I live on the slopes of Haleakala, the primary mountain of Maui, in the town of Kula, at 2600 feet. Haleakala translates as "House of the Sun"; it's to the east of most of the populated areas of the island, so we see the sun rising over it each morning. House of the Sun is also a good name for my blog; my name, Apollo, is based on Apollo the Sun God, who drives the sun across the sky each day in a chariot. (Apollo is also the god of healing, and of dreams and intuitive revelation... more about that in a future post...)
My life's work at this point in my life - my mission and purpose - is to support healing and awakening in as many people as possible, with as much ease as possible. What I've seen in my own life is that transformation and growth doesn't have to be hard. It has hard moments in it - moments of doubt, of fear, of having to face terrible feelings or seemingly overwhelming challenges. It may have periods of time that are harder or darker than others. But the overall path, the formulas of transformation, are not fundamentally hard, and the life that results can be beautiful, meaningful, and largely easy.
