It is a five minute walk to the pristine ocean waters and to the natural hot ponds (see below), the famous champagne ponds only on the Big Island of Hawaii. The volcano heats the rain water that seeps through the lava rock. It forms an underground river that we tap into like a warm spring of 89-91 degree water for your swimming enjoyment. |

Pele Lani’s Blessing of the Land:
On December 18, I invited new friends and neighbors to a blessing of my land. Forty people showed up bringing gifts of coffee trees, papaya and avocado trees, candles and Aloha spirit. Wow!
The Blessing of the Land is a Hawaiian tradition conducted by a local Kahuna. Kimo, who did the ceremony for me, explained that spirits are on the land and have been here a long time. “Day tink day own da land because they be here long time,” he says in his Pigin English. “So, we tell dem, they go way now and Maya own land. Yah?”
Kimo says, “Gran’fadder, tell me to get da salt from all da islands, red salt, black salt and spread da salt in all da corners of da hous an’ da land. Tell dem spirits ta go now.
As we walked the perimeter of the property, he sprinkled salt to form a circle around the property. We came full circle around the property to where we started, at the driveway. He handed me some salt and said, “Now, close da circle.”
I closed the circle by pouring salt between the two piles to connect them. He lit a match and said, “Wit dis smoke, the spirits are now go ‘way.” He said to the spirits that their time is over and the caretaker of the land is now Maya and Maya will decide what to do with the land. I got chills all over my body.
We walked back toward the house and formed a circle. We had so many orchids that we formed a large circle of flowers on the ground and stood around the Kimo said a Hawaiian prayer blessing the land and blessing me for taking care of |

Aloha Orchids:
On Saturday, a neighbor drove up. He said, “I thought you might like these for your party.” He brought about 6 five-gallon buckets of orchids of all colors, literally hundreds of orchids!

The Fabulous Hot Pond:
I have an archeological sign-off from the County of Hawaii, so I can dig out my hot pond. In Hawaii, we need to ensure that building and excavation locations are not a potential historical spot. It turns out that my property is on a 200-400 year old lava flow, so it is not likely that anything historical would be found beneath all that lava. *** As of March 9, 2006, the HOT POND is done. It still needs landscaping but it is excavated. Big John had to go down about 30 feet with his D-9 to get to the water. Depending upon the tide, I have about 6-8 feet of fresh 90 degree water.
It took about 71 hours to dig it out, going through blue rock (the hardest of lava and is a blue-grey color). There is an out cropping of blue rock on two walls of the pond. That will be a beautiful feature to landscape around.
Site Layout Plan:
I have finalized the site concept plan which shows where all of the structures and the land features will be. If you would like to see the drawing of the property layout, click on the work-study link, then scroll down.

From Bali:
My container will arrive from Bali at the end of May. In this container is all my furniture and one two story bungalow. If you want to see a picture of the design, visit www.mauigoddess.net/joglo and scroll to the bottom.
The joglo, the 150 year old teakwood temple that I will use as a workshop/healing space is being reconstructed in Bali. I have hired an architect and draftswoman to put the design on paper with all of the new structure defined. This is necessary so that I can get a permit to have it constructed at Pele Lani. It should be approved, constructed, and shipped by Sept. 2006.
Joglo Design:
The joglo front will have two 15 foot double-doors on side and a floor to ceiling glass window in the center. As you approach the joglo, you will be able to see the ocean view through the center glass window. To see the architect’s concept, visit |

Tantra Yoga The word tantra literally means "expansion." A tantra yogi (or Tantrika) concentrates on expanding all levels of his/her consciousness to unveil and realize the Supreme Reality. The goal of tantra yoga is to awaken and harmonize the male and female aspects within each person in order to spiritually awaken and realize the whole universe as an expression of the Cosmic Mother, the divine life force, or Spirit.

|
Our path of Tantra Yoga is to explore and expand the Shakti (feminine) energy and Shiva (masculine) energy in all of us through the opening of the chakras, then sharing that energy with our beloved to experience the spiritual divine in our human form.
This exchange of energy in the form of unconditional love and appreciation for the divine spirit in us all is a healing practice. It can deepen our relationships, remove our limitations and raise our consciousness.

“
Union in heart, called love, brings union in body, called sex, and when this brings union in spirit, it is called Tantra.”
What is more important in life than your primary relationship with your beloved? How we show up in this relationship is an icon for our lives, how we relate to others and to our universe. Yet we spend most of our time on improving our careers, our houses, our cars, how our bodies look, rather than looking inside and improving our relationship with our selves and our beloved. |
