How to Walk with He Moko Puna
He Moko Puna is a sacred puna, not a pathway to rush through or complete.
This journal is a companion something you return to when you are ready. Some wāhine will open it often, others occasionally. Some will write, others will sit quietly with the words. All of these ways are valid.
There is no right place to begin.
There is no set pace.
There is no expectation of completion.
Being with the journal
He Moko Puna is designed to support reflection, intuition, and remembering. You may choose to:
Read slowly and pause often
Write freely or briefly
Return to the same page many times
Step away and come back when life allows
Let the journal meet you where you are.
Time and intention
This work is best approached gently. Even a few minutes of intentional reflection is enough. Trust what arises, and trust when it is time to rest.
If at any point the kōrero feels heavy, you are encouraged to pause, ground yourself, and seek support where needed. This journal does not replace professional or clinical care it sits alongside your wider wellbeing supports.
The deeper movements
Within He Moko Puna, you will encounter the TOI movements of being that guide reflection rather than instruct it. These are not steps to master, but invitations to notice how you are moving through your life.
You do not need to understand them all at once. Understanding comes through time, reflection, and lived experience.
Beginning
When you feel ready, you may download the journal and begin anywhere that calls to you.
Trust yourself.
Trust the pace.
Return as often as you need.
He Moko Puna will be here.
Next step
