Root meaning of Hawai'i
The word "Hawai'i" is not only the name of several islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, it is also the name of an ancient people.
As all Hawaiian words are conceptual in nature and have many meanings, what they mean is determined by the context in which they are used.
Let's break the word Ha-wai-i into some of it's root meanings.
"Ha" is the sacred breath of creation of life;
"wai" is the sacred water that sustains life and a symbol of great abundance;
"i" emphasizes what comes before it.
So, a very simplified translation of Hawaii is
"an abundance of the forces that create and sustain life" within these people and their islands called Hawaii, and Aloha is their way of life.
Aloha is pure joy.
Aloha is the wondrous rhythm of Life, as well as the Spirit in and behind all Creation.

The Way of Aloha
by Wayne Kealohi Powell
E Komo Mai! Aloha & Welcome!
"Are you ready to experience and follow your BLISS?
We are here as, Shamanic Bodywork, Lomilomi Temple Healing, a school of sacred bodywork, to empower you and accelerate your personal and spiritual growth.
Lomilomi comes from the aina, (land), and there are many meanings and styles of Hawaiian healing called lomilomi. All of them are a form of prayer, connecting to a higher source for healing.
In today’s world, lomilomi from all lineages and traditions is a fundamental tool for serving the spirit of aloha.
Temple Lomilomi offers the receiver the empowerment of being a temple, and taking on the responsibility of committing to the spiritual practice of loving one’s self as a path to enlightenment.
'The Way of Aloha' is a practice that emphasizes acceptance, forgiveness and cooperation through the development of spiritual awareness.
It is the cultivation of Mana (divine inner-power), friendship and unity, a very real and easily integrated practice of skills that allows the individual to explore existing personal realities while simultaneously immersing oneself in the ethic of true acceptance.
Aloha Mana means, "Miracle Love." Aloha mana is our birth right.
Mana is the principle of divine inner power that is essential to the Aloha philosophy. It encompasses the idea that each one of us has the authority to think for ourselves and live our own truth.
Kahi Loa means "Infinite Oneness".
'The Way of Aloha' is a path of love, harmony and appreciation for the beauty in all things and it is only available in the eternal moment of manawa (now).
Aloha is pure joy.
Aloha is the wondrous rhythm of Life, as well as the Spirit in and behind all Creation.
Please take a moment now and just say the word slowly:
A-lo-ha. Say it again even more slowly: A-L-O-H-A. Taste it in your heart, and feel it in your body!
What if you close your eyes and feel your energy change as you say it a few more times, letting it in while breathing deeply for one full minute can change your day, your mood and your life.
Feel the warm loving feeling this generates--the sun is shining in your heart! This is the great gift of Aloha. Enjoy!
E ho'omaika'i O la'a kea me ke aloha pau ole
Blessings of sacred light and everlasting love.
Mahalo to my friends Wayne and Patti
