The Sacred Healing Pools Heiau

Hawaiian energy is very strong and intense in sacred places such as Heiau.  Heiau, or temples, usually consist of many pohaku (stones) placed in a certain arrangement, and often contain a pohaku block within, which is the ancient altar.

The first law of thermal dynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.  The Hawaiians must have known this as  they believed that while the sacredness of a place could perhaps be defiled, it could never be lost.

For example, on the island of Kauai there was a case concerning hotel toilets which consistently failed to flush.  Specialists were called in to fix them, but try as they might they were unable to  get the toilets to function.  Finally the hotel moved the pavilion to a different location.  Once this was done, the toilets worked just fine.

Energy extends to sacred places and the objects within them, such as pohaku.  Pohaku hold a lot of power and seek to be in their proper place at all times.  Many visitors have come to Hawaii and removed pohaku from sacred locations, only to experience a string of personal disasters upon returning to their home.  At the Bishop Museum you will find scores of letters from visitors who have sent the pohaku back, imploring that they be returned to their home.

Although Hawai’i is not Mecca, Lhasa or Lourdes, the islands deserve to be recognized as the land of the gods and goddesses.  The land is not just filled with sacred objects, the land itself is sacred and blessed.  According to Huna, when one makes a journey they must first chant to the place to which they are traveling, because  no one else will ever experience what they will experience there.  Every experience mixes our own personal consciousness with the sacred power of the particular place.  Here in Hawaii there are many powerful and mysterious experiences to be had.
