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!

Finding Freedom in the Least Likely Places | Wake Up World

So much of our freedom revolves around healing the wounds that have caused us to disavow important aspects of ourselves. Too often we unilaterally gauge freedom in terms of being able to do and have things: lots of money, being able to travel, or being able to act as we like. These are external, feel-good freedoms. But how often do we gauge our freedom by the inner freedom we get to experience from imposing certain external limitations and making sacrifices? By Contributing Writer Jack Adam Weber

Daily Inspiration ~ Undulating With Life

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

UNDULATING

“I breathe in. I breathe out. I am present in my body. I am here and not anywhere else, knowing there is nowhere else to be.

This is meditation. It doesn’t matter how I sit or don’t sit, or how I hold my hands. It is not how still I stay or silencing my mind.

Meditation is noticing my body’s posture, whatever form it takes, and noticing how my hands rest if they are resting, their movements if they are in motion.

It is following the quiet of each breath.

It is stepping back and listening to the music of thoughts, one note at a time, and watching the beauty of cognition.

It is opening space with curiosity for observation and observing, across the hush of that space, the dawn and dusk of joy and sorrow, seeing the winter and spring of laughter and tears, seeing and not changing anything.

It is gently watching the poetry of life breathing without waking it.”

— Quiet Lotus

Theosophy ~ What Is Thought? How Do We Think? (U.G. Krishnamurti)

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

U.G. Krishnamurti is swinging in this discussion. Does your heart know it keeps you alive? Can you ever be free of thoughts? How can someone describe the experience of no thoughts or no ego if there is not an ego or thought there to remember the experience?

This man is a must watch since he trashes all that no-ego, don’t think, you are something special, spiritual – and all that comfortable ego feeding that is promoted and attracts the masses into a never-ending self indulging ”finding myself” ”finding happiness” and whatever.

Courts quietly confirm MMR Vaccine causes Autism | True Activist

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

After decades of passionate debate, parents probably missed the repeated admissions by drug companies and governments alike that vaccines do in fact cause autism. For concerned parents seeking the truth, it’s worth remembering that the exact same people who own the world’s drug companies also own America’s news outlets. Finding propaganda-free information has been difficult, until now.

The Reason Some People Always Focus On The Negative | True Activist

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

If we look at the physical world, we find that negativity is present — ordered things have shown the tendency to become disordered sooner or later, however natural. The same applies to human behavior, however genetic. A new study by a University of British Columbia researcher finds that some people are genetically predisposed to see the world darkly.

CRYSTAL_QUARTZ-CROWN

✣ Dust of the Stars Crown by Elemental Child – Quarz Crystals ✣

Quartz in general are believed to act as an Amplifier of all Energies, Body, Mind and Spirit, and has as many formations as we do personalities. Crystals tend to draw “like minded” Energies to them and can aid in communication with the Higher Realms as they facilitate psychic and Healing Awareness and abilities.

They can be used to Clear and Energize the Energy Centers (Chakras) of the body at all levels.
They are a manifestation of Pure “Love and Light” and are a constant reminder of the blessings of Beauty, Love and Healing.

We pray to the great Spiritual Power in which we live and move and have our being.
 
We pray that we may at all times keep our minds open to new ideas and shun dogma;
 
that we may grow in our understanding of the nature of all living beings and our connectedness with the natural world;
 
that we may become ever more filled with generosity of spirit and true compassion and love for all life;
 
that we may strive to heal the hurts that we have inflicted on nature
and control our greed for material things, knowing that our actions are harming our natural world and the future of our children;
 
that we may value each and every human being for who he is, for who she is,
reaching to the spirit that is within, knowing the power of each individual to change the world.
 
We pray for social justice, for the alleviation of the crippling poverty that condemns millions of people around the world to lives of misery – hungry, sick, and utterly without hope.
 
We pray for the children who are starving, who are condemned to homelessness, slave labor, and prostitution, and especially for those forced to fight, to kill and torture even members of their own family.
 
We pray for the victims of violence and war, for those wounded in body and for those wounded in mind.
 
We pray for the multitudes of refugees, forced from their homes to alien places through war or through the utter destruction of their environment.
 
We pray for suffering animals everywhere, for an end to the pain caused by scientific experimentation, intensive farming, fur farming, shooting, trapping,
training for entertainment, abusive pet owners, and all other forms of exploitation such as overloading and overworking pack animals, bull fighting, badger baiting, dog and cock fighting and so many more.
 
We pray for an end to cruelty, whether to humans or other animals,
for an end to bullying, and torture in all its forms.
 
We pray that we may learn the peace that comes with forgiving and the strength we gain in loving;
 
that we may learn to take nothing for granted in this life;
 
that we may learn to see and understand with our hearts;
 
that we may learn to rejoice in our being.
 
We pray for these things with humility;
 
We pray because of the hope that is within us, and because of a faith in the ultimate triumph of the human spirit;
 
We pray because of our love for Creation, and because of our trust in God.
We pray, above all, for peace throughout the world.
