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.

Health ~ Your Acne Reveals Your Body Health
In Chinese medicine, it is believed that the acne on your face are associated with certain health problem in different part of the body.
For example, acne in the upper cheek area indicate a problem in the lungs and respiratory system, and smoking is one of the root causes for this problem. This means that you should just link the location of your acne and determine which organ could possibly need attention or is affected by a disease.

How To Clean Up The Pineal Gland In 7 Easy Steps
Those that use this medicine go into a period of “work” where issues come into awareness and can be healed with the insights that come from DMT consciousness. The advantage of cleaning up our pineal gland so it makes its own DMT is that we can be in a continuous state of spiritual “work” and we are spared the purgative effects of drinking the ayahuasca. Thus we no longer need any medicines as an adjunct to our spiritual lives. DMT is a totally natural substance that the human body will manufacture and distribute when it is in a healed state. Thus it would appear human beings were intended to be visionary beings and be able to tap into the information in other dimensions. This dimensional perception transcends the ego and rapidly heals our sufferings, conflicts and thus karmas. Here are some basics for pineal detox:
1. Mercury – this is really bad for the pineal gland. It’s poison. Don’t let this get into your body. Mercury tooth fillings are pineal toxins. Have them removed. All medical vaccines are also mercury tainted. Thimersal (a vaccine preservative) is methyl mercury and is very difficult to get out of the brain once it’s in there. Avoid eating fish and bottom feeders such as shrimps and prawns. Tuna and dolphin meat is particularly bad for mercury – the bigger the fish the higher the concentration of mercury in its body tissue. Eco light bulbs – if one is smashed mercury vapour is released into the room and inhaled. Avoid at all costs breaking one indoors. Mercury can be removed from the body by the daily use of chlorella, wheatgrass and spirulina. Cilantro herb taken daily can help remove mercury from brain tissue.
2. Fluoride – in toothpastes and tap water. It’s another heavy duty poison. Avoid it at all costs. It calcifies the pineal tissue and basically shuts the gland down.
3. Organic foods – some pesticides are pineal toxins. Organic healthy food with a high ratio of raw is supportive to pineal detox. Meat is not helpful either. Some people who channel seem to not be affected but for many the toxicity and density of meat will pose challenges and we want to make the work easy if we can.
4. Alcohol + smoking – Naturally these need to go along with the emotional attachments to using them (usually boils down to self worth issues or unresolved trauma).
5. Heart Healing – raises the overall vibration of the being and heals fear – a useful advantage for when we start seeing other dimensions.
6. Other toxins – if something is toxic do not put it in your body. If you can’t say it’s name, is most likely bad. Toxins include artificial sweeteners (aspartame K) , refined sugar, phylenanine (in squashes), E numbers beginning with 1, deodorants, cleaning chemicals, dental mouthwashes (saltwater is suffice) and air fresheners.
7. Raw chocolate – Raw cacao is a pineal gland stimulant / detoxifier in high doses because of the high antioxidant content. Being disciplined with steps 1-6 for a year or so will certainly bring about pineal awakening. Step 7 is optional but very useful too.
Study: Even Organic Honey Contains Toxic Glyphosate
A recent study from Boston University and Abraxis LLC, found glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, present in honey. The study found that both conventional and organic honey contained glyphosate, specifically 62 percent of conventional honey and 45 percent of organic honey.
Two issues could be causing the contamination of organic honey. First, a single honey bee will travel six miles to find nectar so it’s nearly impossible to avoid all pesticides. Additionally, beekeepers use pesticides to control Varroa mites in beehives. The mites are a parasite that attacks honeybees and can cause disease. When organic beekeepers buy commercially available wax for their hives, it could be contaminated with pesticides. Even though organic beekeepers can’t directly treat their beehives with pesticides.

A Heightened Happiness
True happiness is the highest form of self-sacrifice.
There, in that state, there is no sense of self
— not even awareness that you are happy.
True happiness is somewhere beyond “knowing.”
Beyond self.
All the more so when you bring joy to others.

Hospitality entails creating not just physical room but emotional spaciousness where the stranger can enter and be himself or herself, where the stranger can become ally instead of threat, friend instead of enemy. May this cause you to pause and consider the lines you can artificially draw between yourself and others, and wonder what beautiful things may happen if you are willing to let those lines go.

May all who enter as guests leave as friends.
When you interact with the next person who crosses your path, practice expanding the welcoming space you provide for the other to truly be himself or herself in your presence.

Is there an observation of silence by silence in silence?
Krishnamurti: Is there an observation of silence by silence in silence?
Questioner: That’s a new question.
Krishnamurti: It is not a new question if you have been following. The whole brain, the mind, the feelings, the body, everything is quiet. Can this quietness, stillness, look at itself, not as an observer who is still? Can the totality of this silence watch its own totality?

Recipe ~ Vegetarian Dumplings
- Prep Time:
20 min - Cook Time:
15 min - Ready Time:
35 min
6 servings
Ingredients:
- one box frozen organic spinach you dont need fresh for this and flash frozen are perfect
- on scallion chopped
- one small onion chopped
- one clove of garlic chopped
- one cup of cilantro chopped
- one cup silken tofu
- kosher salt and pepper
- good store bought won ton skins should have ingredients, flour, water, salt anything more than check for a lab experiment going on.
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
- dash of sesame oil
- chives to garnish
Directions:
In a hot pan with olive oil, add the spinach with a little kosher salt and saute’ until the water has evaporated out of it to the point where you can push down on it and no liquid comes out. Take out and cool.
Now add all the other ingredients (minus the won ton wrappers) and mix well; check for seasoning and adjust. You don’t want it too salty, as the sauce will help with that.
Take your won ton wrapper and put a small quarter size dollop of the mixture into the middle of the won ton wrapper, using some water wet the edges, now bring one side over to the top (see photos) to make a purse and press together to seal.
You can either freeze them or put them on a baking tray and into a freezer. Once they are frozen, remove into freezer bags. I like to do individual portions of 5-7 pieces, that way when you get home and want a snack, you can just grab a bag and cook them.
Fried from fresh:
In a hot pan with olive oil, put the dumplings in flat side down and fry them until golden brown (keep checking) now add a 1/4 cup of water and cover for a couple minutes until they are cooked fully and all the water has evaporated.
From Frozen:
In a hot pan with olive oil, add dumplings then a splash of water, cover and let steam when the water starts to evaporate the bottom will start to brown. When a golden color they are done
Steaming:
Into a bamboo steamer for 12 minutes from frozen … 6 minutes from fresh.
Plate and drizzle some of the sauce on the plate (just mix all the sauce ingredients together) and go to town!
Enjoy!

Recipe To Make Cannabis Oil For Chemo Alternative
Over the past few years people became more and more aware of the power of cannabis as a potential cure for cancer. The studies conducted over the last decade confirmed the anti-cancer effect of the plant, without leaving any doubt behind.
Cannabinoids (any group of related compounds that include cannabinol and active substances of cannabis) have the ability to activate the cannabinoid receptors in the body. The body produces endocannabinoids, compounds that play important role in many vital processes that create a healthy environment.
Radiation and chemotherapy are the only approved cancer treatments, but people must know that there are other options as well. Exploring these options is bad at no aspect, and if people only knew about all the other alternatives, they would sure be able to make the best choice for themselves.
Many people chose this alternative treatment to fight cancer and live longer, and the number of people who become aware of the healing power of this plant increases every day. “How is it used?” is the next question to be asked.
You can either do a research on your own or find more information about Rick Simpson’s hemp oil.
Rick Simpson is a medical marijuana activist, and he has been giving people information about the healing properties of hemp oil medications for a long time. His own experience inspired him to help other people, after he cured his metastatic cancer in 2003.
We give you the original recipe for Rick Simpson’s hash oil.

Recipe ~ The Raw Brownie
Ingredients:
2 cups whole walnuts
2 ½ cups Medjool dates, pitted
1 cup raw cacao
1 cup raw unsalted almonds, roughly chopped
¼ tsp. sea salt
Directions:
1. Place walnuts in food processor and blend on high until the nuts are finely ground.
2. Add the cacao and salt. Pulse to combine.
3. Add the dates one at a time through the feed tube of the food processor while it is running. What you should end up with is a mix that appears rather like cake crumbs, but that when pressed, will easily stick together (if the mixture does not hold together well, add more dates).
4. In a large bowl (or the pan you plan on putting the brownies in), combine the walnut-cacao mix with the chopped almonds. Press into a lined cake pan or mold. Place in freezer or fridge until ready to serve (it is also easier to cut these when they are very cold). Store in an airtight container.

Seeds for Meditation
The tendency of people to be fearful of those experiences they call apparitions or assign to the “spirit world,” including death, has done infinite harm to life. All these things so naturally related to us have been driven away through our daily resistance to them, to the point where our capacity to sense them has atrophied … Fear of the unexplainable has not only impoverished our inner lives, but also diminished relations between people; these have been dragged, so to speak, from the river of infinite possibilities and stuck on the dry bank where nothing happens. For it is not only sluggishness that makes human relations so unspeakably monotonous, it is the aversion to any new, unforeseen experience we are not sure we can handle.
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Five Surprising Facts About Orchids
Here are five interesting facts you may not have known about one of the most popular flowers in the world:
1. There are more than 25,000 documented species of orchid, and scientists are finding more every day.
The family Orchidacea is home to more than 25,000 flower species. Scientists suspect that there are more species in the topical areas of the world, and horticulturalists hybridize the flower to create new species that wouldn’t occur in nature, and giving rise to some of the most popular varieties of the plant in existence. [Photo: Orchids of Latin America]
2. Orchids have a symmetry similar to human faces.
Much of the reason orchids are so widespread is thanks in part to humans’ affinity for and desire to grow them. The symmetry of the flower could have a lot to do with why people are so fond of orchids. An orchid has bilateral symmetry — like a human face — so if a line is drawn vertically down the middle of the flower, the two halves are mirror images of each other.
3. Orchids are masters of deception.
Orchids deceive insects into pollinating them. The reproductive parts of many orchid flowers are shaped and colored to look like the kind of insect they hope to attract. Once the insect is interested, the orchid’s pollen sticks to the bug until it flies off to find another orchid that it mistakes for a mate.
4. Scientists found fossilized orchid pollen on the back of a bee.
Pollen from an ancient orchid was found on the back of a bee encased in amber, as detailed in a 2007 study in the journal Nature. The fossil was dated to around 10 million or 15 million years ago, but the orchid family is far older. Some research even dates some species of orchid to around 120 million years ago, before the continents split into their current form.
Two species of orchids whose natural habitats are thousands of miles apart are actually closely related. Scientists think that the plants probably had a common ancestor before they were separated by continental drift.
5. Vanilla is a species of orchid.
Perhaps one of the most popular species of orchids, the “flat leafed” vanilla plant is also one of the most widespread. Horticulturalists all over Latin America cultivate the plant for its flavorful charms.
