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.
