Ho ' oponopono ( ho-o-pono-pono ) is a cultural practice of reconciliation and forgiveness, usually combined with prayer.
Similar forgiveness practices were performed on islands throughout the South Pacific, including Samoa, Tahiti and New Zealand.
Traditional Hawaiian philosophy does not consider the physical and non-physical aspects of the world to be separate, therefore, to heal one aspect, all must be healed.
For example, if a person has an upset stomach, healing anger toward a sibling may also help to heal the stomach.
A session of ho ` oponopono is generally guided by a kahuna ( traditional priest or healer ), kahu ( minister ), kumu ( traditional teacher ), or family elder.
