And here’s another:
As an interventionist, one of the largest obstacles
that I help clients eliminate or navigate through is
drama. In The Celestine Prophecy by James
Redfield, the concept of a “control dramas” is
defined:“We must face up to our particular way
of controlling others. Remember, the Fourth
Insight reveals that humans have always felt short
of energy and have sought to control each other
to acquire the energy that flows between people.”
Incorporating this concept into a more
interventionistic model has allowed my own
technique some intuition in cases where clients
were distracted from their purpose or outcomes.
Joe Vitale first introduced Ho’oponopono to me,
though he may not actually know this. So on the
one hand, I have the concept of drama or control
dramas, and as an interventionist I require a
balancing-out tool in order not just to understand
a client but to assist the client back to full use of
his or her resources.
“Getting back to zero” was the balancer I had not
yet perfectly framed before Dr.Vitale led me into
the world of Dr. Hew Len. In the Western world,
especially the United States, our mainstream
culture and its pervasive messages are all geared
to get us to move from ourselves toward the
flashy instant gratification of the consumer-crazy
world we live in.“From zero to 60” couldn’t be
any more perfect as a catchphrase to define the
emotional movement of a world addicted to consumption.
What Ho’oponopono has helped me understand is
that healing and true fulfillment come from
moving “from 60 to zero.” So many metaphysical
constructs include the idea of “detachment” but
it never seemed like a complete or perfect
concept to me. In some instances trying to
achieve perfect detachment just seemed silly.
Now, however, with getting back to zero I
really grasp the dynamic of detachment and
how to get there.
It’s been 10 months since I had the good fortune
to meet Dr. Hew Len at Joe’s interview with him
high atop the Hyatt overlooking the Colorado
River. Much has been transformed in me and in
my family’s life.All my parents and in-laws are
suddenly making huge shifts in their patterns and
discovering they have manifested their dreams on
a grand scale. My in-laws have purchased a half-
million-dollar home to retire in that is one of the
most peaceful places I’ve ever been (just down
the road from Joe’s house). My mother has
worked through physical and emotional obstacles,
only to find herself marrying again and being
very excited about her senior romance. I’ve
suddenly had a stream-of-income shift myself in a
field that didn’t allow me to cultivate and
demonstrate my greatest strengths. My father
(72 years young) has finally broken an income
chain that had him commuting from Houston to
Prudhoe Bay,
Alaska (fifth most northern town in the world)
every six weeks. One of my oldest friends has
completely uprooted a very set-in-his-ways life
and come to Austin where he is currently
developing his own company and living a totally
different paradigm. My brother-in-law is finally
moving into his own home. My sister-in-law and
her husband are moving from the suburbs onto a
dream property themselves. My godniece, who
just started high school this year, has already
been in a prime-time TV series and was nominat
-ed as Homecoming Queen.And her mother has
just been offered the most lucrative business
opportunity of her life.All this has started and
been brought to fruition since February 2006,
when I first heard about Ho’ponopono. Suddenly
my day-to-day living is filled with experiences
that are colorful and fun again after having spent
the past 17 years being serious and dreary.
Life is a habit, so I’ve been acquiring the habit of a good life.
I’m not in any way an expert on Ho’oponopono. It
is still very new to me and I will not predict
where it leads my life experience. I am grateful for
Dr.Vitale revealing the world of Ho’oponopono
through thepresentation that Dr. Hew Len made
those short months ago.Whether it be in my
personal life with my beautiful wife or in my
business life, reaching the zero state, 100 percent
responsibility, apology, and forgiveness are
powerful choices that have made a powerful
impact in my life.Thank you, Joe, and thank you,
Dr. Hew Len.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Joe,
I wanted to give you a great big thank-you for
bringing Dr. Hew Len to Austin.The program was
wonderful, leaving me filled with new
understanding about life and how universal laws
govern our health and happiness. Please allow
me to expand.
First off, I want to say that I am certainly not an
expert on the practice of Ho’oponopono. So
please forgive me if I’m reading too much into
what was shared, but here’s what I walked away
with after just one evening’s experience.
Dr. Hew Len talked a lot about something very
dear to my heart—the art of going to zero. In
fact, this seems to be a centerpiece of
Ho’oponopono. Being a martial artist and qigong
teacher for many years now, I have come to regard this ability of
cleaning and emptying the mind (going to zero)
as one of the greatest gifts known to mankind.
Dr. Hew Len reminded us of the importance of
living in a state of openness, cleansing our
internal reactions, and going to zero. I was in
complete agreement with his outlook on life and
thrilled to meet another human being on this
planet who shares about truths I have come to
love.
In the art and practice of qigong (internal martial
art energy exercise), there is a very specific way
to breathe and circulate our body’s internal
energy.The ancient martial arts masters have
discovered that there are universal laws working
within our bodies and when we learn how to move
our internal energy in a circular fashion we can
create high levels of vibrant health and
profoundly raise our consciousness.This process
is often referred to as the microcosmic orbit.
(Fundamentally put—we breathe in and direct the
life-force energy inside the breath down the front
of our body into the lower belly region (an area
known as the Dan Tien). Next we direct the
energy up our spine and finally back around to the
front.This ongoing process creates a microcosmic
orbit within our energy-body, uplifting our health
and our consciousness.)
When Dr. Hew Len used a diagram to explain
Ho’oponopono and show how communication
and consciousness between people best flow in
a circular direction, I was immediately struck by
its similarity to the microcosmic orbit. In fact, it
was off-the-charts exciting to see how the
universe works with circles in a way I’d never
realized before.
Through the diagram he drew I finally understood
how most of the time we try to relate to people
in a bidirectional, linear fashion.We talk at each
other; we argue, negotiate, point the finger, and
so on—and this all takes place in a horizontal
direction.
However, I saw that by moving in an entirely
different direction, we could effect the greatest
change and the deepest connection with another
human being—and that direction was a circle. For
me, Dr. Hew Len’s diagram showed that by first
going to zero—down beneath the conscious layer
of the mind—we can let go of our reactions and
attachments to what we are perceiving.We can
then begin to rise up toward the superconscious
state and eventually tap into Divine awareness.
The Divine can carry our clear and loving
intention down toward the other person, basically
sneaking in the backdoor of their conscious mind,
allowing for a pure and unfiltered connection and
relating.
All I can say is it works like nothing else ever has.
For example, just last week I was in a business
meeting and the person on the other side of the
table was asking for things that I initially felt
were unfair and selfish. I caught myself tightening
up within, and I remembered the diagram and the
benefit of the circular direction, so I decided to
stop fighting and I just let go.
First I connected to my breath and went to zero.
Internally, I felt my awareness lifting up (just like
the qigong exercise that I described earlier) and
my disposition changed immediately. If I had
spoken what I was feeling inside it would have
been,“I love and support you. Please forgive me
for being hard with you. How can I help you to
feel safe and help both of us get what we are
wanting?”
Next something amazing happened: My friend
(I was no longer seeing the person as an enemy
or a threat) began to change, becoming much
more open and receptive as if having stopped
struggling with some internal conflict.Within 15
minutes we even came up with a solution to our
previous dilemma, a solution that was perfect for
us both—and one that I never could have
conceived of in my previous state of mind.
As the mysteries of life unfold, you begin to see
how everything is connected; everything comes
from universal laws, and one of those laws is
circles. In the movie The Secret, I remember you
said that “the universe likes speed.” I would like
to add that the universe likes circles,too, ☺ ☺
and life certainly flows all the more smoothly
when you know in which direction the circle
wants to go.
So thank you again, Joe.The diagram Dr. Hew Len
used to explain Ho’oponopono has been so
helpful. Seeing this process in a diagram has
given me a great insight and a wonderful tool to
catch when I am forcing things versus letting go
and responding to situations from a state of zero.
Warmly,

Every day since the May Manifestation weekend I
say,“I love you, I’m sorry, forgive me, thank you.”
Nothing much has changed that can be easily
observed, cataloged, or cheered, as I have,
currently, a marvelous life.
Of course, I would like a bundle of wealth so I
could easily visit my daughters and family in
Queensland and my brother in Paris, and take my
husband on the train ride of his dreams.And I’d
like my novels to entertain the world. But these
would be minor gifts compared to what I have now.
The invisible change is incredible.When I say,
“I’m sorry,” I truly do feel responsible for
whatever is in my consciousness at the moment.
I can no longer separate myself from people who
disagree with me.
I have never felt so connected.
I am sorry for what I am doing in Iraq, for one. I
hate to make phone calls but I am making phone
calls all over the country in case I can change
what I am doing in Iraq. It helps me heal.
Because I feel forgiven, I am so very grateful.
BLACKOUT ON DEER CANYON ROAD
Late afternoon—sudden silence
The absence of electrical humming
can be humanizing
I felt electrically alive
No power in any room
in any house
up and down the street
No news of restoration
We bathed in the hot tub
dined outdoors on wine and cheese
conversed in hushed tones
and watched stars
A blackout on Deer Canyon Road

No power in any room

A blackout on Deer Canyon Road
in Arroyo Grande, California—

After I learned about Ho’oponopono from Dr. Hew
Len and Dr.Vitale, I found out that my business is
about constantly cleansing.When I cleanse and
get back to zero, business runs smoothly. I’m
constantly clearing and constantly getting back to
zero, and Dr. Hew Len taught me how to do that.
I took a business colleague to meet Dr. Hew Len
and Dr.Vitale and found we have so much in
common that we went out on a date that same
night. Eight months later we are more in love
than ever.The key is to be with like-minded
people and to forgive and transform.Thank you,
Dr.Hew Len and Dr.Vitale, for bringing
Ho’oponopono to a larger audience.
Also thanks for being the perfect meeting place to
meet my love of my life.
