The Aloha Spirit is a well known reference to the attitude of friendly acceptance for which the Hawaiian Islands are so famous. However, it also refers to a powerful way to resolve any problem, accomplish any goal, and to achieve any state of mind or body that you desire.
In the Hawaiian language, aloha stands for much more than just ??hello? or ??goodbye? or ??love.? Its deeper meaning is ??the joyful (oha) sharing (alo) of life energy (ha) in the present (alo).?
As you share this energy you become attuned to the Universal Power that the Hawaiians call mana. And the loving use of this incredible Power is the secret for attaining true health, happiness, prosperity and success.
The way to tune into this Power and have it work for you is so simple that you might be tempted to pass it off as being too easy to be true. Please don’t let yourself be fooled by appearances. Take the time to try it out.
This is the most powerful technique in the world, and although it is extremely simple it may not prove easy, because you must remember to do it and you have to do it a lot. It is a secret which has been given to humanity over and over again, and here it is once more in another form. The secret is this:
Bless everyone and everything that represents what you want!
That’s all there is to it. Anything that simple, however, does need some explanation.
To bless something means to give recognition or emphasis to a positive quality, characteristic or condition, with the intent that what is recognized or emphasized will increase, endure or come into being.
Blessing is effective in changing your life or getting what you want for three reasons: First of all, the positive focus of your mind stirs up the positive, creative force of the Power of the Universe. Secondly, it moves your own energy outward, allowing more of the Power to come through you. Thirdly, when you bless for the benefit of others instead of directly for yourself, you tend to bypass any subconscious fears about what you want for yourself, and also the very focus on the blessing acts to increase the same good in your life. What is so beautiful about this process is that the blessing you do for others helps them as well as you.
Blessing may be done with imagery or touch, but the most usual and easy way to do it is with words. The main kinds of verbal blessing are:
Admiration - This is the giving of compliments or praise to something good that you notice. E.g., ??What a beautiful sunset; I like that flower; you’re such a wonderful person.?
Affirmation - This is a specific statement of blessing for increase or endurance. E.g., ??I bless the beauty of this tree; blessed be the health of your body.?
Appreciation - This is an expression of gratitude that something good exists or has happened. E.g., ??Thank you for helping me; I give thanks to the rain for nourishing the land.?
Anticipation - This is blessing for the future. E.g., ??We’re going to have a great picnic; I bless your increased income; Thank you for my perfect mate; I wish you a happy journey; May the wind be always at your back.?
In order to gain the most benefit from blessing, you will have to give up or cut way down on the one thing that negates it: cursing. This doesn’t mean swearing or saying ??bad? words. It refers to the opposite of blessing, namely criticizing instead of admiring; doubting instead of affirming; blaming instead of appreciating; and worrying instead of anticipating with trust. Whenever any of these are done they tend to cancel out some of the effects of blessing. So the more you curse the harder it will be and the longer it will take to get the good from a blessing. On the other hand, the more you bless the less harm any cursing will do.
Here, then, are some ideas for blessing various needs and desires. Apply them as often as you like, as much as you want.
Health - Bless healthy people, animals, and even plants; everything which is well made or well constructed; and everything that expresses abundant energy.
Happiness - Bless all that is good, or the good that is in all people and all things; all the signs of happiness that you see, hear or feel in people or animals; and all potentials for happiness that you notice around you.
Prosperity - Bless all the signs of prosperity in your environment, including everything that money helped to make or do; all the money that you have in any form; and all the money that circulates in the world.
Success - Bless all signs of achievement and completion (such as buildings, bridges, and sports events); all arrivals at destinations (of ships, planes, trains, cars and people); all signs of forward movement or persistence; and all signs of enjoyment or fun.
Confidence - Bless all signs of confidence in people and animals; all signs of strength in people, animals and objects (including steel and concrete); all signs of stability (like mountains and tall trees); and all signs of purposeful power (including big machines, power lines).
Love and Friendship - Bless all signs of caring and nurturing, compassion and support; all harmonious relationships in nature and architecture; everything that is connected to or gently touching something else; all signs of cooperation, as in games or work; and all signs of laughter and fun.
Inner Peace - Bless all signs of quietness, calmness, tranquility, and serenity (such as quiet water or still air); all distant views (horizons, stars, the moon); all signs of beauty of sight, sound or touch; clear colors and shapes; the details of natural or made objects.
Spiritual Growth - Bless all signs of growth, development and change in Nature; the transitions of dawn and twilight; the movement of sun, moon, planets and stars; the flight of birds in the sky; and the movement of wind and sea.
The previous ideas are for guidance if you are not used to blessing, but don’t be limited by them. Remember that any quality, characteristic or condition can be blessed (e.g., you can bless slender poles and slim animals to encourage weight loss), whether it has existed, presently exists, or exists so far in your imagination alone.
Personally I have used the power of blessing to heal my body, increase my income, develop many skills, create a deeply loving relationship with my wife and children, and to establish a worldwide network of peacemakers working with the aloha spirit. It’s because it has worked so well for me that I want to share it with you. Please share it with as many others as you can.
How to Enhance Your Power to Bless
There is a technique practiced in Hawaii which enhances your power to bless by increasing your personal energy. It is a simple way of breathing that is also used for grounding, centering, meditation and healing. It requires no special place or posture, and may be done while moving or still, busy or resting, with eyes open or closed. In Hawaiian the technique is called pikopiko because piko means both the crown of the head and the navel.
The Technique
1. Become aware of your natural breathing (it might change on its own just because of your awareness, but that’s okay).
2. Locate the crown of your head and your navel by awareness and/or touch.
3. Now, as you inhale put your attention on the crown of your head; and as you exhale put your attention on your navel. Keep breathing this way for as long as you like.
4. When you feel relaxed, centered, and/or energized, begin imagining that you are surrounded with an invisible cloud of light or an electro-magnetic field, and that your breathing increases the energy of this cloud or field.
5. As you bless, imagine that the object of your blessing is surrounded with some of the same energy that surrounds you.

Huna was initially known as ??Ho’omana?. The word ??Mana? is nothing but life force energy. Synonyms: In Japanese ??Ki?, In Chinese ??Chi? and in that very old and colorful language Sanskrit ??Prana?. Mana = Life Force Energy. ??Ho’omana?, therefore, is empowerment through life force energy.
Seven Principles of Huna
1. The world is what you think it is: This is exactly what psychologists - the mind experts say. Change your thought, you can change your attitude, behavior and thereby destiny!
2. There are no limits: The three-dimensional body supported by the five senses is not real. If we go deep in to the matter and energy, it is possible for you to come to the genesis of Universe. In the space - time universe we live, there is a common source outside what we assume as reality. In effect there are not limits.
3. Energy flows where attention goes: Our body is composed of energy and intelligence. This vibrating energy and intelligence can be converted in to any other energy field according to your thought process.
4. Now is the moment of Power: Your deeds of yesterday are history; your dreams of tomorrow are not real - you do not know what it holds, but this very moment is very real and in front of you for you to use it most positively, wholesomely for your betterment.
5. To love is to be happy with: Love is happiness. Unhappiness springs from doubt, fear, anger etc - the base instincts. If these are obliterated from your mind, Love becomes deeper and stronger.
6. All power comes form within: You are the powerhouse. You have the capability to create and this creation manifests through your belief system, mores and codes, desires, expectations as well as fears. Your thinking channeled positively will have positive power.
6. Effectiveness is a measure of truth: What is effectiveness? When the thinking and the resultant attitude and behavior are appropriate to a given situation, it is considered effective; if it is not appropriate it is ineffective.
One reason for saving the wilderness is very simple even if its philosophically impossible to substantiate, I suppose, and that is that wilderness is worth saving for its own sake. Not for human benefit or pleasure, but simply for its own existence. In other words, I’m saying that wild things and wild places have a right to exist and continue existing with no relation to human wishes. I say that bees, birds, animals, snakes, buzzerds, bugs, whatever, have a legal and moral right to continue. Even rocks have the moral right to continue being rocks. The Book of Genesis was wrong. Man was not put here to have dominion over all things. That’s Woman’s function. The Earth was here first, and all these living things before us. We are the newcomers, the late arrivals in the evolutionary pageant. Ofcourse, we, too, are products of the process. We also belong on this planet no matter how alien we may sometimes feel or often behave. We too have a right to exist here. But there’s not enough evidence to support the common and prevailing human belief that we have a right to expand our numbers indefinitely and to exploit the Earth indefinitely for our own purpose alone, at the expense of other living things and non-living things. How about this?
Rocks have rights, I’ve said. Is it not possible that rocks, hills and mountains, and the great physical body of the Earth itself may enjoy a sentience, a form of consciousness which we human cannot perceive only because of the vastly different time scales involved? For example, the mind of a mountain may be as powerful and profound as that of Buddha, Plato, Spinoza, Whitehead and Einstein. Say that a mountain takes 5,000,000 of our human or solar years to produce a single thought. But what a grand thought that single thought must be. If only we could tune in on it.
The classic philosophers of both east and west have tried for 5,000 years more or less to convince us that Mind is the basic reality, maybe the only reality and that our bodies, the Earth and the entire universe is no more than a though in the mind of God. But consider an alternative hypothesis.
That Buddha, Plato, Einstein and we are thoughts in the minds of mountains, or that all of humanity is a long, long thought in the mind of the Earth. That we are the means by which the Earth, and perhaps the universe becomes conscious of itself.
I tell you that God, if there is a god, may be the end, not the origin of this process. if so, then our relationship to the Earth is something like that of our minds to our bodies. They are interdependent. We cannot exploit or abuse our bodies without peril to our mental health and our survival.
We have definitely seen some mindless bodies dancing around us, but we have yet to observe a disembodied mind. At least I haven’t seen any. And as mind is to body, so is humanity to Earth. We cannot dishonor one without dishonoring and destroying ourselves.
