Embodying The Light In An Unsettled World

By Nadia How do we shine our light or “be the light” when things feel so unsettling, unstable, and distracting in the world around us?

As a collective, we are witnessing an enormous increase in global injustice, experiencing drastic financial shifts in the economy, and most are struggling to find some balance in their lives.

Having access to the overwhelming news headlines, social media apps, endless shopping and the distracting digital world all in the palm of our hands is not necessarily helping us.

Many are spending more time on devices than with their loved ones, and real life connection is sadly being replaced by online activity, screens, and scrolling.

Our consciousness is being overloaded and overstimulated by visuals, notifications, updates, and emails. According to Google, the average person spends about five hours on their cellphone each day! What if even just half of those hours were spent intentionally, to help bring more stability and peace into our realities? Replacing a few of those hours with a mindfulness practice, time in nature with a loved one, or one of the many healing modalities available to us could be a massive game changer.

I have been challenging myself to spend more time creating meaningful connection with the people I love dearly. “Less screen time, more real time,” and what a difference it has been making! We often don’t even realize how much time and energy are being drained while we absorb the digital world. That’s when stepping out into the natural world comes in; disconnecting and reconnecting is a power

move! Even 15 minutes a day in natural light can help reset our biorhythms. Taking beach walks together, riding bikes, hiking, having a healthy picnic, or a visit to the river - there are so many ways to spend time outdoors and share meaningful connection with the special ones who deserve your time and energy.

Our daily practices and habits have a significant effect on our wellbeing and overall health. Take some time to reflect on your life right now. Where can you create more space for the light to come in? How can you shift and realign your daily routine to help bring more positive change to your life? You can write these questions down if you like and journal or just move through them in your mind.

Swapping 30 minutes of social scrolling for a healing modality like yoga or qigong can help you find more clarity and improve your mobility. Instead of checking your notifications first thing in the morning, try a 5-10-minute

guided meditation to help you ease into the workday. Scheduling a massage or visit with an acupuncturist can help move stagnant energy in the body and restore balance, which is easily disrupted by the fast-paced world we live in.

There are many ways we can find connection and clarity, so that we, too, may be the light we would like to see in the world.

Though taking the first step toward a shift may seem challenging, once you get into a flow, it begins to come naturally. You are the light, and it is time to begin embodying this great gift within.

Outshining These Times

Unsettling headlines can take a toll on our inner peace – if we allow them. Recent stories of alleged corruption in Honolulu and on Maui have left many questioning the integrity of local and state government. It is understandable to feel discouraged, but our greatest power lies not in what we cannot control, but in how we choose to respond.

Staying grounded during uncertain times begins with caring for our minds, bodies, and Spirits. Holistic practices such as meditation, yoga, mindfulness, time in nature, massage, acupuncture, breathwork, energy healing, counseling, exercise, hypnosis, and nourishing food can help restore balance. Finding a trusted practitioner—perhaps one featured in this issue—can be an excellent place to start.

Gratitude, meaningful human connection, creative expression and simple acts of kindness shift our attention from fear to possibility.

Limiting exposure to the constant stream of negative news also creates space for hope to flourish.

Together, we can outshine these times and help create a brighter future – one mindful choice at a time.

Shining Your Light

By Sandy Schneider, M.A. I recently had the opportunity to visit the mainland to meet my new baby nephew. What a blessing it is to be in the presence of an infant. As I looked into his beautiful blue eyes, it was as if I could see into his soul, and he into mine. I saw beautiful light, unconditional love, and a blank slate ready for life's journey. I saw in him the light that resides in all of us.

Why was it so easy for me to see this light in my nephew, yet so difficult to see it in the complainer at the grocery store, the hurried driver on Piʻilani Highway, or the person sitting across the negotiating table? The chaos in our world seems to be at a fever pitch. From the world stage to our own neighborhoods, we continue to deny the light within ourselves and the connection we all share. We've embraced separation, even though it causes us great pain.

I firmly believe we are energetic beings ¬– condensed light energy from Source. Each of us carries an innate divine light that we can access and share with the world. When we choose to shine that light, we inspire others to remember theirs. It is our collective light that has the power to calm the chaos surrounding us.

To reconnect with your own light, create quiet moments in your daily life. Practice gratitude for all you have, and reflect on the gifts you've been given to share. Consider where you feel most authentic and what trusted friends say you do that amazes them. If that place feels like pure joy and love, you've found your light.

We need you and your light. Thank you for shining it in the world.

Outshine The Noise

By Janet Farnsworth, MSW In times of stress, the body naturally prioritizes protection over pleasure. That's useful during a storm warning, less useful when we're living in a steady stream of headlines, uncertainty, and disruption.

The nervous system was never designed for that. When demands exceed our capacity, the body shifts into protection. Muscles tighten. Breath shortens. Attention narrows.

We become less available to joy, wonder, connection, and the moments that help us shine. This is why pleasure matters, not as an escape, not as denial, but as biology in action.

Recently, I took a break from the news. What surprised me wasn’t what I missed, but what I noticed: quieter mornings, more delight, and more attention for the people right in front of me.

The noise of the world hijacked my attention. Feeling good offered me a way back to myself. Pleasure is one of the body’s natural antidotes to stress; not just sexual pleasure, but the simple pleasures of being alive: sunlight, laughter, music, beauty, nature, and connection.

These experiences help shift the body out of survival mode. Research shows they can lower stress hormones while increasing dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins—chemicals linked to resilience, connection, and well-being.

While we cannot control every headline, crisis or uncertainty, we can remember that pleasure is not an escape from life; it is one of the ways the body returns to it.

To help your nervous system shine a little brighter, feel the sun on your face, call someone who makes you laugh, listen to a favorite song, notice one beautiful thing and savor something delicious.

Small pleasures change biology. Changed biology helps us outshine the noise.

Quieting The Mind And Nourishing Your Spirit

By Lydee Ritchie The room is dark. It is the new moon. Candles scattered throughout the space offer just enough light to reveal our path. I close my eyes.

Oddly enough, I can see better.

A soft luminescence radiates from the beautiful souls gathered around me. Their auras gently outline the canvas behind my eyelids. It gives me hope.

We are living through difficult times.

Earthquakes, floods, wildfires, war, senseless violence, and heartbreaking loss can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Yet each month, a small circle of light workers gather on a little island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean to cleanse the body, quiet the mind, nourish the spirit, and send love to one another—and to the world.

We begin with gentle yin yoga, creating space within. Then comes a sound healing journey that returns us to our elemental nature, to stillness, to what some call point zero—the quiet beginning from which all life emerges.

When the journey ends, something has shifted. The light we were born with seems a little brighter. A little lighter.

Perhaps this is one of the greatest gifts we can offer during dark times: to pray, meditate, release what no longer serves us, and consciously send love into the world.

Many ancient wisdom traditions describe a luminous center within the body—a place associated with vitality, intuition, courage, and spiritual presence. They invite us to turn inward and reconnect with the light that guides our lives. The yogis speak of Manipura, the radiant inner sun.

Taoist masters cultivate the Lower Dantian, the reservoir of life-force energy. Native Hawaiian wisdom honors the Naʻau, where intuition, heart, mind, and spirit unite.

As we rest in stillness, the instruments become prayer. Deep drums and resonant gongs ground us like the heartbeat of Mother Earth. Crystal

singing bowls awaken the heart. The flute and gentle chimes encourage us to speak our truth with compassion. Ethereal tones invite quiet reflection, inner wisdom, and a connection to something greater than us.

Sound healing, light therapy, toning, yin yoga, movement, singing, mantra, meditation, prayer, and heartfelt conversations with a trusted loved one or therapist are among the many paths that help us release fear, soften suffering, and remember who we truly are.

Perhaps our deepest wisdom does not arise solely from the thinking mind, but from a luminous center within that quietly guides us toward courage, balance, and authentic living.

May we meet one another with understanding, kindness, grace, and respect. May we remember that beneath our differences, we are connected by one Source, one humanity, and one shared hope for peace. May we allow that inner light to shine a little brighter each day.

From Ashes To Aloha

Rebuilding Homes, Restoring Hope

By Denise Nussbaum Early on August 8, 2023, Lahaina woke to what felt like an unusual day. The power was out and high winds made many feel restless. As the day progressed, the winds turned out to be an omen of events to come.

By the evening, everything was gone. Driven by the hurricane-force winds, a massive wildfire swept through the historic town with terrifying speed. In minutes, homes, businesses, and decades of memories went up in smoke. People fled with nothing but the clothes on their backs, some leaping into the ocean to escape the flames.

When the smoke cleared, the Lahaina everyone knew was unrecognizable. Yet amid the devastation, the community didn't wait for help. Neighbors rescued neighbors, strangers became family, and volunteers quickly pooled resources.

This was the moment Aloha Ranch Lahaina's mission changed forever. Since 2019, they had supported vulnerable local families, but overnight the need exploded. Hundreds of wildfire survivors suddenly faced a heartbreaking reality: they had lost everything.

Even for families who secured temporary housing, the struggle wasn't over. A bare apartment isn't a home. It doesn't have a bed to sleep on, dishes or utensils to cook with, or towels to dry off. There are no sheets, lamps, or warm blankets to comfort a frightened child. That's where Aloha Ranch stepped in—bridging the gap between surviving and beginning to heal.

Every donated bed frame meant a restful night after months of uncertainty. Every kitchen table gave a family a place to gather again. Every plate, towel, and pillow reminded survivors they hadn't been forgotten.

It wasn't simply about providing household items; it was about restoring dignity and rebuilding hope, one home at a time.

From sunrise until late at night, volunteers sorted donations while partners and supporters across the country gave generously, trusting their gifts would reach those who needed them most. Together, they proved that aloha isn't just a word—it's a promise to care for one another.

The fire may have destroyed the town, but it couldn't destroy its spirit. That resilience lives on in volunteers who carry furniture into new homes, donors who quietly give what they can, and survivors who find the strength to begin again. This isn't just a story of tragedy; it's the story of a community choosing hope over despair. And that story is still being written.

When you lose everything, it's the everyday essentials you miss most: a comfortable bed, a kitchen table, warm towels, cookware, and clean sheets. These aren't just household items; they’re the foundation of a safe, stable home. Your support helps provide these essentials, giving families the fresh start they deserve.

When you give to Aloha Ranch Lahaina, you're doing far more than donating furniture and supplies. You're helping parents create a safe place for their children, restoring hope, and reminding our neighbors they are not alone. Please join us today. Together, we can help another family open their door and finally feel at home again.

Be The Light And Breathe!

By Lalénya L. Vann We are radiant luminous Beings made of light, stardust and love!

We are blessed to live on beautiful, sacred Gaia and to have the freedom of choice. Each of us has a column of light emanating from our hearts that connects us to the Divine Source of creativity, light, and love, and to our dear Mother Earth for grounding, nurturing, and nourishment.

So, breathe deeply into your heart, align your column of light, above and below, and remember something that you are grateful for. Now hold the Intention for Peace - in your heart, and on Earth. Take another deep breath, breathing in light and love, hold for a moment, slowly release and exhale fully and completely, releasing all the “stuff” that’s not yours. Pause. Relax your whole body. Repeat. Even stopping for a moment and taking three breaths can help calm you.

And you can always “ask your helping spirits” for help. Maybe you call them angels, ancestors, or energies. I like to call on my helping spirits in a form of gratitude, saying “Thank you for your many blessings! And thank you for your guidance, and helping me to manifest in my life.” I also use visualizing, embodying the feelings, and acting as if I already have it. Then, let it go! And remember to thank them when it’s received! Of course, it’s important to let go of doubt, worry, and anxiety, and to trust!

I know and believe that as radiant luminous Beings, with love in our hearts, holding the intention for peace, we can “outshine these times.” So, take a deep breath, then take the next step, with the Spirit of Aloha, and be the light and love you wish to see in the world Lalénya L.

Dr. Douglas J. Price, D.C. We send our love and light to Dr. Douglas J. Price, D.C., who peacefully passed on April 6, 2026, at his home on Maui.

Doug was a cherished member of the Maui Vision Magazine family for many years, sharing his wisdom as both a regular contributor and valued advertiser. A chiropractor, teacher, author, and passionate advocate for holistic healing, he devoted more than four decades to helping others discover deeper pathways to wellness. He studied and practiced healing modalities well beyond chiropractic and New German Medicine. He was an avid animal lover, spiritual seeker and dedicated, loyal friend with a heart of gold.

Born with a significant hearing impairment, Doug transformed what many would have viewed as a limitation into one of his greatest gifts. He often said that learning to “feel” people rather than simply hear them gave him a unique ability to connect with others on a profound level. That compassion became the foundation of his life’s work.

Through his chiropractic practice, international teaching, writings, and his work with German New Medicine, Doug encouraged thousands to explore the relationship between emotional wellbeing and physical health. Whether speaking at seminars, mentoring students, or working one-on-one with clients, his mission remained the same: to empower others with knowledge, hope and the possibility of healing.

Doug’s generous spirit, inquisitive mind, and unwavering commitment to service touched countless lives on Maui and around the world.

We are grateful for the inspiration he shared so freely and celebrate a life dedicated to healing, learning, and uplifting humanity.

A hui hou, Doug. Your light and legacy will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew you.

Meet Visionary Artist “Dolphin Dave”

By Lydee Ritchie There is a bright star on Maui whom many already know. If you haven't met David “Dolphin Dave” Jimenez, you'll immediately notice the inner light that shines through his art, music, and joyful spirit.

“You could say I am a visionary channeler seeding joy, peace, and love to uplift human consciousness through my art and music,” says Jimenez.

His whimsical paintings of dolphins, whales, and cosmic nature scenes can be found in health food stores and murals across Maui.

Painting these sentient ocean beings comes naturally to this whale and dolphin whisperer.

For years, Jimenez free-dived with them while leading ocean retreats. Holding his breath for nearly seven minutes also helped him become an accomplished circular-breathing didgeridoo musician.

Art has always been part of his life. As a child, he was constantly drawing. Later, he studied art in college while outshining in basketball, where his 6-foot-2 frame gave him an advantage. Now approaching his 69th birthday, he laughs that he can still hold his own on the court.

In 1987, Jimenez followed a powerful calling to leave California for Hawaii during the Harmonic Convergence. Influenced by Darryl Anka, who channels the entity Bashar, he found validation for the extraordinary experiences he'd had since childhood, including witnessing UFOs and otherworldly beings.

Grounded by family, guided by Spirit, the father of three and now a proud grandfather has this message for outshining these times: “We're all part of a much bigger picture. I see myself as a ‘mid-man’ (like a midwife) assisting with the rebirthing and awakening of human consciousness. Through my art, I hope people open their hearts to light, love, and the realization that we're deeply connected to something far greater than ourselves.”

Featured at the Sept. 26 Yin Yoga Sound Healing event at Lumeria Maui, David “Dolphin Dave”Jimenez will create a live painting, offer artwork for sale, and perform didgeridoo and handpan. Saturday, 6:30–8:30 p.m. RSVP: Text 808.757.1111. Find “Dolphin Dave“ on Facebook.

Maui Vision Magazine

By Greg “Magick” Bernstein Almost all self-help advice has one goal: help you feel better. But what if that’s exactly what’s keeping you from peace?

Most of us believe peace is something we attain once we’ve eliminated fear, sadness, anxiety, or uncertainty. So we spend our lives trying to direct both our circumstances and our emotions toward what feels good.

But there’s a problem. If your peace depends on feeling good, you’ll only experience peace part of the time. Life is beautifully unpredictable. Every relationship will eventually change. Every possession will one day be lost. Life includes disappointment, uncertainty, and grief. If peace depends on minimizing those experiences, it will always be fleeting.

So perhaps we’ve been searching for peace in the wrong place. Real peace isn’t found by controlling what happens; it comes from learning to love reality exactly as it is in each moment, regardless of how it feels. We may not want to experience pain, sadness, or fear, but resisting those experiences creates most, if not all, of our suffering. When we fully love and accept reality exactly as it is, including whatever feelings are present, suffering dissolves, and those experiences simply become what is.

When we stop arguing with reality, something extraordinary happens. We discover that peace was never hiding behind different circumstances or better feelings. It was hidden beneath our resistance to what already is.

Ironically, this doesn’t make us passive. We may still pursue our dreams, improve our health, repair our relationships, or work to create a better world. The difference is that we no longer do those things to find peace. We do them from peace, not in search of it. That is true freedom.

For over 25 years, Greg “Magick”Bernstein has guided people toward profound healing, lasting peace, and spiritual awakening through private sessions and transformational retreats in Hawaii and at some of the world’s most powerful sacred sites.

Choose Art For Well-being

By Mary Albitz

In a world of constant screens, financial pressures, and endless demands to be productive, finding time to slow down and be creative can feel impossible. Yet one of the most powerful tools for improving well-being requires only a pen or pencil and paper: art.

You don’t need talent or experience to benefit. Whether you’re doodling, painting, taking photos, or working with clay, the simple act of creating supports your mind, body, and emotional health.

Making art relieves stress by helping you unplug from daily pressures and enter a calming “flow state”—a feeling of complete focus and presence. At Island Art Party, we call it active meditation, and we’ve heard countless stories from guests who found comfort through creativity during periods of grief, anxiety, and other life challenges.

Creative activities also stimulate brain plasticity, strengthening connections between brain cells as you learn something new. Just as importantly, art provides a safe outlet for emotions that are difficult to express with words. Focusing on a shared activity often opens the door to meaningful conversations, especially with teens or anyone who struggles to talk about their feelings. Through color, texture, and shape, emotions can be released without speaking, making art therapy an effective tool in mental health care.

The key is to let go of perfection. You’re not creating for a museum—you’re creating for yourself. Start with inexpensive supplies, embrace the mess, and remember what Bob Ross, the iconic American painter and television host, famously reminded us: “There are no mistakes in art, only happy little accidents.“ By setting aside even a few minutes each week to create, you give your brain a chance to rest, process emotions, and recharge. So grab a pencil, paintbrush, or camera, and let your creativity become part of your well-being!

Outshining The Chaos

By Juliet Butters Doty We are living in extraordinary times that offer a unique opportunity to rise above the noise. This year marks the beginning of a powerful new era meant for building a deeply rooted, internal spiritual reality.

To outshine the chaos, one needs to focus on what truly excites and fulfills your soul.

Astrologically, the second half of 2026 brings a particular cosmic shift. With Jupiter, freshly in Leo, we are infused with vital energy, passion, and a magnanimous, altruistic, and inspired humanitarianism. There’s a sense of freedom laced with purpose with Jupiter in the Lion’s domain.

Perhaps it is time to disperse the goodness of Jupiter out into our world. The South Node of Fate meets up with Jupiter this November, requiring a karmic clearing out. This celestial duo will purposefully destabilize the outdated, unconscious, and impermanent structures in your life. While this churning process might feel agitating, it is a necessary cosmic intervention to help you sort through distractions and reclaim your personal freedom into deeper meaning.

To align with this upward-moving energy, one needs to consciously shift focus away from material targets toward spiritual growth. And so, audit your energy: Pinpoint exactly where you are scattering your time, feeling drained, or letting fear keep you stuck. Adjust your focus: Release those emotional drains to make room for your authentic truth. Double down on stillness: Dedicate extra time to meditation and quiet practice throughout the rest of the year. It is essential to calm your nervous system and escape the external chaos By trusting your instincts and prioritizing your inner world, you will unlock a profound sense of purpose that makes your heart truly sing.

Moving Through Uncertain Times

By Jeffre Naniola and John T Gelert, LMT There are days when the news feels overwhelming, and the troubles of the world weigh heavy. Headlines filled with conflict, uncertainty, and division can leave me feeling anxious and emotionally drained.

Yet, I have discovered a personal path toward resilience through physical movement and holistic self-care. I start with a walk. The steady rhythm of my footsteps reminds me that progress does not require big leaps; it begins one step at a time. Walking helps me breathe deeply, quiets my mind, and reconnects the beauty that still exists around me.

It grounds me in the present moment and restores my sense of hope. Swimming offers another kind of healing. As I glide through the water, I feel stress dissolve and worries become lighter. The resistance of the water strengthens my body while calming my mind. Swimming alongside marine life, I find peace amid the noise of the world.

Dancing brings joy back to my life.

Whether moving gracefully or simply swaying to music, dancing frees my spirit. It reminds me that even during difficult times, there is room for happiness, creativity, and celebration.

Movement becomes an expression of gratitude and being alive.

Mindful eating habits are essential to overall wellness. I eat with intention by appreciating the nourishment food provides, rather than rushing through meals. Simple habits such as eating slowly, choosing nutritious foods, and practicing gratitude can have lasting positive effects.

Massage therapy completes this circle of wellness. It releases tension I may not realize I am carrying and restores balance to both my body and mind. Together, walking, swimming, dancing, mindful eating, and massage therapy have become more than healthy habits.

They are my source of strength and my reminder that while I cannot control the world’s troubles, I can choose how I care for myself; I move forward with peace, resilience, and hope.

A New Possibility Of Peace

By Barbara Ensign Cht While you may not be able to control what is happening around you, you have the power to choose your response. Sometimes telling yourself to think differently or to be positive isn't enough to make the changes that you want.

With the help of hypnosis, there's a way to put those negative feelings and/or situations of the world in proper perspective so they aren’t at the forefront of your thinking. We have two minds: our conscious mind and our subconscious mind. Our conscious mind is our logical thinking. Our subconscious mind has all our memories and habits, good and bad. When we consciously want to make a positive change in our thinking or behavior, our conscious and subconscious minds need to be in alignment. With hypnosis, you can tap into your subconscious mind and change your old ways of thinking that no longer serve you.

In the busyness of daily life, hypnosis can help you to stop and remember the important things, like family, friends, your spiritual life, and your place in the world. Although life’s changes may bring ups and downs, love is constant.

With hypnosis, no matter what is happening, a new possibility of peace arises when you place your attention on the presence within and move easily through all conditions in harmony and love.

With hypnosis, you can remember that there is no time but the precio us present, which is an opportunity to release and move freely into the future. When situations arise that are beyond your control, with hypnosis you can remember to pause and bring your awareness into your heart, taking a few deep, calming breaths, making positive change a permanent part of who you are.

Enjoying My 84th Orbit

By Helen Kritzler I am 83. Actually, I am on my 84th orbit around the sun. I prefer calling it this way because those 83 years are over, and I am now in the process of creating this, my 84th year, moment by moment. This gives me agency, as they say.

When I turned 80, I thought I was approaching the completion of Helen’s self portrait my Earthly time. Thank God, I have no physical pain.

Now, I really love going back in my mind to my childhood home. I’ll walk around that house. And the period wil be so very real. You might try it if you’re my age.

I’ll walk down the hallway, not as a memory. I can do it right now.

Climb up those stairs, and I am there. Moments flash, and I’m seated on my bed, feeling what it was like when I was there. It’s lovely. Because my soul is not so very different at all. I’m really the same in my inner self as I was then. The same mind is trying to understand the world, amused by the behavior of others. And for self-protective me, I am still hurt by rejections, still pleased by a smile.

I have gathered tools over these 80 years that help me in difficult situations. Certainly, all the spiritual teachings and experiences have made my life more beautiful.

You came to Maui to…? What a wise choice we made. And when those freak-out moments happen, I allow the daily Maui synchronicities to assure me that there is some guiding force I can access.

Though I might not recall your name, my wisdom mind is expanding, experiencing wider horizons merging many points of view. I’ve lived through and participated in eight decades. I’ve watched the dialectic karmic play of movements.

This 250th US Birthday Celebration is just three of me.

Ending The War Within

By Heather Culpepper, MS, PT In uncertain times, it is natural to want to regain a sense of control.

When the world feels overwhelming, many of us respond by tightening our grip. We push through exhaustion. We criticize ourselves for struggling. We ignore pain, dismiss our emotions, and convince ourselves that if we just try harder, we will finally feel okay.

Slowly, almost without noticing, we begin waging a quiet war within ourselves.

The challenges we face today are real. Rising costs, divisive headlines, illness, caregiving responsibilities, and uncertainty can take a toll on our bodies, minds, and spirits. Yet resilience may not come from becoming tougher or demanding more of ourselves.

Sometimes it begins by listening differently.

Our bodies are constantly communicating through sensations, energy levels, tension, fatigue, ease, and emotion. These signals are not character flaws. They are information. They are invitations to pause and pay attention.

Outshining these times does not mean pretending everything is fine or maintaining relentless positivity. It does not require having all the answers.

Perhaps it means refusing to abandon ourselves in the midst of difficulty.

It may look like taking a few deeper breaths before reacting. Choosing rest before complete exhaustion. Asking for support. Spending time in nature. Reaching out to a friend. Noticing moments of gratitude and beauty that coexist alongside sorrow and uncertainty.

The light we bring to challenging times is often found in these ordinary choices. When we stop fighting ourselves and begin responding with greater awareness and compassion, we create the conditions for healing, connection, and hope.

Perhaps this is how we outshine these times.Not by denying the darkness around us, but by remembering our humanity, restoring our relationship with ourselves, and participating more fully in our lives: one breath, one choice, and one moment at a time.

Heather Culpepper, MS, PT, is the founder of Embodied Life on Maui. She helps people develop greater awareness, trust, and ease by learning to work with themselves rather than against themselves. Learn more at wwwembodiedlife.net.

The Light Always Returns

By Taryn Kama No matter what is happening in the world, the sun continues to rise over Haleakalā, the trade winds continue to move through the palms, and the ocean continues its steady rhythm along our shores. Nature reminds us that even after the darkest night, light always returns. We have that same ability within ourselves.

One of the most powerful ways to outshine these times is by making self-care a daily practice.

In a world that often encourages us to keep giving, achieving, and taking care of everyone else, choosing to care for ourselves can feel like a radical act of self-love. Yet when we nurture our own well-being, we create more patience, compassion, clarity, and presence to share with others.

Self-care is also about the energy we carry.

When we shift our focus from fear, stress, and uncertainty toward gratitude, possibility, and inner peace, we begin creating a different experience of life. The energy we cultivate within ourselves becomes the energy we share with the world.

Sometimes, however, life’s challenges leave us feeling drained, overwhelmed, or disconnected from our natural balance. At Go Get It Energy Healing, energy sessions provide a space to relax, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with your own inner wisdom and vitality.

Through energy healing modalities, sound healing, and personalized sessions, clients are invited to create space for renewal, balance, and a deeper connection with themselves.

When you choose to prioritize your own healing and well-being, you are not taking away from others—you are showing them what is possible.

As we navigate changing times, remember that your light matters. When you care for yourself, clear your energy, and reconnect with your authentic self, you become a source of hope, healing, and inspiration—outshining whatever comes your way.

Taryn Kama is a Maui-based writer, media consultant, and energy healer passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic voice, purpose, and well-being. Learn more at gogetitenergyhealing.com.
