Nalu is the Hawaiian word for wave and also can be taken to mean mindful observation. Observing the natural flow of waves helps us understand the waves and flows during during our mindfulness journey.

Nalu lives on a small island. And they live by the shoreline. And one day they’re out walking along the shore, and they are looking out at the waves and looking out at the sky, and they start to wonder if perhaps those waves and flows that they’re seeing out there also mirror the waves and flows that they feel inside themselves. Nalu has heard about a people on a nearby island that have studied this. And so they set out to find these people and learn from them.
And indeed, what they do find out, is that these people also believe that the waves that are happening outside the body and outside the mind are also very similar to the waves that are happening inside. And so they’ve learned a few techniques for listening and watching and sensing these waves. And this is the journey that Nalu takes is to learn these techniques–the journey that Nalu shares with us during the 28 days.
Nalu learns that it’s the habit and the repetition of making these observations and making this kind of sensing journey that is really the key to establishing understanding and establishing a practice. So, to build their own practice, they commit to taking one or more days of the 28 day journey and making it happen so that they can continue to learn and continue to better understand the waves and how they interact with their lives.
So I hope you come along for at least one of the days or as many of the days as you want, and I hope you have fun with nalu and our mindful journey. Please enjoy.
