The Deeper Meaning of Aloha
ALOHA is a Hawaiian word that most people recognize as meaning “hello” or “goodbye.” It also means a certain style of living. However, ALOHA has a much deeper meaning. In the Hawaiian language words are made of smaller root words that when connected not only describe the physical character of the thing described but could have up to seven layers of deeper meanings. Words also have a unique power or mana and join with the energy of the person saying the words and the emotions present while exchanging the words.
The root words of ALOHA are a, lo, ha, alo, and loha. By looking at the meanings of each root word of “aloha,” a deeper alternative meaning emerges - “the joyful exchange of energy in the present.” This deeper meaning is more descriptive of the intent and concept of the word.
The teachings of Huna are filled with such wisdom, deeper understandings of consciousness, and practical ways of strengthening relationships within the self, with others, and the world.
