What Does Ho'oponopono, the Hawai'ian Phrase, Mean?

Aymar de Gunzburg

In a world undergoing immense hardship, we may only find reconciliation through, first...forgiveness. Kumu Sabra Kauka, Hawai'ian Historian, Educator & Activist speaks about the Hawai'ian tradition of Ho'oponopono, a communication concept/tool/ceremony for restoring balance. Ho'oponopono is a wisdom teaching that has gained popularity amongst travelers of all backgrounds who come to Hawai'i, as it may be implemented by all to resolve conflict, heal heavy hearts, and perhaps even transform relationships that are undergoing challenge...on an interpersonal, community-wide, family or spiritual level. It is our prayer that we humans can share ho'oponopono to heal our wounds and restore balance to our people, so we can show up in full service to our planet in this time of great need for change.
