Release and Renew: The Hawaiian Kala Meditation
I no longer permit this aka cable to connect us. But just remember that the cable can snap back the vine, the aka vine can reach back out, but you now have the power to cut.
Feeling bogged down by past pain and negativity? In this episode of 'Happy Mind: Meditations from the Ancient World to Modernity', Serena introduces you to the Hawaiian Kala Meditation, a practice designed to help you let go of emotional baggage. Imagine an invisible cord, or 'aka', that ties you to painful memories and toxic relationships. This meditation guides you through the process of cutting that cord, known as 'oki', to free yourself from lingering negativity.
Serena begins by having you focus on your breath, helping you center your mind. Then, she guides you to visualize the aka cord connecting you to a specific person or memory that’s been weighing you down. Using vivid imagery, Serena walks you through the steps to sever this cord, including visualizing yourself covered in a slippery substance like vaseline to make it easier for the cord to slip away.
You’ll say the words 'I let go of the cable connecting me', and watch as the negative energy unfurls and disappears. Throughout the meditation, Serena emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-love, reminding you that you have the power to control your emotions and shape your future. This 60-minute guided session is perfect for anyone looking to release emotional burdens and embrace a more positive, liberated life. Tune in and take your first step towards emotional freedom.
