Hoʻoponopono Basics: Protocol and Practices
(Kaʻu Origin)

Discover the healing power of hoʻoponopono the way many of our Hawaiian ancestors practiced this traditional family therapy of restitution and forgiveness.

Hoʻoponopono means “to make right” or “to set right” and has deep historical roots in Kaʻu, Hawaiʻi – our familyʻs traditional home.

The Kaʻu style of hoʻoponopono is vastly different from the popular versions of this cherished Hawaiian healing tradition that is circulating on the internet.

When we practice forgiveness following the Kaʻu traditions of our Hawaiian ancestors, we can release anger and resentment and move beyond past hurts. Modern science validates that practicing forgiveness gifts us with:

• healthier relationships
• improved self-esteem and mental health
• less stress and anxiety
• lower blood pressure
• improved heart health
• a stronger immune system
