The disappointment can be so real on the days when everything feels like it’s falling apart, when we’ve been doing the right things and still feel like we’re barely holding it together.

We can be so quick to judge ourselves for feeling tired, foggy, or unmotivated. But what if our tinana isn’t failing us, it’s teaching us?

Teaching us to slow down.
To listen.
To return to balance instead of forcing our way through.

Our tinana carry deep wisdom, often speaking in the moments we’d rather ignore. The real work is learning to hear them, not silence them.

When I first started using karakia in supervision, it wasn’t just about following a process, it was about holding how we arrive. Supervision isn’t just a meeting; it’s a space of reflection, honesty, and care. Karakia helps me hold that space with intention.

Karakia reminds us that we don’t walk into supervision alone, we bring our whakapapa, our experiences, our wairua. It helps to clear the noise of the day and reconnect to purpose. Whether I’m supporting someone through a tough reflection or celebrating growth, karakia creates a gentle rhythm that recentres us in mauri and mana.

Over time, I’ve noticed that beginning with karakia changes the tone of supervision. It slows us down. It invites safety. It allows space for silence and connection before we speak. It’s become a way of grounding, of weaving te ao Māori into the heart of our professional practice, not as an add-on, but as part of our shared wellbeing.

For me, karakia isn’t just something we say, it’s something we feel. It’s how I remind myself and others that supervision is sacred mahi.
