the core of what it means to live a life of virtue and tranquility.

I commend you on this path you've chosen. It is a testament to a desire for personal growth and harmony with the world, a pursuit that I deeply respect and advocate.
