"rise and shine"

Ayurveda Tips to Wake Up
Wake-Up Routine
"If that morning mantra "rise and shine" strikes you as the ultimate oxymoron, you might have something to gain from Ayurveda's approach to waking up. According to Ayurvedic philosophy, choices that you make regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it down. Ayurveda calls for getting a jump-start on the day by focusing on morning rituals that work to align the body with nature's rhythms, balance the doshas, and also foster self-esteem alongside self-discipline. Adopting just one or more of the following practices for a month can radically alter your experience of the day. Don't be surprised if you begin to view mornings in a new light."

This is one small part of an old Hawaiian prayer that called to the gods and goddesses for healing.  In this prayer, we call to the gods and goddesses to show us where we need to correct our thinking, correct our way of living, so that we can find solutions to our problems, and find healing in our bodies and our relationships:

O ke kahuna i ka puoko a ke ahi.

O 'imi, o loa'a, o loa'a ho'i ka hala uku,

Nana o kono e haele,

E Hele no a miliu mai a.

Eia  ka leo la, he kanaenae aloha na'u na (inoa)

Eia ka pilikia la (ho'ike a'e)

'Eli 'eli kapu, 'eli'eli noa.

Noa ke ku, noa ka hele

Noa i kanawai a ke akua.

Calling the priestess in the pillars of fire.

Seek and find, find my fault, that I may atone;

the fault that turned me away from thee.

Go thou, prayer, but return again to me.

Here is my voice in a prayer of
affection to thee a prayer from (name)

Here are my troubles: (list them)

The sacredness has been profound, it is now freed.

Freed that I may stand, freed that I may walk,

freed by the decree of the gods.

 

"There were many gods associated with healing:

Ma'iola, who brought life (ola) out of sickness (ma'i)

There was the god Mauliola,

whose similar name meant "Breath of Life",

Women had recourse to Hi'iaka i ka poli o Pele,

who was considered physician to the family of Pele,

and to Haumea, the earth mother,

who guarded the women in childbirth.

Hauwahine, the mo'o (water creature goddess)

warded off sickness.

Uli, the High goddess of sorcery,

could be called on in life-giving resuscitation.

Lono, Ku and Hina, and to some extent Kane,

would remain through generations

the constantly invoked gods of medicine.

Lono, because he caused all plants to grow,

remained supreme: the Hawaiian Hippocrates

of the healing kahuna.

Ku and Hina continued to symbolize

the balance embodied in well being.

For Ku was maleness; and Hina was female.

Ku was erect, Hina was supine.

Ku was East, the morning,

and Hina was West the evening.

Ku was the external factor, Hina was the internal.

Ku was the right side and the right hand,
Hina, the left."

May the gods and goddesses of healing
be with you today!

Both Ends of the Rainbow - Hawaiian Healing

"Forgiveness is one of the most difficult yet liberating acts we can practice.

The Forgiveness Prayer is a very precious and powerful tool." (Nancy Kahalewai, LMT) 

E hui kala mai.
E hui kala aku.
E hui kala kakou.
Kekahi I kekahi. 
I extend my forgiveness.
You extend your forgiveness.
We extend our forgiveness to everyone.
One by one (to each and everyone).

  "We don't have to do much to experience existence; we just need to stop for a moment and just listen to nature. Suddenly we become aware of the peaceful tranquility and the beauty that surrounds us, listen to the ocean, the animals, forest, trees, the streams and look to the stars in the heavens".
