Aloha Is More Than Love!

Aloha Is . . .

Far more than just one word in its translation from the Hawaiian language and cultural heritage.

Aloha is your first breath of life. Aloha is pure “mana” or primal energy. It expands from its origins as your life force into a complete state of being. It embodies the entire Hawaiian culture in one word or one breath.

Our conscious connection with this source energy is vital to our continued existence on this planet.

This energy morphs into a way of living, being, and respecting our and our neighbor’s thoughts, feelings, intentions, actions, the land, the sea, and all those who have come before us to make us who and what we can be. You might say that it is our ultimate potential as human beings living together on this spinning sphere, we call home.

Living Aloha

We’ve lived in the Hawaiian Islands for ten years and we are just beginning to feel the aloha spirit envelope our thoughts, feelings, and intentions as whole human beings.

We are connected to the land we live on by harvesting water and light to nourish our living. We care for our land, and it cares for us by providing food, shelter, and an array of flowering beings from orchids to blossoming trees that tower above us. The year-round abundance is a loving paradise.

We connect as often as we can with the ancient Hawaiian culture that hangs by a thin thread waiting to be embraced once again. We have experienced this aloha spirit with descendants of this ancient culture. It’s an authentic and loving state of being that never leaves you once it has touched you. It’s rediscovering and nourishing the primal love within.

I believe it’s what’s missing in our worldviews and in our individual lives. I’ve written bits and pieces about the Hawaiian culture for the last eighteen months on Medium. In retrospect, it continues to be my exploration, learning, and expression of the “aloha spirit” we are experiencing in these magical isles.

It is slowly changing our outward focus on things and events to an inward process of maintaining a deep personal connection with aloha as a vital force of our consciousness.

I treasure what comes from the heart especially that which is authentic, bold, and raw, yet respectful. I believe it to be the life force of our purpose here and now. It might even be our soul’s purpose for some, but others — too many — have lost that connection to where their heart and soul reside.

Many writers on Medium share their expression and pursuit of that loving spirit that we know as Aloha. It is truly more than just “love” in its overused and commercially exploited expressions.

We thank you for taking the time to read this message and our journey with Aloha. We hope you will pass it along to others. We also invite you to join us in our hearts or here in Hawaii as we continue to experience and explore the cultural depths of Aloha.

May Aloha always be present in your spirit and being.
