HAKALAU: Waking Meditation
Step 1: Pick a spot on the wall to focus on.
Spot should be above eye level so field of vision seems to bump against eyebrows, but not so high that field of vision is cut off
Step 2: As you focus on this spot, let your mind go loose...just let go.
Focus all of your attention on this spot.
Drop your tongue to bottom of mouth to release added tension
Step 3: Notice that within a matter of moments, your vision begins to spread out. You will begin to see more in the peripheral than you do in the central part of your vision.
Look for relaxation
Step 4: Now, pay attention to the peripheral. In fact, pay more attention to the peripheral than to the central part of your vision.
Step 5: Stay in this state for as long as you can. Notice how it feels.
Step 6: Be mindful of your breath.
- Words by M. Connor
(Old Hawaiian Practice)
Incorporate Hakalau into your day. This is a waking meditation that you can preform in any situation and environment: Home, work, exercising, listening to others, inside, outside.
Hakalau is a learning state. It assists in synchronizing both hemispheres of brain. Easier to take things in and recall. Helps to strengthen expanded vision and thought.

Steps for Positive Observation
STEP 1: Recognize
What we are conditioned to experience... Where does the belief come from? Your belief or someone else's belief?
STEP 2: Realize
A positive outlook is a choice... You are always at choice. Example: Are you a smoker or someone who chooses to smoke?
STEP 3: Quantify
The positive and productive potential found within... You are and always have been total potential... Grab it... Grow it!
