About the Authors

Joe Vitale

Joe Vitale is a self-help author, speaker, and marketing expert known for his work in the law of attraction, manifestation, and spiritual transformation. He was featured in "The Secret" and has written numerous books on personal development, abundance, and self-mastery.

Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len

Dr. Hew Len is a Hawaiian therapist and spiritual teacher who became widely known for his work with Ho'oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian healing practice. He famously helped heal an entire ward of criminally insane patients without directly interacting with them, simply by applying Ho'oponopono to himself.

About the Book

"Zero Limits" introduces Ho'oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian practice of self-cleansing, forgiveness, and spiritual alignment. It teaches how this simple but powerful method can erase limiting beliefs, heal emotional wounds, and attract abundance by clearing negativity within yourself. The central idea is that everything in your life is a reflection of your inner state, and by cleaning your inner world, you transform your outer world.

Summary

Vitale and Hew Len's "Zero Limits" presents Ho'oponopono as a transformational technique for self-improvement, spiritual growth, and personal healing. Key lessons from the book include:

1. Everything is Energy and Connected: Your outer world reflects your inner world. If there's a problem in your life, you must take full responsibility for it, even if it seems unrelated to you. Taking responsibility empowers you to clear negativity and shift your reality.

2. The Power of Ho'oponopono: Ho'oponopono is a simple but powerful four-step mantra. Repeating the phrases below helps cleanse negative energy, subconscious blockages, and emotional wounds.

Step 1: I'm sorry (acknowledging and taking responsibility for stored negativity).
Step 2: Please forgive me (asking for forgiveness for any unconscious limiting beliefs).
Step 3: Thank you (expressing gratitude for the opportunity to heal and grow).
Step 4: I love you (sending unconditional love to yourself and the world).

3. Taking 100% Responsibility for Everything in Your Life: You are responsible for everything you experience, not just what you actively create but even what seems to happen to you. This does not mean blame; it means empowerment. If you take responsibility, you can also clear, heal, and transform any situation. Cleaning yourself leads to a better external reality.

4. The Story of Dr. Hew Len's Miraculous Healing: Dr. Hew Len transformed an entire psychiatric hospital for criminally insane patients without treating them in person. By practicing Ho'oponopono on their files, repeating "I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you" to cleanse their own consciousness, patients began to heal. The lesson is that healing starts within you. As you clear your own energy, everything around you improves.

5. The Concept of Zero Limits: Zero state = No resistance, no negative programming, no limits. You access infinite potential when you clean your mind of old beliefs, fears, and traumas. By clearing mental clutter, inspiration flows naturally, leading to effortless success.

6. How to Apply Ho'oponopono in Daily Life: Use the four phrases anytime you feel stress, anger, fear, or resistance. You don't need to direct them at a specific person, just repeat them mentally to clear any negative energy. The more you practice, the more peace, clarity, and abundance you attract.

7. Letting Go of Ego and Trusting the Divine: Your conscious mind does not control everything. Trust the Universe to guide you. Stop forcing outcomes. Instead, clear negativity and allow inspired action to emerge. Miracles happen when you surrender and let the Divine lead.

8. Cleaning Your Subconscious Blocks: Many limiting beliefs are deeply rooted in the subconscious mind. Ho'oponopono clears past trauma, societal conditioning, and negative programming. The more you clean, the more you allow abundance, love, and happiness to flow.

Through these principles, "Zero Limits" serves as a guide to inner healing, limitless potential, and spiritual transformation through self-cleansing and personal responsibility.

Reader Reviews

I've read many books on the Law of Attraction. Many offer the concept that we each create our own reality. This always bothered me. If I create my own reality, why is it so flawed? I always wondered why I would have created my own reality to include a world with so many problems - massive problems like poverty and violence - whether I'm directly affected by such things or not. None of the books I read ever answered this question - until now. In Zero Limits, Joe Vitale introduced me to Ho'oponopono. I'd heard about the book and about this Hawaiian philosophy for some months before I became interested in reading about it. I liked most of Vitale's other books, and this one seemed to offer something extra, so I read it.

 

I'm glad I did. Finally, I got an answer to my question. As I understand Ho'oponopono (and my understanding is elementary) I am 100% responsible for my reality. Any problems I encounter or become aware of exist simply because of flawed memories from my personal history, my genetic heritage, and my past lives - memories I am not even consciously aware of - but have somehow brought forward to this point in time to be forgiven, cleaned, and erased, so that I can know greater harmony and peace with life, others, myself, and the universe. The book gives a simple four-step formula for cleaning and erasing those memories.

 

I also enjoyed the story about Joe's personal journey in finding Dr. Hew Len and learning about Ho'oponopono.

 

I still have a few remaining questions - but then I'd have to learn more about Ho'oponopono to find the answers.

I feel like I found the perfect tool for turning the act of loving into a habit and way of life. I thought I was already a loving person, but that included a lot of worrying and complaining. Now that I have this new (to me) wisdom, I can see how things disappeared or got worse in my life because I complained so much instead of appreciating and practicing the Ho'oponopono way.

 

For example, I bitched about having to go to the grocery store routinely, without considering that the blessing to have money, transportation, and all the abundance of food selections, is not on the same frequency as complaints. I saw my favorite, most convenient stores disappear. I stayed worried about money. I attracted unkind store experiences and experienced a two-year stomach issue that wouldn't let me eat much of anything.

 

Now, using the Ho' method as I'm walking by others and at the checkout while I'm paying, has helped me see the difference in vibration that I'm broadcasting big time. I'm eating whatever I want, and I keep getting unexpected sums of money. Life feels 10 times lighter. I had a bout of fear and worry, but I loved my way back into feeling good. This is the perfect tool for emotional balance, alignment, and transformation. Thank you, Joe Vitale, I love you.

A truly transformative book! Read how Dr Hew Len healed criminally, mentally ill patients in a mental hospital without seeing a single patient. A place that started as dark, decrepit, and extremely violent, and ended lively, peaceful, and safe to the point of closing the doors permanently. How, without ever seeing patients? A little thing called Ho’Oponopono! It’s a prayer he says to heal/clean HIMSELF, which in turn heals others. It’s all about taking full responsibility for everything that touches your life… even if "it’s not your fault".

The Prayer:

  1. I’m sorry
  2. Forgive me
  3. Thank you
  4. I love you

This is a 10/10 recommend!!

Joe Vitale has done a great job in presenting a hard-to-grasp concept. Ho'oponono is itself mind-blowing yet simple. Joe's conversational manner of sharing his own discovery of this Hawaiian healing method is easy to follow and understand. Yet it does take a reread to fully grasp what one has just read. To be able to heal illness, relationships, finances, and even cleanse food and water with simple mental exercises is hard for us mortals to comprehend. But it is the simplicity of the whole thing that makes it easy to learn and for anyone to apply. Having met Dr. Len recently at one of his seminars, I understand now better what it means to let go and let God, to get to the Zero point, that place in our consciousness where there is no lack. As both Joe and Dr. Len point out, all of our troubles are caused by memories playing out in our minds. It's when we clear these that healing can happen.

This is a lovely way to live your life! This book is changing the way we look at the world and everyone around us. I live in Hawaii and am happy to have read this book and passed it on to many of my loved ones. I have bought many copies and shared them with my friends, only to hear the same story each time of how it has changed their lives. It is a powerful book if you let it in and apply the principles. This is a wonderful peek into a culture that is more beautiful and powerful than you can ever imagine. This book has the ability to put you in the vortex if you let it.

This secret Hawaiian System is so powerful and awesome! I began following the instructions in the book and thought, "This isn't working!" Then I realized several things: I felt more at peace with myself and my surroundings. I became more aware of the things happening around me and began taking 100% responsibility for it (whether I wanted to or not). I began receiving ideas (inspiration) for ways to improve my life. All of this happened AFTER I read the book and followed Dr. Hew Len's and Dr. Vitale's instructions. If you want to improve your life and your relationships, and your perspective on life, this is a MUST READ.

Joe Vitale admits that what he has learned from Ho’oponopono Master Ihaleakala Hew Len has changed how he feels about all the other dozens, or is it hundreds, of books he has written. Joe is a great writer, and I still, even after reading this one, love all the books he’s written, including those I haven’t yet gotten to. Actually, I love everything now, responsible for everything in my creation now, which is the heart of the Ho’oponopono healing teaching. Wow, what a great book! Plan to hang out with this one for a while. This book is not only a life changer, it’s a Universe changer.

Very important work in understanding how limitless our lives really are. Awesomely positive and inspirational!  

Joe took a little-known event, which happened to be a Hawaiian Shaman who healed the criminally insane -- not by looking at them -- but by looking inside himself.

 

This is a brilliant book and should be a "must-read" for every child in the world.
