Hooponopono

I have tried using hooponopono by repeating the words I love you,im sorry, please forgive me, thank you over and over in my head when I have had some negative experience or emotion I want to resolve and despite my efforts I never feel anything happen.The feeling never subsides into peace and I don’t feel any shifts take place like others describe.I have repeated the mantra for a whole week straight before and felt nothing.What am I doing wrong?

Are you saying "ho o pono pono?" Or is it more like "ha apa napano?"
