Painful Loss...

-

I am helping someone who lost his wife in the passionate prime of their relationship. He has so many issues to go through and comes to see me about once a week. He believes his wife was murdered by omission while battling cancer.  Today he brought photos of his wife. And some love letters. He forgot his reading glasses and asked me to read through the love notes aloud. As I read these very personal messages from a wife truly in love with her husband, I felt like I was invading something so very personal and sacred. Intruding into a private moment. As his eyes teared up as I read each one. I felt even worse. He is so devastated at her loss. In working with him for quite awhile now. I find myself missing her too. Her spirit is around him. I feel it. She was a beautiful Hawaiian woman with a beautiful spirit. Soul. 'Uhane. He still dreams about her and this past week. It was every night. He said at the end of the dream, despite his desires, wishes and protestations. She always leaves and separates from him. Going her own way. He is so frustrated and confused by this. Two people have interpreted this for him. Both say that she has to leave him alone at the end of each dream. Because if she stayed with him and they went off together. It would mean he will be joining her in death. I'm worried that he wants to be with her that much already. Hawaiians believe in the power of dreams as interpretive and prophetic visions for a multitude of messages. Kind of like my Ipod dreams. I am truly worried for my friend now. I humbly ask Ke Akua to guide me through this one as I try to stay strong and focused for him. And to his beautiful wife. Please help me out on this one too. So we can both be there for him...

This past weekend, I wasn’t able to really capture the Super Moon as how I had envisioned. On Friday, my abdomen started hurting. I wasn’t sure what was causing it, and just suffered through it as it was manageable at the time. By Sunday, it had gotten progressively worse. A feeling of dread came over me as I was worried it might be something serious, even life-threatening. It became so excruciating, that I contemplated going to Queen’s Hospital ER, but feared that I would be admitted to the hospital. I have so much going on right now that I can’t afford to be out of commission. At the same time, a good friend just died of pancreatitis and if I come down with that condition a third time, the chance of surviving this round is projected to be slim. It really put me in a depressed state. I felt like I had been given so many chances, but still was gambling with my life by not always staying the course of a healthy diet. When I am stressed, I tend to be an emotional eater. I suff...

Sacred 'Iao Valley...

In 2011, I brought my family to Sacred 'Iao Valley. We also brought the P ō haku W ā n ā n ā  o Pai'ea. His mo'olelo he shared was "Created in the fires of Halema'uma'u by the hands of Pele, and the waters of Kanaloa, for the prophet Ke'eaunaoa; I bear the face of Nae'ole and share the Spirit of K ū . I tell the story of the Killer of Chiefs. I am the embodiment of Ke Akua/'Io, who are one in the same. I am the tangible proof given to Ke'eaunaoa to show Keku'iapoiwa (Kamehameha's Mother) that the prophecy is true, and name Nae'ole as her son's kahu and keeper."   While there, we chanted and prayed for the lives lost in the Battle of Kepaniwai, to help those ready to ascend, and to help Heal the history between the warring families and islands to find forgiveness for each other. Many tears were shed. On a return trip to the valley, a kupua, or supernatural Spirit showed herself next to a p ō haku in the rive...
