MAGICAL SPIRIT OF MAUI

5/2/2012

Melissa:  How I lift my spirit without fail is by taking a walk or hike in nature.  I feel so connected to all of life, plus I get a great workout at the same time.  When I was on the magical island of Maui, I took advantage of many opportunities to connect with nature and soothe my soul.  Maui has a plethora of natural sites in which to deeply connect with life energy and the whole island is covered with the spirit of Aloha.  
 
On my most recent trip, I found incredible solace at the Ali’i Kula Lavendar farm.  The lavender farm is upcountry at 4,000 feet elevation on the slopes of Haleakala crater.  There are trails meandering through the lavender fields with identification of the various types of lavender.  After strolling through the delicious fields I stopped to meditate in the Native Hawaiian Garden.  My afternoon was scrumptious and complete with a visit to the shop to take home some of the lavender bliss I experienced.  
 
I will be sharing the aromatic scent of this lavender essential oil at Dragonfly’s upcoming workshop, Uplift the Spirit!   Aromatherapy using lavender has a regulating effect on the nervous system.  Lavender is widely known for its calming, soothing and stress relieving qualities and has been used by many cultures for thousands of years.  On May 19th, come live the balance and harmony that lavender essential oil brings!
 
Essential Oils are the fragrant essence of a plant or flower.  They are in liquid form and highly concentrated and create the foundation for aromatherapy.  Aromatherapy is the healing practice of using essential oils from nature such as flowers and many parts of plants like stems, bark, root, and leaves.    When the aroma of these oils is inhaled, the benefits include stimulation of brain functioning, pain relief and enhancing mood; though each essential oil has its own specific healing properties.  Aromatherapy is a form of herbal healing practices when it is used for its therapeutic properties.  Because an herb is a plant or plant part that offers its flavor, scent and therapeutic properties, aromatherapy gives the gift of natural, effective, herbal healing to soothe the soul and lift the spirit.  Aaaaaahhhhhhhhh……..

Lucy:  Last February, I set out on a healing journey to Maui.  The second I stepped onto the land and breathed in the air, I could feel the healing power of the island.  Maui is a well-known power spot for healing and renewal, much like Sedona, Stonehenge, and the Pyramids. 
 
People who are “burnt out” by stressful lives come from all over the world to take an “energy bath” in ancient balancing energies. As the weight of the world lifts, the rhythm of the sea and the vibrancy of Haleakala volcano, the “house of the sun” can be felt as a physical and Spiritual presence beneath your feet, through the exquisite flowers and in the refreshing tropical Pacific air.  
There is legendary healing power here, power recognized by the Hawaiian shamans, the Kahunas, who still exist today in a sacred lineage. One very special reason for this is attributed to the "mana" (dynamic healing powers) contained in the sacred bones of ancestral Hawaiian kings buried long ago on the "valley isle".
 
Hawaii is the birthplace of Reiki in the western world. Hundreds of thousands of subtle energy workers trace their lineage to a Japanese American Reiki Master named Hawayo Takata who was born at the turn of this century in the Hawaii.
 
Hawayo Takata journeyed to Japan in the 1930s, received Reiki healing treatments for several serious ailments. We are told she received a complete healing of all of her conditions. Then, she learned from Reiki Master Chujiro Hayashi the recovered secrets of this 19th century Japanese laying on of hands Spiritual energy healing technique. Until Mrs. Takata brought Reiki and her teacher, Dr. Hayashi, to the Hawaiian islands Reiki was virtually unknown outside of Japan.

Reiki is a self empowering energy healing technique which is quickly and easily learned and can be used every day to achieve balance and relieve stress. I am excited to share the healing Reiki energies during our next workshop in May.  I also ecstatic about offering Moving Into the Light, our signature women’s retreat in 2013!  It will be a blissful week in paradise.

I stumbled across this site and felt you may be interested in a short ceremony we are performing on Summer Solstice.

I wrote a letter (rant) that explains where I’m coming from, but in short, at exactly 23:09 GMT on June 20th, we will give Thanks, Love and Forgiveness to the Earth and the Universe for five minutes. We have people involved all around the world now, and if this is something you find positive, please join in. And please forward to as many like-minded folks as well. Here is the body of my “Letter to Earth”. Peace



Letter to the Earth

My soul brother Taylor said he wants to perform a ceremony on Summer Solstice. A ceremony to give Thanks to the Universe, to give Love to Existence, and to give Forgiveness to the World. At first, I thought what a nice idea. But, what if the entire planet did the same at the same time? What if we could initiate an Evolution? An Earth Evolution?

I’ve been on this planet for over fifty years, and while I’ve seen amazing events occur and great technological achievements, it seems that we humans really haven’t progressed culturally or spiritually. It’s like the human song is a record with the needle stuck in a groove. We continue to war, to hate, and to treat each other and the Earth in violent and despicable ways. If anything, we’ve become adept at these things on a Global Scale. And we the people have become desensitized to the horrors, callous to our fellow humans and quite impotent. We look away and go on our way.
It just takes the slightest tap to move the needle on the record and continue the music. And like the record, I feel that a small push from each of us can make a change. Even a small effort on a Global scale is huge. Let’s hear the human song again. I’m guessing many will say this is stupid or a waste of time. But I know that there are many who feel like me, who know the spirit in life, who do believe we can make a better World.

On Summer Solstice, June 20, 2012, at precisely 23:09 Greenwich Mean time, we simply ask for 5 minutes of your time. At this moment, wherever you may be, simply give Thanks to Your God, Your Higher Self, to whatever is Your Spiritual Truth. Give Thanks for this Life and this Experience of Soul.
Then fill Your Heart with Love. Feel it expand in your chest until it exceeds the physical body. Then let it go. Visualize it enveloping the Earth and all Humankind. Let it fill the Universe because Our Love is that powerful. Lastly, the hard part. Forgive yourself. Forgive your neighbor. Forgive your enemies. Use the same Heart Energy to Forgive each other. Five Minutes.

Together we can do better. Together we can begin this new Evolution of Life. We’re tossing a pebble into the Water. Let’s now feel the ripples.
Please invite your like-minded friends and family to join. Send this invitation across the Planet by voice, email, Facebook, mail or carrier pigeon. We want to blanket the world with Positive Energy and make a change.

Love + Forgiveness = Peace.

We sincerely give Thanks to all joining in. Taylor and Matthew and the Redmond Washington Spiritual Community


Stay Tuned For Winter Solstice…….
