There is no word in English that is the equivalent of pono.  Yet, every culture has this crucial concept in some shape or form. 

 

Pono is the righteous, correct balance of all things.

 

The relationships of body, mind and spirit are important parts of pono.  All must thrive for good balance to be achieved. The relationship between people, land, and the Divine is also a crucial aspect of pono.  Without this, good health is not possible.
