Many if not most people at one point or another call upon spiritual forces for help. This often happens when a person finds himself or herself in difficult circumstances, and calls out to the heavens in a form of desperate measure. There’s nothing at all shameful or dishonorable in this, and many if not all of us have done this very thing. While we may hope for the best when we do resort to seeking spiritual intervention, in our heart of hearts we may believe that getting the intervention we hope for is a long shot at best.

There are however approaches that not only believe spiritual intervention is possible, but expect spiritual intervention to take place. Many organized religions believe in the notion of interaction between the spiritual realm and the physical realm where humans reside. Depending upon the religion and the circumstances, this interaction may take the form of worship, punishment, or intervention, or a combination thereof. There are also approaches to spiritual interaction that are not religious in nature and are instead based in metaphysical beliefs.

Ho’oponopono is a belief system that presumes that interaction between the physical and spiritual realm can and does take place. Ho’oponopono doesn’t just presume interaction between the physical and spiritual, it assumes that helping intervention coming from the spiritual realm will take place when it is asked for. Naturally, this idea of getting spiritual intervention consistently by simply asking for it doesn’t sit well with everyone. Ho’oponopono has its skeptics and there are a number of them, but the practitioners of ho’oponopono, as one might imagine, aren’t dissuaded from their beliefs because of skeptics.

Ho’oponopono actually has two known forms: traditional ho’oponopono and Self-Identity ho’oponopono. Self-Identity ho’oponopono is an offshoot of traditional ho’oponopono but reduced in scope to make individual application of the ho’oponopono form possible. Traditional ho’oponopono typically dealt with an entire group of people, all of whom had to be accounted for and given consideration. Self-Identity ho’oponopono allows for a single person to use the form. Where traditional ho’oponopono focused on interaction between people with differing perspectives, Self-Identity ho’oponopono takes place only between one person and what’s referred to as the higher source power, or God.

Either form of ho’oponopono can be considered a problem solving technique, but Self-Identity ho’oponopono really does go beyond simple problem solving and takes into account spiritual connections and spiritual intervention. Self-Identity ho’oponopono is not a religious form, but it does place emphasis on some classic religious perspectives, in particular an interaction with a higher source power.
