Meditation On Restoring Relationships: Vā

This a guided meditation on healing and restoring relationships. It reflects on the concept of Vā, indigenous to many islands of the Pacific. Vā or Wā is found in 32 languages. It means both 'the space between' and relationships. Pacific worldviews consider individual health and well-being to be intrinsically connected with maintaining healthy, compassionate, reciprocal vā. The meditation is about intentionally addressing entangled vā and returning to aloha, aroha, alofa, 'ofa, and aro'a, the word for love, empathy, and grace in 43 languages.

This is one in a series of Mana Moana meditations that explore indigenous concepts, philosophy, and ideas from the largest ocean in the world.
