I'm gonna flow like the ocean, wide and free.
No map, no plan, just let it be.

Writing has been part of my life for a long time, but something shifted when I began to understand how much of it lives in the body. I used to approach it mostly from the mind, trying to find the right words from thought alone. What I hadn’t realized was how much emotion, memory, and lived experience were held in my body—unspoken, yet waiting to be felt and expressed.
Through practices of bodywork, breathwork, and stillness, I began to access a part of myself I hadn’t known how to reach. The memories didn’t always come as full stories at first—sometimes they arrived as sensation, tension, or an image held somewhere in my chest or shoulders. But once I learned to listen, the words began to move through me.
Writing now feels inseparable from the body. It's not just about sitting down to produce something—it's about tuning in. Letting breath slow everything down. Feeling the ground under me. And from that place, something honest and unexpected always begins to emerge.
There’s a richness that comes when I work this way—a depth I didn’t know was available. Details surface that I didn’t know I remembered. Entire scenes, voices, and textures unfold—not from forcing anything, but from being still long enough to let them rise.
My writing is also deeply shaped by my time on a small Greek island—an unspoiled, natural paradise where simplicity reveals beauty in everything. That quiet, elemental life taught me how to slow down and truly observe. My studies in Hawaiian spirituality opened a different doorway into reverence, humility, and connection—qualities that infuse the way I write and how I see the world. Now I've stepped into the role of an elder, I feel a growing call to share what I’ve learned—not just stories, but the wisdom that lives underneath them.

A: 𝐍𝐨. In our Teachings wāhine/women blow the PŪ ʻOHE/Bamboo. They 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 blow a shell Pū.

🌿Hawaiian Studies Haumāna/students are investigating Truth and Discernment. They ask this question because, regrettably, they see female Lomilomi Teachers doing it...

There is a 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐎𝐂𝐎𝐋 to blowing the Pū - whether it is a Triton or Helmut shell or made from Bamboo - meaning you donʻt simply pick it up and blow. And thereʻs a way to do it, again, you donʻt simply blow.

Sadly, most shell Pū are endangered and many come from outside Hawaii and are imported in. 😒

Bamboo Pū is harvested from invasive species, so another link to the nurturing feminine and care for the earth.

Now you know. Next step is yours. Youʻlll either decide to protect, preserve, practice, perpetuate, or .. Aloha, Kumu Nālani 🌺❤️xu

A new artist in town for a few days. Welcome Patrick here on behalf of painting to raise awareness of the state our southern ocean is in. Apparently the east coast crew are not aware of what we have been facing lately with the algal bloom and the dire crisis our ocean is in. Show him your support and come over to check out the progress or even lend a hand to make your mark over the next few days.
