On Demand: Hana I Ka Pono Prayer Intensive

Description

What is Hana I Ka Pono?

Hana I Ka Pono means wellness through forgiveness. It is an intention and a practice of taking 100% responsibility of our thoughts, words, and actions to affect positive change for one’s self, loved ones, and situations past, present, or future. We all have a kuleana (responsibility) to bring ourselves and our world into wellness. Through Self Soul Discovery questions, we will explore the counterproductive beliefs and stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, and the stories we hold on to based on hurtful memories. In this prayer practice, we will release, cleanse, and heal the parts of ourselves that have been storing so much pain, anger, resentment, shame, guilt, blame, and more. As we do this inner work, we open ourselves to humility and welcome her grace to flow in us, through us, and as us. We will then extend our kuleana outward to situations, places, and events (past, present, and future) to release, cleanse, and heal the space, setting the stage for the desired outcome. You will find many ways to apply this practice in your life to cause great healing, for there is no limit to what we can affect physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially, and relationally.

How is Hana I Ka Pono different from Hoʻoponopono? And why now?

From a request and out of respect for my Hawaiian elders, our culture, and our traditional practices, I, Kahu Lāhela, am no longer using the title Hoʻoponopono for the work of cleansing through forgiveness because this title/word/name specifically refers to the original practice of forgiveness. The traditional practice of Hoʻoponopono involves an entire family working together with the guidance of a facilitator requiring many steps in the process. This process could take hours, days, weeks, or months to resolve. This word has been catching on like wildfire around the world, and its meaning has been diluted and reduced to a convenient pocket-sized version void of its original mana.

So, I decided to do my part in making things pono by changing the name to Hana I Ka Pono. While I know without a doubt that individually and collectively, we have affected great healing for ourselves and others thus far, I feel a sense of obligation to the Kupuna (the elders) to do the right thing, since so much has been taken away from us—our Queen, our land, our language, our traditional practices, our identity. And so, I’d like to begin with initiating Hana I Ka Pono by first asking the ancestors, Nā Kupuna, for forgiveness of the bastardization and devaluation of Hoʻoponopono. The buck stops here.

Taking 100% responsibility means 100%, not 50%. Change begins within us first. One idea, one thought can start a wave of collective consciousness and make a huge impact. We each chose to be here, to be of service, it is our kuleana! With all the changes taking place now, and the systems that are about to collapse, we must center, ground, and strengthen ourselves so that we can navigate the challenging times ahead.

The Goddess is calling us, She needs all our help and time is of the essence! Together, may we take responsibility and affect positive change for the betterment of humanity.
