Change is in the air—you can feel it, can’t you? Like any living thing, change is vibrant and active. The type of change I'm talking about isn’t something you can reach out and touch, but it’s right there, moving between us and sprinkled into every choice we make. Honestly, the whole point of living is to grow, and to grow, we must be willing to change. E kamaʻilio kākou, let's have a conversation, or bettah yet, let's talk story about the power of intentional change. Growth through change hasn't been easy for me, but it has been powerful. One of...

E kamaʻilio kākou, let's have a conversation, or better yet, let's talk story about Ho'omaha and the celebration of Makahiki. On cold, crisp days like today, I am reminded that we are still in the dark times of winter. The natural urge to slow down and stay in is strong. While modern life often demands that we be active and produce constantly, nature tells a different story. We should Ho'omaha (ho-oh-mah-hah), take rest. Winter is a season of essential dormancy, a time for the earth and us to recharge before the burst of spring arrives. In the spirit of finding deeper...

Seasons don't just change because they want to—they change because they have to. The same is true for us. When our own seasons of life shift, a deep need for change can emerge. And when it does, it's time for a conversation. E kala mai ia'u - I'm sorry...it's not going to be easy. But it's an important and much-needed discussion. Let's talk story about triggers. Just the topic itself can be triggering. I get it, I'm here for it, and I'm in it with you. As always, just a heads up, this comes from my own journey and experience,...

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...
