Transform Your Life with Ho’oponopono: The Secret to Success – By Dr Joe Vitale

We are living in a belief-driven universe.

(By Dr. Joe Vitale) Everything that we’re experiencing is stemming from our beliefs about reality. By far, we don’t usually think about it. We don’t usually know it because we take reality to be what it is. But reality is based on our perceptions, and our perceptions are our belief system.

The influence of upbringing, culture, and media.

Our belief system is not so much in the conscious mind. We’re not walking around thinking, “This is what I believe.” It’s in the subconscious/unconscious mind. It has a lot to do with our upbringing. We usually download the beliefs of our parents. It has a lot to do with our culture. We download the beliefs of the community that we’re in, the culture, the country that we’re in. It has a lot to do with the media. We download the beliefs of the media that they’re promoting out there. And what’s going on is that we’re downloading all this without any awareness, without any consciousness because we’re kids. We’re growing up and we’re being programmed to survive. And those programs usually help us survive, but they don’t help us thrive and prosper. We’re not taught to do that.

Ho’oponopono and clearing limiting beliefs.

So, we get to a point in life, like right now, and people look around going, “Well, I survived. I got here, but I’m not necessarily happy or I’m not necessarily healthy or I’m not necessarily wealthy.” And they have all of these people they can point out and complain about and say, “It’s the president, it’s the political system, it’s the government, it’s the world crisis, it’s the pandemic.” It can go on forever with agreed-upon excuses. Oh boy, can we? Yes, yes we can. And you could just go on social media and see that happening forever. It’s infinite. It’ll just keep going because the bickering attracts more bickering.

Ho’oponopono Technique – The History and Steps

Understanding Ho’oponopono and removing limiting beliefs.

And so, all of this is coming from our belief system, and what Ho’oponopono is doing is helping us clear our beliefs—those limiting beliefs, the negative beliefs, the old paradigms, the mindsets that aren’t serving us. Ho’oponopono was designed to help go in and remove what they called “data.” The data is the programming, the data is the software of your mind. It got you here, but if you actually want to thrive and prosper and have love and whatever else that you’re looking for in your life, we need to remove the beliefs that prevent it. Once we remove the beliefs that prevent it, voila, there it is. It was there all along. We just didn’t see it because of our data, our beliefs.

Ho’oponopono focuses on internal cleansing.

So, Ho’oponopono is to cleanse you. It is not to cleanse anybody else. Now, that doesn’t say that you’re not going to help that person, but what you’re going to focus on is not that person but your perception of that person. This is a very important distinction because people look out and maybe they see a loved one hurting or in this case, you’ve met somebody who’s gone through quite a bit and you really want to make a difference. You want to help them. You can’t, in Ho’oponopono, directly help them because Ho’oponopono views them as a kind of

mirage, as a kind of mirror image, as a kind of illusion. And what’s more important is what’s inside of you as you look at this illusion. When you look and you see this person and you are feeling an urge to help them, that feeling, the urge to help them, is in you. When you feel bad for them, the feeling bad is in you. When you feel like you’re frustrated because you’re listening to them but they’re not changing, that frustration is in you. What you focus on in Ho’oponopono is all of what’s in you.

Dr. Hew Len’s approach in Ho’oponopono.

Think back to the original story that I told in Zero Limits, that entire ward of mentally ill criminals. When Dr. Hew Len went in that ward, he didn’t focus on healing them. He focused on clearing his perceptions of them. So when he looked at these mentally ill criminals or he looked at their files, their folders, and he was mad, he was upset, he was aggravating, he went through all these different emotions. Those emotions are what he focused on clearing.

Clearing perceptions to create positive change.

Now, here’s what happens when you focus on your internal experience. Dr. Hew Len focused on himself. He’s saying, “I love you, I’m sorry, please forgive me, thank you,” and anything else that comes to mind is inspiration. And all of that is only to do one thing: clean up his feelings, his perceptions, his emotions, clean up what’s going on in him. That’s the entire focus. But as a result of doing that, those patients got better. They started to heal. They started to get off of medication. They were either sedated or shackled. They started not being shackled. They started not needing sedation anymore. But he didn’t work on them, he worked on himself.

Ho’oponopono as self-transformation.

This is the trick to making Ho’oponopono work in this case too. You have this person that you want to help, but in reality, what you want to help is yourself. You want to look at yourself and you want to know, “What am I feeling about this person?” And you feel love, you feel concerned, you feel care. You might feel frustration, you might feel impatient, you might feel confusion, you might feel pain. Whatever it is you’re feeling, that’s what you want to clear in you. Those are the perceptions that are being created in your mind as you look at this person. So, those perceptions are in you, not any other person. When you clear those perceptions in you, magically in some sort of quantum physics way that I don’t understand, the other people start to get better. So, you don’t work on that person, you work on you and your viewpoint of that person.

The power of Ho’oponopono as a transformative technique.

As you take care of that, you bring yourself to a place of peace. You may look out and suddenly notice, “Oh, she’s better now.” But she didn’t focus on her or him. You focused on you. Ho’oponopono, maybe you’ve heard of it, maybe you haven’t. If you haven’t heard of it, brace yourself because it’s the most powerful, the most transformational, the most magical, the most miraculous technique I’ve ever come across.

Note by Dr Joe Vitale

I’m Dr. Joe Vitale. I’ve written 80 books. I’ve recorded 15 albums. I have 200-some products. I have coaching programs, certification programs, but nothing ever has had the impact in my life as Ho’oponopono has. I’ve been teaching it to other people since around 2005. There is great depth to it, though it’s very simple on the very superficial level. There are really only four phrases, and you’re kind of saying them as a quiet prayer or petition. But there’s so much more to it than that, and what I really want you to do is check it out. I want you to check it out for you, your family, your friends, and ultimately for the world. It’s that powerful, and as I like to say, expect miracles.
