Healing for the Earth, Day 15: Mana Iho (Self Empowerment) by Guest Blogger Kau'i Auwae

Today's guest blogger is Henrylyn Kau'i Auwae. Originally from the Big Island of Hawaii, she currently lives in the Seattle area and boy are we lucky to have her RIGHT NOW in these times we are living in. I first met Kau'i in a shaman journey at a retreat at Breitenbush led by Hank Wesselman.  That means that I met her in the dream realm. It was an extremely powerful experience that I shared with the circle at Breitenbush and it changed my life significantly and pointed me clearly to the path I am now on. When I left Oregon to return to Washington, someone told me of a workshop that I might enjoy which was led by Kau'i. When she walked into the room, I nearly fell over. She was the woman from my shaman journey. Kau'i comes from a line of healers and her grandfather, Papa Henry, was a beloved Hawaiian healer and kahuna. She teaches Ho'oponopono classes that I highly recommend. She has one coming up online through Seattle Psychic Institute. You can click on this link to find out more about this online class starting on APRIL 3! If you are going through a hard time right now or need more connection, peace, self-love and ALOHA, I recommend this class. Here's Kau'i with a message for us about Mana Iho, or self empowerment. I hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.

Mana Iho in ʻŌlelo Hawai'i means self empowerment or self power. Though Mana Iho starts with choice first and foremost. Mana Iho is limitless when you OWN your power to choose. 

In these uncertain times that we are living in currently, we may not be able to change the situation. Though we can always change our perception of our current situation. We all are able to make a choice to stand in our own power. Because we have the ability to create for ourselves anything we desire.  It is through our ability to choose and create that we are truly able to own our power and EMBODY self empowerment. 

The power to live a life of Mana Iho comes with the understanding that we, as individuals, are the creators of our own reality. A creation of our personal reality that we desire for ourselves. Take a moment and breathe..... 

Know that we have the ability to release anything that isn't in alignment with our truth or doesn't resonate within. Whether it be old habits or constructs that are holding you back from your true potential, or a relationship that no longer resonates or not rewarding yourself with needed self love. You know what you need in order to stand in your power. 

Take another moment to breathe....

Are you brave enough to stand within your power? 

Are you willing to make the necessary choices to be Mana Iho?

Are your choices here and now keeping you in a stagnant position or allowing you to flow and adapt to our changing surroundings?

Give yourself permission to experience the true greatness, brilliance, and beauty of all things. YOU have the ability to make the CHOICE that resonates for you and your well being. Know that all things are possible for us all when we stand in Mana Iho. Be willing to be the GREATEST YOU, that you can be, as you stand in Mana Iho.
