The Aloha Spirit is a well
known reference to the attitude of friendly acceptance for which the Hawaiian
Islands are so famous. However, it also refers to a powerful way to resolve any
problem, accomplish any goal, and to achieve any state of mind or body that you
desire.
In the Hawaiian language,
aloha stands for much more than just "hello" or "goodbye" or
"love." Its deeper meaning is "the joyful (oha) sharing (alo) of
life energy (ha) in the present (alo)."
As you share this energy
you become attuned to the Universal Power that the Hawaiians call mana. And the
loving use of this incredible Power is the secret for attaining true health,
happiness, prosperity and success.
The way to tune into this
Power and have it work for you is so simple that you might be tempted to pass it
off as being too easy to be true. Please don't let yourself be fooled by
appearances. Take the time to try it out.
This is the most powerful
technique in the world, and although it is extremely simple it may not prove
easy, because you must remember to do it and you have to do it a lot. It is a
secret which has been given to humanity over and over again, and here it is once
more in another form. The secret is this:
Bless everyone and everything that represents what you want!
That's all there is to it.
Anything that simple, however, does need some explanation.
To bless something means
to give recognition or emphasis to a positive quality, characteristic or
condition, with the intent that what is recognized or emphasized will increase,
endure or come into being.
Blessing is effective in
changing your life or getting what you want for three reasons: First of all, the
positive focus of your mind stirs up the positive, creative force of the Power
of the Universe. Secondly, it moves your own energy outward, allowing more of
the Power to come through you. Thirdly, when you bless for the benefit of others
instead of directly for yourself, you tend to bypass any subconscious fears
about what you want for yourself, and also the very focus on the blessing acts
to increase the same good in your life. What is so beautiful about this process
is that the blessing you do for others helps them as well as you.
Blessing may be done with
imagery or touch, but the most usual and easy way to do it is with words. The
main kinds of verbal blessing are:
Admiration
- This is the giving of compliments or praiise to something good that you notice.
E.g., "What a beautiful sunset; I like that flower; you're such a wonderful
person."
Affirmation
- This is a specific statement of blessing for increase or endurance. E.g.,
"I bless the beauty of this tree; blessed be the health of your body."
Appreciation
- This is an expression of gratitude that ssomething good exists or has happened.
E.g., "Thank you for helping me; I give thanks to the rain for nourishing
the land."
Anticipation
- This is blessing for the future. E.g., &qquot;We're going to have a great
picnic; I bless your increased income; Thank you for my perfect mate; I wish you
a happy journey; May the wind be always at your back."
In order to gain the most
benefit from blessing, you will have to give up or cut way down on the one thing
that negates it: cursing. This doesn't mean swearing or saying "bad"
words. It refers to the opposite of blessing, namely criticizing instead of
admiring; doubting instead of affirming; blaming instead of appreciating; and
worrying instead of anticipating with trust. Whenever any of these are done they
tend to cancel out some of the effects of blessing. So the more you curse the
harder it will be and the longer it will take to get the good from a blessing.
On the other hand, the more you bless the less harm any cursing will do.
Here, then, are some ideas
for blessing various needs and desires. Apply them as often as you like, as much
as you want.
Health
- Bless healthy people, animals, and even pplants; everything which is well made
or well constructed; and everything that expresses abundant energy.
Happiness
- Bless all that is good, or the good that is in all people and all things; all
the signs of happiness that you see, hear or feel in people or animals; and all
potentials for happiness that you notice around you.
Prosperity
- Bless all the signs of prosperity in yourr environment, including everything
that money helped to make or do; all the money that you have in any form; and
all the money that circulates in the world.
Success
- Bless all signs of achievement and compleetion (such as buildings, bridges, and
sports events); all arrivals at destinations (of ships, planes, trains, cars and
people); all signs of forward movement or persistence; and all signs of
enjoyment or fun.
Confidence
- Bless all signs of confidence in people aand animals; all signs of strength in
people, animals and objects (including steel and concrete); all signs of
stability (like mountains and tall trees); and all signs of purposeful power (including
big machines, power lines).
Love and Friendship
- Bless all signs of caring and nurturing, compassion and support; all
harmonious relationships in nature and architecture; everything that is
connected to or gently touching something else; all signs of cooperation, as in
games or work; and all signs of laughter and fun.
Inner Peace
- Bless all signs of quietness, calmness, ttranquility, and serenity (such as
quiet water or still air); all distant views (horizons, stars, the moon); all
signs of beauty of sight, sound or touch; clear colors and shapes; the details
of natural or made objects.
Spiritual Growth
- Bless all signs of growth, development annd change in Nature; the transitions
of dawn and twilight; the movement of sun, moon, planets and stars; the flight
of birds in the sky; and the movement of wind and sea.
The previous ideas are for
guidance if you are not used to blessing, but don't be limited by them. Remember
that any quality, characteristic or condition can be blessed (e.g., you can
bless slender poles and slim animals to encourage weight loss), whether it has
existed, presently exists, or exists so far in your imagination alone.
Personally I have used the
power of blessing to heal my body, increase my income, develop many skills,
create a deeply loving relationship with my wife and children, and to establish
a worldwide network of peacemakers working with the aloha spirit. It's because
it has worked so well for me that I want to share it with you. Please share it
with as many others as you can.
How to Enhance Your Power to Bless
There is a technique
practiced in Hawaii which enhances your power to bless by increasing your
personal energy. It is a simple way of breathing that is also used for grounding,
centering, meditation and healing. It requires no special place or posture, and
may be done while moving or still, busy or resting, with eyes open or closed. In
Hawaiian the technique is called pikopiko because piko means both the crown of
the head and the navel.
The Technique
1. Become aware of your natural breathing (it might change on its own just
because of your awareness, but that's okay).
2. Locate the crown of
your head and your navel by awareness and/or touch.
3. Now, as you inhale put
your attention on the crown of your head; and as you exhale put your attention
on your navel. Keep breathing this way for as long as you like.
4. When you feel relaxed,
centered, and/or energized, begin imagining that you are surrounded with an
invisible cloud of light or an electro-magnetic field, and that your breathing
increases the energy of this cloud or field.
5. As you bless, imagine
that the object of your blessing is surrounded with some of the same energy that
surrounds you.
