Don't Wash Your Hands... Out of Fear

What Are You Thinking When You Wash Your Hands?
Are you afraid of catching the flu? Are you worried about what you touch and who you are near? Are you washing your hands or "wringing your hands" in stress? You may need to change the way you are thinking. Fear increases tension. Don't wash your hands out of fear and protection but wash as a practice of wellness. Put your attention on increasing harmony and make a healing ritual out of washing your hands.
Think About This The Next Time You Wash Your Hands
Wash Your Hands The Huna Way and Delete Those Fearful Thoughts
The Huna Philosophy as taught by Serge Kahili King offers 7 principles or ways to think about life. I offer these 7 ways to think about washing your hands.
- IKE: The World Is What You Think It Is. Are you washing your hands out of fear? Fear increases tension. Change your thoughts to washing your hands as a good practice in health and wellness. Much less stress that way.
- KALA: There Are No Limits. Are you aware that you are already connected with everything in the universe? Why not wash your hands and connect in love. Love increases relaxation and in turn supports health and wellness.
- MAKIA: Energy Flows Where Attention Goes. Why are you thinking so much about the flu? Focus on health not disease. Acknowledge that the problem exists then focus on the solution. Think of washing your hands as a way of creating harmony rather than protecting you from the flu.
- MANAWA: Now Is The Moment Of Power. Why worry? Why Panic? Why ask "What if I die or get seriously ill from the flu?" What if you don't! Stay in the present moment. "Bless the Present, Trust Yourself and Expect the Best." Wash your hands and "pau" - be done with it.
- ALOHA: To Love Is To Be Happy With. Focus on love, not fear. A loving state is a more relaxed state. Wash your hands with a smile on your face. Feel clean and refreshed. So much better than scrubbing those nasty germs away with a wringing of the hands and a tense and wrinkled brow.
- MANA: All Power Comes From Within. Take it into your own hands. Do what is best for you and your family. You are not helpless. There is always something that you can do to stay healthy. Your body is great at healing itself. Help it do its job by staying relaxed.
-
PONO: Effectiveness Is The Measure Of Truth. There is always another way to do anything. If what you are doing isn't working then try something else. Anything is possible if you can find the way to do it.
We have been told that if you wash your hands to a slow rendition of "Happy Birthday" or sing it 2 times if you are a fast singer, you will have the correct length of time for becoming clean.
Don't forget to add your lyrics to the Wash Your Hands Songs below.

Create a Healing Ritual
When we wash our hands we are generating energy through the movement of the hands. Why not have a healing intent and send this healing around the world.
Start by taking a piko piko breath (center to center).
Inhale with your focus at the crown of your head.
Exhale with your focus at your hands.
Visualize the healing light of la'a kea in your hands.
A light that starts the size of a pea. It can be any color.
As you rub your hands together and as you sing one of the washing hands songs
Visualize this light growing in size and spreading from your hands to the room, to the world outside and around this earth to the universe.
Send off your blessings and pau... you are done.

Hands, Water and Healing
Some Hawaiian Thought
The Hawaiian language gives me insight into the practice of health and wellness. I want to share with you a few of the definitions from Pukui and Elbert's Hawaiian Dictionary that relate to hands, water and healing.Manamana: hands, finger, toe, to impart mana; appendages, branches, rays, forks; to branch out
Lima: hand, arm, finger, sleeve, number five
Mana: 1. Supernatural or divine power, mana, miraculous power; a powerful nation, authority; to give mana to, to make powerful; to have mana, power, authority; authorization, privilege; miraculous, divinely powerful, spiritual; possessed of mana, power 2. branch, limb; crosspiece, a line projecting from another line; stream branch, road branch or fork; variant, version, as of a tale; to branch out, spread out.
Wai: water, liquid; to flow, like water, fluid
Ola: Life, health, well-being, living, livelihood, means of support, salvation; alive, living, curable, spared, recovered; healed; to live, to spare, save, heal, grant life, survive, thrive.
Ma'i: Sickness, illness, disease, ailment, patient, sick person; sick, ill...
The Huna Philosophy as taught by Serge Kings gives us further insight:
The Hawaiian word ola means life and healing. It bears reference to abundant energy. The opposite condition, sickness is called ma'i it bears reference to a state of spreading tension.
Sickness is a behavior related to stress. Wellness is a behavior related to relaxation.

Wash Your Hands
What are they saying?
The world is focusing on the flu and stress about catching it is mounting as the news and people around you are putting their attention on disease. The world is also focusing on the "bad times" we are in and the stress continues to escalate. I want you to ask yourself... How can I help to heal this situation? Am I focusing on the problem or the solution? Read the words of others with a new awareness.
