Authentic Ho'oponopono has
its origin in indigenous Hawaii and was adapted to modern
times by Morrnah Simeona. It is defined by the Hawaiian
scholar Mary Kawena Pukui as an irrevocable requirement.
"Spiritual cleansing in the context of family conference in
which interpersonal relationships through prayer,
discussion, confession, repentance and MUTUAL forgiveness
will be restored.“
(https://wehewehe.org/gsdl2.85/cgi-bin/hdict?a=d&d=D18551
, n° 1b).
Some words in this text can be exchanged without losing
their meaning, for example 'Family conference'with 'Group'
in Morrnah's universal version and' Interpersonal
relationships 'with unwanted circumstances'.
However, in a traditional version, the family conference is
of outstanding importance as the family was and is the
center of life on Hawaii.
The term 'mutual'
stands for the fact that the other one forgives as well.
This is possible only in the traditional Ho'oponopono (where
the participants of a given problem are physically present)
and the universal version of Morrnah (where the participants
are mentally present and connected by energetic iines).
Ho'oponopono
does not work faster or stronger by mixing it with other methods, but doing so may slow,
stop or even trigger misfortune due to the confusion of the inner child.
Ho'oponopono
is a way of life, a mindset that strives for harmony every
day, and is a problem-solving technique. Ho'oponopono is NOT
used to 'hear' the voice of higher spirits. These usually
have their own agenda, and want to rob people of their
sovereignty by telling them 'where to go' and
'what to do'. Ho'oponopono is NOT a 'magic wand'
and never goes above a person's freedom of choice.
.
After convening a family
conference, a mediator (a Kahuna or an Elder with special
skills) performed prayer rounds, formulated the problems and
addressed the violations.
Then
mutual confessions, repentance and forgiveness took place.
Everyone let go of everyone, so that the 'aka cords'
(threads of fine, disharmonic energy lines at the astral
level) were cut.All participants of the event released
themselves from the given problem and it ended with a
ceremonial feast that often contained the food of
kala-seaweed (limu kala),a symbol of 'letting go'.

Morrnah Simeona developed this
'universal' Ho'oponopono from the traditional Ho'oponopono,
creating something fundamentally new, while maintaining a
true Ho'oponopono as defined by Kawena.
The expression 'universal' in this
context means that Morrnah's path has been resolved in
several areas of Hawaiian thought and can now be easily
understood and applied by anyone, alone and without outside
help.
Those involved in a
problem now do not have to be physically present (e.g the
extended family), but are mentally present by including a
problem list, from whatever time and place they are in.
Likewise, she introduced the Divine Creator (our oldest
spiritual ancestor) as the only problem solver (after
praying)instead of other high spirit-beings as in the
traditional version.
However,
Morrnah's final version did not appear suddenly, but
underwent about a dozen refinements
since 1974 (with ever changing titles e.g. 'The way of
the 'I' ', 1978, and 'Self-Identity through
Ho'oponopono', 1986). Only her LAST version from 1991
is the version she intended to be final, detailed in the
book 'The Coronation of Consciousness'). It is also
the only one PACIFICA SEMINARS is teaching in seminars and
lectures.
A 'problem' means the
'effect of a negative cause'. Ho'oponopono does not
focus on effects. It is cleansing the causes. The causes of
the problems are dissolved by Divine blessing (Haw.'ho'omana'
or 'summoned divine energy'):
All unwanted, negative bonds
between people, animals, plants, objects,
spirits, etc.are finally and harmoniously 'cut'-for the
benefit of ALL participants involved in given problems. It
is pure karma extinction. Through
this, the dark side of the astral world is also purified and
its glittering world returns. A new
creation begins.
Morrnah Simeona was born May 19,
1913 in Honolulu, Hawaii; and died on
February 11, 1992 in Kirchheim near Munich, where she lived
with Michael Micklei and Yvette
Mauri, finishing her system. She was a kahuna la'au lapa'au
(herb healer), later lomi-lomi-nui-teacher before she
exclusively brought her
Ho'oponopono into the world.
Morrnah's final 14-step process is still shrouded in mystery
and will be known as the one that will end the suffering of
creation – with the transition to a New world
