Aunty Pali's Classic Book (2nd Ed 2007)
(published by Island Moonlight; out of print)
In her book (Chapter 6), Aunty defined
'PONO' as:
"If it is good, if it is in balance, if it is right, if it helps, if it is righteous, if it corrects, if it is responsible, if it is caring, if it is humble, if it is peaceful, if it honors, it is pono."
This charming story features wisdom from the island of Molokai.
She goes on to tell ancient stories about the Aloha Spirit and the value of Ho'opono, which includes self responsitility to be pono in our
daily thoughts, words and deeds.
When she passed away, she did not leave the rights to her children. so it sadly is out of print.
However, copies can be found on line,
and I have a few copies left as well.
Contact me. ISBN# 978-09677253-7-6
Hawaiian Lomilomi is a healing art, and includes hands-on techniques, as well as plant medicines, pule (prayer/affirmations), connection with Akua, and ho'opono (forgiveness and self-responsibility).

Why I love teaching about the Wisdom of the Body
Our human bodies are amazing in their structure and function! Beyond the 12 systems and basic Anatomy & Physiology, this has become one of my favorite topics to teach! All we have to do is learn how to facilitate the inate healing powers we have, and thanks to homeostasis and other amazing regenerative and restorative principles, we can understand how to take care of ourselves, and what my Aunty Mahealani called: these fantastic temporary human recreational vehicles for our soul's learning adventure on Earth.
