Heal Yourself and Heal the World - Hooponopono

Hooponopono is an ancient Hawaiian method to easily, quickly, and effectively solve problems and resolve conflicts. In this volume you may find three parts: Introduction to the topic, a practical part and a spiritual overview.

Ho'oponopono refers originally to a clearly structured system to restore harmony in the family through a so-called "family conference". This concept of conflict resolution derives from the wish to live in harmony with oneself, other people, nature, and God. With this technique one's family, friends and acquaintances, co-workers, as well as the technique-applier him-/herself and even one's own surroundings are helped to return to their own inner, central equilibrium. One might say they are "healed". But the method itself has no direct healing purpose. It is, as you will see later, a way of cleansing oneself. The healing (of your heart, your relationships, your company, etc.) is merely a result of the ensuing harmony, peace, and clarity from application of this method.

Ho'o means to do, to cause, to drive forth, to take care of some-thing. Pono means correct, perfect, all right, harmonious, balanced, even. Ponopono is an amplification. It means to correct situations, to smooth things over, and to restore harmony and to reestablish the Divine in our hearts. Ho'oponopono is a spiritual process that can be interpreted as meaning a path towards completeness as well.

Many variations are possible, and since Ho'oponopono found its way into the West, it has been successfully utilized in many areas. Work with Ho'oponopono has proven to be ideal for advancing one's individual, professional, and spiritual development. You can see it as being a kind of therapeutical "seven-league boots", as proved by Dr. Len's work (see below). Others call it a "turbocharger" when ordering something from the universe. You can carry out conflict resolution alone or in a group – to strengthen team spirit, to define goals and motivation – and it is even good for starting or advancing one's own company or enterprise. For instance, it helps to find causes for disease. There are many reports from people who have completely recovered bodily and mentally by using it.
