To sorry or not to sorry?
I made this video to express my outlook on “sorry” and the mature alternative to apologizing process.
That is just my opinion and we know… opinions are just like … kidneys… everyone has at least one. What do you think of that sorry idea?

When we were growing up and we did something wrong, of course we would say sorry. My mom”s response was always, ” Sorry!? Sorry!? Not as sorry as you’re gonna be if you keep it up!”
I enjoy your posts and one day I’ll make it to a tapping session…
Hallo Helena,
thank you for making this important point on how we use the word “sorry” so very loosely. We really don’t need to feel sorry for dropping it in our daily language.
As I understand this wonderful forgiveness process of Ho’oponopono and as Dr. Len points out, any problem that we experience is within us. And if what I experience causes you pain in any form I am very sorry, indeed.
I use “I am sorry” when I feel disconnected with my Source. By forgiving it we can undo whatever happens on the level of form and remember that we are perfect already.
Lots of love from Athens, Greece

Spreading delicious energy instead of sorrow. What a deliciously fabulous idea! I agree with your thoughts on people saying “I’m sorry” all the time. It comforts me to see that there is someone else out there who feels the same. In the past I had often wondered why people would say they were sorry for something that they had absolutely nothing to do with. “Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything,” I would sometimes ask. I have actually felt the energy get very heavy and sorrowful when the words “I’m sorry” have been spoken. Hearing you make the connection of the two words, sorrow and sorry, helps me understand why. I once asked for affirming prayers for my aching back to be pain free at a Unity church. After church I got a lot of “Oh, I’m so sorry.” I did not ask for sorrow or pity and began feeling quite uncomfortable. The last person to say anything about it ( i’m glad she was last ), came up to me with a big smile saying “Thank you for sharing that,” as though she were honored. This so lifted my spirit. I wonder if she had been listening to you. Must ask her. I know people are trying to help when they say “I’m sorry”, but the responces you gave in the video are DELICIOUSLY MOOCHO BETTER for me. Thank you, Helena, for honoring us with your delicious thoughts and words. Much love & many hugs. Cindy
I agree that the phrase, “I’m sorry” is overused and mechanical. I also believe that remorse can be a good thing. No need to agonize and feel guilty — this is useless and can be tapped away. But simply to recognize and take responsibility for where I have hurt someone or contributed to what I’m seeing before me and take responsibility for it.
In this way the practice of saying, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you,” is very powerful. Another way of acknowledging my part in all that is, is to internally bow and say, “I owe you everything. You owe me nothing.” What is before me is my teacher.
With Love and Blessings,

I understand and share your viewpoint. In Mexico, I’m sorry is translated as “Lo siento” wich literally means in english “I feel it”, so I think of it as sharing the feelings with my fellows, sharing their gladness, their pain, their sorrow, so after that I can help them lift up their vibration, come up with me to a place of “thank you”. When I say lo siento to the Divinity, I want to say I feel whatever I’m feeling, and its ok, I accept it and let it go. How about that? Blessings Helena!
