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!

2015-12-02 Moon Square Saturn T-Squares (mutable and others)

Moon Square Saturn happens about once a month and, although it tends to be an unpleasant aspect, it is a fairly ordinary (very nearly boring) aspect.  This month, however, the Moon interacts with Saturn square Neptune (still in full force since the first perfection on November 26th), and a T-Square forms.  Other T-Squares are active (including Mars / Pluto / Uranus), and, so, this time the aspect is quite a bit more unpleasant than usual.  As is always true, the potential to harness this unpleasant energy to “get something done” exists if you are elevated enough / smart enough to use it that way.  Here is the chart, filtered for T-Squares:

Aloo-Dum-Potato-Curry
Recipe by “A Taste of Aussie”

This is an exotic delicious main dish or it can be used as a side dish. Just the smell of Aloo Dum can make you hungry!  To make this dish, potatoes are fried and then soaked in the spicy aromatic gravy. This is a perfect dish for any dinner party.

Ingredients
  1. 4 medium size potatoes
  2. 2 tablespoons oil
  3. 1 teaspoon cumin seed
  4. ⅛ teaspoon asafoetida
  5. 1 tablespoon besan (chickpea flour)
  6. 6 whole red chillies
  7. ¼ cup yoghurt
  8. 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  9. 1 tablespoon desiccated coconut
  10. ½ cm knob fresh ginger
  11. 1 green chilli, or adjust to taste
  12. 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  13. 1 tablespoon fennel seed
  14. ½ teaspoon turmeric
  15. ½ teaspoon red chilli powder, or to taste
  16. ½ teaspoon paprika
  17. 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  18. ½ teaspoon garam masala
  19. about 2 tablespoons chopped coriander
  20. oil to fry
Instructions
  1. Peeled and cut the potatoes into 1 cm cubes.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat. Frying pan should have at least 2 cm of oil. To check if the oil is ready, put one piece of potato in the oil. The potato should sizzle right away. If potatoes are fried on low heat they will be very oily.
  3. Fry the potatoes till they are cooked through; turn the potatoes few times while frying. Take out potatoes with a slotted spoon (this allows excess oil to drip back into the frying pan) and place on a paper towel. Keep aside.
  4. Heat the pan on medium heat and stir-fry the sesame seeds for about a minute until seeds lightly change colour. Take them out and keep aside.
  5. Blend sesame seeds, coconut, ginger, green chilli, and mix it into a paste. Use water as needed to blend into paste.
  6. In a small bowl mix, sesame paste, yoghurt, ginger, green chilli, ground coriander, fennel seed, paprika, red chilli powder, and turmeric into a paste. Keep aside.
  7. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil; if seed cracks right away oil is ready.
  8. Add the asafoetida and cumin seeds. After the cumin seeds crack, add whole red chilli and besan (gram flour). Stir-fry for about half a minute until the besan is golden-brown.
  9. Add the spice paste and stir-fry for about 2 minutes on medium heat until the spices starts to separate from the oil.

We live in a society where every other day, there seems to be new special on TV or breaking news online about yet another food or product that’s been classified as a carcinogen, another reason to fear our cellphones and worry about what’s really in our drinking water.

La’au Lapa’au ~ Herbalogy ~ Using Agua Sacral vs. Florida Water

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Agua Sacral is a Lemurian Formula containing Palo Santos and used to integrate lost parts of the personality – not soul fragments, but has more of an integrative nature. Although Palo Santos has a very strong clearing property both personal and environmental, the use of Agua Sacral has an integrative property for the retrieval of personality fragments.

Florida Water has been preserved in Santeria which can be traced back to Yoruban traditions to the Egyptian Mystery Schools, which go back to Atlantis. Florida Water is used to clear astral entities before attachment, negative thought forms and unwanted energy. Florida is also used for other ritual purposes, including fire magic.

Pohaku La’au ~ Elestial Crystals

Elestials are quartz crystals that are many expressing themselves as one. These crystals are ancient and tune their energy to their keepers. There are many frequencies that the crystal can tune to simultaneously. The crystal will help people find answers, especially when they grid their rooms and offices with them. Also, elestials can be added to grids to provide a grounding and speeding up motion. A keeper will never outgrow his elestial as the crystal brings in the highest frequency the keeper can process.

WHAT IS A MYSTIC?

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

DOLPHIN-SMILE

A mystic is not a magician or a crystal-ball-gazer. A mystic is rather a person who has had an experience of God’s love so unmistakable that it changes him or her forever, imparting a confidence that cannot be shaken, a humility that cannot be doubted, a freedom that exudes love and gentleness and authenticity. A mystic knows from experience, not books, that we are each beautiful beyond our understanding, loved beyond our capacity to love, united beyond our perceptions of difference and division.

Affirmation … “My efforts are rewarded.”

GOLDEN PATH-MONTREAL

I appreciate the value of making an effort. Exerting myself helps me to learn and grow. Buckling down to a task builds my confidence. As my victories multiply, I can see my talents and abilities more clearly. I understand my strengths and how to leverage them.

Making a sincere effort strengthens my relationships. I earn trust and respect from others. I contribute to making my world a better place.

I cultivate my friendships. I express my concern and compassion for others. I let them know that they are important to me. My actions show them that they are worth my time.

I volunteer for challenging assignments and collaborate with my colleagues.

I devote my leisure time to meaningful activities. I develop my talents.

I take care of my health. I stay fit by exercising each day, eating nutritious foods, and managing stress.

I practice my faith. Prayer and meditation give me the motivation to persevere.

Today, I work smart and hard. My achievements mean more to me when I put effort into accomplishing them.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Why is it beneficial to value the process of working as well as the outcome?
2. What is one example of a dream that I worked hard to fulfill?
3. What is the difference between false pride and a healthy sense of accomplishment?

Just like many other geographical spaces that have been colonized, the Hawaiian Islands began as a sovereign and independent entity with their own societal structure and customs. After the initial invasion of western civilization beginning mainly in the late 18th century, native Hawaiian culture was destroyed through foreign societal and legislative systems, eventually leading to the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian government on January 17, 1893. After two illicit attempts by the U.S. to acquire Hawaiian sovereignty by a treaty of annexation, theHawaiian government was forcibly overthrown …

HAWAIIAN CREATION | Devin Blanch – Academia.edu

In the beginning there was only endless darkness.Out of this darkness, two beings were born; the male Kumulipo, whose name means “The essence of darkness” and the female Po’ele whose name means “darkness itself”.
These two created all the creatures of the total darkness; the shellfish that live at the very bottom of the ocean floor,the plants that grow during the dark of night and the grubs that burrow in the earth. As these creatures were born the dark became slightly lighter.The first beings gave birth to the male Pouliuli whose name means “deep darkness” and the female Powehiwehi, whose name means “darkness with a little light”.
This couple created all the creatures of the almost-darkness; they created the fish that swim in the deep seas and land creatures that live in almost in darkness.
These dark creatures had offspring, and with every new life, the deep darkness of this world got a little brighter.The second couple gave birth to a third: the male Po’el’ele, whose name means “night” and the female Pohaha,whose name means “coming into dawn”.
These two created the creatures of the darkness-near-dawn; the insects that fly by night, the caterpillar, the grass-hopper and a large egg.
The egg hatched into thousands of birds. These were the birds that fly and sing in the hours just before dawn.The fish, the birds and the insects all had offspring- each new creature added some light to the darkness, until it was getting closer to the light we have in the hours before dawn.
Next to be born were Popanopano and Polalowwehi who gave birth to sea-turtles, lobsters and other shellfish that live in shallow waters in near-darkness. They gave birth to the male Po’hiolo and the female Po’ne’a’aku. Their names mean “night ending”. They produced the rat Pilo’I and Kamapua, the pig, both creatures of day and night.
By this time it was almost dawn and the earth was already buzzing with the life from so many creations. These twocreated the first dawn and light finally came into the world.
The first man, Ki’i and the first woman La’ila’a were born — they were both dark since they were born just at dawn. The first man and first woman had many children. With each generation, their skins became lighter and lighter until they became the color they are now.

Affirmation ~ I Accept The Timing Of Experiences In My Life

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

GRIDI approach each new day with gusto and open arms. Even when I am faced with the unexpected, I manage it without complaining.

I embrace the unknown path ahead of me. Instead of feeling down about how long things are taking to happen, I make the most of the here and now. Each moment I get to live is a chance to live well.

I have goals that are important to me, yet I am patient in going after them. I look at hiccups in my journey as opportunities to better prepare myself for success.

I am able to make room for other experiences. And those experiences shape a future that is just right for me.

Instead of resisting what is in front of me, I take hold of it. I use it to my advantage and come out successfully at the end. This approach allows me to accept my situation.

Today, my focus is on making the most of whatever life lays before me. I accept that the experiences of today are the ones I am meant to have. I am content with where I am today because I know it prepares me for better things tomorrow.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. How creative am I in making the most out of an unfavorable situation?
2. How do I encourage myself to stay positive in the face of unattained goals?
3. How does peace of mind impact my ability to accept what life throws my way?
