Our why!

My circle of life

tēnā koutou e te iwi🙂 in hopes and out of faith of society, and man kinds population today. the essence and connection of real bondage needs to be enlightened, educated, actioned and protected. mana motuhake. these past 2 years has been a crazy whirlwind for all across the motu. Like wise on our entangled waka. Our past lives, We are the forbidden love. I am his eve, he is my adam☘️ I’ve been stuck in a repetitive cycle mentally spiritually emotionally and physically. Up to now with no real understanding of connection. The mamae my wairua endured from losing the only essence of real connection in my life to become my true self in 2008, My tuakana. My wairua slept and wept. Vulnerable to the world little lone reality. Surrounded by the aroha and endless support of mine who was taken by grief also. Alone With no sense of direction, understanding and “real” connection. I was surviving. 2 years later 16 years old with 2 of my sibilings on our first flight out of Aotearoa and into poipiripi te pāpaka a maui, Melbourne australia, creating the lifestyle I remember my tuakana wished he could’ve. He tried to travel to Brisbane with his whānau to see the possibilities and to visit his brother in-law. He was stopped by unpaid fines at customs. Unlucky māori boy! I got you. Reached our destination with our tuahine and her hubby. Cuzzies Moe & Owen chucked a mean welcome party, dunno if it was really for us! But shiiii😍 Party was a party🤣🍻 the first meet and the one night stand that turned into the beginning of our real connection. Aroha ki a koe whānau🌸

crossing paths with my tane and his whānau who embraced me and all that come with me; was a blessing in disguise. already naturally inclined they showed me the real meaning of whānau and connections. Trying and doing everything I believed within myself to mahi hard! to understand, know and reconnect with the connection of my individual self. Pretty much Feeding the created prejudice cell of self and egotistic self and recognising the reasoning of every flop made.

Overall, I am honoured to lay my life in the essence of this man Where it is protected by will, cared for like natural self, loved tenderly. Backed by units of mana he knew Would come to light some day. He’s enlightened me from the young women i was to the wahine we both foresee in me. I have found peace in my habitat. The opening of multicultural basic yoga/meditation/spiritual growth. Raised with a skeptic of hall things and with skeptics around me. being the first tool and steps that opened my eyes to trying to understand I explored and implemented today’s ways of technology and outlook and was failing.. didn’t get me any reassurance but it did build on my faith in self on where I knew I should’ve been and where I was going to be. From self discovery and journey of self to the importance of understanding and adapting into the essence of my mana and prepare for these occurrences to come. What’s there to be fearful of, when you are your own fear, and also your own saviour. The signs from Te ao tukupū and papatuanuku through out were seen, miss understood, receiving. The changes were felt but the questions were still unanswered and blockages were achingly still aware of. The self sabotage continued for ages, within many, and across all generations. That stops here. Our first borns is our blood cord, the future. Awareness in love & understanding of the true essence between mind body heart and spirit. The feeling is indescribable. It’s not about trying to find, or reconnect with what your feeling of connection is. It’s understanding the essence and beauty of what’s truly within you & your person. Your Reality! Your walk of life! Your beauty scars, your consciousness of yours and others surroundings. Combining science with nature. You get us! The people. All Along, living an eve life. My Adam accomplished the inevitable waking me & me selfishly self guiding to realising and recognising this very understanding after 11 years of him, and this very moment. The essence of your true self. We welcome the kaupapa korero of ngā kurakura hinenuitepō. Real guidance and healing. Rongiā Māori, Traditional healing system of māori. It focuses on the oral transmission of knowledge: of them who come before us. diversity of practice and the spiritual dimension of health. In early māori history tohunga were seen as the earthly medium of the controlling spirits and influenced aspects of life🌿🕊 Our ancestors were at war in order to maintain the people’s mana and authority over the land. The true ages and their unique nature of protection and survival instincts were savagely implemented for the evolution of mankind. Today, our indigenous culturals are still suppressed. Globally mana tangata bringing front and embracing Te reo maori in kapa haka & waiata. With faith in the essence of mana tangata whenua to carry the beginning of a new world that our indigenous ancestors fought so savagely for us. now us for our tamariki and mokopuna to come. I know before my time comes I tumanako to create a time where those who love me, won’t miss me knowing I’ll be with them where ever they go. The ages of suppression and re-written kaupapa like religion, politics and scientific lies throughout every age, every generation. The conditioning of humans individual essence. Stripping you of your being, your life. stripping Nature, Animals, All things that re-produce, our Life cycle is what makes the world go round. it’s not mate pākehā. The world is Over populating with human race and not balanced with suppressing and colonising the caretakers of our mouri. (Meaning: life principle, vital essence, special nature, source of emotions, the essential quality and vitality of any living thing. Including being, entity and essence of one) From my selfish acts and misunderstandings. I am my scars of shame and guilt. The beauty of my mana atua. Bounded by generational curse of mate pākehā as opposed to mate māori. I have a lot to whakaara! wake up! korero! Instigate! Initiate! ACTIVATE. What’s the essence of you? What’s your korero? What’s your thoughts? Are you aware? Be mindful, Be Kind. Be your true essence of self for you, for your whānau. We are in the pinnacle period of major evolution whānau, flowing with the mana of mind, heart, tinana and wairua too the great expanse is the most importance. We welcome you on the next chapter. tihei mauri Ora. No reira, tearoha me te marama, me ngā mihi ki a koutou katoa. with aroha
