Aloha and mahalo are among the most sacred and powerful of all the Hawaiian words. Speaking them is said to have the power to transform and heal your life, as well as protect your life's journey.
In the traditional Hawaiian culture words or sounds have manna. Scholars suggest that the word manna comes from the Egyptian term mennu, meaning "food." In Christian context manna refers to spiritual nourishment.
When I lived on the island of Maui I was fortunate to be one of the few haole (pronounced how-lee and literally means "without breath") accepted to study the ancient art of hula with Hokulani Padilla, an esteemed kuma hula (hula master), and a wise woman well versed in Hawaiian culture and lore. The word haole means foreigner, or someone who is not native to Hawaii, especially a white person.
Many wondrous spiritual events happened when I lived on the mother land of Maui. I was fortunate to directly experience some of the richness of the Hawaiian culture first hand, including an encounter with the Goddess Pelé on the morning of my 29th birthday in Haleakalā crater. Pelé, the fire goddess, is the goddess of volcanoes and creator of the Hawaiian Islands.
When I told Hokulani about my vision and experience in Haleakalā crater she told me who I had met and what the event signified. Within a few months time I was pregnant with my son, Ezra.
As I feel I've received initiation into the deeper spiritual meaning represented by the two words aloha and mahalo I'd like to offer you a glimpse into their deeper meaning. I hope what I share resonates with you and you will feel inspired to use these two words in your daily life.
Also, for the first time I open up and share a little known story that I've never shared publicly about the circumstances surrounding the birth of my son Ezra and how the goddess Pelé figures prominently in the story.
