Shownotes

· Kumu’s cultural heritage came from being born in the Hawaiian Islands and learnt at 23 his background of culture and Hawaiian spirituality. He met his teacher in Molokai and had a commitment ceremony to become the 51st generation of a cultural practitioner.

· His Hawaiian spiritual background has around 4000 deities and has numerous pillars of focus including love “Aloha”, “Pono” – alignment about things being in the rightful place and how it relates to your “Ohana” – your family/community.

· Kumu says that people come to seek happiness and Kumu teaches the wisdom from his ancestry to help people find the change in order to create and maintain happiness.

· Understanding that breaking the confines of how to get out of the things that make people feel stuck is what Kumu helps people with and creating the change that is required.

· If we find ourselves unhappy, we have to create change. Look to the source. That source is in our ancestry, our wellbeing to our higher power is a way of nurturing that special relationship. This includes communicating through prayer, chanting, meditation etc and requires discipline.

· The wind, trees, land, the moon are all examples of the ancestry we can source for our wellbeing.

· The light and warmth of the Sun are one of the most healing and growing energy powers and plays an important role in the duality with the cooling, feminine energy of the moon.

· Kumu’s definition of happiness is stillness in silence and being in complete and total alignment with what you are born with and what you aspire to be in the future. It is all the time and is a state of being.

· Kumu’s morning routine is giving thanks and prayers to his family and ancestors.

· The top things that make Kumu’s heart sing is singing, spending time with his family, making space/design for how things look/make him feel around him

· Kumu’s fantasy meal is tacos

· Stories from Molokai and Darkness of Night are amongst Kumu’s favourite books.

· Forgiveness and surrendering are one of the best things we can do for our health

· The things that make Kumu laugh are comedy jokes, flatulence, the stuff we tend to hide as humans that when it occurs it’s a relief to acknowledge its presence.

· Kumu’s gratitude practice includes chanting and shares a chant with Carla

 Principles that I live by

Carla talks about her recent time in Bali from yoga, to ice baths. She’s enjoyed reading and taking some time out to work on herself, her business and to relax.

· Principle 1: Exercise and Movement

Walking and moving the body to keep the energy moving. This includes walking the dog an hour a day whilst trying to get 7000-10000 steps per day and having a regular yoga practice daily and doing a weight-based practice three times a week.

· Principle 2: Meditation

This has been a game-changer. This includes mantras, transcendental meditation, breathwork and stillness. This allows intuition to come through and ideas for things to listen too.

· Principle 3: Lots of fluid

This includes a green juice; a celery juice has been part of a daily practice from learning about this from the medical medium. Drinking a lot of water to help through the day is key to hydration. Magic Mike drinks also helps to combat lethargy.

· Principle 4: Laughter

Big belly laughs, and entering into that childlike energy brings so much joy.

· Principle 5: Being social with friends and family

Whilst being introverted, it is important to maintain connections that you are surrounded with people that uplift you and make you be a better person.

· Principle 6: Do something every day that brings you joy

Make a list and every day do something that brings you joy.

· Principle 7: Spend time in nature

Especially for those that work indoors, in front of a computer etc. Spending time outdoors reminds you how restorative it is for your soul

· Principle 8: Get enough sleep

This is so important to priortise as this helps to restore and recover at night time.

· Principle 9: Make time to read

Leaders are readers. Anything to develop your skills, and higher thought processes.

· Principle 10: Know your values

This is great as a tool to help with decision-making to lead from the heart not the head. This helps to navigate what is important to you.

· Principle 11: Setting goals and self-development

Being a student of life and learning new skills and adapt to new situations helps you grow as a person.

· Principle 12: Travel

This helps me broaden my horizons and helps me learn about my place in the world.

· Principle 13: Have a gratitude practice

When we have that time to realise the things we have to be grateful for we are able to be blessed with more things coming our way too.

EPISODE – Carla solo episode: The 12 Laws of Living

SHOWNOTES

• The Law of Divine One – everything and everyone is connected. Every thought, action etc affects everyone else. We are all connected subconsciously. We are a part of One and we all want to see others thrive.
• The Law of Energy/Vibration – everything moves as frequency/vibration and each action and thought has its own frequency. Think positive then more positive things come.
• The Law of Action – each action will provide a different result. Each action must support our thoughts, dreams and goals for the world.
• The Law of Correspondence – we are in control of our life, every action we make will be reflected in our outer world and our inner world. Make the internal changes so that the external changes.
• The Law of Cause and Effect – it is each of our action that creates a reaction. Every statement you make is an example of this Law. What goes around comes around, there is karmic retribution
• The Law of Compensation – Blessings will come in various forms, money, gifts, friendships etc. Generosity and donations will come back to you.
• The Law of Attraction – This Law will bring people of things into our life by actions, thoughts or emotions. We use this energy to attract more energy. Once you start to raise your vibration, this will help to raise vibration of things that improve life on your own frequency.
• The Law of Perpetual Transformation of Energy – this law states that higher vibrations can transform and uplift the lower energies. If you want to create change, you vibrate higher and you let go of the lower energy that keeps you stuck. We want to create the life we desire.
• The Law of Relativity – in order for us to develop, we have to go through problems while keeping connected to the heart. Whenever we are facing challenges, there are other people worse off.
• The Law of Polarity – everything has an opposite. We have to experience the ups and downs of life, we have to feel to be sad, so we know what happiness feels like.
• The Law of Rhythm – everything has a different rhythm in each cycle so it’s about getting ready to face the negative part of each cycle so you can recognize some of the things that are negative and then focus on seeing the benefits of this and looking at the positives and also recognizing that this is a cycle.
• The Law of Gender – this is about yin/yang and masculine/feminine energies. We all possess this. Energy, logic, husting, intellect = masculine energy. Love, patience, gentleness, nurturing etc = feminine energy. Showing and understanding where we can balance this.
