Opening the Aloha Mind: Healing Self, Healing the World with Ho'oponopono

It’s the 3rd book on the subject I’ve read and my favorite. It’s well written from a well grounded, highly educated psychologist (I believe). I found it easy to absorb his thorough explanation on Ho’Oponopono and it was an enjoyable read. Mahalo Jim.

James Nourse has tapped into a vein of spiritual wisdom here. In recent years, I've witnessed emerging work that draws sacred attention to the human body as it is in life. There's no judgement, no over-thinking, no moral conclusions. There's only deepening reflection on what it is BEING the body and being WITH the body in each living moment. We are always, it seems, "bodying" about something from an unresolved past.Nourse has taken considerable time to learn about ancient spiritual practices, sacred technologies if you will, now largely forgotten in their native land and, of course, ignored by the rest of the world obsessed with problem-solving, control and an unbridled belief in the notion that there's better living through chemisty. The Western mind isn't at ease with mystery. There's got to be a way, it believes, to intervene and "fix" what's perceived to be broken. In short, Life isn't wise enough to care for itself. So this ignorant culture sets about blindly stealing from its future without ever realizing that there mightbe disastrous consequences ahead.If I can paraphrase Nike's slogan, "Just read it" then Just do it." The book is written for ease of readability. More important, it reflects an author's life not only examined but also embraced.

I really enjoyed everything about this book.As someone who only recently found out and started to practice ho'oponopono on a regular basis, I found Opening the Aloha Mind to be most helpful and interesting from beginning to end.I have read several books about ho'oponopono already and this one is by far the best. Author Jim Nourse presents the material in this book in a way that makes it easy to understand and to implement. His writing style is engaging and friendly. It felt like I was getting advice from an old friend and I was actually sorry when the book ended, I was enjoying it so much.Ho'oponopono works! I don't know how and that doesn't really matter. It is a powerful tool for good and I intend to keep incorporating this simple but profound ritual into my daily life from now on.If you are looking for an excellent book on this topic and are debating about which one to get, get this one! You won't be sorry.Geraldine Helen Hartman, author

I started practicing Ho'oponopono over a month ago after I read Joe Vitale's extraordinary book Zero Limits. What a liberating technique! I'd come to a point where what I wanted above all was peace of mind and inner joy, yet my subconscious fears were tenacious. Now, thanks to Ho'oponopono, as soon as I feel some inner turmoil I say over and over again to my Higher Mind: "I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you" to stops negativity in its tracks. I let go. I cast my burden upon the Lord (Psalms). Opening the Aloha Mind explains so well how negative subconscious memories are released through the practice of Ho'oponopono. I am very grateful to Jim Nourse for writing this excellent book. Aloha Mahalo.

This book is a GEM. It is not the first book I have read about Ho'oponopono. As I read I feel the respect the author has for the Hawaiian culture and people and for people in general. I have read the chapter "Creating the Life of Your Dreams" over many times. That chapter has the most highlights in my whole book. His words are inspiring, they are indeed "words of wisdom", it is crazy how just reading that chapter makes me feel at peace. The explanation of the differences between the Law of Attraction and Ho'oponopono is very well done and easy to understand. In fact, I felt a few "AHA" moments of understanding and ideas and "ways of being" coming together. For me this chapter is the "Healing with the Aloha Mind". Thank you -- thank you -- thank you for your wonderful book.

I have loved adding this authors perspective to my collection of books on Ho’oponopono.

An excellent book on an interesting topic. This book is a well written treatise on a simple and practical method of reaching both spiritual and psychological balance within oneself. Illustrated with interesting, anecdotes and full of references to far older psychological theorems this book is both useful and an intellectual treat. It is also surprisingly accessible to the lay reader while still useful to the professional healer. I strongly recommend purchasing this book.

I consider myself to be a very spiritual person and already have a spiritual practice but after reading Dr. Nourse's book on healing the World with Ho'oponopono I have become even more so. Anyone who is not already into a spiritual practice needs to read this book, and anyone that already has a spiritual practice needs to read this book. It will truly open your eyes to healing yourself more deeply than you can imagine. Dr. Nourse is a very gifted and wonderful psychologist, therapist and healer. This book is written so beautifully so that anyone can understand it and receive great guidance from it. I highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful explanation of Ho'oponopono which helped deepen my understanding of it. It is not as focused on the tools as some other books, but explains the essence wonderfully. A great read.

I have just finished this book it has great learning to. The way of explaining each and every part of it just great. It adds more knowledge to my learning. Great job done.

when looking for a little peace of mind, this was recommended by a health consultant, I use this whenI cant make sense of things and am frustrated

Great book
