Book excerpt: The Hawaiian word “Aloha” evokes an image of white, sandy beaches and cool tropical breezes, but the significance of the word goes beyond a mere greeting and farewell. Aloha encapsulates all of the love, peace, compassion, and affection one feels when connected to the vibrational energy of the islands. The word is a definition of the force that holds together our very existence. Author and certified Law of Attraction coach, Kelly Weaver shares candid stories of her own struggles and successes through her journey of manifestation and personal growth as she learned to embrace aloha in her life. With keen insight into the universal law that “like attracts like,” she uses a mnemonic device and “Inspired Assignments” in each chapter, to guide readers through her process of self-reflection and discovery that your focus of attention and energy attracts consequences, both positive and negative. This book practically demonstrates how deliberate intention can lead you to experiencing the transformative power of manifesting, and will teach you how to live your own aloha.

A nation cannot stand without a spiritual system as its foundation. Kanaka Maoli have been struggling with and against themselves because of successful foreign occupation, and spiritual cultural intervention. Kanaka Maoli are struggling with their spiritual beliefs because of Tahitian (Na Ali'i) and Missionary intervention that have confused and divided the extended 'Ohana. Separatism, competitive, and materialistic ideals have kept the heart of Hawaii nei and its people captive long enough. We must return to our true self " 'O'u'i'o" personal truths. First, by freeing our spirit through "Living Aloha and Living Love," by reintroducing the eight rights and eight ideals that once was the backbone, the Kua iwi, of our nation. This spiritual revival of "Living Aloha and Living Love" will heal and hopefully unite and free our nation.

This knowledge will help to rebuild the loss and low self-esteem currently plaguing our children and nation. "Living Aloha and Living Love" is the catalyst, the missing torch that can help to melt the mental chains that hold Kanaka Maoli captive in the throngs of separatism.

In a stunning collection that announces the arrival of an incredible talent, Kristiana Kahakauwila travels the islands of Hawai'i, making the fabled place her own. Exploring the deep tensions between local and tourist, tradition and expectation, façade and authentic self, This Is Paradise provides an unforgettable portrait of life as it’s truly being lived on Maui, Oahu, Kaua'i and the Big Island. In the gut-punch of “Wanle,” a beautiful and tough young woman wants nothing more than to follow in her father’s footsteps as a legendary cockfighter.

Download or read book N W hine Koa written by Moanike‘ala Akaka and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2018-11-30 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Na Wahine Koa: Hawaiian Women for Sovereignty and Demilitarization documents the political lives of four wahine koa (courageous women): Moanike‘ala Akaka, Maxine Kahaulelio, Terrilee Keko‘olani-Raymond, and Loretta Ritte, who are leaders in Hawaiian movements of aloha ‘aina. They narrate the ways they came into activism and talk about what enabled them to sustain their involvement for more than four decades. All four of these warriors emerged as movement organizers in the 1970s, and each touched the Kaho‘olawe struggle during this period. While their lives and political work took different paths in the ensuing decades—whether holding public office, organizing Hawaiian homesteaders, or building international demilitarization alliances—they all maintained strong commitments to Hawaiian and related broader causes for peace, justice, and environmental health into their golden years. They remain koa aloha ‘aina—brave fighters driven by their love for their land and country. The book opens with an introduction written by Noelani Goodyear-Ka‘opua, who is herself a wahine koa, following the path of her predecessors. Her insights into the role of Hawaiian women in the sovereignty movement, paired with her tireless curiosity, footwork, and determination to listen to and internalize their stories, helped produce a book for anyone who wants to learn from the experiences of these fierce Hawaiian women. Combining life writing, photos, news articles, political testimonies, and other movement artifacts, Na Wahine Koa offers a vivid picture of women in the late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Hawaiian struggles. Their stories illustrate diverse roles ‘Oiwi women played in Hawaiian land struggles, sovereignty initiatives, and international peace and denuclearization movements. The centrality of women in these movements, along with their life stories, provide a portal toward liberated futures.
