THE STORY

There is a popular Hawaiian saying: aloha aku, aloha mai — which means, “aloha given, aloha returned”. It reflects the deep-seeded belief that aloha — love — is a circular commodity, it needs to be replenished. If one only gives, and one just receives, aloha will cease to exist. That thinking extends to our relationship with the land. The natural healer Nāpua Harbottle explains it this way: “Hawaiians believe that whatever kind of energy you generate, that’s what’s going into the land. The key is to learn how to generate positive energy within yourself.” It’s a lesson worth remembering often: Learn how to create positive energy — be the light —, and watch the world around you blossom. Aloha.
