It is with a heavy heart that we bid aloha ‘oe to a good friend and a wonderful student, Reiki Sensei Shinpiden Tracey Cochran, of Lake Havesu, Arizona, who passed through the Veil at 3:30 a.m this morning. Her exuberance for life, her deep level of compassion expressed as a gifted Healer will be missed by all, especially her most loving husband, Jim Cochran.  The Halau is with you, Tracey … you’re going Home, full sail.  We love you, Girl.  Good journey in the company of your Grandmother Nelson … Aloha ‘oe no kau’a, Tracey.

 

For Pahoa …

HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ E Homai (Return Me, Grant Me)

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

SuperegoA 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 ~ ‘Aia I Ka ‘Olelo (In a word …)

ancestors with you‘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 ‘OLELO NO’EAU …

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

kiho alu playerHe la nani keia la, i hoakahi kahi ke aloha.  E loa ke ola he nani no ia. Kai ana ke aloha no na po e.  Mahalo ke Akua hoʻohoihoi me ko’u ola pomaika’i na mea pau.

Translation: Today is a beautiful day, be one in love. May life be long because Life is a good thing. Go forth and spread the aloha. Thank you God. I am pleased with my life, that all things are blessed.

This is an ancient proverb from the ‘Olelo no’eau. This proverb is about your direction in life. If you have no direction in your life, you will get nowhere … or, if you are going nowhere, you are definitely guaranteed to get there. It’s good to have and find your purpose in life: to have dreams and goals. God put you here for a reason and a season. Some may be granted longer life than others, but it is not for us to question when God calls us home. While we are here on this side of the Veil, we need to give of ourselves to others and help those in need. Don’t just sit there and allow life to fade away. I know we get tangled in life’s trials, but don’t let negativity suck the life from you. Life is short, so make it count. Life is good, so please please live it to the fullest everyday, not just the length but the breadth of it, too.

HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ Hewa (guilt, sin)

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

along the pathThere is really no such concept as “sin” in the Hawaiian paradigm.  However, there is “guilt”, as in mistake, and the “sin” is that feeling creates pilikia-producing choice to return to the past.  It is that heartspace that keeps you from being Pono in the moment.  Realize the lesson of past experience.  It’s never too late to learn; no expiration date on awareness.  Choose Pono-based behavior.
