Love note to Maui
Ho'oponopono: "I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you"
The following is a RAW, unedited love note I wrote to Maui on February 22nd, 2025. My hands were shaking, overcome with deep emotions of love, forgiveness, power. Today, I share this vulnerable piece of my story with you.
My first journey to Maui.
I blacked out, and no, there wasn’t alcohol involved. I was fleeing a state of danger. Violation. Physically, I left the scene of the crime that was brought against me. Stalking, harassment, threats.
Just because I honored my intuition of leaving a person that no longer served me, nor deserved me.
I was crippling with anxiety, adrenaline, numbness. I was so numb, depression didn’t have a chance to seep through.
But I was held & supported by Maui. I felt safe, like a friend holding my hand. I was swimming in the sacred waters but I failed to milk in the beauty around me. But this is why I give the utmost honor to maui. She is aware of her beauty, inside & out — from the culture, volcanoes, rituals, music, generational wisdom.
She knows she’s beautiful.
She doesn’t need validation. Her gift is presence. It’s holding space.
It’s supporting us as humans who are broken, who have forgotten.
Returning 2.5 yrs later, I sit here with my toes in the sand, inhaling & exhaling with the waves. I am now safer in my body. I am present. I have a deeper appreciation to the beauty Maui has to offer. But her gift..her gift is holding us.
I am here today as a woman who has fought so hard for her peace, her power, her intuition, her family, her legacy of what she wants to leave in the world.
I am reminded of the version of myself who was at a crossroads. But instead of running away from reality, she persisted. And oh, how she has conquered.
Maui,
Thank you. thank you. thank you.
Your healing spirit is felt and appreciated and honored.
Thank you for supporting me in the darkest moments in my life but also reminding me of the light within me.
