New Moon Ceremony, This Sunday, Jan 18th at 7:30 am Hawaii
Aloha Kākou,
In our December New Moon ceremony, Aunty Puna shared something powerful.
She told us about Queen Liliʻuokalani—the last reigning monarch of Hawaiʻi—who was imprisoned in her own palace. And from that place of captivity, she wrote messages to her people on scraps of old newspaper that would be thrown out with her trash.
What did she write?
Ho'okahi. Let us be one.
In her darkest hour, she called her people to unity. To peace. To aloha.
Aunty Puna carried this forward in a teaching about the Second Aloha—a message for our time, when the whole world is being called to remember that we are one.
She shared a practice we keep coming back to:
When we have challenges and they sit in our palms, we lift it up, turn it over, create an altar in appreciation. This is the big, huge blanket of peace that we have the opportunity to be a part of. And it's one to another, one to one.
What touches her shores in Hawaiʻi travels through the breath to the other side of the world. What happens far away affects us all. We are connected. We always have been.
This 15-minute teaching is one you'll want to return to again and again. Click the video above to watch.
