Aloha Ke 'Ākua! Māhālo nūi lōa for visiting Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila! We established our Sanctuary for the exploration and awakening of consciousness, the unfolding of our collective creative and healing potential and realisation of our essential Unity. Our teachings arise out of direct experience of awakened awareness and emanates the untamable fragrance of freedom whilst radically embracing the mystery and mess of human existence. Our invitation is for you to open to the fullness of life, to say YES to the totality of your experience and to meet reality with radical compassion. Our doors are an open invitation to all who seek authentic freedom and are willing to meet heart to heart in honest and open inquiry. We were taught that the goal of life is to move through life walking up the mountain of experiences with your Aloha, your Bowl of Light. Life is filled with lessons to learn and teaching moments along the way. When you become angry or jealous, you drop those stones into your bowl of light and those rocks cause leaks in your Mana-sacred power. When your bowl becomes filled with stones, you become a stone that cannot grow. No Aloha! The solution is that at any moment, you can turn your bowl upside down emptying these stones out of your bowl to naturally refill it with YOUR golden light -- your natural Aware and Awakened state of Aloha, your natural state of Divinity. This is the power of Pure Aloha: an Awakened Heart Awakens the Mind. Awakening hinges on your genuine desire for the discovery of your true nature. If it is to flower in you, you must truly want liberation from everything that is false in you, you must want to give yourself totally to the inquiry into what is true beyond all inherited concepts, ideas and beliefs. The purpose of our teachings is to ignite this wanting in you. When the flame of this desire becomes an untamable fire, it flips a switch inside of you and the direction of your destiny is irrevocably altered. It’s like turning on the light only to discover that you are this light. This in itself is extra-ordinary: even though you may have heard the words a thousand times, nothing can prepare you for the naked reality that is revealed. And yet the living experience of this revelation is very ordinary: you have simply re-discovered the innocent wholeness of your essential nature. It’s the you that never was and never will be separate from anything at all. This discovery is the end of suffering and the beginning of freedom. But awakening is just the beginning. The adventure begins, not in the rarified atmosphere of transcendence, but in the midst of the chaos of life. And living the truth of awakening has perhaps never been more of an imperative than in today’s rapidly changing world. The invitation is for you to awaken to the pristine perfection of your inner light and then to fully embody and express this light amidst the mystery and mess of human existence. Come join us!

Pāli Word a Day for March 09, 2019 — kataññū — kata + ññū = what is done + knowing, acknowledging what has been done (to, for one), grateful

Idha modati pecca modati;
katapuñño ubhayattha modati.
So modati so pamodati,
disvā kammavisuddhimattano.

The doer of good rejoices here and hereafter;
one rejoices in both the worlds.
One rejoices and exults,
recollecting one’s own pure deeds.

To hear my full insight into today’s World card, be sure to listen to the video included with this post. Think back to what was happening in your life back in July, right around the 12th, give or take, at the time of the Solar Eclipse in Cancer. Something from that week is being brought up today. Typically, when we see the World, it signifies such things as cycles, completion, and success. If you follow me on Patreon, or my Members Only Area on Facebook, then you may recall a special Tarot Guidance I put out in August titled ‘The Finish Line’, which outlined making it basically to this point in time. If so, you will remember that I said at every Finish Line there is another Starting Line.

Events of this week, and leading up until now, especially since Uranus made its move into Taurus two days ago, are…

Card of the Day – Queen of Swords – Wednesday, March 6, 2019

New Moon blessings, everyone!  Today is the New Moon occurring at 15° Pisces, a positive New Moon indeed, but there is so much more happening.  Mercury retrograded yesterday at 29° Pisces, surely putting the old fog machine on HIGH, so you will have to go back over a few things before your new beginning can begin.  Early today, a few hours before the New Moon, Uranus, planet of shock and surprise, left Aries to take up residence in Taurus until April 26, 2026.

So, who else picked up on our Queen of Swords showing up exactly on the New Moon?  She is beautiful, but perhaps a bit temperamental.  Don’t poke the bear; New Moons have a way of bringing out razor-sharp tongues, and once those words are out there, they are impossible to retrieve.  Normally, she possesses the mental acuity and determination to make things happen, but all of this…

I never want to be seen as an equal to settler society.

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

indigenousmotherhood's avatarindigenous motherhood

I never want to be seen as an equal to settler society.

Nor do I ever want to be seen as an equal in the eyes of the colonizer.

And I never want to be seen as “successful” within colonial systems.

It started when I was young.

It was lurking in the beginning stages of public speaking, of meeting with ministers, of being groomed in this space of false indigeniety to achieve colonial success.

It was intertwined in the statements of “you are going to be the next Prime Minister of Canada!” And the “you are so resilient. This is your line of work!”

I would sit there and melt into this feeling of success. These feelings of “I’m gonna do something big with my life.”

The feelings of “I am destined for greatness.”

But the greatness I thought I was destined for was only colonial greatness.

These colonial systems…

Pisces is the last in the circle of 12 signs of the Zodiac. All circles are infinite and have no beginning and no end.  

All New Moons mark the beginning of a new cycle as the moon disappears for 2.1/2 days. This is a very powerful New Moon to set new intentions with and to release the past for many reasons. Pisces represents the end of life and the return to the source from where we came. It is a sign or release, of letting go, of forgiveness and compassion and releasing from the physical world to join with our ancestors. Pisces is the completion of our human journey and now we have to deal with whatever karma we have experienced and accumulated in our lifetime and to prepare for the next soul adventures.

2019 PISCES NEW MOON begins RABBIT MONTH

MERCURY RETROGRADE

From March 5 to March 28, communication planet Mercury is retrograde in Water sign Pisces.
People communicate through their emotions. Impressions are strong, but not always clearly conveyed. If there are miscommunications, wait out the Mercury retrograde cycle to discuss it.

Apply the usual Mercury retrograde precautions such as allowing extra time for travel, driving slowly and carefully, and backing up important technology files.

FIRE RABBIT Month March 6 – April 4

March 6 is a new Moon in Pisces. The new Moon, Sun, Mercury, and Neptune are all in Pisces. This planetary stellium can inspire dreams and ideas about new goals. People are guided by their emotions, and have increased sensitivity to their surroundings. You can succeed by following your hunches, and being receptive to the feelings of others. Some dreams can become reality as Mars in Taurus trines Saturn in Capricorn, bringing inspirational concepts down to…

Card of the Day – Judgement – Tuesday, March 5, 2019

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

This is a pretty perfect card for today when you consider everything that is happening right now. Mercury, at 29° Pisces, retrogrades today through the 28th, Uranus, at 29° Aries, moves into Taurus tomorrow, and Chiron is at 0° Aries. We have some huge endings going on, ready to bring forth new beginnings.

When we look at the Judgement card, we typically see souls rising up, as an angel blows a trumpet. Important life moments are taking place now; your judgment at this point is critical. What are you being called to do? Answering a calling and making such choices very often lead one to a rebirth. Mercury will be leaving shadow on April 16, then entering Aries on the 17th. You will have clarity then and an understanding of this phase and why you were called upon for this judgment to be made.

See you here tomorrow!

Pāli Word a Day for March 5, 2019 — ekāhika— ephemeral

Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā
Ātāpino jhāyato brāhmaṇassa,
Athassa kaṅkhā vapayanti sabbā
Yato pajānāti sahetudhammaṃ.

When things become manifest
To the ardent meditating brahmin,
All one’s doubts then vanish since one understands
Each thing along with its cause.
