Helichrysum or Everlast, is a tiny yellow straw flower from the Mediteranean. Known for giving off the appearance of being alive long after it is completely dried, it's been used as a precious oil for centuries to heal sunburns, scarring, and for it's anti-aging benefits. Believed to be the,"flower that never fades," Everlast had properties that would benefit those who were looking to become as ageless has it's vibrant sun colored flowers. It was the French who called the flower Immortelle, and ultimately capitalized on it's abilities to renew and regenerate. In fact, renewal and regeneration are exactly what we were after when we thought to add this amazing ingredient to a special, limited edition candle, just in time for the new year. While we can appreciate the cosmetic uses of Everlast, what we're really interested in at Aloha Elixir are this magical little flower's spiritual uses, and ultimately why we added it to our new Fire Elixir, New Beginnings. Immortelle flower essence opens the doors of perception, allowing us to see ourselves and our lives in a new, fresh way, thus greatly enhancing creative flow. It can be used to strengthen the will, motivate and inspire. The unique properties of the flower can empower, release deep seated negativity, enhance creative expression, and provide freedom and opportunity for growth and change in perpetuity. Let's face it, a lot of us will set intentions for the new year and tend to lose focus about three months in. By adding Everlast to New Beginnings, we can harness the power of this undying bloom to continue to help you manifest your wishes all year long! When you decide what your intention is for the year, make sure you're clear, concise, and above all positive. Once you light your way to your New Beginning, the energy from this flower will always ensure that what you ask for will multiply in your favor as time goes on so, make sure you're asking for something that you'll always want to see more of in your life! We hope that this year will, be your best year yet. Happy 2016!

Here at Aloha Elixir headquarters, we're always trying to convey just how passionate we are about holistic healing and spreading the Aloha. It was really Keoki's vision to not only provide people with a tool to help them focus their intention and create positive changes in their lives, but to educate and share knowledge about how to heal ourselves using our natural resources. These resources include harnessing our own energies, and learning to harness those provided to us from the Universe in the form of the elements. A long time botany enthusiast, Keoki thought it was important to help people understand just how influential the ingredients that go into Aloha Elixir are, and why he chose them. This started our recurring blog series: Aloha Elixir's Herb of the Month, sent once a month to our loyal subscribers(we love you!). As our first year winds down, and we find ourselves in a reflective mood, we thought we'd share some of our greatest hits from the Aloha Elixir HTM vault.
The energy on the planet continues to intensify and accelerate, as the earth travels through higher frequencies in our ever-expanding galaxy. Everything in our world is changing, including our climate. So what does this mean for us on a human, physical level? It means that how we feel, how we manage our emotions, impacts our reality faster and more intensely than ever before, for some of us---the result is often immediate. You may have already noticed this. Synchronicity, which has always been at work in our lives, has greatly increased. Pay attention to what happens when you shift your awareness and your corresponding emotional state even slightly in a positive or not-so-positive direction. There are no coincidences… There are only synchronistic events unfolding in each moment. In his New York Times best-selling book, Synchronicity, author David Wilcock describes synchronicity as..."a mysterious event in which two or more things happen at the same time that seem directly related to each other, even though this would normally appear to be impossible. " Wilcock goes on to say, "Then in another book: Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle, found in Volume 8 of his Collected Works, Carl Jung believed that synchronicity was a key element of spiritual awakening. He felt that synchronicity shifted us out of egocentric thinking into a viewpoint where we see ourselves as far more interconnected with one another." This is a more holistic way of viewing our place in the world. We are always connected to what happens to us. What you are feeling, how you are behaving is mirrored back to you, these days, often instantaneously. To drive that point home, I'd like to share with you a message someone recently posted on a spiritual forum that I frequent. As I read it, I felt the truth in this person's experience. Perhaps you can feel it, too. Notice how your body reacts, rather than your head. Your body can read truth more easily than your mind can. (But that’s a subject best left for another post.) A Message Board Post Everything is accelerating really fast now in terms of synchronicity. I have been feeling stuck for a while in the past months, because I was still trying to solve my issues with my rational mind, but as soon as learned to let go and have faith in my intuition, everything started unfolding smoothly. Things began happening one right after the other in perfect harmony, money magically there when I needed it, as well as I was finding myself more and more being in the right place at the right time. When I let myself go back to my worrying, and I lose this alignment, or I act out of integrity (even in small daily actions), everything seems to freeze up again and I start having the most annoying feelings. It is just as Bashar (channeled by Darryl Anka) says, we are now accelerating our evolution, and our energy bodies are so much more sophisticated, that even the slightest misalignment can “freeze our engine" completely, so that we have the opportunity to see what's going on and correct our path. This sometimes felt to me as a very annoying process, as I kept accelerating and abruptly stopping in my life... but now, as soon as I remember to keep my energy levels high each and every day, it feels like blissful. This is a wonderful mechanism that helps us to evolve even faster. (End of message board post) So how do we harness the power of our emotions? First, become aware of the impact your emotional state has on everything that happens to you. Until you are consciously aware of this connection between your emotions and your reality, you are powerless to change anything. Conscious awareness is always the first step to change something. Lack of awareness is imprisonment. Notice how the Universe responds and matches what you feel, say, think and behave. It may surprise you. If this is a time of "instant karma,” maybe that's a good thing. After all, karma is just a pattern of our own creation. It is neither good nor bad. And a pattern can be changed. It's just a reflection of us--the sum of what we consciously and unconsciously feel. A barometer of how we are doing right now in this moment. Learning to manage our emotions is what we came here to do. It is the real secret of manifestation. Spiritual tools like the Aloha Elixir candles, can help us to more easily and quickly activate spiritual energies. Yes, the key is bringing in the influence and assistance from higher spiritual realms. Along those same lines, I’ve launched a spiritual product line that you may find useful to manage your emotions and create a better life. I call, them Soul Attunements, a type of “consciousness tool.” Consciousness tools are non-physical, spiritual processes designed to help harness the creative power of your higher consciousness. My unique Soul Attunements bring together the spiritual forces of Source/Nature, devas and angels, ascended masters, and your Higher Self, your Soul. Calling them forward to create these attunements, means that when you place your attunement order they form a spiritual alliance unique to YOU and imprint your soul’s energy on the attunement(s), instantly. They calibrate and encode the necessary energies for your Soul attunement specifically for you. There is no limit to what we can do when we co-create and partner with our Spirit team. Read the many testimonials posted on our website to learn for yourself. Here’s one: The Soul of Prosperity Attunement My husband and I want to thank you for making these special attunements available and very affordable to everyone. It was last week Friday night when I was reading the description on the attunements on your website. I was already feeling a bad headache at the top on my head. Saturday morning, I still had my headache and said to myself, “I better purchase the attunement.” So we chose two Soul of Prosperity attunements. Sunday night we received your email and WOW the energy was so powerful, there was light and love. I couldn't wait to sleep that night and activate the attunement. The next morning I read my email and we have received 2 new client requests and 1 client renewal! My husband had several clients call him during the week. It’s very exciting to see you post new attunements. I feel like a kid in a candy store. I will be back for more light and love. Again thank you for making these available, and thank you to all of our spirit guides that love us unconditionally.

Why we love it
We are in LOVE with Palo Santo! For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Bursera graveolens, known in Spanish as palo santo ("holy wood") is a wild tree native to Central and South America. Aside from having an intoxicating, slightly minty and citrusy scent, the wood itself has an extremely high vibration and when burned like incense, can be used like sage to clear spaces and people of negative energy and raise their frequency. Sounds amazing right?
The smoke from Palo Santo is clean, white, and fresh smelling...up lifting. We liked it so much, and began using it frequently in our home to help keep our space free of lower energy, but realized that a side effect of using it was the over all feeling of enlivened mental clarity and sense of well being we received every time we used it. As it turns out....

It's Good for You!
Rich in brain-oxygenating terpenes such as D-limonene and A-terpineol which give it its uplifting and positive qualities, Palo Santo is used in homeopathy for relieving common colds, flu symptoms, stress, asthma, headaches, anxiety, depression, inflammation, emotional pain and more.
Studies have shown that D-limonene has anti-cancer effects, and increases the levels of liver enzymes involved in detoxifying carcinogens and is what gives Palo Santo it's clean and uplifting scent.
In Essential Oil form, it's great for Aromatherapy and can also be used during massage work to assist in healing. In fact, we've put sticks of it into coconut oil to make an infusion that can be used on the body daily.
Taken internally, Palo Santo can also be simmered in hot water and drank as a tea. Great for calming the immune and nervous systems, and for faster recovery of illness from injury and inflammation.

Metaphysical uses
Historically, Palo Santo has been used for centuries by the Indigenous people of the Andes, Incas, Healers and Shamans. Traditionally, it was burned as incense and used during sacred ceremonies to banish negativity and illness, and allow the positive light force of love and good fortune to bless ceremonies, spaces and people.

Gratitude is our Greatest Gift.
Here at Aloha Elixir, we wish you all the love and gratitude you can hold all year long. Being that the Holidays are soon upon us, we decided to give our thanks for all of the blessings we've had this year and celebrate by creating our latest seasonal candle, Gratitude. The response to the candles has been humbling and inspiring all at the same time. We have learned peoples stories and how the intention candles have helped facilitate change in their lives. Aloha Elixir started with four original candles, and now we are reaching a much broader audience with twelve specific intention candles to bring healing and positive light to all aspects of your lives.
A Thankful heart leads to an abundant life. We believe that always being grateful for the things that we DO have will always bring us more of the same, and often better than we could even imagine for ourselves. Gratitude is a tool to amplify your thankfulness and attract more of what you want into your life. Gratitude, Love, and Forgiveness hold the highest human vibration.

Why we LOVE it!
Tumeric does so much more than just making your mustard yellow. Considered one of the World’s Healthiest Foods, this magical multitasker has been used for thousands of years to treat everything from Arthritis and other forms of inflammation, to cancer and heart disease.
The Hawaiian word for Tumeric is, ‘Olena. Grown everywhere from India to Haiti, this root thrives in sub-tropical environments much like our own. I’ve used ‘Olena for years as an anti-inflammatory treatment for bruising and pain, both topically and internally as a tea. Keep reading to get my recipe for 'Olena and Mamaki tea.
The best way to grow 'Olena is to soak it's root in water until it sprouts, and plant it in shallow earth either in a pot, or in the earth. The best growing season is during the summer months as it tends to hibernate during winter. Start planting in mid spring, and you'll have a great harvest that lasts during the off months. Store fresh 'Olena in the freezer, or put it into a food dehydrator to keep it indefinitely.

Friends with Health Benefits
Tumeric has been used for centuries to treat everything from Alzheimers and cancer, to heart disease. The anti-inflammatory effects of Tumeric have been shown to be comparable to the potent drugs hydrocortisone and phenylbutazone as well as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory agents like Motrin. As a holistic wellness solution, we believe this greatly reduces the toxic effects of chemical drugs, and has the added benefit of boosting the immune system and helping cellular recovery. We could go on forever about the hundreds of uses for Tumeric. Click here, to take you to one of the best resources we've found.
Let's get Metaphysical
We use ‘Olena in our NOW intention candle to energize and clear stagnant energy, help manifest your intentions quicker, and because it provides a beautiful golden orange color connected to the sacral chakra and the energy of passion and creation. Similar to ginseng or ginger in appearance, this miracle root has a long history of being used not only medically and metaphysically, but as a traditional textile dye. Hawaiians would use a mixture of this root and water to dye traditional Kapa cloth.
In traditional Hawaiian belief, 'Olena was represented by the Goddess Haumea, and the first light of the morning which was symbolic of the energy of the rising sun. This is the energy of renewal, possibilities, and creation. In fact, Tumeric was believed to be even more sacred than Pa'a Kai(Hawaiian salt), and Ti, when used in ceremonies that would consecrate sacred spaces. These sacred rites could not be performed without its presence. Because of it's association with the sun, and fire energy, Hawaiians believed that ingesting the root would fill the body with the fire of life, and thus purify a person of sickness both physically and spiritually.
Today, Tumeric is still used to cleanse a person or place of deep seated negativity, clear the chakras and energy channels in the body, and connect them to the power of feminine divinity.

Mercury Retrograde
Get ready Ohana, beginning SEP 17th - OCT 9th , it might be a wild ride!
Mercury Retrograde is upon us again, and with it come all the usual upheavals. 3 years ago I personally would start to feel its effects 1 to 2 weeks before it hits. I was irritable, fidgety, I become quick to judge and no one was safe from it. I am more attuned and sensitive to everyone and everything during this period.
As many can attest to during the retrograde of Mercury, the technology and communications could go haywire: like your laptop deciding to forget all your saved passwords or dropped calls become typical. It could feel like nothing gets done in a day and in truth getting things accomplished could take longer than they should. It seems like everyone during this time has only criticisms and no praise. I am sure that you also have a similar story yourself, one filled with a breakdown in communications, and travel.
So what can you do to help ease the potential upheavals during this time?

Have a breakthrough, not a breakdown.
Mercury is the planet of communication. Use the energy of Mercury and this Fire Elixir to increase clear and concise thinking, understanding complicated personal and business challenges, and better communication between the conscious and unconscious mind. This candle is especially beneficial during Mercury Retrograde periods, to subdue the negative impact on communication, electronics, and animals.

Two of the intention candles I crafted in my new line were created with this particular time of year in mind. With the purpose of being used in in conjunction with each other. The first being “Harmonious Home”, which is charged with the intention of banishing unwanted lower energies that clutter around your home. The infusion of Lavender adds the aromatherapy needed to calm the mind, and focus ones thoughts. When there is a breakdown in communications, having a clear mind is the solid footing you want when making important choices, or taking important meetings.
The second candle is “Road Opener.” This candle charged and crafted with the knowledge of the planet Mercury’s influence in things like travel as well as communication. In all aspects of our life we want a clear road of both intention and communication. This candle was crafted with the intention of keep open the doors to positive changes and choices for your life. Infused with a Eucalyptus scent with has always been a plant noted for its healing properties in various forms. Both Lavender and Eucalyptus are mercurial plants which is why the combination of these two work so well with this focused intention because both these elements balance the waning mercurial energies.
Lighting these fire elixirs together can help ease the effects of the retrograde.
The best thing for you to do is to take the time to set the intent for this retrograde. Go in with positive intent. There is nothing to fear, but fear itself. Fear is the lowest form of energy and to fear retrograde is already a no-go. Meditate, pray, or write your intention for this retrograde.
Tell yourself that you CAN and you WILL handle whatever comes your way, like you have done in many other aspects of your life.
