Lōkahi Concept:  The word lōkahi in general means balance.  However, the Hawaiian concept of lōkahi encompasses much more.  It explains that the body (ke kino), the mind (ka mana‘o), the spirit (ka uhane) and the world (ka honua) are all interconnected and affect each other.  Without any one of these four elements, balance is impossible.   It is the essence of Hawaiian group consciousness, the belief that harmony within the group will insure the cohesiveness and survival of the group and that group members are interdependent. (From Google)

I've done exercises with the Lokahi wheel in substance abuse therapy with adolescents & it was really great. I'd recommend this tool; it is a great way to get kids (and probably adults) to open up & explore their lives, or where they may be out of balance.
