The indigenous traditions of the Hawaiian Mind include connecting to Akua (Creator) through their way of knowing. The mind includes the subconscious, the conscious and the super conscious. The ancient belief which continues today is that the subconscious has a pathway that can be established which bypasses the conscious and connects directly to the superconscious. The superconscious connection then opens up to flow from Akua (Creator). This allows dream time activity, self-comprehension for the individual’s purpose in life, and for ongoing direction, inspiration and verification of truth. This connection is the Mana Pathway. Mana is the energy that exists in all things. The Mana Pathway allows the flow of that energy into the individual, through them and then to Akua (Creator). In this way, it is said that the “Mana is rising”.

This tremendous flow of energy leaves people glowing when they visit Hawai‘i. Many leave and count down the days until they can come again.

For those fortunate to live permanently as Citizens of The Kingdom of Hawai‘i, this flow becomes part of existence, taught to them as small children and impacting their life. This connection together allows the expression of love among the People. This is an all-encompassing love, a compassion, a respect, and an affection for all. This is Aloha. It is difficult to describe, but anyone experiencing it knows that it feels wonderful.

There simply is no other place on earth like it.
