There are many striking similarities between the Hawaiian ho'oponopono forgiveness ritual and traditional Western counseling approaches. Ho'oponopono means to "do anything rightly right." Communicates the deep hidden need to live in harmony with oneself and with humanity, nature and God. "To do rightly well" means an intention, after having veered off course, to become whole in body and spirit and to achieve happiness and well being. The traditional Western counseling approach to which I would like to compare ho'oponopono is the reconstruction of dissociated patterns. Hawaiian kahunas who practiced ho'oponopono believed that every human being possessed three selves. The lower self "unihipiliis" is seen as a communicating personality that moves towards things, people and experiences it likes and away from things it does not like. The 'uhane', the mental self, expresses the intellect and the highest aspirations. The intermediate self is capable of thinking over an extended time, accumulating knowledge, individuality, and increasing understanding through its ability to discriminate. The higher self 'aumakua' can be translated as "absolutely reliable ancestral spirit". “Making anything rightly right” means reconnecting with your higher self. Return to harmony and be in balance again so that you can restore your environment and reshape reality. Ho'oponopono is a four-step process; the first step that the individual takes to reach a place of recognition, intelligence, courage, strength and peace; in the second step the individual describes the problem, it can be a judgment that he has performed a specific action with which he feels uncomfortable or a memory that requires healing; the third phase consists of pronouncing the four sentences... in the center of the paper... in new information; the ability to modify and elaborate schemas in different contexts and as individual influences vary. The reconstruction of dissociated schemas is a three-component process characterized by arousal, symbolization, and reorganization. ReferencesBarratt, B.B. (2014).
