TĀIKI E! #105 - THE BREATH OF LIFE: CONNECTING TO THE SOURCE OF POWER

The Engine Needs Fuel

We have talked about the Spirit Path, our intent, and our words. But even the best car won't move without an engine, and an engine won't run without power. In the traditions of the Whare Wānanga, this power is known as the Hā, the breath of life. It is the spiritual "electricity" that flows from the Source and gives life to everything in the Woven Universe. Without this connection, our Karakia are just empty sounds, and our intentions are just wishful thinking.

Plugging into the Ultimate Power Plant

Imagine a massive power plant that never runs out of energy. In our knowledge, this is Io-matua-kore, the Source of all that is. The Spirit Path (Te Ara Wairua) is like the power lines that bring that energy into our world. However, those lines only work if there is a solid connection.
