Returning to the Source of Health

• In addition to being consistent with modern
  science, the HawaiiDiet is guided by universal
  values as embodied in traditional Hawaiian
  principles.

• If we could regain the simple understanding of
  spirit and nature which was common to our
  ancestors, we would once again be able to solve
  the devastating epidemic of chronic diseases
  which kill most of us.
• In the modern, developed world, these major
  killer diseases are linked to diet and lifestyle.
• Unfortunately, our diets and lifestyles have
  significantly changed since ancient times.

Principles of the HawaiiDiet

• 1. Hawaii
• Hawaii has become a place where people
  come for healing. The word "Hawai'i" translated
  to English means, "the breath (ha) and water
  (wai) of life from God (i)" a perfect formula
  for health.

• 2. Lokahi "Oneness, unity"
• The central principle to understand is
  lokahi. Lokahi literally means "consensus." From
  a health perspective it means "harmony,"
  "oneness," "wholeness" and that "all things are
  connected." In the deepest sense, lokahi means
  that "we are connected to everyone and everything
  whether person, land, or the larger universe."

• If we understand this principle, we begin to
  understand the wisdom of the ages. For example,
  if we understand lokahi, we will realize through
  the principle of lokahi, we are connected to that
  food.

Lokahi and Diet

• The concept of lokahi when applied to diet
  gives us one of the most fundamental principles
  of the Hawaii- Diet.
• In the HawaiiDiet, the food table described
  as a "Food Mass Index" (SMI or EMI) helps us
  select foods that would be more whole.

Pono

• From the perspective of health, it means
  that if we establish pono or "righteousness" in
  relation to the laws of the universe that govern
  our health, disease will disappear and health
  will be restored. This includes eating the right
  foods, thinking the right thoughts, and doing the
  right things, always with aloha in our hearts and
  always mindful of the gifts of life and health
  that God has given us.

• For example, in America, we center our diet
  on animal products. What is considered our "main
  dish" is beef, pork, chicken, fish, or other
  flesh foods.
• The traditional ways of eating were always
  centered on a starchy staple product that served
  as the principal food and an abundance of
  vegetables.
• If we eat and live in harmony with our
  environment according to the traditional cultural
  ways of our ancestors, health returns. This is
  why the HawaiiDiet is based on traditional
  cultural ways of eating.

Aloha

• The common meaning of aloha is the well
  known salutation of "hello," "goodbye," or
  "love." In a deeper sense it means "universal
  love" the love for everyone and the embracing
  of all people, creatures, and things.
• Universal love permeates the fundamental
  spirit of Hawaiian culture. I prefer to call it a
  cultural "tossed salad," where the blend works
  well and creates a delightful mix of flavors, yet
  each individual cultural flavor remains unique.
• If we make these principles a part of our
  lives and optimize our health based on the
  application of these principles, we may undergo
  an inner transformation.

Mana

• Mana means life force or spiritual energy in
  people and things.
• Once again this is a universal concept found
  in the great civilizations of the world. In
  China, it was called "chi." In Japan, it was
  called "ki." In India, it was called "prana," and
  in the Christian religion it was simply the
  "spirit of God in all people and things."

• For example in Hawaiian tradition, if you
  offered food to a passing stranger, you were in
  fact offering food to the spirit of God within
  that person.
• If we regain the understanding that the
  ancient Hawaiians possessed of the nature of the
  universe, we would see the answer to many
  difficult problems that afflict our society
  today.

'Ano 'Ano

• 'Ano 'ano literally means "seed." In the
  Hawaii- Diet, there are several underlying
  meanings to this word. When used to refer to the
  ancient creation myths, it means "the seed of all
  things."

• In most Hawaiian teaching, this concept
  describes a method used by some kahunas, or
  priests, to help create a reality by planting a
  seed of thought in one's mind and nurturing it
  into physical reality. It is similar to what we
  could now call visualization.
• If we are to achieve anything of true value
  in this world, we must first be sure that the
  plan is pono or "righteous" in the Lord's eyes.

The seven steps are as follows

• Sit quietly and search your soul, see truly what
  it is you desire, then make sure it is in harmony
  with God's plan. Pray, and if it is in God's
  plan, He will give you what you ask.
• Ask for guidance to ensure that what you want is
  good for all involved.
• State clearly in detail the condition that you
  want with words, numbers, data. Be specific about
  what you want.

• See this end result in full detail with color,
  sound and action. Remember, ". . . faith is the
  substance of things hoped for, the evidence of
  things not seen." Hebrews 111
• Feel what it will be like to have this desired
  result come to fruition.
• Do not tell others about the seed you have
  planted fruition. It is enough that God knows.
• Pray for the results each day with the words you
  have chosen and give gratitude as you see and
  feel this result as already accomplished.

• These seven steps are powerful. Knowing how
  to make them work is a great responsibility and
  it must only be used with the understanding of
  the principles described above lokahi, "we are
  all connected" pono, "we must exercise these
  powers with righteousness" aloha, "we must do
  this work with universal love" and mana, "there
  is an unseen life force, i.e., the spirit of God
  in everything."

• Most of all, we must exercise these seven
  steps to further worthy objectives that fall
  within God's plan, for in the end all else is
  meaningless.
