Healing Energy Share for Sunday,

February 12, 2006

He ola ka pohaku a he make ka pohaku. Translation: There is life in the stone and death in the stone.

Pohaku (stones) symbolize the close relationships that Hawaiians have with the earth and with each other. Stones can represent a relationship with one who either is still alive or passed on, with one's aumakua (ancestors or spirit guides), or with one's god. Healthy relationships can nurture, heal, inspire, provide us with a sense of belonging, purpose, and identity. Unhealthy relationships can drain our energy, make us ill, depress us, make us feel alienated or confused about our purpose, and reduce our sense of self-esteem.

Pohaku reminds us that we are not alone, but are connected to the Source and to others. Through our relationships we develop a sense of who we are, where we came from and where we are going. This connection can be a source of incredible inspiration and strength. People seldom thrive when they are isolated from one another. Humans seem to thrive living in small interdependent communities, which may or may not be comprised of blood relations. Your 'ohana (family) community may be based on shared spiritual, environmental, political, economic, or artistic conerns. Whatever it is based on, what is important is that the community provides a foundation for all the aspects of living.

If you are not already actively participating in a community of some kind, now is the time to connect with one. We need to experience connection in order to flourish and grow. Without it you may suffer from loneliness and alienation.

And, in this light, let us welcome Dunni Olasehan, who joins us from Lagos, Nigeria. With each other we share the love and joy that such friendships engender.

Karen James is on a break from the energy share today while she is getting healing from a shaman who is visiting her in Alberta, Canada. She is recuperating from surgery for the next week then goes back to work half time. I look forward to having her back. We met through the DHN a few months ago and have been great friends ever since.

Michela Buonaguidi is also on break from the share. Another Chikara-Reiki-Do master, she is one friend with whom I always have stimulating conversations on dance and theatre.

I'll be posting a few messages on the blog about intention, detachment, and purification as well as the definition of the word 'namaste'. I've had a few questions about it since I often use the word in closing. A few have also asked about the Light Dream energy and attunements, so I'll post some info about that as well.

I gratefully acknowledge the boost of energy from you and welcome it with open arms. I also send you a boost with LOTS of love, light, and hugs. Enjoy every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.

Namaste, (I honor the place in you which is of Love, Truth, Light and of Peace)
