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 also 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 Divine 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.
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 nice sunset; I like that dress; you're so much fun."
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, God, 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:
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.
How
to Enhance Your Power to Bless
There is a technique practiced
by Hawaiian shamans 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.
Variations
a. Instead of crown and navel, shift attention from shoulder to shoulder or
sky to earth.
b. To help focus the energy
field, imagine it in color, as a tone or chord, or as a tingle.
