ANUENUE ~The Rainbow

The rainbow, A nue nue (AH noo eh noo eh), symbolizes connection ~ connection to the unseen realms.

We are taught in the Hawaiian Way that rainbows are actually a full circle. The other half of the rainbow is under the ground.

In our world, where only half the picture is visible, there is always a hidden side to things. The same goes for ourselves. We have the mind, which uses words, and then we have the heart which goes far beyond words. We have the outer appearance of us, and then we have our spirit.

We strive to connect to all parts of us - the conscious and the unconscious, the knowable and the unknowable. It is by connecting compassionately to the whole that we find balance in our world.

By spreading the Aloha Spirit, we act as rainbow bridge builders, connecting Hawaii to all parts of the world in love and light. Anuenue!!!

Blessings

"O Ka Pono Ka Hana 'Ia a Iho Mai Na Lani"
When You Give Blessings, Blessings Return to You.

Aloha in the Hawaiian sense actually refers to “a sharing of joyful energy within the present moment.” In other words, it’s about being “happy with” yourself and others. And the degree to which you can do this is the degree that you are able to share love.

Here, love is considered an active thing – a joyful energy that is passed between the participants.

Certainly the energy that is shared between ourselves and others is influenced by the focus of our thoughts.

So, how exactly, can we focus our thoughts to support loving relationships?

Here are 5 ways that were shared with me some time ago through the teachings of Serge King:

1. Focus on the positive qualities in yourself and others. That increases confidence. Focus on the positive benefits of the relationship(s). That increases harmony.

2. When your focus is continually drawn to past events (especially if they were unhappy,) or future events, the love is diminished. Know that love is created anew, each moment, every day. Focus your attention in the moment.

3. By blessing – that is, giving and receiving praise, acknowledgement and appreciation – love is increased. Love is decreased by the separation caused from judgment and criticism. Remember to bless often.

4. When you regularly focus to acknowledge your own source of power, your Spirit, you generate more confidence and harmony from within. That increases your loving interactions with others. Choose to focus on Spirit more often.

5. When you use loving means, such as loving combinations of words, images, feelings and actions that bring harmony within your relationships, love is increased. If you want a loving outcome, use loving means.

There you have it. It’s so very simple and yet so powerfully effective. Yet, I must admit that it’s not always easy. I’m sure you often catch yourself, like I do, acting from old negative programming rather than from these concepts…

However, as Loving Relationships become more and more a priority, our focus makes it possible for us to adopt these as a “way of life” rather than as tools we happen to use when we remember.

KA LEI ALOHA, CIRCLE OF LOVE

Adapted from Ancient Kanaka Maoli Wisdom


Enjoy the daily peace of blissful living, pa’anai
And the true feeling of belonging,
‘ohana, aloha ‘aina

Noho iho i ka malie,
Be tranquil, safe and secure.

Ka lei aloha i Na Kupuna
In the eternal circle of love
in which we are surrounded by Spirit
I am in the moment, i keia manawa
And all moments are in ponopono, perfection

I keia manawa, uhane nui au
In this moment I am Spirit Greatness!
Mahalo nui no pomaika’i nei au
I am so grateful
for all the blessings that surround me
in the circle of love filled with Spirit.
Ka lei aloha i Na Kupuna

Kukulu kumahana, pool your energy and focus,
channeling life and loving energy into yourself
Mana iho, self power, the power to choose

Say to yourself
Ha’ina, the healing I am about to do
will benefit me, my family,
relatives and ancestors.
everyone involved, ho’okipa
all parts of myself, pololei
and all points of view I have ever held.

I am sorry…kala mai ia’u
Kalana…Please forgive me for whatever error
is going on inside of me
that manifests as the problem, pilikia.

Ka Hea, the call

'Uhane Nui, Spirit Greatness, Divine creator, Akua, Ku’u Hoa Aloha
Original Source of Infinite Love, All That Is,
All that can be and will be,
One within ourselves, holo’oko’a
Mana’o, pu’uwai, na’au as one
spiritual self, physical self and emotional self
Aumakua, ‘uhane, unihipili, kohohe as one...

Ka hana mahiki,
connect with joy, love, support, respect

I ask from the center of my being
If I, my family, relatives and ancestors
have hurt, harmed or offended
you, your family, relatives and ancestors
in thoughts, words, deeds and actions
within or without
without or within

from the beginning of our creation
to the present moment, i keia manawa,
awakening to what has always been and will be
in the eternal now, ahonui,
and for this and all times…

‘olu ‘olu, humbly, ha’aha’a
we ask your forgiveness, Kalana...

Take all these memories, thoughts, and feelings,
kaono,
Layer beneath layer, mahiki
In my mind, body and life
that are attached to any person, place or thing
and release and set free, in this moment
in order to be released and set free,
kala kala i keia manawa …
Allow Spirit Greatness to neutralize,
dissolve, cleanse, purify, release,
aka, cut all the unwanted negative memories, blocks, energies and vibrations of any kind and

transmute these unwanted energies to pure light, creating a sacred void,
the emptiness of true freedom…

Now …In ‘oia ‘i ‘o, akahai, hilina’i, and lokahi,
In truth, trust and unity
I ask Spirit Greatness, ‘Uhane Nui,
to come in and fill the void with pure healing light and never ending love, Aloha pau’ole,

Kou ala a me aloha, your light and your path
Like a beam of sunlight
please extend a Band of Gold light
Around each and every atom,
Every molecule of reality
Ka hua huna o kumulipo
Please extend the light both above and below
to form a golden sphere of light, blending all the colors of the rainbow, malamalama

I am so grateful for this good work, Po’okela,
And return to malama pono,
the safe and reassuring state of
being connected to Spirit and your highest Self,
your sense of personal power and greatness,
Mana iho, the power to choose.

Ka lei Aloha ...
We are renewed in the circle of LOVE,
na ko’u hou’oli …
it is my greatest pleasure to do so…
amama… so be it…
ua noa…let it fly
a’ole no…now leave it alone...
Mahalo Pau…And it is done.
Mahalo nui no pomaika’i nei au…I am so grateful for all the blessings that surround me.
O ka maluhia no me oe…
Peace be with you…
No ke’ia wa a mau a mau loa aku…
Now and forever more.

Now have a period of silence, a peaceful moment…ho’omalu.

Now return, E homai
Ka ike mai
Luna mai e
Ona mea huna no’eau o na mele e
E homai…E homai… E homai

How Flower Essence Companies Differ

This is an article by Deborah Bier, Aug 16, 2008:
Dozens of Essence Makers Beyond Bach Have Useful Health Applications

Did you know that there are dozens of companies around the globe manufacturing vibrational and flower essences today?

Most people know the 38 Bach Flower Remedies. However, starting back in the 1970s, essence companies have cropped up all around the world. Their total of thousands of products differ widely, consumers because increasing the range of the essences available and the types of challenges they are able to address.

There can be considerable differences between the essences made from the same species of plant from one company's offerings to another. Why is this? Is it a problem with manufacturing or testing procedures? Poor quality control? Or something else?

These differences are not a result of some failing on the part of essence companies. Instead, they’re an illustration of some of the fascinating qualities, laws, and methodologies of energy healing.

A Wide Variety of Factors Make a Difference

The individual plant or flower used makes one difference. It is not correct to assume that each, say, tulip is identical energetically to every other one of the species and type. Gardeners can affirm the differences between individual plants in the ways each thrives and grows (or the way they don't). If such variety exists on the physical plane, of course the same would be true of the non-physical world where the life force of essences reside.

Location of the essence making (and consumption, too) is another factor. The energies in one region of the world -- or even on one particular patch of land -- are different from those found in others, and will effect the experience of both making and using the essence.

The vibrational or flower essence maker is yet another important factor. Each "line" of essences has its own internal consistency and focus. Each plant/mineral/whatever has many, many energies but each maker captures only certain ones. There will be commonalities between essences by different makers made from the same species of plant, but there will certainly be differences that will affect each person's experience with the essence.

The Effects of Individual Beliefs, Feelings, and Thoughts

Differences also come about from other humans who may be involved in the essence process, from maker to practitioner to consumer. Their conscious and unconscious intentions play an unknown part in the effect the essence has on the final product and its effects.

Intention can be defined as a combination of the thoughts, ideas, feelings, state of being, and focus of each of the humans involved. Because essences work in the realm of energy, they are affected by other energies like thoughts and feelings, particularly of the person involved in the making and selecting.

In a similar way, the person who uses an essence for himself or loved ones can influence its action through his expectations, beliefs and intentions.
