Are you overworked and overstressed?
Are you doing your best but finding professional success and personal fulfillment frustratingly difficult to attain?
You may not be getting along with people around you? Interdependence is awry sometimes!
I just found about Ho-oponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Similar forgiveness practices were performed on islands throughout the South Pacific, including Samoa, Tahiti and New Zealand.
Ho oponopono" is defined in the Hawaiian Dictionary as "mental cleansing: family conferences in which relationships were set right through prayer, discussion, confession, repentance, and mutual restitution and forgiveness." Literally, ho'o is the equivalent to the English "to". It creates a verb from the noun pono, which is defined as
"goodness, uprightness, morality, moral qualities, correct or proper procedure, excellence, well-being, prosperity, welfare, benefit, true condition or nature, duty; moral, fitting, proper, righteous, right, upright, just, virtuous, fair, beneficial, successful, in perfect order, accurate, correct, eased, relieved; should, ought, must, necessary."
Ponopono is defined as "to put to rights; to put in order or shape, correct, revise, adjust, amend, regulate, arrange, rectify, tidy up, make orderly or neat."
Pukui described it as a practice of extended family members meeting to "make right" broken family relations.
Some families met daily or weekly, to prevent problems from erupting.
Others met when a person became ill, believing that illness was caused by the stress of anger, guilt, recriminations and lack of forgiveness Kupuna Nana Veary wrote that when any of the children in her family fell ill, her grandmother would ask the parents, "What have you done?" They believed that healing could come only with complete forgiveness of the whole family.
Ho oponopono corrects, restores and maintains good relationships among family members by getting to the causes and sources of trouble. It releases stress.
Usually the most senior member of the family conducts it. He or she gathers the family together. If the family is unable to work through a problem, they turn to a respected outsider.
The process begins with commitment.A statement of the problem is made, and the transgression discussed. Family members are expected to work problems through and cooperate, not "hold fast to the fault." One or more periods of silence may be taken for reflection on the entanglement of emotions and injuries. Everyone's feelings are acknowledged. Then confession, repentance and forgiveness take place. Everyone releases (kala) each other, letting go.
They cut off the past (oki), and together they close the event with a ceremonial feast, called pani, which often included eating limu kala or kala seaweed, symbolic of the release of problem.
A noble way in which conflicts can be resolved in companies, brainstroming could take form of Ho'oponopono.
Do you think Mangament Junta will be open to Ho'oponopono? Can this be implemented in boardrooms and systems?
Please share your thoughts!!!
