Greetings to all fellow seekers of healing and self-discovery!
The Eye of Kanaloa is one of the most profound and mystical symbols in Hawaiian spirituality. Representing deep healing, balance, and connection to the divine, this sacred geometric pattern (often an eight-pointed star or web-like design)is linked to Kanaloa, the Hawaiian god of the ocean, healing, and the unseen realms.
Origin &Symbolism
Kanaloa is a powerful deity associated with intuition, inner wisdom, and the subconscious mind. Unlike his counterpart Kāne (god of creation and light),Kanaloa governs the mysteries of the deep - both the ocean and the hidden aspects of the self.
The Eye of Kanaloa symbolizes:
• Wholeness &Harmony – The interwoven lines reflect the interconnectedness of all life.
• Healing &Transformation – Just as the ocean cleanses and renews, this symbol helps release blockages and restore energy flow.
• Psychic &Spiritual Insight – It awakens inner vision, helping practitioners see beyond the physical.
Connection to Huna Philosophy
Huna, the ancient Hawaiian spiritual system, teaches seven core principles that align with the Eye of Kanaloa’s energy:
1. Ike (The World Is What You Think It Is) –Perception shapes reality; the symbol helps shift limiting beliefs.
2. Kala (There Are No Limits) – Encourages breaking free from mental and emotional bondage.
3. Makia (Energy Flows Where Attention Goes) – Focusing on the symbol directs healing energy.
4. Manawa (Now Is the Moment of Power) – Emphasizes presence in healing work.
5. Aloha (To Love Is to Be Happy With) – The symbol radiates unconditional love and compassion.
6. Mana (All Power Comes From Within) – Activate sinner strength and spiritual energy.
7. Pono (Effectiveness Is the Measure of Truth)– Healing is validated by harmony and balance.
Healing Applications in Lomi Lomi & Bodywork
For Lomi Lomi practitioners, the Eye of Kanaloa can be used to:
• Enhance energy work – Visualizing the symbol during massage helps channel mana (life force).
• Release trauma – Its symmetrical design aids in dissolving energetic knots.
• Deepen intuition –Meditating on the symbol before sessions aligns the healer with higher guidance.
By integrating this sacred geometry into your practice, you honor the wisdom of the Hawaiian ancestors and invite profound healing for yourself and your clients.
"In the Eye of Kanaloa, we find the ocean of the soul - endless, mysterious, and full of healing power."
Aloha Nui,
With heartfelt compassion and dedication,
