In the heart of the Pacific Ocean, the Hawaiian Islands are not just a place of breathtaking beauty but also a cradle of rich cultural heritage. One of the gems of this heritage is the Hawaiian language, a vessel for the values and philosophies that have guided the people of Hawai'i for generations. Among the many phrases that capture the spirit of Hawaiian wisdom, "E Pili Mai" stands out for its profound simplicity and depth.

The Literal and the Philosophical

At its core, "E Pili Mai" translates to "come closer" or "approach." However, like many phrases in the Hawaiian language, its meaning stretches far beyond the literal. It's an invitation, not just to move physically closer but to engage more deeply with the world around us.

The interpretation of "E Pili Mai" as "be here now in the present moment" opens up a new dimension to the phrase, transforming it into a powerful reminder of mindfulness and presence. It's a call to set aside distractions and worries about the past or future and to fully immerse oneself in the now.

This energy of Being Present is what I strive to co-create with clients by using human touch.
