“You’ve got to have something to eat and a little love in your life, before you can hold still for any damn body’s sermon on how to behave.” Sound advice from Billy Holiday, one of the most soulful jazz singers of the 1950’s. Say What, Billie? Billie is wisely suggesting that personal abundance is necessary for social and spiritual advancement. It helps to have a car that works and a little money in your pocket to do what you came here to Earth to do. You’ve got to feel good about yourself and allow yourself to be loved before you can share love with others—in whatever form that takes. You First! Native shamans teach, ”Take care of yourself first, so that you can then take care of others.” You’ve got to give yourself enough love, money and health, in order to have enough to share with others. You’ve got to be allowing love, abundance and vitality to be flowing into and through you, in order for it to be flowing out from you. The Sage Skies of United I’m reminded of this universal principle every time I fly in an airplane. This simple wisdom is loudly announced on the public address system before every take off: “In case of an emergency, put your oxygen mask on yourself first—before you put it on your child or another person.” If we don’t give ourselves sufficient material and emotional support in life, we won’t have sufficient outer and inner resources to accomplish our soul design and destiny. Making sure that you stay in Universal Supply and Support is the most certain way to insure you can successfully help others and the planet. It’s not “selfish” to take care of yourself first. It’s wise and loving to do so! Open to Mana A central way to insure that you have enough wherewithal to share with others, is to open to the space, or energy state, Hawaiians call “Mana.” “Mana” means pure energy, Spirit, right from the Source. The ancient Hawaiians taught a magical skill, or space, that many of us easily overlook in our modern society. This connection is the key to creating the results we want in our lives—and determines the difference between short-term fixes and long term results. I opened to this ancient Hawaiian gift of "Mana" with the help of my Kahuna teacher in Hawaii. Most of the time, when we try to mani-fest what we want in life, we use our minds—and naturally so because that's what we learned from our families, schooling and society. But when we mani-fest from our mind only, we miss the crucial ingredient that all creation comes from. That's the "Mana" that the Hawaiians so grace-fully remind us to draw on. So how can you access this Mana-festing energy? If not from the mind, then from where? There's a place where the key to our "Mana" resides. And that space lies within your Heart. Mana-Festing You could also express the Hawaiian “Mana” as meaning pure power, creative energy. intention. “Fest” comes from a Latin word meaning festival, feast, celebration. So, our word “manifest” means to create a festival of pure intention from the Heart.
