But then, no one's offered it to me yet.

No need offer you "ha", EightFingers, you have it already! []We all do. This is the best explanation of "ha" that mirrors what our kupuna taught us. Enjoy the day, and your "ha". JMO.

Hawai'i isn't just a place in the middle of the Pacific, it's a place inside you -- a place that, wherever you go in the world it is still inside you. You see, what the Hawaiian was saying was, "I live in:

Ha: meaning breath, or breath of life

Wai: meaning water, but also a code word for Mana or life force, and

'I: meaning supreme



But Hawai'i is not just in the Hawaiian Islands, you also carry it with you, and so you can connect with your Hawai'i -- the supreme life's force that rides on the breath, any time, anywhere.

Just stop and take a full breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth with the sound, "Ha." The out-breath is whispered loudly, and is twice as long as the in-breath.

So if you're in traffic, bumper to bumper, and you have to be somewhere, and you're about to rip the bumper off the car with your bare hands: Just stop and take a full breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth with the sound, "Ha," and reconnect with the Hawai'i in you.

If you've had a rough day at the office and you're tired, really tired, but it's only three: Don't take that 14th cup of coffee, forget about it. Just stop and take a full breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth with the sound, "Ha," and reconnect with the Hawai'i in you.

If your kids are raising the roof, and your dog just mangled your 120 dollar Reeboks, and the cat just fur-balled in your bed, and you are about to yell and throw all of them out: Just stop and take a full breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth with the sound, "Ha," and reconnect with the Hawai'i in you.

You're about to go in to see your boss, and you hope he's in a good mood, 'cause the last time he wasn't and that wasn't fun, and you're really anxious: Just stop and take a full breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth with the sound, "Ha," and reconnect with the Hawai'i in you.

Remember -- anywhere, anytime -- you can reconnect with the supreme Mana that rides on your life's breath -- the Hawai'i inside you. Just stop and take a full breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth with the sound, "Ha," and reconnect with the Hawai'i in you. Anyone can -- anytime, anywhere. So wherever you go you can be in the flow of the supreme Mana that rides on the life's breath.
