Karakia: incantations, prayer, or ritual chants.

Karakia holds a pivotal role invoking spiritual guidance, protecting, supporting, and uplifting whānau. Here is a karakia that we have gifted to support you and your family’s wellbeing in times of need. It is also a perfect reminder to be conscious about self-care, to embrace positive energy from natural sources and dispel negativity.

Manawa mai te mauri nuku

Manawa mai te mauri rangi

Kia mahara ki te whakaaro 

Kia mahara ki te aroha 

Kia mātau 

Kia pakari 

Kia aroha tētahi ki tētahi 

Hei oranga wairua 

Hei oranga hinengaro 

Hei oranga tinana 

Hei oranga whānau 

kia mauri tū 

kia mauri ora 

Haumi e, hui e, taiki e


Embrace the life force of the earth

Embrace the life force of the sky

Reflect on the energy of thought

Reflect on the energy of compassion

To grow in knowledge

To build character

To have compassion for one another

For the wellbeing of the spirit

Mind

Body

And those we hold dearest

For the purpose of good health 

and wellbeing

Join together, unite, let it be done
