Hawaii is a special, healing place for me and my husband and each time we visit I get a new insight as to why that is. When we first started vacationing there (sometimes with our children and other times just the two of us) I knew that being outdoors and not having to worry about the usual daily issues (work, housework, cooking, etc.) helped us to relax and connect with each other and the children more. However, there is much more to it from a physical and energetic perspective.
Walking on a beach barefoot, swimming or wading in the ocean “grounds” you. Positive electrons in the form of free radicals can build up in our bodies and direct contact with the Earth, which has negative charges, balances this out. It reduces inflammation, pain stress, improves sleep, blood flow and lymphatic/venous return to the heart and improves mood. The water is much warmer in Hawaii so I enjoy snorkeling or wading. California water is too cold for my body.
The ocean has many healing properties. It contains trace minerals that help our body to function properly. It is high in magnesium which has a soothing effect on the mind, the nervous system, relaxes muscles and can improve sleep.
I believe, what makes Hawaii different from beaches in the US and Europe is its age and how active and raw the energy is here. The North American continent was formed about 1.8-2 billion years ago while the oldest Hawaiian island of Kauai was formed about 5 million years ago. Two of the islands still have active volcanoes and continue to shape the landscape and energy field of those islands. The energy seems stronger, yet calm in Hawaii compared to the continental US. One year we were on the big island while the volcano was flowing. Going to the volcano park and seeing the molten core come up and then run down to the sea was amazing. I felt so connected to the Earth. There have been many evenings when looking at the horizon I felt like I could see where the Earth energy and Universal energy met!
Also, many sea creatures seem so relaxed and more interactive in Hawaii. The sea turtles swam right next to me and when we encountered them sunbathing on the beach, their energy was calming to me. During the winter months we go whale watching on a pontoon boat which is very low on the water. Seeing them up close is an awe-inspiring experience. Whales frequently swim underneath the boat, making eye contact. They have a beautiful soul; I could see and feel their power yet the energy was that of a gentle giant.
All of the above combines to help my husband and me to reconnect with our Higher Self, calm the nervous system and promote physical healing in the body. If you have the opportunity to visit the islands, I highly recommend it. If you are not able to journey that far, go outside and ground yourself, receive HT sessions and do what ever helps you to reconnect with your spirit and body.
If you have any questions or would like a session please contact me.
