The Awakening Of A World Dharma
By Mark Sheehan “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.â€? -Jane Goodall We live in such a death-oriented world that we need to be reminded that life is important, precious, threatened. How can we be aware of the craziness and still stay sane? The President talks about negotiating with Iran while preparing for war (after Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan)? We talk environmental sanity while pumping ever more carbon into the atmosphere. We want healthy food but let chemical companies ‘modify’ and control our food supply. We ďŹ sh the oceans empty while talking about nine billion people on the planet. We celebrate the Bill of Rights yet Congress passed, and Obama approved, the NDDA! With so many conicting emotions to sort out, it’s refreshing to come across Alan Clement’s latest book, A Future to Believe In, A Guide to Empowerment, Revolution and the Universal Right to Be Free. There are 108 short chapters that relate inspiring stories from his life, spiced with brilliant quotes from saints and sages. Alan says he wrote the book for his ďŹ ve-year-old daughter as a way to tell her something about who he is and to offer her hope. This book has evoked praise from many of the environmental and visionary greats writing about our dire straits and the way through them. Derrick Jensen, author of A Language Older than Words, (a book I couldn’t put down and yet could hardly stand to read because it was so painful) claimed, “This culture is killing the
planet. If we are to have any future at all, we must unlearn everything the culture has taught us and begin to listen to the planet, to listen to life – the core intelligence of nature and the human heart. This book not only helps us with the unlearning process - the greatest challenge humankind has ever faced – it provides the essential wisdom, the spiritual intelligence, to open ourselves to ďŹ nally start to hear.â€? Other writers who have added their recommendations include Paul Hawken, Joanna Macy, Helen Caldicott and Dr. Vendana Shiva. Alan was at the Studio Maui early in March to share the story of how freedom became so important in his life and how revolutionaries like An Sang Suu Kyi stayed strong and free despite years of captivity. “My freedom was never theirs to take away,â€? she said, referring to the generals who held her under house arrest for almost two decades. You can read this book straight through (as I did) on a Kindle, you can carry it around dipping into the short chapters to savor the wisdom or you can skim through the book, tasting the juicy quotes: “Follow your inner moonlight, don’t hide the madness.â€?(Allen Ginsberg) “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, if you listen carefully, you can hear her breathing.â€?(Arundhati Roy) After many years as a monk in Burma, Alan was witness to the genocide perpetrated by the military regime against its own people. That forced him to “mergeâ€? his spiritural awareness with a world of political oppression, propaganda, resistance, and worldwide human rights issues. “Aung San Suu Kui once told me that ‘ultimately spirituality and politics cannot be

separated. Both deal with the everyday life of people. And at the core of life – at the core of spirituality and politics – are the same qualities, that of human freedom and dignity.’â€? Alan confided that he spent the better part of ďŹ ve years quietly working away with this creation. He said he wanted to “bring as many voices as possible to make the case that our future depends on all of us.â€? He claims that Aung Sang Suu Kyi and her colleagues in Burma “opened him up to a whole world view, the awakening of a world dharma, in which everyone is involved. She maintains that “nothing and no one is separate from this freedom.â€? If we are to overcome the planetary death wish, we must choose life so that we can, together, create a future to believe in.

Making Healthy Choices
Every day is a new day. Every day, in every way, you can make choices to get better and better, or the opposite, make choices that make you fatter, older, sicker, more addicted and more run down, marching a slow march towards disease and death. It’s taken a whole lifetime to become who you are and to arrive where you are. And if you decide it isn’t a pretty picture, don’t beat yourself up, you can choose again! Making choices to drink pure water, eat more living foods, exercise, breathe, enjoy nature, pray, meditate, do meaningful work, get plenty of rest, and avoid toxic substances (and people you judge to be toxic) is a tall order. Above all, just be sure to remember to oss while you’re at it. Be kind to yourself. If you have health problems they didn’t develop overnight. If you choose better lifestyle options, give yourself time to nurture your new habits. If you slip along the way be gentle and guide yourself back on track. There’s no time like the present to start making healthier choices! Check out some of the ideas inside this edition to help you along the way.

Aloha Wisdom Shared During Venus Transit On The Big Island
By Rev. Jill Carl We are living in a time of great personal and planetary change. Information comes at us from all directions and ideas are bantered around like a spirited game of ping pong. We are presented with a multitude of lectures, workshops, seminars, classes, and gatherings to attend. As we begin to sift through the throngs of possibilities, one message seems to keep recurring: “Remember who you are.â€? Sounds simple enough, but it may not be easy in the face of all that is taking place in our world. One way to do this is to come together with like-minded, like-hearted people. Fortunately, there is a lot of wisdom to tap into. That wisdom often comes from our ancestors, the elders that carry the history, knowledge and stories from one generation to another. And, fortunately for us, there will be an Aloha Wisdom Gathering on the Big Island of Hawaii this June 2-6 during the transit of Venus - a rare occurrence when Venus passes in front of the sun. The signiďŹ cance of this is about the sacred geometry, which is the blueprint of creation and genesis of all form. It is the “mathematical order to the intrinsic nature of the universeâ€? – Wikipedia. This intrinsic nature is a wonderfully patterned beauty of creation, interconnectedness, inseparability and union, reminding us of our relationship to the whole. The sphere is an ultimate expression of unity, completeness, and integrity. This is the heart of the gathering on the Big Island. Indigenous grandmothers will come together to talk story with attendees and share sacred ceremonies, traditions and wisdom with each other. Hawaii, the host culture, feaAunty Puanani Mahoe turing Aunty Puanani Mahoe from Maui, will welcome Agnes Pilgrim, Mona Polacca, and Flordemayo of the International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers from the mainland and Kupuna from the Big Island. The ceremony will begin with ancient chants, song and dances of each culture. Aunty Pua will share her knowledge and wisdom of Aloha, the Aloha connected to Akua - the Source. She says that “Source is in each and every one of us. It is an inner knowing of ourselves and our connection back to Source.â€? She believes that Aloha is the birthright of all living beings. She reminds us that we always have choices; we can choose to grow or to be stuck. She suggests that we be, be mindful and observe and respect; be Aloha. Regarding the role of Venus, she says it is the planet related to love. It represents Aloha, the purest love. She says Venus reects love coming to us from Source. Pua shared that King David Kalakaua observed the 1874 Transit of Venus from Honolulu. Aunty Pua also tells us that this is a time of experiencing - of being, sharing of being. For each attendee, the gathering’s purpose is to facilitate inner growth, a connection to themselves, their own inner crossing, an individual experience of who they are, why they are and to address ongoing, faith, and understanding. “Aloha, always Aloha; a knowing, growingâ€?. According to the sponsor organization’s website, “The Aloha Wisdom Gathering will be a time for like-minded people to meet with recognized Earth-keepers and elders in sacred space at a special time to “talk storyâ€? as the Hawaiians say to bring forth suggestions about how to move forward together at this great Shift of the Ages, when, according to the Hopi and other indigenous peoples, we transition from the 4th world to a puriďŹ ed and renewed 5th world.â€?

Breaking Free From Old Patterns By Liah Howard On one level, we are divine beings aware of our brightest selves, and on another we are humble humans trying to ďŹ gure out what is the best course in life to take. Oftentimes we get stuck in old patterns rather than accessing our divine guidance. These old patterns lead us toward making unhealthy decisions that not only distance us from our purposes and higher selves, but damage our health and well-being as well. Our work is to discover and accept all the parts of ourselves, and seek help in shifting out of old patterns. Doing this empowers us to make healthy choices, choices that further enable us to love our humanness while drawing closer to our divinity. We each have a sense of what is healthy, but we don’t always follow it, living in denial of the consequences of our actions. We tell ourselves that it’s OK to eat these greasy fries now because
we’ll work them off later at the gym. Occasional indulgence is ďŹ ne, but unhealthy choices made regularly can be devastating. The high cholesterol level or weight gain directly opposes the healthy body the gym visits are designed to create. Perhaps as a child, eating fried foods represented feeling loved and special. Now the subconscious urge to eat fried food clouds the mind’s ability to make a healthy choice, like eating carrots or celery instead, and the long-term effects are dismissed. Not only do we suffer the physical impact, but we are often further saddled with guilt, shame, and self-judgment for doing this to ourselves. When the pain of our unhealthy choices gets strong enough, evidenced by a health crisis, emotional breakdown, or ďŹ nancial collapse, we become more willing to make healthier choices. We are forced to move out of denial into acceptance and begin implementing healthier actions. Reverend Deborah Johnson says, “Pain pushes until vision pulls.â€? In yogic philosophy, pain is one of the most common reasons for people to seek enlightenment. When I went through a very painful divorce, I joined a yoga community and

meditated with a fervor that I had never known before. The pain pushed me deeper into my soulself. When we are able to let go of judgment about our negative or unconscious behavior, and instead have compassion and love for ourselves, we are able to then ask for help from others. This step helps us break the cycle of denial and make better choices. This is where Weight Watchers, 12 Step groups, or private healing sessions can help. Keep in mind that unhealthy acts done in secret are much harder to change or treat, because the ego does not want to be found out for being less than perfect and will continue its old behaviors. Stepping forward to ask for help takes tremendous courage and offers tremendous beneďŹ t in return. It takes awareness, acceptance, and action to break free from old patterns and implement a new way of being. First we have to see what we’ve been doing to ourselves, how we’ve allowed old patterns to dominate and distort. Then we must accept ourselves without self-judgment. Finally we can step forward and ask for help. Maui is rich with healers of all types. Seek support in untangling the patterns that keep you making unhealthy, self-sabotaging decisions. It feels wonderful to move out of pain, embrace your humanness, and celebrate your divinity by making healthy choices.

How To Read People
Dear Paulo: I want to improve my ability to read other people - to quickly discern their motivations, desires, and weaknesses. The solution may or may not be spiritual. I’m pretty much willing to try anything. – Sam, Seattle Dear Sam: To read others is a sublime and powerful skill that is innate in humans and other mammals. Babies begin interpreting facial expressions and sounds almost from birth, and this skill can be developed and cultivated. For instance, whole books are written on how to read body language. What I suggest that you focus on, however, is empathy - the ability to understand another’s feelings even when they seem foreign (different than sympathy, which is feeling in harmony with or compassion for another). How does one develop empathy? Well, there is a simple way - use your intuition to guess what people are thinking or feeling and then ask them to find out if you were right! People will answer just about any question, including what is going on for them internally, if asked in the right way (sometimes indirectly) and in a non-threatening tone. People love to talk about themselves if they sense that you are truly interested. So, practice the art of social interviewing - it’s highly educational! Tune in and listen, and you’ll be practicing good social skills and develop a ready intuition for reading people.
Friendship Confusion
Dear Paulo: I’m troubled over a friendship matter. It’s confusing, as this friend seems to be loving one moment then turns into an iceberg the next. He generally fails to reply to my emails, but whenever we meet up during gatherings (twice yearly) he’ll shower me with tenderness. What I wish to learn is whether he has any interest in developing a stronger bond of friendship. There is a big age gap between us. Besides this, we are from different walks of life (career-wise) and different countries in Asia. I wrote him back tonight seeking a clear answer whether he truly accepts me as his friend. I haven’t received any response yet. I care a lot for his wellbeing and wonder if he feels the same. - Tan, Selangor, Malaysia Dear Tan: What is a ‘friend’? Perhaps your mind is overwhelmed by memories of the ‘tenderness’ you felt in his presence. His attention stimulated your feelings and you’d like to interpret this as him really caring about you, but maybe not. Charm is one thing; emotional connection takes more of an effort. Is there any possibility he never got your messages? If he did receive your emails, he could be a narcissist, who turns on the charm when he feels like it, but lacks feelings when they are inconvenient. Communication is the lifeblood of friendship, and actions (or non-action, in this case) speak much, much louder than words. You have given him plenty of invitations to meet you halfway. His refusal to respond when you reach out to him demonstrates lack of interest. We don’t know his reasons, but it definitely seems that he is not available to be your friend. You have done enough to invite him. Unless you need to learn from more suffering, do not pursue him further - out of love for yourself, which is where all real loving begins. Positive regard naturally comes to those who radiate, however quietly, self-respect.

Summit Lets Voices Be Heard
By Vanessa Wolf The Women’s Information Network (WIN) will be hosting an allday summit on Saturday, May 19 at Studio Maui in Haiku. Intended to enlighten, empower and gain critical information from local women, the event is one of a thousand such events held worldwide this year. Patricia Varley, Hawaii director of WIN, will be speaking at the summit. She has “always been very passionate about women and women’s issues,â€? and chose to host the event to give back to the community. Paula Fellingham, president and founder of WIN, will also attend and deliver the keynote speech, “Believe It! Become It! How to Overcome Your Obstacles and Excel in Every Area of Your Life.â€? The event includes a continental breakfast, lunch, poetry, singing, and videos featuring Susan Boyle and Marianne Williamson. The summit is limited to 100 female attendees who will be engaged in conversation and asked three questions about “how can we (the women of the world) live in dignity and contribute to the well-being of women and families worldwide?â€? Those answers - pooled from women all Patricia Varley over the globe - will be collected by Fellingham and presented to the head of the United Nations in New York City in September 2012. The event also has a local focus. As Varley noted, “we’re going to be giving local awards and putting the spotlight on non-proďŹ ts. The summit will have local leadership awards and will highlight local non-proďŹ ts that are focused on women.â€? The Women’s Information Network began in 2009 with a mission to strengthen women and families worldwide through education, enlightenment, and entrepreneurism. This is all in an effort to eradicate illiteracy, poverty, and hunger, and to lift the level of love, prosperity, and peace on earth. The Maui Global Women’s Summit cost is $99 and will be held from 9am to 5pm on Saturday, May 19 at Studio Maui, in the Haiku Marketplace.

A Recipe For Deeper Love
By Ed Fell. M.S. Whether with an intimate or a friend, all of us desire to be in partnerships that are fulďŹ lling, fun, meaningful and profound. We usually choose our friends or intimates because of how we ‘feel’ when we are with them. People seek love-bonded relationships because they have ideas of how relationships should look and feel. They seek to feel complete and believe that another will give them wholeness. We create images of great love-making, great communication, a house, and paradise. We form a fantasy, an ideal in our minds around how the ‘form’ intimacy will look and feel. It’s a ‘future’ ideal to which we have become attached. For many reasons, this image is never met, so we carry out one of our strategies to get love. We may look somewhere else, create a distraction, settle for less and get depressed, try to change our partner, or ďŹ nd spiritual or other pursuits to ďŹ ll the void. As we are such intelligent beings, we can drop into boredom with each other. We have intelligent natures that seek newness and experience boredom with the same conversations, the same positions in love making, the same touch, and the same issues. We buy things, move to different places or consider leaving. That is avoiding Truth. Love and consciousness are not stagnant and are always expanding. To keep love alive, we must dwell in the Truth of the now. Seek not more love, but seek Truth. Let go of the past, and refrain from focusing on the future. What is true now in whatever moment or relationship you are in? Discover this with each other and watch a deeper love blossom. You will discover, Truth is love.

Learn How To “Drink Life In�...
By Gina, LMT
“Life is not merely to be alive, but to be well.â€? - Marcus Valerius Martial One of the most important tasks we can ever undertake is to take responsibility for the choices we make regarding our health. When confronted with a choice regarding a serious bodily injury in 1989, I chose a personalized nutritional program with a world-renowned endocrinologist in New York, with excellent results. During this process, I learned many lifechanging ways of eating, which speciďŹ c supplements to take and what detoxiďŹ cation protocols to perform – all based on my own body chemistry. I traveled to New York every six months for testing. This 20-year-plus journey has been powerful for my healing, but also required me to take 130 supplements a day, eat a specific diet and do multitudes of detoxiďŹ cation protocols including liver ushes, colon cleanses, fasts and daily coffee enemas. Almost two years ago, while working at my practice in Indiana, I observed such radical changes in a client of mine that I asked what he had done differently. He was completely off all of his blood pressure medicine and his heart medicine and his troubled eyesight was greatly improved. I sensed his energy ďŹ elds were also much calmer and more balanced. This began my journey with Moringa Oleifera, a tree native to India and other exotic
locations. I discovered that Moringa Oleifera contains dozens of vital nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and omega fatty acids. Formulated from Moringa leaves, seeds and fruits, the Zija company’s “Smart Mixâ€? proprietary product contains efďŹ cacious levels of more than 90 cell-ready nutrients that support our body’s various systems and revitalize our minds and bodies. I also read Dr. Howard W. Fisher’s book, ‘Moringa Oleifera: Magic, Myth, Or Miracle’ (available at themoringabook.com.) There are literally hundreds of independent research documents regarding Moringa Olifera. In 2008, the National Institutes of Health recognized it for its potential to mitigate more than 300 different diseases. Because I travel frequently and have a busy lifestyle, the fact that Smart Mix is simply combined with water makes it very conducive to me regularly taking it. I love that it is an all-natural, organic and good-tasting drink. For myself personally, when I began to drink Zija I noticed many changes that startled me. I made the decision to stop doing the intensive daily regime that I had done for 20-plus years and only drink Zija for six months and see what would happen. My body literally changed before my eyes. I dropped weight without being on a diet, losing over 25 pounds and went from a size 6 to a size 2. My PTSD symptoms including my “fuzzy brainâ€?
disappeared. I could sleep at night without any sleep aid. My eye vision improved. My skin became more supple. I had more sustained and enhanced energy levels. My colon started working regularly and my internal organs all began functioning at new levels. Current medical testing substantiates what I have experienced. My body is now healthier than it’s ever been and I only drink my morning Zija and take my Zija tea at night. This nutrient-rich plant is truly nature’s perfect food! “He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything.â€? -Arabic Proverb Gina, LMT, is a transformational bodyworker, specializing in myo-neuro ďŹ bril massage, energetics and emotional release bodywork.

Is Debris Damage Avoidable?
By Leianna Seal Returning recently from a mainland trip, a woman sitting next to me spoke of the waste from the Japanese earthquake heading our way sooner than expected. I was shocked! I had all but forgotten about the cars, boats, televisions, refrigerators and who knows what else oating freely in the ocean after the ooding and devastation of Japan, just a short year ago. The largest plume of debris is reportedly 69 miles long and covers nearly a square mile, according to the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet, which has been tracking the trash. Computer models predict that the tons of debris will move eastward across the PaciďŹ c Ocean and will reach the Hawaiian Islands in early 2013. In 2016, it reaches the West Coast of the U.S., where it’s predicted to barrage beaches from Baja to Alaska. Whatever doesn’t wash up on land will then drift back west and bounce back toward Hawaii for a second impact. That second impact a few years later could be even more concentrated and harmful to Hawaii’s beaches and reefs, the researchers found. Are we just going to wait and react when our shores are polluted with tons of debris? Or see this as an opportunity to be proactive and prevent the damage to our beautiful home before it reaches us? While the Occupy Movement is important, Hawaiians have a much larger issue at stake – saving our waters, whales and ecosystems from serious toxins and debris. What if our government resources teamed up to ďŹ nd this waste pile, scoop it up and send it to its rightful place? Wouldn’t that be a grand expenditure of the money that we know will be granted by the government for disaster cleanup afterwards?

Coming Back To Life
By Suzan Proia, C.Ht. Fairytale romances do happen. Truly. I had one of those marriages that people dream about. Our connection was intense, our communication pure, our time together brief, and the night my husband died in my arms‌.my world came to a crashing halt. When death arrives without warning, reality becomes surreal. For me, everyday activities played out on autopilot. Showering, tooth brushing, driving - nothing felt as though it were happening in the present. Colors had a different quality, as if seen through a ďŹ lter. Time seemed to crawl, yet speed up in the same day. Meanwhile, the world around me continued spinning on its axis. So, how do you move forward when each step takes you farther from the one you loved and lost? There were two elements that helped loosen the grief - the ďŹ rst was subtle and sweet. It happened because I had to care for our dog. Initially, I was numb during the daily walks. Spring had popped and nature’s unfurling greenery surrounded me. Months of walks along our country road gave me fresh air and the opportunity to see new buds turn into leaves and transform the woods around us. The growth cycle soothed me. Life moved on. The second element was laughter. My dog’s excitement as he discovered new scents, insects in ight or another dog was joyful. My own laugh startled me, and sounded out of place. The lightness of laughter and an awareness of the world created an opportunity to come back to life. A shift occurred, and healing began. We never know what our source of comfort will be. Keep your eyes and heart open and gifts will appear. Suzan Proia, C.Ht. is an EFT practitioner, an intuitive counselor and a hypnotherapist. Her international private practice is based on Maui.

Surrender To “Love’s Will�
By Anne Rice We have only two choices – to surrender to love’s will or not. At any given moment, we choose to go in either of these two directions, consciously or not. “Love’s willâ€? is a broad term and, if we are not careful, we might think that to follow it looks like long meaningful gazes in the supermarket when we don’t feel like gazing, or uncomfortably prolonged “spiritualâ€? hugs when personal space is what our heart wants! To follow love is to ďŹ nd what is real on our individual paths, not what we imagine conforming to love’s will would look like. When the concepts in our minds about love deďŹ ne our paths, we’re usually choosing the opposite of love’s will. This is not to say it is “wrongâ€? to do so, it just takes more effort and creates discomfort. Getting clear about our concepts of what “loveâ€? is and is not opens the way for the truth of love to step into the lead. Love does not dominate or submit. Love is strong, clear and free of control dynamics. Love is not judgmental and superior. Love holds deep vision from empathy. Love does not disempower others with excessive caretaking, but trusts in the inherent strength in others. Love does not demand of others. Love transcends co-dependence with true devotion. Love’s will is a radical, inner non-conformity expressed uniquely through each person. As Sheik Sidi Al-Jamal says, “Break all false idols.â€? In other words, extract your power from all outer dictates and dependencies that have controlled your choices like money, others’ perceptions or intuitions and your own conditioned beliefs. Listen ďŹ rst to the authority of your own heart. Anne Rice, MA, BMP, HP, CH. ACH, ST has a private practice on Maui. She works with individuals, couples and teaches classes.

Finding Your Mixed Intentions
By Julie Migneault, MBA Spring brings the energy of transformation and you may have begun this New Year with clear intentions of what you want to create in your life. As we’ve moved through the ďŹ rst months of the year, I’m wondering how is it going for you? Many times, as we hold our clear intentions for what we want (trusting they will manifest), we get frustrated when they don’t seem to happen! Right? If you’ve ever experienced this, you may be unaware of underlying mixed intentions. A mixed intention occurs when we are consciously aware of what we want and yet we have unconscious thoughts that oppose our conscious intentions. Your intention may be, “I am living a loving relationship.â€? You visualize and hold focused attention on this and yet, it doesn’t show up. This is a good time to ďŹ nd any unconscious thoughts or beliefs that are clouding your clear intentions. Allow yourself to dive into the unknown and bring awareness to any mixed intentions. For example, “When I’m in a loving relationship‌. I may have to sacriďŹ ce things I truly love.â€? Aha! A mixed intention that is sabotaging your creative process! But don’t despair. This is merely a beautiful opportunity for new awareness so you can make a new choice. Start by being with and challenging the mixed intentions that no longer serve your heart’s longings. Are they true at this point in your life? Are you willing and able to release them? As the light shines upon what has existed in darkness, it immediately transforms into its true nature. This step of ďŹ nding mixed intentions is a beautiful part of the creative process. Once you embrace this step, you ďŹ nd yourself moving through old beliefs and stepping forward into your brilliant self! Julie Migneault is a channel and transformational coach. She supports spiritual entrepreneurs and individuals in thriving. Contact her at 808.446.5426 or e-mail her at julie@julie-migneault.com for a free consultation.

Hum And Rejuvenate!
By Joule L’adara Many of us would love to spend more time on self-healing practices, but the realities of our lives often leave us with little time for ourselves. Even setting an hour aside for meditation can be difďŹ cult when there seemingly aren’t enough minutes in the day for all of life’s daily tasks. Yet here’s a simple practice that you can do in as little as ďŹ ve minutes! Sit comfortably on the oor or on a chair with your spine straight. Concentrate on your breath and allow your belly to relax and expand with each inhalation and exhalation. Put your lips together with your teeth closed, but without clenching your jaw. Relax your tongue so that it is lying with the tip against your lower teeth. Now, take several deep breaths and gently allow your vocal chords to come together in a soft hum. Concentrate on sending delicious vibrations down into your torso as well as vibrating your skull and bones. Notice how these sensations make your body feel. Keep humming in a relaxed manner for as long as it feels good to do so. To conclude, sit in glorious silence for a couple minutes, in welcome peace. A good time to do this is right after you wake up in the morning. Or, set aside a timer to go off in the middle of your day and take a time-out for rejuvenating humming. No matter how little time you have, you can always give yourself a few minutes of self-love though sonic nourishment. When done regularly, you may be surprised at how simultaneously energizing and relaxing such a simple practice can be! Joule L’adara hosts “Sounding Circles Radioâ€? on the Contact Talk Radio Network, also available on iTunes as a free podcast. She produces the yearly “Sounding Circles Intensiveâ€? taking place on the Big Island in July at Kalani Oceanside Retreat. Visit soundingcircles.com.

Healthy To Say “I’m Sorry�
By Judy Levy So, a funny thing happened with my article in the last issue (Where Are All the Good Men?). A few men apparently took offense to the notion that there are fewer (in my humble observation) “conscious men of my generation or younger,� here on Maui, than there are fabulous “conscious goddesses.� So, the odds seem to be in favor of men of all ages on Maui having a banquet of choices of women to select from as dating partners. One dear male friend actually heard from a few men that they were insulted by my perception. He texted me, “Well you have successfully emasculated all the men on Maui!� “Wow!� I thought, “Gee, I didn’t think I was that powerful!� That was certainly not my intention! In hindsight, I should have said upfront that I’ve met many wonderful and fascinating men here; however, most of them are already in committed relationships. So, to all the fabulous, conscious men I’ve met here, I am sorry if I offended you, or any men on Maui, for that matter. I wrote the piece as “tongue in cheek� and found out that lots of you do read, and take to heart, this magazine’s articles. I came here to make friends, not enemies, so feel free to come by the Lotus Heart if you want to show me how wrong I am, and how many of you “delicious men� there really are here! I’m open to being really wrong. Meanwhile, it’s good for my health to practice, Ho’O’Pono’Pono and say I’m sorry; I made a mistake. Please forgive me. Stay healthy and keep smiling! Judy Levy, Reiki master, mystical wise woman and co-creator of Temple of Peace - Lotus Heart in Haiku, and new Lotus Heart II in Paia invites you to come feel the “Vortex of Peace� and browse the selection of books, gifts, crystals, clothing, jewelry and more.

Aligning Your Choices
By Heather Gangnier People want to make healthy choices and it isn’t always easy to actually make them and keep making them. This conundrum is easily explained because the part of our minds that makes choices, sets goals and operates on willpower is the conscious mind. It is the smallest part of our minds with very limited processing capacity and little or no creative power. The part that is actually the doer and generates behavior is the subconscious mind. Behaviors are generated from thoughts and their corresponding emotions and they are stored at the subconscious level of awareness. Most people who have tried to use willpower to end an old habit or to start a new behavior or lifestyle can probably relate to the futility or struggle that is often experienced when relying on willpower alone to transition them from the old and unwanted behavior to the new, healthier choice. For others, these shifts seem to be easy or effortless. What makes the difference? Well, from a hypnotherapeutic standpoint, those who have trouble with the shift are operating from opposing belief systems held at the subconscious level. The new goal, or healthy choice, is set by their conscious mind and is not in alignment with the thoughts and feelings they hold at the deeper, subconscious level. Those who experience ease and success are simply choosing something that is already in alignment with the thoughts and feelings they hold at the subconscious level. The basic operating principle in hypnotherapy is to bring the subconscious mind into alignment with the conscious mind. Hypnotherapy assists the client in amending opposing or limiting belief systems held at the subconscious level, therefore creating alignment with the new healthy choices they desire to achieve. Then healthy choices or goals are easily achieved. Heather Gangnier LMT, CHT, NLPP, offers sessions in massage therapy, hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming and rebirthing as well as hypnotherapy classes.

Investing For Income
By James Frazier Recently, I went on a business trip to meet with many current and potential clients. Perhaps not surprisingly, one consistent theme stood out above all of the topics that were discussed during this trip: peoples’ incomes are getting squeezed by a tight jobs market and low interest rates, and they are looking to their investment portfolios to help boost income and make ends meet. The main challenge with investing for higher returns is that the risks are also higher. For example, investors are paid more to lend to lower credit quality borrowers who have a greater risk of bankruptcy. Stocks can pay nice dividends, but their values can uctuate widely. Ultimately, investors must determine how much risk they can tolerate and diversify across a range of investments to lower the risk of an investment going bad. For some, ratcheting up the risk in their portfolios isn’t an option that feels right. I would point out that the other side of making ends meet is keeping expenses under control. Frugality may be a semi-forgotten art, but it is making a big comeback these days. It can be a fun exercise in building community. My favorite way to cut costs is to share things with friends and neighbors, such as tools, vehicles, internet connections‌..you name it. Finally, consider non-traditional investments. Loans to local small businesses can generate a healthy yield while keeping your investment dollars right here on island. With tax credits, installing a solar system can generate attractive returns while reducing the fossil fuels that are burned to power our grid. With a little creativity, you can do well and do good. James Frazier is a local, green and sustainable investment specialist with Natural Investments, LLC, an investment advisor registered with the SEC. He helps people build innovative portfolios that meet their ďŹ nancial goals and have a positive impact on society and the environment. Contact him at 808.876.1786 or at james@naturalinvestments.com.

Releasing Blocks To Great Sex
By Sonia Borg, Ph.D. Why live with sexual, intimacy and relationship concerns if you don’t have to? Sex is our birthright and is a large part of our overall health and well-being. If you make the right choices, you can have the best sex of your life. Many people who are trying to change a behavior do not get the results they want because they are trying to make the change by using willpower. Willpower is part of the conscious mind. It can only handle 1-3 tasks at a time and compromises only 3-5% of your total power. So, once you focus your attention on the task at hand, willpower loses its power, so to speak, and you will behave according to your subconscious programming. How many times have you agreed to positive and new behaviors with your partner only to find yourselves responding to one another the same old way? My book, Transformative Sex Therapies addresses concerns at the root. Clients appreciate the methods because they do not use willpower, but rather the virtual unlimited power of the subconscious mind that is available to all of us. The change feels natural, gradual and, compared to other methods, easy. There are options and choices that work to free you from the blocks holding you back from having the best sex of your life. Transformative Sex Therapies gets results in about 1-6 sessions on average and can address issues surrounding sex, relationships, communication and intimacy. It can even help you get clarity on what you do want! Dr. Sonia Borg, sex therapist, PhD, MPH, MA, CHt, uses nontouch therapeutic methods at her Wailuku office and via phone. She is a bestselling author and has written five books. For more information call 808.250.1849.

Ayurveda Heals Mind/Heart
By Uma Gal According to ancient Vedic science, the spiritual mind is called “chitta nadi,” the stream of consciousness that flows from the heart. In Buddhism, prostrations are offered to body, speech and mind, purifying one’s karmic defilements. When you bring your hands to your heart, you offer homage to the enlightened mind of the Buddha and purify your own mind’s obscurations. Thus, the mind is interconnected with the heart. Throughout the years, I have personally observed that working with the mind/heart through Ayurveda and Pancha Karma (purification cleansing methods) balance other systems of the body - physical, mental and emotional. An effective treatment used to help create this balance is Shiro Dhara. Shiro means head and dhara means flow. This subtle yet powerful treatment has been given in India for thousands of years and is an important tool for the pursuit of higher states of consciousness. The treatment consists of a continuous flow of warm oil, water or herbal milk over the third eye and forehead for approximately twenty minutes. The herbs and oils that are used nourish the white and grey matter of the brain which allows for deep, inner surrender. It heals diseases of the head, facial palsy, Parkinson’s, psoriasis, hypertension due to anxiety, and chronic migraine headaches. The benefits include more clarity and concentration, a calm and revised central nervous system, improved memory and intellect and, as a result, an open heart. Fire is his head. The sun and moon his eyes, space his ears. The wind his breath, the universe his heart. From his feet, the earth has originated.

Treating Acid Indigestion
By Jackie and Dave Reed In Ayurveda, acid indigestion is known as Amlapitta. It is a common, widespread condition of painful or difďŹ cult digestion. It may be accompanied by a bacteria in the stomach, Helicobacter pylori. Smoking is also a high risk factor. Another cause is the widespread use of NSAIDS. The symptoms of acid indigestion include heartburn, bloating, belching, fatigue, nausea, headache, burning sensation in the chest and throat, and other stomach discomfort. Stress and depression should also be considered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is food to one man is bitter poison to othersâ&#x20AC;? is an Ayurvedic quote that emphasizes how important it is for us to eat the proper foods for our constitutions (doshas). Understanding our constitutions and imbalances is necessary to make the right dietary choices. Yoga practices - like moon salutation and shoulder stands - are of great beneďŹ t. A classic herbal formula should include anti-inďŹ&#x201A;ammatories, demulcents, digestives, and herbs that address the H. pylori. The most important herb is neem. It not only ďŹ ghts against H. pylori but also has an anti-ulcer effect similar to the popular drugs for dyspepsia and hyperacidity. For similar reasons, an herb as important as neem is licorice. Together they are a very powerful duo. With prolonged use, licorice raises blood pressure. Tumeric and kaishore guggul both have powerful anti-inďŹ&#x201A;ammatory properties. Consider adding amlalaki or bhumyamalaki to your formula for the astringent effect. A demulcent is also needed, so consider vidari. Ginger and/or fennel is necessary to kindle the digestive ďŹ re. By combining an herbal formula with the above mentioned herbs, the causes as well as the symptoms can be effectively addressed for the sufferer of acid indigestion. Jackie and Dave Reed own and operate Maui Herbs, an Ayurveda Healing Center in Kihei. They are both clinical Ayurveda specialists. Jackie specializes in pulse analysis. Dave is also a chiropractor and Vedic Astrologer. For more information call 808. 879.9920 or visit their website at MauiHerbs.net.
Transits Assist Choices
By Eliza Bassett Our birth charts give potential patterns of energy from which our souls can express their uniqueness. The relationship between planets and the angles of the chart (Ascendant/Descendant, Midheaven/Nadir) create a network of information that our souls can use to achieve this lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals. Depending upon the position of planets in our natal charts, there can be an astrological inďŹ&#x201A;uence that creates a great challenge to the usual life ďŹ&#x201A;ow. Since the birth chart is a snapshot of a moment in time, all of the planets continue to move along the ecliptic through the zodiac, thus they make aspects via their movement (aka transit) to the natal chart. The outer planets move very slowly thus they modify our lives through their unique stresses. Uranusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inďŹ&#x201A;uence can bring sudden and abrupt changes. Like a tornadoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach, a person can feel and see it coming. Some people enjoy knowing that changes are approaching and prepare accordingly. Thus, a healthy choice can be made. Neptuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit inďŹ&#x201A;uence is more elusive. It can bring an illusion that all is safe, yet there is danger from nearby waters. Also, attractions that creep into addiction can manifest. Thus, healthy choices are a must during this transit. Gently using self-discipline to maintain or upgrade routines is important. Being in a healthy community and asking others to help you keep clear of self-delusions is another way of staying alert during this inďŹ&#x201A;uence. Presently, Neptune is in Pisces, the sign it rules, which heightens its ability to diffuse reality. Plutoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inďŹ&#x201A;uence can bring total destruction of a clear-cut, nuclear variety if its persistent nudges are refused. Truly vested with helping you break free of old structures, patterns and the past, Pluto demands different choices. Presently it is in Capricorn bringing amazing transformations to how we structure business and use resources. Eliza Bassett is an astrologer and shamanic practitioner.

The Fruit Of Silence
By Christophe Javon-Lynn Trust your own feelings, instincts and intuition. They hint at your true nature. Become your own master which, in time, comes with complete surrender. Be still. From silence, the voice of the awakened mind can be heard and all choices become crystal clear. Yesterday, at the end of the day, I was listening to sacred music by Franz Liszt which opened me up to a heart-melting mood. I lay in bed, next to my sweet family already all cozy and fast asleep. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not doing any spiritual practice, not praying - just in bliss, melting in positive thoughts. I empty the thoughts and drink the spaciousness of just being. The more I empty, the more positive thoughts come back in streams of realization, ďŹ&#x201A;ooding me with tears of joy: There is nothing to get, nothing to pray for - that is true surrendering. The mind is not needed to be one with God. The surrender in silence is the melting in oneness. What I truly want has no obstacles. Obstacles are stories created by the mind. What I truly want is to be a servant to love and joy at all times - that is ultimate bliss. It is not possible to be offended (only the small mind can be). It is not possible to not love every moment and everyone. All it takes is the silence that becomes liquid bliss, the space that is the permanent state inside. It is then no coincidence that today I came across this poem by Mother Theresa: The fruit of Silence is Prayer The fruit of Prayer is Love The fruit of Love is Service The fruit of Service is Silence. Christophe has been dedicated to the study of experiential and yogic systems for over 20 years. He offers private sessions and spiritual practices for self â&#x20AC;&#x153;re-awakeningâ&#x20AC;? in Haiku. Visit original-nature.com.

Choose To Regenerate
By Kalei Allen Spring is a time of regeneration, new beginnings, and a renewal of spirit. Seeds sprout, ďŹ&#x201A;owers bloom, and the sun warms the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;aina. As new life emerges, we too can choose to enjoy a deep sense of renewal. Spring is the ideal time for cleansing and rejuvenation for overall health and wellbeing and is especially suited for treating or preventing liver disease. In traditional Chinese medicine, each season corresponds to a season, a yin and yang organ, and to body systems. Spring corresponds to the wood element, which is all about growth, change and expansion. Wood heralds the beginning of life, springtime and buds, sensuality and lushness. Spring also corresponds to the liver, its complementary organ the gallbladder, and to the eyes and the tendons. When the liver is stressed and overworked, a person will tend to feel irritable and cranky. They may be restless and unable to get to sleep at night, but feel groggy and â&#x20AC;&#x153;hung overâ&#x20AC;? in the morning. Hypertension, hypoglycemia, migraine headaches, PMS symptoms, allergies, abdominal pain and skin conditions can all occur when the liver is burdened. The combination of colon hydrotherapy and Far Infrared sauna is a powerful way to quickly cleanse and regenerate. Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the colon, hydrates the entire body, restores the proper pH, stimulates the immune system and assists the liver, kidneys and lymph system in releasing toxins. Far Infrared saunas help detoxify the body by removing heavy metals, boosting the immune system, and stimulating enzyme activity. Herbal and energetic remedies address the overall health of your liver as well as treat stress, anger and frustration, which are often associated with liver qi disharmony. Kalei Allen is an acupuncturist and colon hydrotherapist at the Laniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aina Wellness Center in Kihei. Visit her on the web at Laniaina. com and contact Kalei at 808.875.4669 for more information on a spring cleanse.
You Are Not Weak-Willed
By Barbara Ensign Cht. Willpower: a combination of determination and self- discipline that enables somebody to do something despite the difďŹ culties. How many times have you tried to make a positive choice or change and relied on your willpower only to have failed, days, weeks or even months later? Why is that? Your mind knows exactly what choices it wants to make but you ďŹ nd yourself going back to those old, undesirable choices. Did you know that your willpower is part of your conscious mind and it is designed to help you achieve short- term goals? So, your willpower is actually doing exactly what it is supposed to do. You are not weak-willed or a failure. Long-term, permanent changes need to be made on the subconscious level. Once you make a conscious decision to make better choices, you must inform your subconscious of the changes, so the conscious and subconscious minds are congruent, working together. It becomes a very powerful force. No longer are you saying one thing and doing another. This can all be achieved through the power of your own mind. The key is that the new choices are truly the choices that you want to make. Some of the ways to reprogram your subconscious can be through meditation, releasing and surrendering to a higher power, paying attention to your dreams and hypnosis. Whether the healthy choices you want to make are for your mind, body, or for your spiritual fulďŹ llment, may you ďŹ nd peace and happiness and may you know that each and every day is a new day to share your unique gifts with the world, to live the life you were meant to live and to be the person that you were meant to be. Barbara Ensign is an experienced hypnotherapist, specializing in assisting people on a spiritual path to live their heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose and a more soul-directed life.

Gain Energy And Vitality
By Bruce Frantzis People often ask me what single practice I recommend for abundant energy, health and vitality. While in China, I practiced dozens of tai chi and qigong sets, some with more than 100 movements. Even the most basic tai chi forms have at least 24 different movements and require many months or years to learn. I was looking for an exercise that would give me 80 percent of the beneďŹ ts in as few movements as possible. On my quest, I found a 1500 year-old system called Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong. Dragon and Tiger Qigong is said to have originated in the Shaolin temple in Central China. After the Communist Revolution, one of the high clergy allowed it to be released to the public in order to preserve this cultural treasure. Since he had no living male relatives, he taught his niece, Zhang Jai Hua. I learned directly from her. As a doctor of Chinese medicine and vice president of the All-China Qigong Association, Zhang and was extremely proďŹ cient in the use of qigong for medical purposes. In the 15 years of active teaching during the 60s and 70s, she qualiďŹ ed more than 20,000 instructors who, in turn, spread Dragon and Tiger Qigong to 20 million Chinese people. What is special about Dragon and Tiger Qigong? First, it is unique because you use your hands to trace the primary acupuncture meridians of your body, effectively giving you an energetic massage. Second, it only has seven movements, takes just 15 minutes and it can be learned by virtually anyone. Last, the set is designed to generate chi (energy/life force), create deep relaxation and release stress in your system. Dragon and Tiger Qigong is a truly amazing gift from China.

By Paul W. Gangnier â&#x20AC;&#x153;For Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sakes!â&#x20AC;? As my 3½-year-old son would say. Here I am struggling to write this article thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can I make a difference? What can I say to be of service?â&#x20AC;? My son, in this short time in his body, has given me so much, including many words of wisdom and a constant barrage of homework on anger and patience, especially being a single parent. He often makes wise comments like â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you die all you have to do is go to God and ask him for another body Papa.â&#x20AC;? My son, Gavin, also came up with the title for this article. I was sneaking a little writing in earlier today, as he was playing by himself. The words came right out of the blue as if he was not even aware of them at all. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the middle of the night and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m writing because those words were nagging me to awaken, cut loose the original article I had begun, and write anew, using Gavinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wake up, your mind is over.â&#x20AC;? Not sure how you feel, but in my world, what kid or person says this? These words together make no sense to most of the population and this is why I write. This is why I produce movies. This is why I am alive. The truth is Gavin is right â&#x20AC;&#x201C; our minds are over! The awakened beings on this planet live this every day. It is our root driving force. When we live in our minds, we are not truly alive! We are spirit energy beings and these bodies, including our minds, are tools for our spirits to use to accomplish our tasks. Minister Paul W.

By Jacyntha Kamor Taylor The dense, undulating, oceanic embrace of liquid crystal releases all contractions and cleanses all suffering. Safe in the buoyant lap of Mother Ocean, my cellular depths learn about trust, intimacy, love, and inďŹ nity until I can feel the ďŹ&#x201A;uid nature of my own essence through and beyond all endings and new beginnings. Like the ocean, our Sacral Chakra can be a source of healing and mystical wisdom. The Sacral Chakra (Sanskrit for wheel) is the vortex of swirling energy that we feel in our pelvic area. The element of this chakra is water. It is our inner ocean of chi, or life-energy. Here, our sensual, sexual, and creative energies and our deep emotions are like liquid music - powerful, meaningful, and ever-changing. We can go from drowning in unending suffering to dissolving in tantric bliss. Managing our sensuality and our emotions in a way that brings us balanced and peaceful joy is one of the most challenging tasks of our humanity. The Divine State of the Sacral Chakra is made up of Sacred Pleasure and Autonomy. The Core Wound here is Abandonment, which brings up the primary emotion of Grief. When we lose our Sacred Pleasure, we will turn to compensatory pleasures to divert our attention from the desolation. But ďŹ&#x201A;eeting distractions will not heal the depths of emptiness and can quickly become unhealthy habits or even severe addictions. Our deepest soul desires can lead us back to our internal fount of Sacred Pleasure to nourish and clarify our unique autonomy in the world. One vital step is to release sub-conscious patterns of self-abandonment. Eventually, we can learn to stay connected to an inner source of true happiness no matter what is happening around us.

Creating Relationships Of Gold
By Jane Eldridge When I experience a relationship with a foundation of integrity and clear agreements, I find it refreshing and call it “gold.” If conflict arises, we each take personal responsibility for our experiences and instead of blaming others, we look within to learn and grow. After self exploration, we share what was learned and apologize for any harsh words or behavior. Then, if appropriate, we make some new agreements. The beginning of a new relationship can seem just “perfect.” However, as the relationship deepens, reactive buttons may be pushed. Perceptions becomes distorted and fueled by the accumulation of held feelings. When we view the world through the lens of fear, sadness or anger, it is easier to say and do things that we later regret. If we shut down or focus on blaming others, we miss the opportunity to experience what can be learned. What is this situation teaching me? What do I need to heal? How can I respond in a positive way? Some couples have shared that years and years of unresolved conflicts have undermined the deep love that they once experienced. Partners give up and shut down in grief and anger, fueled by the illusion of blame and end up using each other as targets for the arrows of unresolved feelings. After understanding what happened to create such painful separation and with skillful intervention, many partners are able to renew their love. If they choose to separate, I teach them how to create peaceful closure and maintain a healthy foundation of partnership for the sake of their children. May we all be stronger and clearer in our intention to support peaceful relationships. Jane Eldridge is a licensed marriage and family therapist who integrates psychological understanding with the foundation of spiritual awareness. She is an experienced relationship specialist and offers deep healing through body-centered therapy. For more information, call 808.268.7750 or email JEldridge8@gmail.com.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Creatures Of Habit
By Maurgana Stiastny We are creatures of habit and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing. As we learn all the myriad of behaviors that make up who we are - standing, walking, eating, speaking, reading, writing and social interaction - we habituate these motor skills, habits and behaviors. Habits create a more efďŹ cient means of living. They ensure our survival as well. As we develop and grow, some of our habituated patterns, upon later, more mature review, may no longer serve us. Some habits may be unhealthy or even destructive. So making healthy choices is a simple thing to say and think about, but a complex process internally. We are often forced to choose against ingrained traits that we are comfortable and familiar with. Choosing implies intention and consciousness. Often we live our lives without conscious thought and presence, simply relying on our habituated patterns - good, bad or indifferent. Step one in making healthy choices is recognizing the interplay of the habitual mind and the volitional mind. Knowing that our habituation is in the realm of our subconscious compels us to take our time and move methodically with intention. This approach ensures that our new, healthy choices become our new, healthy habits, overriding the outmoded ones. Making new choices is a discipline. It requires consistency, intention, attention and it needs to be nourishing in some way or you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. Be kind and gentle with yourself. We learn by repetition, so stick with it and make it fun or at least keep a sense of humor. At times it can seem daunting to let go of our comfort zones and stretch to the new, more expanded version of ourselves. It is good to reach out for support at times to encourage and support us in making healthy changes. Maurgana Stiastny has been an acupuncturist and natural healthcare practitioner for 23 years. Find her at the Quan Yin Healing Center located on the North Shore of Maui or call her at 808.579.8810.
This Body Is Fire By Angela Hardin â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physician, heal thyself.â&#x20AC;? According to the Charak Samhita, a branch of Vedic literature about life and immortality, we are our own greatest healer, fully capable of ending individual suffering caused by stress, disease and emotional discourse. But how do we access that power? Energy healer and spiritual teacher Matthew Reifslager has created a system that describes the human physiology in a revolutionary way. He has received information since his early twenties through a self-referral communion with his InďŹ nite Higher Being. Matthew explains that the human physiology is comprised of the same ďŹ ve elements that make up our planet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; earth, water, ďŹ re, air and space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This body, what you call energy, it is actually ďŹ re. The earth center is Mother Earth. The water center is nourishment. The air center is air, oxygen. The space center is perception, consciousness. The body is just ďŹ re,â&#x20AC;? he says. Digestion, metabolism and transformation are the primary functions of the element ďŹ re. This includes not only digestion of food, but also of emotions and all life experiences. Fire is our source of power. During a recent training session on elemental physiology, Matthew explained, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The body is the ďŹ re. It digests. It essentially experiences all of the other primary energies. We have sexual needs, nutritional needs, we have need of air, and we have all kinds of emotional needs. The ďŹ re is what allows
you to experience the higher values of all of these so-called needs. The ďŹ re is responsible for the transformation, for the absorption of all of these energies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; emotional energy of the mind, pranic energy of the breath, nutritional energy of the water, reproductive and grounding energy of the earth.â&#x20AC;? Since the fire also digests or transforms emotions, when one has a weak digestive ďŹ re, the digestion of emotions is also weak. This explains why a strong sensation of hunger may result in an uproar of emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thoughts and emotions and perceptions, all of these things, they are actually the expression of the health of the ďŹ re.â&#x20AC;? This fire can be stoked and strengthened through proper fuel and nourishment. Water is a main source of life that comprises a large portion of both the human physiology and the earth. We can strengthen the ďŹ re by eating foods that are fresh, recently living and high in water content, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry and seafood. Maui residents have the advantage of easy access to a variety of fresh foods. Canned, frozen, dried or highly processed foods are nearly devoid of life force and should generally be avoided. Consuming foods such as simple sugars or grains is like throwing paper in the ďŹ re â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it will burn quickly and leave an ashy residue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to give the ďŹ re clean fuel, and we also want to give the ďŹ re the right amount of fuel. If the ďŹ re is powerful, the body is powerful. If the body is powerful, you are powerful. Strengthen the ďŹ re and you strengthen yourself.â&#x20AC;? Through his non-profit organization, The
Wholeness, Matthew has had thousands of private consultations with clients from around the world suffering from physical, mental and emotional ailments. He founded The Wholeness to assist people in awakening to their own Divine Presence. Angela Hardin lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico and is a licensed massage therapist. She recently became a certified Wholeness Facilitator with the Wholeness Community. For more information about The Wholeness, and upcoming events April 18-27 on Maui, visit thewholeness.com or call 888.828.2271.

Engaging Lasers For Healing
By Laura Monaco We are all aware of laser technology in laser scanners at the store checkout, in blue ray audio/video equipment, and in weapons of mass destruction. But, most of us are unaware of how helpful and safe a class of lasers (called low level lasers) is for promoting health. There are over 3500 published articles and clinical studies regarding this exciting class of therapeutic lasers. In the late 1960s, researchers found that when a ruby red laser light penetrates into the mitochondria of our cells, the light supplies photon energy for production of ATP. Cells regenerate and reproduce with this biochemical energy fuel source. This process is similar to photosynthesis in plants. Lasers for healing come in a rainbow of colors - red, infrared, green, blue, and violet. The red spectrum lasers are used the most. Research shows that DNA is repaired with low level lasers. Some lasers promote the unwinding of trauma and aid in detoxification. Laser research for health enhancement and anti-aging applications is in the infancy stage. There are no negative side-effects and very few contraindications with laser light therapy. As I have adapted my massage technique over the past six years to include laser therapy, I have witnessed an increase in the speed of healing, in the range of joint motion and a decrease in inflammation and nerve pain. All of the benefits of massage are enhanced with laser therapy. I believe that someday every household will have a laser for ‘healing’ everything from staph infections to herpes, from tinitis and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), to the common cold and even slowing the aging process. Clearly therapeutic healing lasers are an enormous contribution to society. They are used worldwide and gaining acceptance in hospitals, dental clinics and with veterinarians. One of my favorite lasers, the Quantumwave, is FDA approved. Laura Monaco is a licensed Mauibased massage therapist and laser technician. For further information, contact her at 808.283.7415.

Making Healthy Food Choices
By Mary Lane What we eat, when we eat it, and why we eat it are important questions to ask ourselves. There are a multitude of opinions about making healthy choices, so what is a person to do? There are obvious choices, and those that may be good for one, but not for another. Healing our relationship with food and the earth that provides it is an empowering place to start following your own compass. The most powerful way I know to follow my own compass (and trust it) is to align with the compass of nature where I live. Eating the natural food she offers locally supports me to embody her wisdom. The seasonal foods have energetic qualities that are in sync with her rhythm around the yearly cycle. We are infused with her wisdom when we eat what, when, and where she offers it. This strengthens our own body’s deep self-similar wisdom, and it will naturally want what is healthy. Another important piece is healing our ability to “receive.” Gratitude is a key ingredient and energetic posture for receiving nourishment. When we receive with gratitude, it supports us to let go of old collective beliefs passed down through generations of not feeling worthy. When we know we are worthy of all the nourishment life has to offer us, we are able to be present and make choices from our own inner-knowing instead of based on old beliefs or relying on opinions outside of ourselves. Making healthy food choices is connected to our relationship with ourselves and the world in which we live. The wisdom of nature supports a healthy relationship with life. It’s literally true, “You are what you eat.” Mary Lane is author of Divine Nourishment, A Woman’s Sacred Journey with Food. She offers private consultations, hikes, retreats and classes supporting women to transform self- rejection to self-love and honor through the doorway of nourishment. Visit divinenourishment.net or call 808.264.5514.
Consciously Choosing
By Saâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;arah Esther Felix How can we make more conscious choices instead of just being on autopilot doing what we have always done, with variations according to our beliefs? Whenever we make a choice, we need to become aware of what the choice based on. Is fear, frustration or resistance the driving force or does the choosing come from a deeper space of love and joy? And then the question arises, how can we access this deeper space of knowingness, this deep level within our whole being? One way is becoming aware of our beliefs in each chakra or energy center â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which beliefs are running the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; like judgment, denial, guilt, fear, etc. By bringing in a deeper awareness, we start loosening the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grip.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The more our patterns become transparent, the more we can choose differently in a more conscious way. In the beginning this could be confusing, as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; may try to hold on, but at the same time wants to be released. And yet the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;newâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; might not really be there yet. For most of us, becoming more aware and conscious is a step-by-step evolution of expanding into feeling and sensing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really going on. And another basic ingredient is trust, trusting in the process. Some of the products that have helped me along my journey are what I call the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sacred Awakeningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sacred Sexualityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; essences, which are homeopathic, highfrequency light essences. As they balance each chakra, they support me in becoming more and more aware of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on and bringing each chakra more into light and love. Saâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;arah Esther Felix is an intuitive healer and creatrix of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sacred Awakeningâ&#x20AC;? card deck with which she gives readings. She supports people in their awakening by helping them to release tensions and traumas, guiding them to a more peaceful and balanced life. Call 808.264.5698 or visit SacredAwakening.net.

Ways To Raise Your Vibration
By Rev. Debbie Dehm Scientists have discovered that everything that exists has a unique vibration and having the highest vibration possible is normally considered a good thing. For example, when dealing with essential oils, lavender has a lower vibration than rose oil. In humans, vibration can depend on many things, and a sick person will have a much lower vibration than a healthy person. People say that when a person is considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritual,â&#x20AC;? they vibrate at a higher frequency than the average person. When I counsel someone who wants to pursue a more spiritual path in life, I give them guidelines to help them raise their vibration. I have found these things to be very helpful for both my students and for myself. Some of the behaviors listed are harmful if done in excess and others are things that keep your vibration lower than you may be striving for. If you can let them go, you will make more progress. Other things on the list will raise your vibration. 1. Stop drinking alcohol or using any unnecessary drugs. 2. Stop watching TV or reading the newspaper. 3. Avoid negative people or situations. 4. Eat healthy food and drink puriďŹ ed water. 5. Read uplifting books and watch inspirational movies (I have a list). 6. Meditate, meditate, meditate as often as possible. 7. Take walks in nature. 8. If you smoke, stop. 9. Listen to classical music, the Beatles or Michael Jackson (there is a reason for this) and avoid other rock music, rap or heavy metal. If you do all these things, you will see a signiďŹ cant increase in your inner peace and your vibration will go up. You will be happier and healthier. Try them for at least a week and see how you feel! Reverend Debbie Dehm is a nationally-certified Hawaii-licensed massage therapist and reiki master. For more information, visit her website compassionatehealing.biz or call her at 808.856.2065.
