Taking a Spiritual Tour; Find Peace in Hawaii

For those visiting Hawaii, you will have heard the term Aloha a hundred times. You could be mistaken into thinking it simply means hello or good day or farewell. Yet aloha is so much more – in fact it refers to a way of life. The Aloha spirit refers to peace, patience and understanding. It also means accepting that you are a part of all and all is a part of you. When you send out the aloha spirit – love, compassion and understanding – it is sure to come back around to you.

Over the years, the word aloha has been used as a greeting or farewell and this has made it feel a little more like a throwaway word, but it is far from that. Using the word Aloha in its spiritual and honest context is such appreciated by the native Hawaiian people, as it shows spiritual understanding of their culture. Native Hawaiians will appreciate those who use the word Aloha with absolute healing truth and sincerity on their journey through the islands.

The best way to find out about the Aloha spirit is to ask someone from the culture. You can also bet that there will be an unraveling of the meaning behind Aloha when you take a spiritual tour of Hawaii.

The islands of Hawaii are powerful enough to turn everybody’s mind to mesmerizing spirituality. There is something about the soft aloha spirit, the energy of the volcanoes, the native Hawaiian stories, and masses of sacred sites that pulls at your curiosity.

That’s not to say that everyone who takes a spiritual tour must be in touch with their crown chakra or able to mediate for fifty days straight in silence. Sometimes spiritual journeys are about seeing a place and its people through a slightly altered perception or a mind that is open and aware. Sometimes it takes someone, like a native Hawaiian, to explain why a certain place or volcano is sacred and what that means to the people.

Even if you aren’t a spiritual person or you are wary of the idea of taking a spiritual journey, you can still take a culturally rich, evocative, and incredibly beautiful tour around the Hawaiian Islands with a native who can tailor the experience to truly meet your needs.

Nowadays travelers are turning more towards cultural and spiritual travel experiences. Sure, it’s a lot of fun to swim with dolphins, kayak across clear blue waters, go parasailing, surf giant waves, and relax on sun kissed beaches, yet Hawaii has so much more to offer spiritual visitors.

The spiritual tour gives travelers the chance to truly connect with the islands heritage, to form a unique bond with people and place, and to discover the aloha side of Hawaii. This is a journey that few will have been privileged enough to witness, especially alongside the native Hawaiian people who can help guide you.
