I have always been fascinated by the sea and recently wrote an article for Aloha International on huna and what waves can teach us. Meditating on, or simply stopping to take the time to notice the elements around us can be a fruitful exercise in many ways. The elements are an endless source of inspiration and learning.

I would like to wish everyone a wonderful Hau’oli Makahiki Hou!
Whilst it makes sense to use the seven huna principles at all times, symbolic dates such as the start of a new year are commonly times when people make resolutions and take time to focus on the year ahead.
The seven huna principles are a great framework to use to for such an activity. For example makia is about focus, so are you clear about what you want to to focus on achieving in the coming year? Aloha is about blessing and connection, so what have you been grateful for over the previous year and what qualities or features would you most admire in your environment and others in 2012? What connections would you like to make? Ike is about awareness, so what do you believe your life can be like this year?
The principles can help you focus and develop a course through 2012. If you are stuck for resolutions, one I could recommend is to take some time daily to reflect on the seven huna principles and establish the habit of using them throughout the year.
I wish you all the best for 2012.
Pete
Aloha and warmest seasons greetings to you
It’s been a long time since there has been much activity on the site. In fact there is an apt Hawaiian phrase at this point Aia i ka mole o Lehua referring to someone who has not been heard of for some time! However there will be more going on in 2012 for sure so stay in touch and if you have not already done so sign up for the newsletter and blog posts sent directly to your email.
At this stage I want to wish you all a wonderful festive period and as they say in Hawaii:
Mele Kalikimaka (Merry Christmas)
And to share with you a festive image from Serge:
