Remembering You Are Sacred: A Wise Woman's Return through Aloha Lokahi

Sister, have you ever paused in the middle of your day and felt the quiet pulse of life moving through you? The breath that enters your body. The beat of your heart. The ground beneath your feet.

That is sacred.

For too long, we've been taught to believe that "sacred" belongs only in temples, churches, or special ceremonies—somewhere outside of our ordinary lives. But sacredness is not separate. It is not reserved for special moments or holy places. It is at the core of who we are.

To be in this human body, to walk on this earth, to breathe the same air as the trees—this is to live in relationship with the sacred.

Aloha Lokahi: Living in Harmony

The ancient Hawaiians had a word for this way of living: Aloha Lokahi.

You may know Aloha as a greeting—hello and goodbye, and it is used for that. But at this, heart, Aloha means someting deepr,: the breath of life, the presence of love in each moment. When someone says aloha to you, they are wishing you love and the very best in our life. Lokahi mean unity, harmony and balance.

Together, Aloha Lokahi is the teaching that nothing in this life is separate. We are one body, one breath, one spirit with the ʻāina—the land. We are connected to each other and to the Divine, in every moment.

This isn't just poetic. The Hawaiian language itself was created to reflect this truth. With only 12 letters in its alphabet and 50% less words from other languages, it was designed and engineered that way as a living language of positivity—filled with words only for love, joy, harmony, unlimited possibility and free of anything negative. The Hawaiians knew the power of the words we speak.

So, to live Aloha Lokahi is to remember that every step, every breath, every word carries meaning. It is to choose love instead of criticism, connection instead of separation, possibility instead of limitation.

This is not just "positive thinking." It is remembrance of what has always been universal truth.

The Sacred in the Ordinary

And in understanding this, the ancient Hawaiians didn't separate the sacred from daily life. Preparing food was ceremony. Tending the land was prayer. Speaking to one another was an act of creating the world together.

When we remember this—when we bring this awareness to our own lives—everything changes.

The conversation with your friend becomes sacred dialogue. The meal you prepare becomes an offering. And you have a choice with the words you use in speaking to yourself - that will become either poison or medicine, destructin or creation.

You begin to understand: You are not separate from the sacred. You ARE sacred.

Your body is sacred. Your voice is sacred. Your wisdom earned through decades of living is sacred. Your presence is sacred. The ground you walk on is sacred.

And when you live from this remembering—when you choose words of love and positivity, when you honor the divine in yourself and others, when you recognize your connection to all of life—you are living Aloha Lokahi.

Reclaiming the Sacred for the Wise Woman For the woman in midlife or beyond, you carry this remembrance within you. Deep in your bones, and in your innate wisdom and sacredness as a woman, you know how to live in relationship with the land, with one another and the unseen.

But from generations of limiting conditioning placed on us, you have been taught to believe you're broken, not good enough, too much or unimportant - to silence your true voice, to doubt ourself, to make youself small. You've given so much of yourself that you have forgotten your own sacredness in the process.

But that time is at an end. It is now the time of Your Sacred Return - and it is not about fixing yourself becuase you were never broken. It is not about becoming someone new. You have lived long enough with all your life experiences to also now know that this modern world's definitions of worth and value are often hollow. And in this season of your life - as a Wise Woman - this is your invitation to remember and return home to your true and authentic self.

It is in the knowing that you are not fading. You are not becoming invisible. You are becoming MORE visible to those who have eyes to see. Your voice carries decades of wisdom. Your presence holds the medicine of all you've survived and learned – and the world desperately needs you as the Wise Woman Feminine Leader now who remembers your sacredness, who speaks from love rather than fear, who creates connection rather than separation, and who understands that we are all part of one sacred whole.

Living This Truth

The foundation of all I bring now to guide and help women is this ancient wisdom of Aloha. I have studied and shared this for more than 35 years. At its heart is Aloha Lokahi, as taught by Mahealani Kuamo‘o Henry, a Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) whose family lineage traces back to the original Hawaiian people—and who kept this wisdom secret and guarded for generations.

Auntie Mahealani was the messenger who has brought these teachings back out into our world now at this time when they are so needed. Before she "changed address" back to the spirit realm in 2021, I was blessed to be one of her haumana (students), who received these teachings from her.

To be entrusted with them is an extraordinary gift and sacred kuleana - responsibility. These teachings are being offered now to guide us through the turbulence of this global and spiritual transformation we are in. They open a rare doorway for us—especially as non-Hawaiians—to step into the universal truth at their heart: a living path toward the world we are moving into that is Aloha Lokahi, rooted in love, unity, positivity, self-acceptance, and truth.

Indigenous wisdom has long told us it will be through the feminine essence rising, and Living Aloha that will lead us into a "new world" of cooperation, co-cocreation, harmony and peace.

And when we remember and understand what "sacred" truly means—and when we live from the wisdom we carry, as women—everything does change. Your voice, your presence, your life become acts of creation, ceremony, and medicine.

This is your Sacred Return.
