Ho'oponopono: The Hawaiian Ritual of Forgiveness Paperback – 12 Oct. 2023

Whether you practice a religious doctrine, or follow a spiritual path, this is a book that will help you practice the love and harmony rooted at the centre of most religions. However if you are a non believer, this book will provide you with a frame work within which to work and help you to maintain a calm trusting demeanor when dealing with your every day challenges.What I found most endearing was the simplicity of the message and the practice of Ho'oponopono (it's easy for you to say). If you practice this ritual every day I am confident that you will feel the difference physically, mentally, and spiritually.This book makes a great gift and will be well received.Be aware the kindle edition can be difficult to read when it comes to the lighter print used to highlight certain passages, and the are differences in the text, so if you are reading in a group it can be confusing if some are reading the paperback version and others are reading from a Kindle.

Ho'oponopono works and it's profound. If you are aware that the world is some sort of mirror of what's going on in you then this can work for you. It's very deep and requires 100% responsibility but it's so easy to do. Try it...i've done cleaning on my own feelings about world events and characters and they have disappeared or things have radically changed suddenly, miraculously. I do not do the affirmations to change anything, I do them to be free, it just so happens that there is no outside so when I change me I change everything.

The author of this little book introduces the Ho'oponopono ritual as a practical and compassionate guide to working with our unresolved issues, wounds, grievances and generally our separation from ourselves, others and the Divine. He gives a short background of the origin of the ritual and introduces a down-to-earth approach that can be used in everyday life to finding back to a state of peace and love. Ho'oponopono reminds me of the philosophy of A Course in Miracles, of The Work of Byron Katie and of the Christian Welcoming Practice and it has elements of all of them. The material is well organised and lovingly presented. The only thing that I found not so helpful, was the use of light colours for different sections, which made these sometimes difficult to read. Huge appreciation and recommendation for this book.

Beautifuly written, accurate and inspiring and enlightening, would highly recommend 🌟

A little book you can carry in a pocket. Read it and meditate, and use the "message".

Great little book. Explains it all so well and gives you exercises too. It helps you to clear away the baggage in your life. You need to have an idea of what troubles you so you can 'clear it'. SImply use the 4 phrases to clear away the gunk in your life topic by topic ' I am sorry, I love you. Forgive me. Thank you.'Interesting but may not be for everyone. I prefer Health Kinesiology!

I bought this wonderful pocket-size book after I had been to a conference where Ho'oponopono was mentioned. I needed to know more about this therapeutic exercise - it did not disappoint. I would recommend it to anyone who is curious about Ho'oponopono and wants to read a clear and concise book about it. It also contains beautiful photographs. A big thank you to Ulrich Dupree for writing it - Mahalo nui loa, Me ke aloha pumehana and for teaching me (in the book) how to write that!

Well, I think I love it but haven't had time to do more than flick quickly through it. It's a nice little book though and I look forward to finding time to read it once I'm finished with all the reviews !
