Book Reviews of HO'OPONO
Book Review: A precious classic of Hawaiian traditions
Summary: 5 Stars
This new edition of the classic book is simply wonderful. As the editor of the Bishop Museum book on Hawaiian healing and of Hawaiian Massage Lomilomi: Sacred Touch of Aloha, I look first to the lineage of information provided. This book is based on in-depth interviews with members of the Kame'ekua family of the island of Moloka'i. The author worked as a researcher for the Bishop Museum where she first learned of Kaili'ohe Makaweliweli Kame'ekua, the matriarch of the family. Although traditions vary among the people of different islands, and not all Hawaiians will agree with everything in this book, it beautifully recounts the oral history of this family.
The book has 10 chapters: Time Before Time, Mana, 'Ohana, Kahuna, 'Aumakua, Pono, History and Mythology, Huna, Aloha Is, and 'Imua. It begins with one of the most wonderful stories in Hawaiian tradition, the bowl of light. "Every child born has at birth a bowl of perfect Light. If he tends his Light during his life it will grow in strength and he can do many things..." This parable is a precious teaching that gives us a new way to look at life.
Interwoven with the stories from the family are Pali's personal reminiscences of her life in Hawai'i. My favorites are the ones about her husband, Koko Willis. Koko was 100% menehune, as he liked to say, and "coincidentally" a member of the Kame'ekua 'ohana. Indeed, the story of how they met and eventually married is one "coincidence" after another.
This book is especially important for anyone interested in Huna to learn more about authentic Hawaiian traditions.
Readers of this book will experience a delightful journey to old Hawai'i that will give them new perspectives on how to live their lives in balance.
