The Power of Ho'oponopono: An Introduction to The Ancient Hawaiian Healing Ritual
Hoʻoponopono (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. Traditionally hoʻoponopono is practiced by healing priests or kahuna lapaʻau among family members of a person who is physically ill.
Modern versions are still performed within the family by a family elder, or by the individual alone. In recent years, thanks to authors such as Joe Vitale and Dr. Hew Len, knowledge of this amazing practice has filtered through into western culture.
Because we each experience the world through our own unique window and we have the divine power to manifest our own reality this ancient healing ritual insists that if a problem is in our awareness then we must take responsibility for it in order to remove it.
In ‘The Power of Ho’oponopono’ new thought author Craig Beck gives you a brief introduction and grounding in this life changing style of meditation.
By implementing the easy to follow steps in this book you can affect positive change in your own life and also in the lives of all those that you love.

About the author
Craig Beck
341 books25 followersCraig Beck ABNLP, ABHYP, DhP. is considered by many to be the world's foremost authority on persuasion and human behaviour. Former UK broadcaster, certified NLP Master Practitioner, and bestselling author of more than a hundred books, he has spent two decades reverse engineering why human beings think, decide, buy, follow, and change their minds. More than a million readers across the globe have used his work to understand the hidden mechanics of influence and motivation.
Twenty years on national radio taught him the difference between writing for an audience and talking to one. When he left broadcasting, he turned that instinct on the wiring underneath persuasion itself, training as a hypnotherapist and behavioural change specialist, then translating the science into language ordinary people could carry into a real conversation.
His work spans three connected pillars. Psychology and persuasion, where he decodes how influence operates in business, politics, and relationships. True crime, where he applies the same lens to predators and dangerously persuasive personalities. Personal change, including the internationally known Stop Drinking Expert programme, born directly out of his own quiet, expensive battle with alcohol.
He writes the way he speaks. Plainly. Directly. Sometimes cheekily. Always on the assumption that you would rather hear the truth than be flattered. He does not teach theory from a safe distance. He shows you where the levers are, who has been pulling them, and how to take your hand back.

nice introduction, seems pretty easy to practice and I love the '' I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you'' mantra. my mom advised me to read this book a loooong time ago and I finally did it. I'm at a strange point in my life right now and strangely I'm turning to things like the law of assumption/attraction and ho' oponopono at this very same time. I'm kind of excited for the future but a part of me is also anxious. I'm scared to hope for too much but these books make me feel like I could hope and wish for anything I want. I never allowed myself that, it's easier to be negative. being positive is scary, it's like betting, taking a risk, for me. though these book really tell you that you create everything with your mind. it empowering, exciting, let's see where this goes I guess.

Thought I’d give this a try after finishing my last one. This is a shorter version of a similar concept raised in the last book I read (not sure if I’m allowed to name it in the review).
I found this a lot more generally relevant to life and it didn’t pinpoint any public issues and throw any blame about. I do agree that everything that happens in life, work, love etc all simmers down to self-responsibility 100%, but I feel that it doesn’t make you feel bad about it just guides you through how to make changes to avoid bad things happening. Good book, quick read. Definitely worth a look in.

This is a simple introduction to Ho'oponopono. The high spot was inclusion of his mantra/prayer version of using the practice to address certain issues. Simple and straightforward. but much of the earlier is discussion is not especially relevant, particularly the parts about the placebo effect. A basic, easy read.

Audio-book:audio quality: Good, Narration: Good
Simple and to the point. It is mostly what the title says plus a short and simple introduction to the placebo effect and power of believing.

I'm a little disappointed with this audiobook. I listened to Beck's version on how to use Ho'oponopono and like Joe Vitale's version better.

It’s a marketing stunt. I didn’t learn anything new.

Like the book and the idea behind it but the author mentions things he’s “mentioned previously” that were not in the book.
