Living the Elemental Hawaiian Way involves invoking the Elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth to assist in daily life. 

You may already be doing this and don't appreciate it as such. 

• Do you recall saying things like "I need to light a fire under my butt" to get going today?"
• When you think of needing to be relaxed and calmer, do you envision a calm river or the gentle waves of the ocean?
• When you need to set boundaries with people who are into drama, do you say "make me steadfast today, to hold my own, in a difficult situation? 
• Do you sometimes find yourself "spacey, playful like a child, unable to focus?" 

The above examples of the benefit of the elements can be intentionally used to help you manage your day. Hawaiians used the Qualities of the Elements to guide their travels over the oceans, to assess interpersonal situations with each other among other things.  We can too, by calling upon the Elements and listening to their input regarding physical, emotional or spiritual concerns. Call them all in when meditating or simply contemplating your day, to gain understanding as you receive their messages. 

Being able to call upon an element or a combination of elements at any time gives one the feeling of empowerment to know how to add to their resources at any time. U'ialoha lives this Hawaiian Elemental Way and would like to share its many values with you.
