Aloha and welcome to this Makkiah meditation practice.

Thank you for joining me and giving yourself permission to be fully present for the next twenty or so minutes.

To be focused and place your full attention on being right here,

Right now in this moment.

Find a comfortable seated position and allow yourself to settle.

Gently roll your head from side to side to release your neck.

Draw your shoulders up towards your ears and squeeze away all tension.

Allowing them to fall back to a relaxed place whilst keeping your spine straight.

Soften your palate,

Your jaw and allow your eyes to softly close and your palms to settle onto your thighs in gentle surrender.

Now bring your awareness to your breath,

Your mana,

Your prana,

Your life force in this moment.

Without judgement or attachment,

Focus on how when you inhale your belly slowly rises and expands and on the exhale it falls back again and moves towards your spine.

On the inhale your belly rises gently and the cage of your ribs expands to greet the fresh oxygen flowing into your lungs.

Inhale and your belly falls as carbon dioxide is expelled from your lungs as their wings move back to hug your heart.

Inhale the new as your belly rises and exhale the old as your belly falls.

Again inhale the new as your belly rises and exhale the old as your belly falls.

Continue this gentle breath awareness for three more rounds in your own time now.

Place control of the breath and allow it to fall back to its natural rhythm.

Now connect it to your spine as your mana,

Your prana,

Your life force rides the wave of its length from head to tailbone in infinite flow.

Maquia is the third of the Hawaiian principles for living and means energy flows where your attention goes.

The combination of energy and attention results in action creating your reality.

Whatever area of your life you give your attention to will be charged with energy and the intention igniting that attention will influence the outcome.

Positive charge results in a positive outcome.

A combination of our nature and conditioning will influence the area of our lives that our attention naturally gravitates towards when we lose our focus.

Our mind will wander to where it wants to lead our distracted attention.

The thoughts and feelings that it lands upon will form a blueprint for manifesting into your reality the closest available equivalent experience that matches those same thoughts and feelings.

Just like a magnet like attracts like.

Take a moment to feel into the quiet of the next minute and see where your attention naturally wants to be led without attachment,

Judgement or control.

You Now bring your focus back to the sound of my voice with your full attention,

Here and now.

Let my words engage with your mind and the vast array of chatter dance back to the periphery once again.

So where do you find your thoughts wandering to?

Work?

Your partner?

Family?

Desires?

Were you surprised at the direction they took,

Or did their destination feel like a natural place for them to drift to?

Was there one main pool,

Or did your attention span out in a myriad of directions,

Tributaries of a river weaving their way like the veins of the earth across a green-hued skin,

Flowing and free?

By choosing to focus our attention and giving energy to what we want to attract into our lives,

We can break distracting habits and stop wasting our potent energy.

We start growing and manifesting creatively and productively in the areas of our life we wish to cultivate abundance.

When you fully focus with your physical,

Mental and emotional attention directed towards what you want to bring into your reality,

You harness energy from not only yourself but the world and universe that surround you right here,

In this moment.

As energy flows where your attention goes in the spirit of mākīya,

This magnifies the effect and shines light upon it to ignite it,

Gives it life,

Births it into your reality.

So,

Right here,

Right now,

Pour something into your awareness that you've been wanting to bring into your life but has seemed to evade you.

It could be finding your purpose in life through your work,

A new relationship,

A healthier choice in your lifestyle.

Take your attention inwards and allow your intention to speak to you from your heart.

Call it forward from that deepest space of knowing that often goes unheard.

The voice of your highest self desiring your highest good.

Now,

Speak that intention with conviction and clarity three times now.

Now,

Take your full attention to my voice in the spirit of mākīya and imagine you are walking through a field of the greenest grass.

It surrenders under the weight of your bare feet to make a carpet of the lushest emerald green.

The air is warm and fragrant with a scent of nature.

The promise of harvest in the air after months of toil and patience.

You look above to see swallows darting playfully against the azure blue sky.

On the wing they catch flies to feed up for their migration as the turn of the seasons draws closer.

Every once in a while mid-flight they swoop down towards the edge of the meandering river scooping their bills across the surface as they fly.

Sun glitter sparkles from the rippling water so they appear to be flying through a constellation of late summer stars on their journey up and over Mother Earth.

On the horizon a field of smiling sunflowers turn their faces towards the golden orb in the sky.

They watch its daily journey from east to west in its chariot of fire and absorb its energy as they grow and flourish under its attention mirroring its vibrance.

You look down towards your feet and see a freshly dug hole in the rich mahogany coloured earth.

You turn the palm of your left hand to face up towards the sky and right in the centre is a black and white striped seed with the purest potential.

The potent potential of your heart's desire.

Take a moment to focus on this seed and infuse it with your intention.

Really focus right here,

Right now in this moment.

See it.

Feel it.

Breathe it.

Believe that the universe is conspiring to work with you when you dare greatly.

Place this seed gently into the centre of the hole and now scoop the loamy soil over it to make a warm,

Nourishing and fertile bed to grow from.

Feel its richness against your fingers and how it moulds with your touch to make a nourishing cradle.

With added intensity draw on the energy of makkiah.

It is nourishment,

Water and light for that seed to grow.

Focus on the area of the rich soil where your intention has been planted and let the mantra of makkiah hold your focus fully as you repeat it internally now.

Say it with reverence,

Conviction and full consciousness.

Makkiah.

Makkiah.

Makkiah.

And as you do,

A green shoot offers itself up through the soil,

Twisting and turning towards the light,

A dance of freedom and life created by your energy.

Take a deep inhale and then exhale more energy into your intention.

As you do,

The lush emerald shoot rapidly spirals upwards with each focused breath of life from your lungs.

It searches for the sun just as the ripe sunflowers have turned to face the golden orb as it passes above them.

Keep inhaling inspiration into this pure seed of intention that you're bringing to life,

Breath by breath.

Smile with wonder at what you are creating as leaves start to form from the thickening stem,

A sign that your energy is giving its strength so that it will last.

It will become a reality.

Your reality.

This is makkiah.

Energy flows to where your attention goes.

As long as you continue to give attention to your intention and nourish it,

It will continue to grow until it reaches the height and splendor of the other radiant sunflowers in the field before you.

Now bring your awareness back to your breath.

Sense the peace of the assurance that your intention is becoming a reality.

Right here,

Right now,

In this moment.

Feel the radiance of the sun on your cheeks.

And just like golden sunflowers,

Joyfully soak its attention,

Nectar for the soul.

Trust that your heart has connected with your intention to bring it life and your energy combined with that of everything around you is now harnessed through the makkiah principle to manifest it in a positive way.

Now bring your awareness back to your breath and feel into your body.

How do you feel compared to the start of this practice?

Just note any changes without judgment or attachment.

Having brought your focus back to your body,

Give some of this attention back to yourself and rub your hands together vigorously.

Place your palms over your eyes and with a deep inhale,

Draw the energy you have created down through your palms into your eye sockets.

Drink in this manna,

This prana,

This life force.

Allow it to soak into the deepest level of your cells to nourish,

To heal,

To create,

To inspire this elixir of life,

Your life.

Place your hands together in prayer pose at your brow and bow slightly forward,

Placing pressure at your third eye.

You are awakening to a new reality.

You create your life through your thoughts,

Which become actions.

So make them a positive force for yourself and those around you.

Return to an upright position.

Place your left hand at your heart space and place your right hand over it.

Again,

Bow to your heart,

Which you are connecting to at a deeper level.

Really start to listen to its truth.

Practice listening that little bit longer and a little bit deeper for your answers.

Again,

Return to an upright position.

Place your left hand,

Two finger widths below your navel and a fist and wrap your right hand over it.

Push in and down to anchor this manna,

This prana,

This intention you are bringing into reality,

Into your solar plexus power center and then lean forward 45 degrees.

Return to an upright position and place your thumbs into the creases at the top of your thighs with your fingertips wrapped over your hips and pointing towards the earth.

Take a deep inhale.

And on the exhale,

Anchor to root into your lower energy center,

Your root,

Your foundation.

Fix the intention you have brought to life and ground it into your being.

Bring your palms to sit on the top of your thighs and say a big mahalo.

Thank you to yourself for committing to this practice,

For being fully focused with your attention and allowing your energy to flow.

Mahalo from my heart to yours and may the spirit of Aloha fill you with joy as you walk in beauty in the assurance that your intention is becoming your reality.

Right here,

Right now,

In this moment.

Aloha.

Aloha.

Hi.

Aloha.
