Relationship with the Medicinal Plants Workshops & Demo.

My name is Kai Ke-ali'i-ke-a'e-hale O Kaholokai, as a Native Hawaiian Herbal Practitioner, we have prepared a Relationship Workshop with our Medicinal Plants. I would start out with three handouts containing some Hawaiian Concepts as a prepared format for the Elements of Nature covering Basic Tastes,Elements,Energies, key words, and Attributes. The Identification of some of our Hawaiian Medicinal Plants with the elements of nature concepts are the basic foundations for a solid relationship. There are Four Plants Classification from the Hawaiian Endemic Plants to the Polynesian Indigenous and Canoe Migration Plants, then finally to Modern Introduced Plants which helps us to apprecated such diversity medicinal plants that we have available in Hawai'i.

The concepts of Dis-ease are separting ourselves from our Creator. It's all about Spirit not being in balance. The problem are Mental imbalance when we are not thinking correctly with our Spirit and Emotional imbalance when we are feeling incorrectly with our Spirit that manifests in the Physical Body. If we have a Physical Lesson (dis-ease), then we need to find the Message or we repeat the Lesson again and again, until we get the message. Other key concepts are also pointed out as a means of stimulating something from within to see that we are our own creator and we can create what we want, once we understand our Purpose, Gifts and Service.

My wife, Linda Mae Kaholokai prepares you through Different Concepts of Visualizations with some of our sacred Hawaiian Medicinal Plants in order to experience the basic foundations of relationship by merging with these plants. Once we allow ourselves to merge with the plants, we will see more possiblities for our Spirit to become balanced. So with the full workshop, you get both male & female aspects of the relationship, I cover the first hour with fun breaks in between and Linda mae covers half a hour to 1 hour in order to complete the visualizations & more.
