True devotion to knowledge and self-responsibility are the keys to self-mastery, happiness & manifesting abundance in your life ... it is quintessentially Living Aloha!
My teachings arise out of direct experience of awakened awareness and emanates the untamable fragrance of freedom whilst radically embracing the mystery and mess of human existence. My invitation is for you to open to the fullness of life, to say YES to the totality of your experience and to meet reality with radical compassion.
My spiritual journey has been directed by my maternal grandmothers, at least 4 generations back, since I was two years old. Through their divine guidance, I have studied herbal medicine with Hawaiian kupuna; learned hedgewitchery from learned Wiccan green witches; integrated my fascination with crystals until I became a Crystals Healing Master; then rounded out my metaphysical groundwork with years of Reiki training in both American and Japanese Usui systems in addition to many alternative energyworking modalities (I am a 18th dan Grand Master). Lastly, I am also in-service as a fully initiated Ceremonial Magician.
I have been blessed with many learning opportunities and school-of-hard-knocks experiences. I answered The Call as a Baybalin in 1980 and never looked back. I became an ordained minister in 2003. I also have 15 years working in the Law specifically serving the least fortunate of our communities ... the Indigent, the Elderly, battered women and molested children .. all seeking peace through our judicial system. My goal has always been to work to achieve Unity ... Lokahi ... between individuals and communities wherever I call home.
Here is the nature of my Service: We were taught that the goal of life is to move through life walking up the mountain of experiences with your Aloha, your Bowl of Light. Life is filled with lessons to learn and teaching moments along the way. When you become angry or jealous, you drop those stones into your bowl of light and those rocks cause leaks in your Mana-sacred power. When your bowl becomes filled with stones, you become a stone that cannot grow. No Aloha! The solution is that at any moment, you can turn your bowl upside down emptying these stones out of your bowl to naturally refill it with YOUR golden light -- your natural Aware and Awakened state of Aloha, your natural state of Divinity. This is the power of Pure Aloha: an Awakened Heart Awakens the Mind.
Awakening hinges on your genuine desire for the discovery of your true nature. If it is to flower in you, you must truly want liberation from everything that is false in you, you must want to give yourself totally to the inquiry into what is true beyond all inherited concepts, ideas and beliefs.
The purpose of our teachings is to ignite this wanting in you. When the flame of this desire becomes an untamable fire, it flips a switch inside of you and the direction of your destiny is irrevocably altered. It’s like turning on the light only to discover that you are this light. This in itself is extra-ordinary: even though you may have heard the words a thousand times, nothing can prepare you for the naked reality that is revealed.
And yet the living experience of this revelation is very ordinary: you have simply re-discovered the innocent wholeness of your essential nature. It’s the you that never was and never will be separate from anything at all. This discovery is the end of suffering and the beginning of freedom.
But awakening is just the beginning. The adventure begins, not in the rarified atmosphere of transcendence, but in the midst of the chaos of life. And living the truth of awakening has perhaps never been more of an imperative than in today’s rapidly changing world.
The invitation is for you to awaken to the pristine perfection of your inner light and then to fully embody and express this light amidst the mystery and mess of human existence.
