Ho'oponopono - Moving Forward



Ho'oponopono - Moving Forward


Hoʻoponopono (ho-o-pono-pono) is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Essentially, it means to make it right with the ancestors, or to make right with the people with whom you have relationships, or to make right within one's self.  This practice is affective in removing  the blocks... the fog... the memories and conditioning that prevents one from moving forward. Moving forward in awareness,  love, peace, acceptance, trust, creativity, inspiration, freedom... the list is endless.

The four aspects of Ho'oponopono are; I Love You, Thank You, Forgive Me, I Am Sorry. Each of these  batiks represents one of these aspect.  It doesn't matter which order.  As one moves through these realizations and removes the hindrances, the veil is lifted resulting in  gratitude,  vibrancy and clarity.

These Batiks were inspired by the book "Zero Limits"  by  Dr. Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len.

  1. This is really a beautiful collection of benches. I love the scrollwork. The bottom left with the vivid yellow background and red leaves is my favorite.
