“Ka Mele Ho`omaika`i”
Ho`o nani ka Makua mau
Ke Keiki me ka Uhane no,
Ke Akua mau
Ho`o mai ka`i, pu,
Ko ke ia ao, ko ke la ao."

In the kahuna tradition, words are intended to rearrange energy. This chant carries a lot of mana (power, life force energy) and provides spiritual uplifting. Today, the Hawai'ian people continue to chant E Ku Mau Mau with an understanding of kaona (hidden, double meaning). This chant brings us together and asks us to work together to accomplish our goals.

The foundation of all healing is born of forgiveness. No healing can actually take place without letting go of limiting concepts and mind structures that release, resolve and dissolve the bondage of resentment and judgement.
