~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

The Aloha Spirit is a well known reference to the attitude of friendly

acceptance for which the Hawaiian Islands are so famous. However, it also

refers to a powerful way to resolve any problem, accomplish any goal, and

also to achieve any state of mind or body that you desire.

 

In the Hawaiian language, aloha stands for much more than just " hello " or

" goodbye " or " love. " Its deeper meaning is " the joyful (oha) sharing (alo)

of life energy (ha) in the present (alo). "

 

As you share this energy you become attuned to the Divine Power that the

Hawaiians call mana. And the loving use of this incredible Power is the

secret for attaining true health, happiness, prosperity and success.

 

The way to tune into this Power and have it work for you is so simple that

you might be tempted to pass it off as being too easy to be true. Please

don't let yourself be fooled by appearances.

 

This is the most powerful technique in the world, and although it is

extremely simple it may not prove easy, because you must remember to do it

and you have to do it a lot. It is a secret which has been given to

humanity over and over again, and here it is once more in another form.

 

The secret is this:

 

Bless everyone and

everything that represents

what you want!

 

That's all there is to it.

 

Anything that simple, however, does need some explanation.

 

To bless something means to give recognition or emphasis to a positive

quality, characteristic or condition, with the intent that what is

recognized or emphasized will increase, endure or come into being.

 

Blessing is effective in changing your life or getting what you want for

three reasons:

 

First of all, the positive focus of your mind stirs up the positive,

creative force of the Power of the Universe.

 

Secondly, it moves your own energy outward, allowing more of the Power to

come through you.

 

Thirdly, when you bless for the benefit of others instead of directly for

yourself, you tend to bypass any subconscious fears about what you want for

yourself, and also the very focus on the blessing acts to increase the same

good in your life.

 

What is so beautiful about this process is that the blessing you do for

others helps them as well as you.

 

Blessing may be done with imagery or touch, but the most usual and easy way

to do it is with words. The main kinds of verbal blessing are:

 

Admiration - This is the giving of compliments or praise to something good

that you notice. e.g., " What a nice sunset; I like that dress; you're so

much fun. "

 

Affirmation - This is an expression of gratitude that something good exists

or has happened. e.g., " Thank you, God, for helping me; I give thanks to

the rain for nourishing the land. "

 

Anticipation - This is blessing for the future. e.g., " We're going to have

a great picnic; I bless your increased income; Thank you for my perfect

mate; I wish you a happy journey; May the wind be always at your back. "

 

In order to gain the most benefit from blessing, you will have to give up

or cut way down on the one thing that negates it: Cursing.

 

This doesn't mean swearing or saying " bad " words. It refers to the

opposite of blessing, namely criticizing instead of admiring; doubting

instead of affirming; blaming instead of appreciating; and worrying instead

of anticipating with trust.

 

Whenever any of these are done they tend to cancel out some of the effects

of blessing. So the more you curse the harder it will be and the longer it

will take to get the good from a blessing. On the other hand, the more you

bless the less harm any cursing will do.

 

Here, then, are some ideas for blessing various needs and desires:

 

Health - Bless healthy people, animals, and even plants; everything which

is well made or well constructed; and everything that expresses abundant

energy.

 

Happiness - Bless all that is good, or the good that is in all people and

all things; all the signs of happiness that you see, hear or feel in people

or animals; and all potentials for happiness that you notice around you.

 

Prosperity - Bless all the signs of prosperity in your environment,

including everything that money helped to make or do; all the money that

you have in any form; and all the money that circulates in the world.

 

Success - Bless all signs of achievement and completion (such as buildings,

bridges, and sports events); all arrivals at destinations (of ships,

planes, trains, cars and people); all signs of forward movement or

persistence; and all signs of enjoyment and fun.

 

Confidence - Bless all signs of confidence in people and animals; all signs

of strength in people, animals and objects (including steel and concrete);

all signs of stability (like mountains and tall trees); and all signs of

purposeful power (including big machines, power lines).

 

Love and Friendship - Bless all signs of caring and nurturing, compassion

and support; all harmonious relationships in nature and architecture;

everything that is connected to or gently touching something else; all

signs of cooperation, as in games or work; and all signs of laughter and fun.

 

Inner Peace - Bless all signs of quietness, calmness, tranquility, and

serenity (such as quiet water or still air); all distant views (horizons,

stars, the moon); all signs of beauty of sight, sound or touch; clear

colors and shapes; the details of natural or made objects.

 

Spiritual Growth - Bless all signs of growth, development and change in

Nature; the transitions of dawn and twilight; the movement of sun, moon,

planets and stars; the flight of birds in the sky; and the movement of wind

and sea.

 

The previous ideas are for guidance if you are not used to blessing, but

don't be limited by them. Remember that any quality, characteristic or

condition can be blessed (e.g., you can bless slender poles and slim

animals to encourage weight loss), whether it has existed, presently

exists, or exists so far in your imagination alone.

 

Personally I have used the power of blessing to heal my body, increase my

income, develop many skills, create a deeply loving relationship with my

wife and children, and to establish a worldwide network of peacemakers

working with the aloha spirit. It's because it has worked so well for me

that I want to share it with you.

 

 

How to Enhance Your Power to Bless

 

There is a technique practiced by Hawaiian shamans which enhances your

power to bless by increasing your personal energy.

 

It is a simple way of breathing that is also used for grounding, centering,

meditation and healing. It requires no special place or posture, and may

be done while moving or still, busy or resting, with eyes open or closed.

 

In Hawaiian the technique is called pikopiko because piko means both the

crown of the head and the navel.

 

 

The Technique

 

1. Become aware of your natural breathing (it might change on its own just

because of your awareness, but that's okay).

 

2. Locate the crown of your head and your navel by awareness and/or touch.

 

3. Now, as you inhale put your attention on the crown of your head; and as

you exhale put your attention on your navel.

 

4. When you feel relaxed, centered, and/or energized, begin imagining that

you are surrounded with an invisible cloud of light or an electromagnetic

field, and that your breathing increases that energy of this cloud or field.

 

5. As you bless, imagine that the object of your blessing is surrounded

with some of the same energy that surrounds you.

 

 

Variations

a. Instead of crown and navel, shift attention from shoulder to shoulder or

sky to earth.

 

b. To help focus the energy field, imagine it in color, as a tone or chord,

or as a tingle.
