Ho'oponopono Book Accelerates Meditation Abilities In Human Beings

The Ho'oponopono Book I am referring to is titled Zero Limits, and it was written by Joe Vitale. One would not think that ink on parchment could result in such a thing as an increase in the ability to meditate, but this book does. Indeed, this little epistle is better than a decade of sitting and contemplating.
One has to ask oneself what one is really trying to do when one meditates. The dictionary says, 'to think deeply or focus one's mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation.' This is an interesting definition, and in examining it one can quickly see a problem with meditation.
There is no fault to be found with the idea of focusing the mind, we should all learn to focus our minds. The question here is what purpose are we focusing our minds on? The normal things supplied to us by religions, chants and such, are entirely too vague, and thus our progress is slowed.
If one is focusing on silence, one should ask what is the 'not-silence' that we are trying to cancel? The answer is that what causes chatter in our minds is our relationships with people. All problems, you see, eventually stem from, or come down to, people.
We can chant religious phrases till they come out of our ears, but meanings tend to be vague. Thus, we lose our sense of purpose, and the chant becomes less than meaningful. Wouldn't it be better to handle our mental distractions (caused by people), and thus get rid of that which stops the silence which is necessary to make that chant really work?
This fact holds true for all styles and methods of meditation. Having trouble focusing on your yoga asana, or maybe your Tai Chi Chuan form? Simply apply a little Hooponopono from the book and your practice will accelerate tenfold.
How about your career, or your wife, or that durned kid that won't pick up his clothes? Want to handle that, her or him? Simply read a small tome on an ancient Hawaiian spiritual discipline, apply what you've learned to what you are doing, and all problems are instantly solved.
I know, it sounds too good, too easy, to be true. But the fact is that people are what life is about, and Hooponopono is about handling people. So read the Ho'oponopono book and appy that old Oceanic discipline to your life, accelerate your meditative abilities, and start to enjoy life as you never believed possible.
