He’e Mahola is a particular octopus that is found spread out at the bottom of the ocean floor nearest the reefs. This octopus 🐙 is used in healing practices by Kahuna and is revered as a body form of the god Kanaloa. ◼️◼️◼️◼️ #pomahinadesigns #modernmaoli #inspiredhawaiian #kukulunuiahina #kanakafashion #kaila #stylizedhawaiian #wearableart #rootedinaloha #visibleculture #activated #movement #activatednaau #levelup #elielikaumai #imua #holomua #womanrising #indigenousrising #olelonoeau #elevatedmaoli #maolithinking #manawahine #ipreview

I heard this saying about four years ago at the last Ka ʻAha Hula O Hālauaola in Kamawaelualani the conversation was around the extension of the physical, mental and spiritual abilities we have as Hula practitioners. That our fullest potential is beyond our fingertips and we must push beyond our own limits. *this has stuck with me since and has been a driving force for me in all aspects of my life* ◼️◼️◼️◼️ #pomahinadesigns #modernmaoli #inspiredhawaiian #kukulunuiahina #kanakafashion #kaila #stylizedhawaiian #wearableart #rootedinaloha #visibleculture #activated #movement #activatednaau #levelup #elielikaumai #imua #holomua #womanrising #indigenousrising #olelonoeau #elevatedmaoli #maolithinking #manawahine #ipreview

One of the biggest barriers is finding self compassion. Even when things are tough or maybe you’re wrong. Find the self compassion helps you through taking the opportunity to make things not only right but to bring things to balance. No one is perfect sometimes we feel it isn’t easy. But truly it is. Once we have find that in ourselves we can “flip it” (as my friend would say) and make it better, right then, right now. When we hold on to guilt then we contain ourselves unnecessarily. Learn and make that opportunity a positive one. #saysorry #sayitsok #saywecanmoveforward #kapualoha #pomahinadesigns #modernmaoli #inspiredhawaiian #kukulunuiahina #kanakafashion #kaila #stylizedhawaiian #wearableart #rootedinaloha #visibleculture #activated #movement #activatednaau #levelup #elielikaumai #imua #holomua #womanrising #indigenousrising #olelonoeau #elevatedmaoli #maolithinking #manawahine #ipreview

kanaloa, recognized as one of our major akua, recognized as different animal, elemental, and plant forms, also has a meaning....as we constantly shift, connect, it’s important to be secure and firm. Oxymoron? Perhaps. But maybe not! ◼️◼️◼️◼️ #pomahinadesigns #modernmaoli #inspiredhawaiian #kukulunuiahina #kanakafashion #kaila #stylizedhawaiian #wearableart #rootedinaloha #visibleculture #activated #movement #activatednaau #levelup #elielikaumai #imua #holomua #womanrising #indigenousrising #olelonoeau #elevatedmaoli #maolithinking #manawahine #ipreview

I am completely shocked and yet honored to have received this recognition from the members of the Maui County Council. I would have never thought this would or could ever had happened when doing what I just look at as kūleana (my lifetime responsibilities) because in doing my kūleana I am truly honoring my kūpuna and setting the stones for my legacy. #thisisformykupuna #theyguideme #kapualoha #iamtheirlegacy ◼️◼️◼️◼️ #pomahinadesigns #modernmaoli #inspiredhawaiian #kukulunuiahina #kanakafashion #kaila #stylizedhawaiian #wearableart #rootedinaloha #visibleculture #activated #movement #activatednaau #levelup #elielikaumai #imua #holomua #womanrising #indigenousrising #olelonoeau #elevatedmaoli #maolithinking #manawahine #ipreview
