WHAT IS THIS THING CALLED ALOHA BOOK

Our Price: $11.00

#B409

Robert James -7" x 5" - 67 pages - color photos - Hardcover

"What does Aloha really mean?" This book goes beyond the obvious answer, "It means, hello or goodbye." As you will read in this peaceful offering, it means far more than that. In this work you'll find answers pertaining to the true, though often hidden, meaning of that spiritual force within yourself called Aloha and which can lift your spirit, strengthen your resolve and guide your life if you will only open your heart to Aloha's endless power and beauty. The Hawaiian people have always acknowledged that Aloha resides as a guiding power at the center of their hearts. They take Aloha to be a Spirit, a positive and loving Spirit that gives endlessly of itself. Aloha is as ancient as Hawai'i itself and showers blessings upon blessings on those who seek it out and who humbly look to Aloha as their source of guidance and inspiration. "What is this thing called Aloha," shines a revealing light on Aloha while inviting you to meet it, not as the abstraction it has been made to appear over the years, but rather as a benevolent and loving friend "living" at the core of your being.

SEVEN DAWNS OF THE AUMAKUA- THE ANCESTRAL SPIRIT TRADITION OF HAWAII BOOK-SALE

Our Price: $19.00
Sale Price: $13.00

Moke Kupihea - 6" x 9" - 266 pages - Softcover

#B373

In Hawaiian spiritual tradition, the sacred bond formed between the land and its people is perpetuated in every new generation by the voices of the ancestors who pass on this inheritance. Just as elders are the intermediaries between these voices and the younger generations, the na aumakua, or ancestral spirits, are the intermediaries between the living and the sacred land they inhabit. In The Seven Dawns of the Aumakua Moke Kupihea takes the reader on his journey from childhood to young manhood as he experiences what remains of the spirit of his ancestors and learns the importance of remembering. The descent of the aumakua and its spiritual link through the eyes, sound, voice, touch, people, and breath constitute its seven dawns-the means by which the author is reawakened to his native tradition.
