Aloha Fairytales

05/02/2019

Aloha,

Straight out from the ocean, kissed by the Hawaiian salty waters, embraced by the Hawaiian sun, wearing my own self made lei from our garden, breathing in the scents of plumerias I am wearing and the salty air by the beach, letting the Hawaiian breeze caress me - simple and natural I sing an Estonian folk song on a beach in Hawaii.

This beach has a big significance in the Hawaiian tradition as this was the place where the kings came in with their canoes. The lava sledge competitions were also held here.

This was the beach where our Hula Kumu brought us to connect with the aina (land) and kai (ocean) and find our stones for another hula dance. It is kind of hidden and if you do not know the location, it is hard to find. It is almost always empty (which is a rare thing in most beaches on Hawaii island nowadays).

This song is a very special song, which has travelled with me all over the world. It talks about the time when I was a small girl I did not know anything else than what I saw with my eyes. Joy will make children's voices more beautiful than the sound of the strings of the zither.

I have sung it in all kinds of places - on mountain tops, in the caves, in the ocean to the dolphins, in the canoes, on the beaches and more. It has been a favourite to people in many places;) It brings forth the beauty of the Estonian language and at times bring tears into my eyes.

In this video I sing it the Hawaiian way. When Hawaiians sing - they tell stories and the songs are usually put together so that you can hula it - show it with your body. I could figure out couple of new Hula moves to an Estonian folk song while connecting to the spirits of the place. I entered the place also the Hawaiian way - listening for the yes to go in and then singing to all the spirits.

Many of these things you can experience with me and Michael this summer in Europe and many other places we will travel. Check out our travel calendar here: www.infiniteactivation.com

Enjoy and share;)

I am a true gatherer right now. We have a very busy time here in Hawaii - wrapping up our time here and it is really, really busy, but I have managed to squeeze in some more talk stories with my beloved friends, guides, teachers here in Hawaii for Aloha Fairytales. I just wish I would have started this earlier!!!

Today I did an aerial silks class with one of my teachers here Chantel Durelli. It is always fun. After that we talked story. This will come up later, as Vyana Reynolds mermaid story, comes up before that.

My main goal is to get up at least 3-4 videos per month.
So stay tuned. Here is a little warm up bite. Picture after our class.

So here it comes. Be brave, courageous and build your confidence by doing something new as often as you can! Thank you Eric for such a wonderful adventure in Hilo Bay on an OC1;)

Aloha! Here is a little example of our new adventure today. I have paddled with a double canoe, a single canoe, but never with an OC1. It was a bit more chal...

This will be a nice new example how consistency and feeding your passion will build a road and maybe even a highway to my bigger dreams and contributions to the world in the future.

It is often times we put all of our creative projects to the back burner and then we feel sad and like we die inside. The idea of this project came to me in Mexico in 2017 in March. It took me 2 years to start to really work on it. Why? Because I thought that all the other things are more important! But as I do it more, I am so happy, so elevated, so turned on!!! If I could I would just do this and maybe a bit of Wantra, energy work and speaking and writing books. I now understand as I preach - how important it is to put not only yourself first, but also your passions, as they can fuel you and your dreams in ways nothing or noone else can. Yes it will take extra time (it is almost 2 am as I am writing this) and focus, but it will feed you. In the beginning you need to build the foundation and then as you continue - people start to take you more seriously and it will grow BIG. I am so excited.

I will talk story with everyone I meet during our trips who has anything to do or share about Hawaii, Aloha or fairytales. I believe that Aloha happens everywhere, as do fairytales. So lets have some fun, play and enjoy!

Now it is finally time to start this journey for real. It has taken too long. I am going to start it with the flow and the first interview is lined up. The rest will happen when it happens. Will do it the aloha flow way.

Here is the first invite to all of you to share your story with me. I would love to do a google hangout interview or if you are very clear about your story, you can contact me beforehand and send me your video for preview so I can approve it for the channel ;)

It is really amazing if the stories also have something to do with Aloha or Hawaii, but do not need to. I believe Aloha resides in all of us and needs to be shared and multiplied.
