7 Hawaiian principles
Hawaiian medicine guides us to our heart center, fostering a life of freedom, love, connection, synchronicity, abundance, spiritual power, flow, and heightened consciousness awareness. It’s a transformative journey to holistic well-being. Each day we embody one of the following Hawaiian principles, through spritual and heart activating processes.
MANAWA – Now is the moment of power “I am here now”
IKE – The world is what you think it is “I am aware”
MAKIA – Energy flows where attention goes “I am focused”
ALOHA – To love is to be happy with “I am happy”
KALA – There are no limits “I am free”
MANA – All power comes from within “I am confident”
PONO – Effectiveness is the measure of truth “I am positive”
