#026 – What are the ancient teachings of primordial plants, and what messages of healing are they offering to us now?

Join us for a very special Plant Spirit Podcast conversation with Culturalist and Alchemist Ke’oni Hanalei, who honors the ancient plant medicine lineage of his Maui grandmother (tūtū), Kau'ikeonalani, in his work and connection with plants.

In this episode, Ke’oni offers profound insight into the ancient, timely wisdom of Pohala (to recover consciousness), and how plants can support this process. Recognizing that the vast majority of what he knows regarding plant medicine comes from his direct lineage where plants are gathered and honored in ceremony and in connection with the moon phases, Ke’oni shares about the protocols of plant medicine collaboration.

He also shares about his experience and direct knowledge of Pua’aehuehu, which is Fern Medicine, or emotional intelligence. He offers messages and wisdom on the healing gifts of Ferns, including what they can tell us about coming into balance and homeostasis on the planet at this time.

Ke’oni Hanalei is a descendant of the Mū people, the inhabitants of Papahānaumokuakea (Northwestern Hawaiian Islands) before the migration of the Polynesians, through the lines of Kā’ō’u’ikalanikaleimaumau, Ololu on his maternal grandmothers line, and Mahat on his maternal grandfathers line.

Ke’oni comes from a long line of healers, mystics, fisherman, navigators, and farmers embedded in ‘ike, or knowledge, and he is the founder of PōHALA Hawaiian Botanicals, based in Maui and Kaua’i in the Hawaiian islands.

A vast majority of what Ke’oni knows regarding plant medicine and distillation comes from this direct lineage. His grandmother and female elders taught him the trade of plant extraction. Most of the methods he resources in medicine making remains loyal to these practices. Medicinals, including the oils, tinctures, hydrosols, and essences and essentials, are gathered and honored in ceremony and thus extracted in small batches over a period of time loyal to distinct moon phases which place a botanicals specific house of power. This is the old way and ensures a plant transfers its life-force (mana) into product form.

Pua’aehuehu, Fern Medicine, or emotional intelligence, is one aspect of this ‘ike, and dominates what he expresses today. This is the legacy of his lineage. Fern Medicine is the awareness of the movement of emotions, and the release from control fixation. Ke’oni is also versed in ancient primal, meditative, and movement practices, such as ‘Ulu, which incite cellular memory, DNA activation, and the comprehension of familial and lineal wisdom through the reading of the nervous system and DNA.
