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!

Tarot Contemplation – Ten of Wands

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

This card shows up when someone’s enthusiasm has resulted in them taking on a lot of responsibility, so much responsibility that they feel overburdened or resentful.  When we try to do too much we are often unable to do anything effectively.  When we’re doing too much, we miss opportunities for new inspiration and growth.  We may even be at risk of physical or emotional injury.  This card reminds us to pare down, remember our priorities and eliminate the unnecessary.  Take stock of your priorities.  Is everything you do serving your ultimate goals, or have you acquired some habits that take your time and energy with very little payoff?  Delegate responsibility to someone else.  You may think that if you don’t do it, it won’t get done right.  Try taking a step back to see what happens.  You may be surprised!  So, for today, all the things you’ve let pile up are dragging you down.  When we get stuff done, it boosts our energy and fires up our momentum.  So start tackling that to-do list today.  This might mean delegating tasks, or crossing things out that really aren’t that important to you.  Clear out the energetic clutter in your life and prepare to be revitalized.

Sensing Energy – Beginners

Energy healing seems to be  a concept that seems to plant many seeds of misinterpretation. Thanks to pop culture we have some pretty grandiose ideas for what energy healing is or could be. A wizard’s wand sending big blue swaths of firefly light that penetrates the chest of the hero, readying her to go kill the dragon. As epic as that would be, magick in movies and TV are visually pumped up for theatrics. In reality, it is more accurately equated to Popeye eating a can of spinach and having super-muscles.

We will dive into the nuance of energy philosophy in subsequent posts. Today I am here to empower you to start working on your subtle energy sense right away.

A few things to know, energy flows in spiral or vibrations. It’s how we hear sound, how light bounces off of things to reflect what we perceive as color, it is our life force…

Daily Words of the Buddha for June 10, 2017

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment
Pāli Word a Day for June 10, 2017 — bujjhati — to be awake, to be enlightened, to perceive, to know, recognise, understand

Imesu kira sajjanti,
Eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā;
Viggayha naṃ vivadanti
Janā ekaṅgadassino.

Some recluses and brahmins, so called,
Are deeply attached to their own views;
People who only see one side of things
Engage in quarrels and disputes.

Tarot Contemplation – Ten of Pentacles

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Today, chances are you are feeling like you have everything you need, maybe even everything you want.  Give thanks for the gifts and experiences of you ancestors, or the vast body of knowledge created by the masters in your vacation.  This is the legacy that has brought you to where you are now.  You are taking your place in this lineage.  How do you want to be remembered?  The Ten of Pentacles is about physical security.  It could mean a successful financial venture, an inheritance, or an auspicious partnership.  It is also a card of traditions so could represent a holiday celebration or doing things the way they have always been done.  If you have a question about what you should do, think back to the way your elders would solve the problem.  The warning with this card is that you may be thinking that financial wealth is the only kind of wealth there is, and may be forgetting about spiritual and emotional wealth.  Is there a cost that you have not considered in achieving the comfort of your desire?

Norimitsu Odachi: Who Could Have Possibly Wielded This Enormous 15th Century Japanese Sword? | Ancient Origins

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

The Norimitsu Odachi is a huge sword from Japan. It is so large, in fact, that it was said to have been wielded by a giant. Apart from the basic knowledge of it having been forged in the 15th century AD, measuring 3.77 meters (12.37 ft.) in length, and weighing as much as 14.5 kg (31.97 lbs.), this impressive sword is shrouded in mystery.

Deconstructed Turon Napoleon A La Mode

I came up with this recipe about a year ago when trying to come up with a menu for a friend’s 40th birthday.  Okay, so the name isn’t very catchy but this dessert is positively addictive! Cake was settled on for the party but I’ve been making this ever since.  The inspiration for this dessert came from two separate sources: 1) my friend Victoria’s mother’s awesome turon; and 2) a dessert from Slanted Door in San Francisco – tapioca pudding with a brown sugar ginger sauce. When I first dreamed it up, the dish came out like this.

But then I wondered – what if I deconstructed it?  I find the ginger sauce combined with the lumpia wrappers and plantains mirror the stickiness of turon perfectly, while the ginger sauce with the ice cream and whipped cream complement each other in a really unexpected way.  Mix it all together in a napoleon…

Brown Sugar Ginger Sauce

The inspiration for this sauce comes from a dessert The Slanted Door in San Francisco used to sell.  It was a house made tapioca pudding, drizzled in a dark sauce and topped with diced fruit.  It was divine.  I was sad when they quit selling the dessert so I set out to make the sauce on my own.  Warning:  This sauce is highly addictive and, once you try it, you will start looking for things on which to drizzle its dark, golden goodness.

IMG_1914Brown Sugar Ginger Sauce

1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger root (not powdered)
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup molasses
¼ cup orange juice
1 teaspoon butter

Place all ingredients in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat.  Stir to combine well.  Stir occasionally until boiling.  Boil around 30 seconds.  Remove from heat , whisk in butter and let cool.  Drizzle on ice cream, coconut sticky rice, pudding…

Archeology:   Breathtaking Ancient Technology that leaves us Awe Struck [FULL VIDEO] – YouTube

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Dating back thousands of years are numerous examples of ancient technology that leave us awe-struck at the lost knowledge of ancient civilizations. They were the result of incredible advances in engineering and innovation as advanced civilizations emerged and came to dominate the ancient world. Here we feature ancient technology history and dozens of amazing artifacts that reflect the brilliance of ancient inventors.

In this video we take a closer look at striking examples of advanced ancient technologies that were far ahead of their times. Some of these sophisticated ancient inventions were later re-invented by our modern society, but not all. There is no doubt ancient people possessed highly advanced knowledge in a number of areas. We also look at objects have become known as out of place artifacts, or “OOPArts” for short. An OOPArt, by definition, is one that contradicts our existing understanding of history. Some of the OOPArts in this video will prove history wrong.

Metaphysics:  3 Ways to Lucid Dream – wikiHow

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Lucid dreaming occurs when you’re aware that you’re dreaming, giving you the power to control what happens in the dream. It’s also a skill you can learn! Get into the habit of performing this reality check a couple times a day: close your mouth and pinch your nose. Obviously, you won’t be able to breathe. When you do this in a dream, however, you’ll find that you can do this for an infinite amount of time. Now, fly!
