For months I’ve been working on a book that weaves together the practice of ho‘oponopono with the story of a parent and child. It isn’t a manual or a lecture. It’s a journey. One told through dreams, conflicts, silences, and small acts of repair.
The heart of it is simple: the problems we meet in life are not accidents. They keep returning until we face them. And when we do, they can become the very doorway to healing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this a teaching book or a novel?
A little of both. It’s a teaching book told through story, where each chapter opens with a vignette you can feel before the explanation arrives.
Q: Is it autobiographical?
No. It’s an original work of fiction but it draws on the living spirit of the practice and the wisdom that has carried it through generations.
Q: Why use a story instead of just explaining the principles?
Because stories reach where explanation alone cannot. When we see a character struggle, falter, and grow, we remember not only with our minds but with our hearts.
Q: What makes this different from other books on ho‘oponopono?
It doesn’t stop at the four phrases or treat them like a formula. Instead, it shows what happens when those words are lived through grief, arguments, laughter, and love across generations.
