Daily Affirmation
Author: Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila
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!

Hau’oli Aloha Po’alua
Aloha kakahiaka oukou … Hau’oli aloha Po’alua. He hoʻolaulea o ke ola keia la mea aloha e I lā nani nou oukou.
Good morning and happy Aloha Tuesday. Celebrate life today with loved ones and all have a beautiful day.
Just For Today … Practice Self-Compassion
Practice self-compassion today by writing a letter to yourself acknowledging all of your positive characteristics and attributes.
We live in a society where we often feel as though we are in a state of constant competition in all areas of our lives: work, relationships, hobbies, and in turn, we are often overly self-critical. Practicing self-compassion can help us to restore feelings of self-worth and instill an inner peace to propel us in our actions.
“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” ~ Jack Kornfield
Seeds for Meditation ~ “Don’t Go Back To Sleep,” by Elizabeth Lesser
To be human is to be lost in the woods. None of us arrives here with clear directions on how to get from point A to point B without stumbling into the forest of confusion or catastrophe or wrongdoing. Although they are dark and dangerous, it is in the woods that we discover our strengths. We all know people who say their cancer or divorce or bankruptcy was the greatest gift of a lifetime—that until the body, or the heart, or the bank was broken, they didn’t know who they were, what they felt, or what they wanted. Before their descent into the darkness, they took more than they gave, or they were numb, or full of fear or blame or self-pity. In their most broken moments they were brought to their knees; they were humbled; they were opened. And later, as they pulled the pieces back together, they discovered a clearer sense of purpose and a new passion for life. But we also know people who did not turn their misfortune into insight, or their grief into joy. Instead, they became more bitter, more reactive, more cynical. They shut down. They went back to sleep.
The Persian poet Rumi says, “The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep. You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep. People are going back and forth across the doorsill, where the two worlds touch. The door is round and open. Don’t go back to sleep.”
I am fascinated by what it takes to stay awake in difficult times. I marvel at what we all do in times of transition — how we resist, and how we surrender; how we stay stuck, and how we grow. Since my first major broken-open experience — my divorce — I have been an observer and a confidante of others as they engage with the forces of their own suffering. I have made note of how fiasco and failure visit each one of us, as if they were written into the job description of being human. I have seen people crumble in times of trouble, lose their spirit, and never fully recover. I have seen others protect themselves fiercely from any kind of change, until they are living a half life, safe yet stunted.
But I have also seen another way to deal with a fearful change or a painful loss. I call this other way the Phoenix Process — named for the mythical phoenix bird who remains awake through the fires of change, rises from the ashes of death, and is reborn into his most vibrant and enlightened self.
I’ve tried both ways: I have gone back to sleep in order to resist the forces of change. And I have stayed awake and been broken open. Both ways are difficult, but one way brings with it the gift of a lifetime. If we can stay awake when our lives are changing, secrets will be revealed to us—secrets about ourselves, about the nature of life, and about the eternal source of happiness and peace that is always available, always renewable, already within us.

Hau’oli Aloha Po’akahi
Aloha Kakahiaka kakou, Hau’oli aloha Po’akahi! Ola i ka makana ma Ke Akua. Maikaʻi la iā oukou.
Good Morning and Happy Aloha Monday, everyone! Life is a gift from God … Everyone have a beautiful day!
NA PULE (Prayer/Blessing): Makahiki (New Year) Blessing
E mahalo kakou i la mea loa’a – Let us be thankful for what we have.
Aloha ke Akua. He la nani keia la, ke ola maika’i. Na ke Akua e malama mai ia au. I keia la pomaika’i. E olakino maika’i au I ke Akua a me ha ehuola o ka’u no ia e ‘ano i nei. Mahalo ke Akua.

HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ E Homai (Return Me, Grant Me)
A HUGE activator of Mana and an invocation to connect back to all wisdom inside you, above and around you; to all that became hidden behind human concerns. An intentional return to your own spiritual source.
E homai
Ka ike mai luna mai e
Ona mea huna no’eau
Ona mele e
E homai
E homai
E homai
RAISING MANA ~ Connecting To The Source ~ E HOMAI
This is a chant of connection:
• To all the wisdom inside you,
• To the wisdom above and around you,
• To all that has become “hidden” behind everyday human level concerns.
This chant is an intentional return to your own spiritual source. It was written by Auntie Edith Kanaka’ole of Hui Ho’ola on Moku o Keawe, the “Big Island” of Hawai’i. This is a very popular personal chant performed by many hula halau. The English translation and a tiny bit of kaona (hidden, metaphoric meaning) follows:
(Hawai’ian to English Translation)
E — Respectfully, with greatest regard, asking for and granted the right to be heard.
Homai — Return, grant me, activate the unbroken universal energetic flow.
Ka ‘ike mai — The skills, knowledge, the knowing, seeing, the understanding … return.
Luna mai e — from above (the higher, super-consciousness, perspective) … return.
O na mea huna — Of the things hidden (the tiny, seemingly insignificant grains of sand on the seashore, the things lost
amongst the melieu of other everyday concerns)
No’eau — Wisdom, inspiration, talents, skills (hidden treasures, wisdom)
O na mele — Of the songs (the joys in Life, those things that make
the heart sing)
E — (a closure, having been heard by Na Kupuna,
acknowledgment that the “lei” of regard is closed.)
E homai — Return me, grant me (also means, “I am returned,” “It is granted me”).
Additional Notes:
This is one of the best chants ever created for reconnecting you with your spirit source. Chanting this particular chant will put you in ‘da canoe every time! No be ha’ale (shy) now – belt it out – chant it until it is part of your cell structure. “Owning” this chant will heal you in the physical sense, all the way to your DNA … I no kid you, eh! And seriously, the Aunties on the Big Island have plenty of medical documentation that shows that chanting this chant makes cellular changes within the chanter!
E homai!
HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ Ha’ina ia Mai Ana Kapuana (let the story be told)
Here is your story: I am reclaiming my personal power. I am on a journey, a sacred mission back to Spirit. I pass willingly through the doorways of Spirit, back into the deeper wisdom that is already stored inside me. I reconnect and reclaim my Self.
Hau’oli Aloha Lapule
Aloha kakahiaka oukou … Hau’oli la Lapule! Aloha kekahi i kekahi e O’ka ‘olu’olu e hau’oli ia. I la kupaianaha nou oukou a me ‘ohana e na hoaloha.
Good morning and Happy Sunday, everyone! Remember to Love One Another and that Love is Kindness. Have a wonderful day with family and friends.

Meditate on Gratitude Today
Always start your day with gratitude.
Quite often we take our blessings for granted. Too often, we forget to appreciate the people or things we already have in our lives as we rush to strive for other things that we do not have. But, by doing so, we do not enjoy the beautiful people or things that are present in our lives NOW.
** So, take a moment of your busy schedule every day to be thankful for the countless blessings that God has showered on each of us. You will notice that it will bring you so much peace when you know that you already have so much blessing in your life.
JUST FOR TODAY … Go Through A Check-up From The Neck Up
Alan Watts had a singular way of dispersing our illusory convictions about infinitely important dualities, such as belief vs. faith … or, money vs. wealth … or, productivity vs. presence … or, ego vs. true self … selfishness vs. gratitude … or, stimulation vs. wisdom … or, profit vs. purpose … or, the notions of hurrying and timing. In his essay “Does It Matter? Essays on Man’s Relation to Materiality (1970)”, Watts said:
“Just exactly what is the “good” to which we aspire through doing and eating things that are supposed to be good for us? This question is strictly taboo, for if it were seriously investigated the whole economy and social order would fall apart and have to be reorganized. It would be like the donkey finding out that the carrot dangled before him, to make him run, is hitched by a stick to his own collar. For the good to which we aspire exists only and always in the future. Because we cannot relate to the sensuous and material present we are most happy when good things are expected to happen, not when they are happening. We get such a kick out of looking forward to pleasures and rushing ahead to meet them that we can’t slow down enough to enjoy them when they come. We are therefore a civilization which suffers from chronic disappointment — a formidable swarm of spoiled children smashing their toys.”
He later addressed the last duality related to Timing thus: “there is indeed such a thing as “timing” — the art of mastering rhythm — but timing and hurrying are … mutually exclusive.”
Check in to yourself, BE PRESENT with what’s going on inside as you go into your day or relate to others …
“The prevalent sensation of oneself as a separate ego enclosed in a bag of skin is a hallucination which accords neither with Western science nor with the experimental philosophy-religions of the East.” ~ Alan Watts

Daily Chabad ~ Be Real
What is your job in this world? It is to be real.
Act real, mean what you say, think and really be thinking, talk to your Creator and let the words flow from your heart. Every cell of your body down to your fingernails should be real.
Yes, everyone knows there are so many things to accomplish in life and everyone agrees it’s better if they’re done with sincerity.
That’s not what’s meant. There’s just one thing you’re here to accomplish: To be real.

HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ Hi’uwai (ritual cleansing)
A soothing healing ritual bath for cleansing the soul and refreshing the spirit. Light candles, burn incense. Kala-kala. Sink into the water and be cleansed. When you are clear, set your intention for the day. Amama ‘ua noa. So be it, let it fly!
HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ Puliki Ka Po (embrace the Darkness)
All creativity, all healing comes through darkness that is honored and embraced with love. Love yourself for never giving up, your courage and willingness to press on through dark moments; for knowing in your heart that the journey is worth it.

Meditation ~ Soothing Tibetan Sounds for your Sacred Space
Bodymindzone’s selection of meditation music videos, with slow, beautiful, instrumental pieces, often using soothing sounds of piano, flute and acoustic guitar, will support your meditation practice. The sounds of nature, of the ocean, gently caressing and calming the mind provide the meditative space in which the beginner meditator or experienced practioner of mindfulness may further their meditative practice.
Whether your meditative practice focus is centered prayer, a yoga practice, walking or seated meditation, aided by a mantra, guided visualization, or using breath focused techniques, our lovingly composed songs playlist will relax mind and body and support your meditative spiritual search for relaxation, health and inner peace.
Meditation for beginners teaches that there is no right or wrong method. Whether using music for meditation, or music as a background for meditation, you will aim to bring your mind to focus. You may choose to focus on the instrumental music as a whole, bringing the mind back whenever you notice it has left it, or choose to focus on the movement of sound of the piano or guitar. If you choose your breath or a mantra as your focus, allow our meditative music to slowly pass by in the background, bringing your focused attention back to your breath or mantra if you find our heavenly music pulling the mind away from its focus.
As you use our music meditation playlists, and perhaps watch the inspiring beautiful images, become aware too, of listening and watching. Watch the watcher, watch the listener. Who is aware of the listener? Who is aware of the watcher? Has that awareness ever not been there, the silent ever-present Witness of all that you do?
As you become more mindful, you will find that you become more mindful not just of your own needs but also the needs of the people around you and the world as a whole. Finding compassion, positivity and mindfulness in relation to the world around you can be a starting place for a more productive and creative life in all areas, including relationships, work and your own spiritual journey of growth.
Relax, focus, love, accept.
JUST FOR TODAY … A Lesson in Empathy
Our lives intersect with others all day, everyday. Sometimes we know these other lives well; frequently, though, the points of connection are brief and transient. Who are these people? How might they tell their own stories? What thoughts preoccupy their minds? What joys and troubles are coursing through their feelings?
“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?” ~ Henry David Thoreau
If we could catch a glimpse of others’ stories … If you could stand in someone else’s shoes … hear what they hear … see what they see … feel what they feel … would YOU treat them differently?
All Are One … Live in Peace and Aloha

HA’AWINA NA POHAKU LA’AU ~ Healing Crystals ~ Ruby Fuchsite
India ~ Hardness 6.5-7
Use with 1st Chakra ~ Root 4th Chakra ~ Heart 6th Chakra ~ Third Eye
Most Ruby in Fuchsite specimens will display four colors:
Green ~ Fuchsite, Red ~ Ruby, Blue ~ Kyanite and White to Off-White ~ Quartzite.
This is a wonderful combination of elements that send out wonderful energies in all areas of life. It provides the connection of oneself with the soul level to help you on your spiritual journey while enhancing ones understanding of love at a higher level or vibration.
If you have experienced an awakening within yourself, the energies will strengthen your heart & mind’s neural connections. This enables you to integrate the urgings that you may hear coming from your heart so that you can put them into action.
Both the Ruby and Fuchsite help to open & stimulate your psychic awareness. Placing Ruby Fuchsite on the Third-Eye can awaken latent psychic abilities by opening up the Heart Chakra to receive information.
Since all three Chakra centers are stimulated by the properties of this lovely stone, you will find yourself in a state of harmonious balance. Enjoy this peaceful state, for it is the perfect breeding ground for a truly magical manifestation of your inner desires.
Because your heart center is so affected by the Ruby in the stone, don’t be surprised at your new found capacity, to change your personal circumstances, to include more of the world around you. Your heart space is expanding to the eternal love of the Divine when working with Fuchsite, so expect change!
Concerning matters associated with the heart space, such as, grief or anger, despair, loneliness & defeat, unhappiness or abandonment, to name a few. Fuchsite works well with healing the heart center to bring in the acceptance, peace & love which one needs to begin the healing process.
Fuchsite with Ruby increases your energy field, strengthening your Etheric body, while cleansing the astral body of any negative attachments. On the emotional body, you will find this stone to be a powerful healer, bringing you to a place where positivism rules instead of negativity. This allows the physical body to receive incoming, healing energy patterns.
This highly spiritual stone will assist your growth in spiritual matters on your journey here. You may experience a sense of “knowing” that you never had before, allowing you to see the full essence of your true self. Enjoy the freedom this heart stone brings into your life with it’s life force energies. Truly magical indeed!
Seeds for Meditation … Reflection On Water
“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” ― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
DAILY CHABAD … The Quantum Leap
There are times when moving forward step by step is not enough.
There are times when you can’t just change what you do, how you speak and how you think about things.
Sometimes, you have to change who you are. You need to pick both feet off the ground and leap.
Sometimes, you need to change at your very core of being.

Hau’oli la Po’aha

Greetings and Good Morning to all. Happy Thursday! Today is a beautiful day. Relax and enjoy it!
HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ Kala-Kala (release to be released)
Whenever we connect with others, we give off little energetic signals through aka cords and leave aka energetic shadows behind … thus, no longer available to serve our higher selves (talking about Spirit, folks). Release energy to be released and able to take back your energy.
HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ ‘Aia I Ka ‘Olelo (In a word …)
‘Aia i ka ‘olelo no ke ola, ‘aia i ka ‘olelo no ka make (in the word there is life, in the word there is death).
To speak, you expel breath, then inhale to refill the lungs, thus, inhaling and ingesting your spoken words! Therefore, be aware of what you say … you could be negatively affecting your otherwise healthy well-being!!
HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ ‘Apono (acceptance)
An automatic activator of Pono. Quit being so serious. Acceptance heals Na Keiki (your middle and lower selves) and the best nanny is Nahenahe (compassion). Accept with grace and aloha where you are at so you can shift energy onto the lesson that the gift of experience brings in order to heal.
