Win a Trip to Hawaii with Sweepstakes

Aloha everybody in love with Hawaii,

After our recent invitation to write an article about Hawaii, Best Hawaii vacation blog editors are back with a nice way not only to save money on your best Hawaii vacation but to win a free trip to Hawaii in 2010. Normally, I am not a big promoter of sweepstakes, even if it's Hawaii Sweepstakes but there are always exceptions to the rule.

Today we received this Hawaii Sweepstakes invitation from Wellness with Aloha, which offers body and soul work a unique opportunity to connect to the heart of Hawai'i through private experiences with native healers called kahunas. Having both been for many years in the Hawaiian healing business as licensed massage therapists in Hawaii, we learned first hand about the power of Hawaiian healing and the powerful body/mind + spirit connection.

We perused the Internet for currently available Hawaii Sweepstakes but could not really locate any 2010 Hawaii Sweepstakes. We were intrigued by this special invitation which is not only giving our Hawaii visitors a chance to win a free trip to Hawaii in 2010 for a healing vacation but at the same time, joining these Sweepstakes will help to promote Hawaiian culture and the tradition of Hawaiian spiritual leaders. Something we believe we owe Hawaii and the Hawaiian people. For Google and our Best Hawaii vacation visitors, this following Hawaii Sweepstakes information from Wellness with Aloha is NOT a paid advertising.

5 Best Secrets for Your Hawaii Spa Vacation

This blog post is sponsored by Healthy Living

Picture this...warm tropical breezes caressing your body while receiving a healing Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage to the soothing sounds of gentle ocean waves of the Pacific Ocean. How better can it get?!

The Hawaiian Islands provide a perfect setting for healing your body, mind and spirit. Hawaii is one of those rare places in the world where the environment itself has a soothing and calming effect on vacationers. Many spa treatments in Hawaii make use of ancient & modern healing modalities. Hawaii Spa professionals help you rejuvenate, revitilize & regenerate. Take time to relax and recuperate in the serenity of exotic, tropical environment Hawaii has to offer.

Let's share our 5 best secrets with Hawaii travelers interested in a Hawaii Spa Vacation:

Secret #1
Better check websites of Hawaii Hotels and Resorts for special Spa vacation packages. In most cases you save $$$ when making the reservation for the Spa vacation package instead of paying for your room and spa service separately.

Secret #2
When in need for a massage and staying at a Hawaii resort or hotel, check the local phone book for Outcall massage therapists. It will save you $$$$$. If looking for other holistic treatments like acupuncture or naturopathic doctor, do the same.

Secret #3
You don't need to stay at a Hawaii resort or hotel in order to make use of their Spa facilities. Resorts will appreciate your call. When you know that you will come back for several spa tretaments, ask what discount you will get when buying several treatments.

Secret #4
Make your reservation for your therapeutic massage at your Hawaii hotel for the morning hours, when the therapist is fresh. Most therapists are full-time employed by the hotels in Hawaii. When you think 4pm is the best time for your massage, it's actually the 6th or 7th massage for the therapist! Not good.

Secret #5
There are more and more Hawaiian retreats available which don't only offer spa services customized to your needs and wishes but also affordable vacation rental accommodations. You just need to find them. Search for Hawaii Retreat Maui or Hawaii Retreat Kauai or the Hawaiian island you prefer.

As with all our posts on the Hawaiian Islands and your vacation in Hawaii, we include a few links to your Hawaii Spa Vacation:

Kohala Coast Retreat

Aloha everybody,
Let's continue on our jouney to discover some other qualities of Hawaii and the Kohala Coast than 'just a lovely beach'. There is so much more to find on our island. Desiree, cofounder of Kamuela Life Retreats, Big Island of Hawaii, will share her and her husband's ideas with our visitors today. We think this is a great way to combine a Kohala Coast vacation with addressing some personal issues in your life. So, if you liked what she had to say and you are interested in more information about their Hawaii retreats, visit their website. Enjoy Desiree's post of today. Aloha, Pua www.kohalacoastweb.com

Are You Where You Belong In Life?

Many people come to the Big Island of Hawaii for personal renewal and reflection. The first time I came to Hawaii in 1974 I fell in love. Not with a person. I fell in love with this warm, colorful, sensuous, smiling island. I somehow felt at home, like I was where I belonged in life. However, belonging is not only about location. It is about your life.

Now, this is what I do for a living with my husband, Mark. We lead retreats on the Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii helping other people get clear where they belong in life. What dream do you have brewing? Are you at a crossroads or feeling unsure about your next steps? Perhaps it is time to make a change in your business or personal life and you don’t know where to begin? The following quote by Philosopher, Harold Thurman Whitman speaks volumes about the importance of igniting your own fire.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs—ask yourself what makes you come alive,
and then go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.”

Our Hawaii Retreat business opportunity came to us after we hit this same turning point three years ago and became clear what would make us come alive. We knew it was time for a change and we each began asking ourselves the hard questions. Things like: What do I want my life to be about? How can I create greater meaning and fulfillment in my lives? How can I use my talents and skills to make a difference to others?

The answers we found took us both by surprise. “Move to the Big Island of Hawaii and teach others how to find clarity of purpose and direction. Teach them how to navigate transition with greater ease and effectiveness.” Hummm… sounds good, but how could we possibly step into doing this. We did not understand the changes we were about to make, yet stepping toward this vision seemed like the only choice that would bring resolution to our uneasiness. Move, start over and begin a new business. Yikes! Oh, but our vision and the Big Island of Hawaii were both powerful lures. So here we are living our dream near the beautiful Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Running the Hawaii Retreat and Mentoring programs is simply our way of bringing the healing, Aloha Spirit to the rest of the world…one person, one group and one retreat at a time. So combine your next visit to Hawaii with time for focused reflection along the Kohala Coast. Simply take five days with us to redesign your life around what holds real meaning for you so that where ever you go… you are where you belong in life…for the rest of your life!

Warm Aloha Blessings,

Desirée Watson,Cofounder Kamuela Life Retreats, Hawaii Big Island

Hawaiian Healing

Here we go again,
Our most recent post talked about our active volcano and how Hawaii Volcanoes National Park attracts each year thousands of visitors. Have you ever wondered what makes people want to come to Hawaii Big Island? Is it the live volcano, the exotic beauty and the diversity of our island, the white sand beaches, the warm Pacific Ocean or the unique Hawaii events like the Big Island Ironman Triathlon in Kona or Merrie Monarch Hula Festival in Hilo? I guess everybody has his own reasons why they are drawn to the Big Island.

Here is another, more recent powerful tendency within the Hawaii tourist industry, which Kohala Coast resorts and private Big Island holistic practitioners alike are recognizing and paying attention to. More and more tourists are visiting the Hawaiian Islands for healing purposes, with baby boomers leading the group of searching for a healing vacation in Hawaii. They want to get away from their busy lives in the fast track, take time to relax, recuperate and rejuvenate in the serenity of exotic, tropical environment Hawaii has to offer. Of all the Hawaii Islands the Big Island with representing fire, snow, ocean and earth elements, has always been considered as a very powerful energy and therefore healing island.

To further meet the needs of this ever-growing group of Hawaii tourists, the First Hawaii Island Conference on Health and Wellness Travel was recently held on the Big Island with great success. The conference helped launch the Hawaii Island Health and Wellness Travel Association, which was successful in signing up more than 100 members at the event. You can read more about this conference in West Hawaii Today’s article article ‘More than just a pretty beach’.

Anybody who is interested in alternative healing and would like to combine his or her vacation on the Kohala Coast with accomplishing some serious healing, can find a wide array of ancient Hawaiian & modern healing modalities provided by individual healers, health care professionals or Kohala Coast Spa professionals from Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage to acupuncture, chinese medicine, ayurveda, herbalism, naturopathic medicine, osteopathic medicine, fitness, yoga, Pilates and more. Kohala Coast spas and Big Island retreats will help your design your healing vacation. We also recommend Five Mountains Hawaii and Kekukui.com online directory & a healing island resource guides which offer a comprehensive variety of health and healing resources on the Big Island of Hawaii. Find more information on healing vacation on the Kohala Coast.

Get started on your way to optimal health. Aloha, Pua www.kohalacoastweb.com
