The Importance of Protecting Your Mana

E mālama i kou mana – Protect your spiritual essence.

Your mana is your spiritual essence — a sacred energy inherited through your lineage, sustained by your choices, and made visible in the way you live.

Mana is not ego.
It is not force or fame.
Mana is essence.

In today’s world — full of distractions, demands, and energetic drains — protecting your mana is not optional.
It is a sacred responsibility.

He Leo No Nā Kūpuna – A Message from the Ancestors

E mālama i kou mana, no ka mea, he makana ia mai ka wā kahiko.
Protect your mana, for it is a gift from the ancient times.

Our ancestors remind us:
Mana is not given to you by others.
It is not earned through status.
It is remembered from within.

Each time you say no to what dims your light,
Each time you say yes to what aligns with your truth,
You are standing in protection of your own sacredness.

They ask:

• Who are you allowing access to your energy?

• What agreements have you made that leak your power?

• How are you tending the inner fire?

He Manaʻo – A Grounded Thought

We protect what we value.
So the question is: Do you value your mana?

Sometimes protection looks like boundaries.
Sometimes it looks like prayer, silence, rest, movement, ceremony, or clarity.
However it looks — it must be intentional.

“Mana is not about domination — it is about alignment.”

As you move through the days ahead, consider:

• What strengthens your mana?

• What weakens it?

• And what are you willing to do — or undo — to honor that truth?

E ala ē. Protect what is sacred. Begin within.
For the mana you carry is not yours alone — it is the breath of those who walked before you, and the legacy of those yet to come.
