Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian process for resolving problems and releasing, not just "managing" stress. Its very name means "to make right, to correct and rectify errors" through repentance, forgiveness, and transmutation.
Ho'oponopono re-establishes correct balance between all aspects of the self, with all other beings through time, and with the environment as well.
Need for this kind of balance is echoed throughout many cultures, including the Navajo who speak of "hozho", or "walking in beauty". For them, there is no real health without balance between all parts of one's inner self, one's relationships with others, and the environment.
Since we're all dynamic, ever-changing beings, is it any wonder our balance is an ever-changing thing also? We're like mobiles, motion in one part setting off gyrations in all the rest. We need some kind of process to keep us graceful throughout.
With its simplicity and directness, Ho'oponopono offers a path to peace.
Jesus Christ referred to the Creator as Abwoon D'Bashmaya (the Aramaic word for Giver of Life). For those who may not know, Jesus spoke in Aramaic (not English). Patriarchs translating the Gospel decided that the word Giver of Life should be translated as Father. This of course is nonsensical since the Divine is Spirit and is neither a He or a She (John 4:24: Jesus speaking) "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.". If you enjoy the Lord's Prayer as much as I do you may find the original Aramaic version awe inspiring--if you are a devoted Christian you will be touched by the original words as spoken by Jesus. You can also hear the pronunciation of the original Aramaic Lord's Prayer.
