Breathwork as a tool for healing, personal transformation, and spiritual awakening
• Explores Hā, the Hawaiian concept of breath as sacred exchange, and its role as a living mirror for ancestral energies as well as emotional and spiritual states
• Integrates the Shamanic Medicine Wheel with elemental healing to offer an intuitive rhythm and practice for deep personal transformation
• Provides guided meditations, journal prompts, elemental rituals, and breathwork journeys grounded in shamanic training and lived experience in Hawai’i
The breath arrives at birth and remains until our final exhale, yet it is most often unnoticed and not consciously engaged with. Erica Wade-Watson invites you to reclaim this natural process for healing, drawing on the Hawaiian concept of Hā: the breath of life as sacred exchange and shared divinity.
Structured around the Shamanic Medicine Wheel and its cardinal directions, the author maps the breath onto the natural cycles of new beginnings, growth, reflection, and ancestral wisdom. Each direction is paired with elemental teachings, spirit animals, and breathwork practices. Wade-Watson brings together Hawaiian spiritual philosophy, shamanic cosmology, and the research of Bruce Lipton and Masaru Emoto to bridge Indigenous wisdom with contemporary healing science.
Hā: Hawaiian Sacred Breathwork gives you a reliable path back to yourself, one that requires not belief, but presence. Whether you are navigating grief, trauma, or the desire for deeper purpose, this book teaches a unique way of breathing for balance and transformation.
