The Lost Wisdom of Ho'oponopono with James Kawainui

What if one of the most popular spiritual practices in the world… has been oversimplified? In this episode of Call Cut with Angélique, we go far beyond the surface of Ho'oponopono—the ancient Hawaiian practice often reduced to a simple mantra—and uncover its true power as a deep, communal healing ritual rooted in accountability, integrity, and inner transformation. I'm joined by Native Hawaiian healer, kahuna, and author James Kawainui, who shares the original meaning of Ho'oponopono and why modern interpretations may only scratch the surface. We explore: What Ho'oponopono actually means (and why it translates to "to correct") How the popular mantra version became commercialized—and what got lost The difference between real healing and spiritual bypass Why unresolved inner conflict keeps repeating in your external world The power of deep listening, responsibility, and emotional truth How ancient practices can help resolve not just personal conflict—but collective division This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing isn't about repeating the right words—it's about facing what's real, integrating your shadow, and returning to alignment within yourself. If you've ever felt like surface-level practices weren't creating lasting change… this episode will hit home. Connect with James: www.jameskawainui.com New episodes drop every Friday.
