Have you ever wondered why some people seem to attract Wealth effortlessly while others struggle with money despite their best efforts? The answer might lie in the memories and subconscious beliefs we carry about money. In a recent seminar I taught called The Secret of Money, I shared an eye-opening revelation: if you’re broke, it’s because you’re not clear. Clarity, or the lack of it, determines whether you attract money or not.
As Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, the master of Ho’oponopono, once told me: “If you’re clear about money, you’ll have it. The universe will give it to you if you are ready to receive. It’s memories that keep it away, blocking your ability to see the abundance available.”
How to Clear Your Money Blocks
So, how do you get clear? The answer is deceptively simple: keep saying, “I love you.” This is one of the core practices of Ho’oponopono. But do you say it to money itself? According to Dr. Hew Len, it’s better to direct your love to the Divine. When you’re at a state of zero—where there are no memories playing in your mind—you have zero limits. Money can flow to you freely, but if you’re stuck in memories, it will prevent abundance from reaching you.
There are countless memories surrounding money, and as you clean these memories, you’re also cleaning them for everyone else. That’s the beauty of Ho’oponopono—it works for the collective, not just the individual.
The Energy Shift
I remember one day Dr. Hew Len and I went into a deli for some coffee. The place was quiet at first, but as we sat and chatted, more people started to trickle in. The energy in the room shifted, and soon the deli was bustling. Dr. Hew Len noticed this too, and commented on it: “We brought our cleaner selves, and the place is feeling it.”
This wasn’t an isolated incident. Dr. Hew Len shared stories of visiting restaurants in Europe, where business was slow, but after his visit, the places thrived. His clear energy had a palpable effect. It got to the point where he would ask restaurant owners, “If we come in and your business improves, will you give us a free meal?” More often than not, they agreed, and Dr. Hew Len ended up with many free meals, simply because of his clear energy.
The Secret to Receiving
Another crucial aspect of attracting money is generosity. Dr. Hew Len was always giving freely. I remember when we went into a little shop and he bought some stained glass items for friends. He slapped a $20 bill on the counter and told the clerk, “This is for you.” The clerk was surprised, of course, but Dr. Hew Len just smiled and said, “It’s only money.”
Later, I decided to follow his example by giving a large tip to a waitress at a restaurant. She was shocked and said she couldn’t accept it. I insisted, and then something interesting happened. Shortly after, I received an idea for a product that I knew would bring me a significant amount of money.
Dr. Hew Len pointed out that the universe was rewarding my generosity: “You gave, so it gave back. That inspiration was your reward. Had you not given, you wouldn’t have received.”
And there, in that moment, I realized the true secret to money: giving without attachment. The universe will always reward you when you let go and give freely.
Letting Go to Receive More
One of the things that block Wealth is our attachment to ideas. Dr. Hew Len noticed that people often lock onto one idea and try to force it to fit their expectations. This rigid mindset blocks the flow of abundance. When you’re not attached to how things should go, you open yourself to receive even better ideas.
For instance, I had started working on a product called CardioSecret, which was a cholesterol-lowering natural formula. But while waiting on legal reviews, I had a sudden inspiration for another product—Fitorita, a natural margarita mix for bodybuilders. If I had stayed rigidly focused on CardioSecret, I wouldn’t have been open to the new opportunity that came my way.
As Dr. Hew Len said, “You weren’t attached, so the Divine gave you a new money-making idea.” It’s a powerful reminder to stay open and trust the universe to bring us what we need, often in unexpected ways.
Clearing for Others
The beauty of Ho’oponopono is that it doesn’t just help us. When we clear our memories and limiting beliefs, we help others too. Dr. Hew Len explained that when therapists see clients, their job isn’t to fix the other person, but to heal themselves of the program they share with the client. By doing so, they help clear that memory for both parties.
He shared a story about a woman who came to him with schizophrenia. As she told her story, Dr. Hew Len kept repeating “I love you” in his mind to the Divine. He noticed that part of her issue stemmed from her hyphenated last name, which created a split in her identity. Once she began using her birth name, she started to relax and feel whole again. But was it the name change, or was it the power of “I love you” that made the difference? Dr. Hew Len didn’t claim to know. All he knew was that by loving her and cleaning the shared memory, healing occurred.
The Puppet and Puppeteer
In reflecting on all this, I’ve come to realize that we are both the puppet and the puppeteer in our lives. We have free will, but we also have the Divine working through us. When we clear the interference—our limiting beliefs and attachments—we can act as the puppeteer, guiding our lives. But we are also the puppet, allowing the Divine to guide us.
The key, as Dr. Hew Len taught me, is to keep cleaning. Keep saying “I love you.” By doing so, you clear the path for abundance, health, and inspiration to flow into your life.
Expect Miracles with Ho’oponopono
Ho’oponopono is more than just a practice—it’s a way of life. It’s about continuously clearing the memories and blocks that prevent us from living fully and receiving all that the universe has to offer. As Dr. Joe Vitale said, “Expect miracles.”
Whether you’re dealing with money issues, relationship problems, or any other challenges, the power to heal and attract lies within you. Just keep cleaning, keep saying “I love you,” and watch how your life transforms.
