I Dream of Molokai
Friday, November 24, 2006
Once upon a time there was a wahine kahuna living in exile, far far away from her beloved island home. More often than not, she was filled with longing and sadness. In time, this led to a volcanic malaise that, no matter how hard she swiveled her hula hips, she just couldn’t shake. Then one night, she dreamt that she was flying over the Hawaiian archipelago. As she passed over each island— Hawaii, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, Niihau— she felt that each bestowed a gift upon her: a lost piece of her soul.
When she awoke the next morning, she felt —for the first time in years— that she was whole again and ready to rock the world. Ancient Hawaiian secret? No way! The healing power of the islands is available to anyone, anywhere— whether they visit, meditate, or dream its powerful, aloha-filled mana.
