Part 5: Ho`omaluhia, Being At Peace. Rest. - Ho'oponopono

In Part 5, we discuss the concept of “ho`omaluhia” to be at peace, peaceful, or serene. We all need time to rest, nourish, and recover from tears of difficult emotion. In this lecture on ho`oponopono, we discuss some of the blocks that come with the hard work of challenging conversations, and name rest and nourishment, to help dissolve blocks or barriers. Some people may not ever be able to recover or heal. We must adapt to the ebb and flow of others’ emotions without judgement in order to heal.

Welcome to Part 5, Healing and Rest, Allowing each to rest and return again to discussion. This is Part 5 of a six-part series on Ho'oponopono, A Native Hawaiian practice. In Parts 1 through 4, We talked about our commitments to each other, Prayer or intention setting, Our willingness to persevere through difficult discussions, And seeing each other and ourselves through the lens and layers of our emotions as we reflected on the physical, Mental, And emotional effects of the stress and tension we feel when confronted with our problems. Another part of this process is rest, Or ho'omaluhiya, To be at peace or to offer serenity. For the time being, Or in between moments of heaviness, Ho'omaluhiya is crucial for us to recover and regain spiritual strength as we work through difficult discussions. This part of ho'oponopono is to allow individuals to reflect and gather their energy and strength to continue working through to the source of the problem so it can be properly addressed. Time and rest are crucial to the healing process and can take moments of silence, Days, Or perhaps weeks to rest and reflect. It is up to the facilitator to determine when it is time to rest, Restore, And come back again to the main challenge or the problem. It is worth noting that a family member, If they still feel stuck in anger, Can be removed or asked to remove themselves from the healing process if they lack the clarity to be able to work through it. This is known as mo'kapiko, To sever from the umbilical cord. This is, Of course, A last resort when all opportunities have been cast. Questions for reflection.
