This work has become a standard in the spiritual literature of Hawaii, and its message of aloha and man’s connection to the “natural world” is for everyone, everywhere. Before her passing in the mid 1990’s Nana Veary was designated a "Living Treasure" by the Hawaii State Legislature. As a pure-blooded Hawaiian, she was trained by her gifted birth mother in the spiritual ways of her ancestors, and brought up later by her adopted Scots father in the Pentecostal faith. At one stage in her incredible spiritual journey she was initiated as a kahuna by one of the last great Hawaiian masters, and later was a psychic medium for a period of seven years, until her spirit guide told her to stop. She traveled around the world seven times with her friend, a famous American heiress, making pilgrimages to sacred sites. She finally found her voice as a teacher of metaphysics, and spent her later years holding silent retreats in the mountains of Kaua’i. As one of her students said of her, “Nana embodies Hawaii’s ancient magical spirit, from its sulfurous, boiling center to the fragrances of its flowers. As Hawaii’s breezes caress and her waters heal, so do Nana’s long, strong, loving hugs connect one with the vast beauties of life.” The beautiful photographs by Franco Salmoiragi accompany Nana’s loving text and words of spiritual encouragement.
