Ho'oponopono Eraser: A Guide to Cleansing & Healing

Ho'oponopono originated in Hawaii as a means of creating forgiveness and healing in a family when one of its members was ill. Many modern practitioners have expanded its use to include self-healing and transformation of individuals. One modern cleansing method is to use a pencil eraser as a cleaning tool to get rid of negative thoughts and bad feelings associated with items, people or situations. The eraser is a physical symbol that users associate with the act of cleansing and removal.
