Far from any continent, Hawaii is one of the few remaining places where the natural world abounds. Best known for palm lined beaches, it has a varied terrain, including dry lava beds and snow-capped mountains. Because of its placement on the planet at 19.5 degrees, just like the pyramids in Egypt, it is a high energy point. And as energy, lava constantly wells up from within it. The island is a metaphor of transformation.
People arrive here from all over the world, and they find an unexplainable magic.
It's different for everyone. Relationships develop faster. Many people change even after a brief visit. Somehow they are opened to a deeper part of themselves. When I came to Hawaii for the first time to write an article about dolphins, I didn't know what to expect.
