For the Water Protectors

The following is a chant written by my beloved Kumu Keala Ching honoring ancient traditions related to water. I have written the words out so you can learn the chant yourself. I have also recorded it so you can chant along. The protocol is to always do at least three rounds of a chant so you don’t open the energy without closing it.

I must delightedly report that I had water in a clear glass sitting next to me as I recorded the chant and a beautiful pattern of very fine bubbles formed on the surface of the glass.

Translation:

Indeed rain upon the land
Rain becomes water of life
The living waters of Lono
Hear the voices
Voices of the ancestors
The springs of Kane

Kane of the water
Kanaloa of the sea
Sea living body
Water living body
To preserve the life
A life once pure
Cleanse the body
Here our body
Release the wrong
Never to return
Place the life
Our pure life

The living waters of Lono
Hear the voices
Voices of the ancestors
The springs of Kane
Indeed rain upon the land
Rain becomes water of life

Rejoice the living waters of the ancestors
Ancient living waters of a sacred pathway
Sacred protection of Keala

Let it live!
