Seeds For Meditation … Autumn

Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love – that makes life and nature harmonize. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ Na’aupo (cognitive dissonance)

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

big story blindWillful ignorance; one who won’t use the tools to discern Truth is na’aupo. It’s all in the hana (the work, daily do-ing). The word itself means “many breaths.”  Keep using the tools until it becomes like breathing automatically; no thinking. No more wasting your Ha (your sacred breath … with too many words of justification/excuse).  Take heart: the more you use them, the easier getting back to Pono (righteousness) is.

 

HA’AWINA NA UHANE ALOHA ~ Pilikia (negativity, entanglements)

broken harpIt’s not the situation that causes pilikia; it’s your attitude toward it. You are in Hell Hotel and out of your kapu space. Check out now! Return to Pono, forgive yourself and go back to the hana (the practice, the work). Mahalo e pomaika’i pilikia. Kalana nui au. Accept, thank and bless (ho’oponopono) the pilikia as you cut its energy cord from your aura. This is how you transmute pilikia into Aloha.

 

Ha’awina Na Uhane Aloha ~ Aloha

ALOHAAlo-Ha ~ I present to you the “Breath of God”
ha – I Greet You with the Breath of God,
alo – I present my Self to you (similar to Namaste’, but not)

Two inherent truths: We are spirit beings, and, we are here to live the hu- man experience. Lack of self-love offends who and what we really are and blocks our ability to truly love others and receive love from others. Break the cycle!!  Live Aloha!

floral_parade_035Meditate on this ‘Oli to automatically activate being Pono. Visualize the lei, the eternal circle of love, in which we are surrounded by Spirit, a reminder to live in the moment and express gratitude for all our moments.

Paradigm Shift ~ On Having and Giving

Why do those with less always give more? This video shows what generosity truly is. When asked if they would share their food and money, those who can afford it say no. While those who desperately need what they have will gladly give it away. A bittersweet look at the human spirit.
