I wanted to share some Hawaiian words that were talked about in my last Lomi class. I think they are pretty profound.
These are the Seven Hawaiian Shamanic Principles...
IKE
The world is what you think it is
Basically, our outlook affects how we see things. It changes our perceptions.
KALA
There are no limits
The only thing ever limiting us is ourselves.
MAKIA
Energy flows where attention goes
Whatever we think about the most is where our energy goes. Do we think about things that cause us fear or that cause us hope?
MANAWA
Now is the moment of power
Be present in the moment as that is what guides the future.
ALOHA
To love is to be happy with
The vibration of love is a powerful thing. This relates back to IKE.
MANA
All power comes from within
Everything we do has to start small. To do anything big, we first have to change ourselves inside, and then work outward. To change the universe, we start inside ourselves and then work outward.
PONO
Effectiveness is the measure of truth
Pono can also mean alignment. The truth is strong. If we are aligned with truth, we are strong, we are effective.
