The Book of Ho'oponopono: The Hawaiian Practice of Forgiveness and Healing
by Luc Bodin, Jean Graciet, Nathalie Bodin Lamboy
The Book of Ho'oponopono by Luc Bodin et. al. is a free .pdf galley copy of a book from Inner Traditions that I read in late February. Being a avid reader of native Hawaiian culture and history, I knew that I should give this therapeutic, seemingly gorgeous book a try.
At first, the concept and method of this book - using mantras that involve love, forgiveness, and gratitude to loosen feelings of stress or unpleasantness - seemed incredibly simple, before realizing that this book had multiple authors. From there (as in after the mantra of Ho'oponopono was introduced), the therapy became boggled in interpretation for different faith centres, analysis of psychological practices, and small attempts at the meaning of life. Ultimately, it's 150 pages too long and not all too much is focused onto Hawaiian therapies.
