E kamaʻilio kākou, let's have a conversation, or better yet, let's talk story about co-dependency. Recovery is possible! Do you feel like you're constantly fixing other people's problems? Like your own happiness is completely tied to someone else's? That's co-dependency, and it's exhausting. It’s a deep-seated need to be needed, often leaving you feeling resentful and totally drained. This is especially true for family members and those close to people with addictions, where the urge to control and "fix" can seem like the only thing that makes sense in the moment; it's a very real and overwhelming need, and in...

The Rhythm of my paddle. I grew up on a sandy beach called Poka'i Bay. It's located on the west side of the island of O'ahu, in the state of Hawai'i. The scent of salt and plumeria, the endless stretch of blue water and the rhythmic beat of paddles – these are the indelible memories of my childhood growing up on the sun-drenched shores of Pokai Bay on the west side of Oʻahu. For us keiki (children), the beach wasn't just a playground; it was our classroom, our training ground, and the heart of our community. Family memories made, lifelong relationships...

Picture this: someone carving up fresh powder on a snowy mountain, but they're from Hawaii. It might sound wild, but for generations, when Mauna Kea, a majestic sacred mountain on the Big Island of Hawai'i, gets its winter coat of snow, Hawaiians have hit its slopes. It's not your typical resort scene with the chairlift things or fancy lodges; it's raw, exhilarating, and a unique way to connect with the 'aina (eye-nah), their ancestral land. What's even cooler is that not all, but most Hawaiian snowboarders, actually start by surfing ocean waves. Think about it: that same balance, that same flow,...

The practice of Mana Hā, while rooted in traditional Hawaiian wisdom, aligns with several research-based principles related to breathwork, mindfulness, and the mind-body connection. Here's a breakdown of the reasoning: 1. Diaphragmatic/Deep Breathing Physiological Regulation: The core of Mana Hā involves deep inhales and slow exhales. This directly corresponds to diaphragmatic or "belly breathing," which is extensively researched for its positive effects on the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Activation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Deep, slow breathing stimulates the vagus nerve, which is a major component of the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the "rest and digest" response. This counteracts...
