Ho'oponopono is the ancient Hawaiian method of self-help that clears toxic energies within you, those same energies that block your life with mental obstacles, in order to allow the presence of Divine thoughts, words, deeds, and actions.
To put it simply, Ho'oponopono means “to make it right, to clear the erroneous programs“. According the ancient Hawaiian peoples, errors are created from thoughts that are permeated with painful memories from the past.
I first got to know about the Ho’oponopono from the book Zero Limits by Joe Vitale, one of the teachers in the film "The Secret".
This book has been created with the insights by Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, Master Teacher of modern Ho'oponopono. Zero Limits is one of the best books I have read in my life.
Ho’oponopono offers a way, through love, gratitude and forgiveness to clear the energy of the painful thoughts, or errors, which cause imbalance and desease.
I am very interested and amazed by the work done by Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, told by Joe Vitale in his article “An Unsual Therapist”. I see the possibility to heal the world through ourselves. We are totally in charge. Dr. Len healed a whole mental hospital of mental ill people in Hawaii, using the method of Ho'oponopono.
Zero Limits Live Maui with Joe Vitale and Dr Hew Len
Let Dr. Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len Teach You How To Get To The Incredibile and Euphoric State Of 'Zero' - (this Is Where You Clear Yourself Of Past Limitations And Open Yourself Up To A World Filled With Unlimited Possibilities).
According to Dr. Len, we can live from memory or from inspiration. Memories are old programs replaying. Inspiration is when it is the Divine giving you a message.
The Divine is our zero state, it is where we have zero limits. No memories, no thoughts, no identity, just the Divine.
Ho'oponopono is explained by Dr. Len as really being very simple. For the ancient Hawaiians, all problems begin as thoughts. The problem is that every thought is permeated with painful memories, such as memories of persons, places, or things.
When you do Hooponopono, the Divinity inside you neutralizes or purifies the painful thought, the energy you associate to a person, a place, a thing.
Dr. Len uses many ways to clean, but the way he uses most often, is repeating four statements over and over, addressing them to the Divine.
Here they are:
We are 100% responsible for our own reality
Hooponopono tells that we are 100% responsable for what happens in our life. As we heal ourselves, we heal the world around us.
When we have a problem to solve, we have to work on ourselves, asking “what is going on in me that caused the problem?” Dr. Len didn’t work on the mentally ill criminals in Hawaii, he worked on himself. He took the responsibility for the erroneous programs that he shared with the patients.
Joe Vitale makes the example of the cold. We are not bad when we get a cold, we just have to clean up from it. It is the same with the erroneous programs, we have to clean them up to allow the Divinity within us to be.
Ho’oponopono tells that every problem is an opportunity to clean memories that are replaying. We have the possibility to see them with the eyes of love and clean them, arriving to the zero limits state, where we act by inspiration and not by memory.
To be 100% responsible means that we are responsible for the people that come in our lives and their problems. The key is to love everything, to tell “I love you” to unlock every problem. And you use it on yourself, not on others.
How to use the four phrases
I love you ~ You are allowing yourself to be open to the love coming to you.
I'm sorry ~ You are saying sorry to the Divinity within you for your erroneous programs/thoughts, even without knowing what the cause is.
Please forgive me ~ You ask forgiveness to the Divinity in you.
Thank you ~ You expresses gratitude for the opportunity that clearing a program gives to you.

Ho oponopono and EFT
I use the Ho oponopono's prayer for healing over and over every day and I have become another person, so much more at peace with myself, no matter what happens in my life.
I feel that this simple technique is very powerful. I have integrated the Ho’oponopono with EFT.
I tap the Ho oponopono’s prayer for healing, on all the EFT Tapping Points. I start with the Set Up, telling for example:
“Even though I have this issue (specifying it), I love you, I’m sorry, Please Forgive me, Thank you.
Then I tap a statement on every EFT Tapping Point.
Important note: This site is provided as a good faith effort to expand the use of EFT in the world. My EFT work is based on my own experience and extraordinary results, and it is conducted independently from Gary Graig, EFT founder. Complete understanding of EFT and the EFT training videos are available at http://www.emofree.com. While EFT has produced remarkable clinical results, it must still be considered to be in the experimental stage and thus practitioners and the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it.
