spiritual freedom – Hālau 'Aha Hui Lānākila

Fall in love with this moment, my friend. Anything less than this creates suffering.

Stop arguing with what is, my friend. This argument is the root cause of all conflict, within you and within the world.

This moment cannot be changed, controlled, improved, or made to vanish. It is as it is, and it cannot be any other way. It is a fact of reality.

This moment is in love with you, exactly as you are. It doesn’t care whether you resist or argue or turn away, it doesn’t try to change you, it doesn’t try to make you respond with open arms, and neither does it leave you when you reject it. Whatever your state of mind, this moment is still here, right up close and absolutely naked, as it is.

This moment gives itself to you wholeheartedly, in all its glory and all its horror. This moment is your most faithful friend, totally devoted to you.

When it hurts, when your mind contorts in agony, when you strive to make this moment conform to your idea of how it should be, it is you that suffers. This moment is untouched by your suffering.

If you really want freedom, then stop the fight, stop the argument, simply stop. In stopping, there is a surrender of the mind. And in this surrender there is a relaxation, an opening. And in this opening, there is a clear seeing of the fact of reality. It has nothing to do with liking or disliking, nothing to do with pleasure or pain. It has everything to do with intimacy. Simply being intimate with what is.

So, fall in love with this moment, my friend. It is the only freedom available to you.

Train At The Halau!

USUI SYSTEM OF NATURAL HEALING (REIKI) Click on the Reiki tab and go to our Enrollment page link for information about our Reiki training program and to sign up. The Halau propagates traditional Japanese Usui Teate Reiki in addition to American Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki knowledge and training. Most Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki schools allow Level 3 Reiki Masters to attune new students. Unlike these schools, The Halau allows only our Usui Teate Grandmasters to propagate basic Reiki technique to beginners. Grandmasters are the only instructors with enough training and knowledge to attune new students. They are trained to perform both live (in-person) as well as astral (long-distance) attunements. We do not simply gather students as income: our training is for serious Reiki inquiries only.
