Spirit Balm
It’s quite easy to feel the mana on this isle. Mana being that invisible force that feels like a connection to something beyond us. At least that’s my interpretation of mana. There is a Hindu temple one can visit in the mountains where monks take their oaths of silence. There are incredible hiking trails that go deep into the rain forest. There are green fields where you can roam without seeing a soul. I suppose we all have different needs for different balms.
Last time I was here we hiked to the Hanakapi’ai Falls named after a Menehune princess who was one of the first settlers here from the Marquesas Islands. You can feel the ancient energy along the sometimes treacherous 8 mile trek. Once you get to the pools though, it is all about being in eden, swimming under the cascading falls.
