Greetings from Hawaii

Kalalau Beach on left
Hello, dear friends!  I'm so very glad to be back with you and didn't mean to be away so long!  Sometimes, when life is in session, well, you know the story.  For two glorious weeks, I've been living on Kauai, Hawaii's magical garden isle.  Did a little hiking and a whole lot of healing.  A few days ago I was on Kalalau Trail, 4,000 feet above the Pacific.  Awesome view!  Helicopters hovered over waterfalls in the valley below.  The beach on the lower left is accessible by boat or on foot, eleven miles through the jungle and along razor thin ridges.  For the hardy and the brave.  It appears to be a rite of passage to make it there and back. 

As I'm sure you know, I travelled here to celebrate my tenth anniversary of my husband's death.  The choice made sense.  Hawaii was the last place my husband and I visited as a carefree couple.  I wanted closure, so how good to return.  Still, I was as bewildered as anybody, in calling this tenth anniversary a celebration.


Wanda and me
I decided to come with a woman I hadn't even met, based on one telephone conversation. Nothing unusual here.  Intuition's my strong suit!  I trusted that going off line, and completely immersing myself in Hawaiian healing practices, would open my heart wide again.  I signed up for it all ~ Lomilomi, the ancient traditional Hawaiian massage, aqua cranial therapy in the sea, aided by dolphins and whales, loving touch Hawaiian massage and dance,  'mamma' Kauai spirit and ancestral healing at ancient Hawaiian sacred sites, native steam room and salt scrub, didgeridoo playing, and prayer at Kauai's Stupa (Buddhist dharma center).  Central to this the transformative process is Chaka clearing (which I knew little about), as well as energy and vibrational healing (chi energy, for one).  Wow!  It is really cool to leap outside the box. 


I got a number of inner spirit messages during my time here, every one of them waking me up to the fact, that I am already all I'm supposed to be, and where I am supposed to be.  All good.  During one particular healing session, I got this very clear message, as my heart burst with love.  This is a message we all know.  Lovers feel it.  Parents.  God.




Following the salt scrub massage
I want to give you the world, & all the wonderful things in it.
I want you to be happy, joyous and free.
 


 
Kauai has blessed me.  I stand on my own two feet, grounded, safe and secure. I feel launched.  I am celebrated, and so are you.  My love from Kauai to you!  I'll be home in a few days.  Three magnificent harmonic crystal bowls are coming home with me.

  1. I've been wondering about you! Even asked Judy if she'd been in contact with you off the blogs. I'm so happy to see you so happy and filled up with good vibes. Your trip and the experiences you're having sound amazing.

    1. Hi Jean! It's been a rite of passage, feeling convinced at last, that I am flourishing. The "Yes, buts..." holding me back have vanished. More to come!

    1. Yes! I was at a wedding, in Los Angeles, on my way here. Very beautiful! Seems far away, now. And there's news about my Dad. This I will fill you in on. Soon.

      You're absolutely right. From now on, when I think of Hawaii, it will be all the memories I have of THIS trip. Much to ponder. Right now, I'm off to view sunrise over the Pacific : -), a few feet outside my door.

  3. Los Angeles is not that far from Hawaii. I can see why you took the opportunity to make the trip. You are glowing in the photo above. Very cool!

    1. You would glow, too, after the (coed) steam room and salt scrub. LOL
