Ho’oponopono is a sacred Hawaiian healing practice rooted in the belief that healing begins within. Traditionally used by families and communities to resolve conflict, its essence lies in restoring harmony by taking full responsibility for one’s inner world. In modern practice, Ho’oponopono has evolved into a deeply personal and spiritual ritual of forgiveness, cleansing, and transformation.At the heart of Ho’oponopono are four simple, powerful phrases:I’m sorry.Please forgive me.Thank you.I love you.These words are not about assigning blame or seeking external validation. Instead, they are a form of energetic purification—addressed to yourself, a loved one, a memory, or the divine—meant to dissolve emotional residue, release subconscious patterns, and invite inner peace.This meditation is an offering.A moment to return to your heart.To meet yourself or another with compassion.To clear the path for healing and reconnection—cell by cell, breath by breath.You don’t have to understand it all.Just repeat the words.Let the medicine work through you.Sponsors:$27 Hypnobirthing Mini-Course & Self-Hypnosis Program: https://vero-vixi.myflodesk.com/Amazon Birth, Postpartum, & Metaphysical Books & Resources: https://jwww.amazon.com/shop/samanthamarvelsWild Holistic Herbal Tinctures: https://wildwholistic.com/ Code: HARMONYWith Aloha,Samantha

Welcome to Episode 1: Planning a Sovereign Birth—Why it Matters & How it Affects a Woman’s Relationships. 
As a birth doula who’s witnessed over 100 births - and a hypnotherapist who’s walked many women through healing birthing trauma - my intention is to uplift women while reclaiming the sacred wisdom we’ve lost. 
Today, I’ll define what it means to birth sovereignly—where informed, autonomous choices guide the experience—and explore why that matters not only for birth outcomes, but for a woman’s self-trust, partnership, and transition into motherhood. This isn’t about dogma—it’s about power, preparation, and healing.
