Book two of the Island Vortex Series, the Maui Vortex Field Guide is your companion and introduction to the many energy vortexes that are onthe Valley Isle. Each chapter includes vortex strength, type, accessibility, directions and more, giving you the chance to connect with these sites at your own pace. The Hawaiian Islands as a whole are known to be a major energetic power spot and so a vortex site here is a place where one can feel the spiritual healing energy, or mana, most strongly. This book focuses on the healing aspect of the vortex and aims to reconnect the reader with the land in a totally new age yet surprisingly ancient way! Vortexes tend to exist where there are strong concentrations of gravitational and magnetic anomalies, in turn creating an environment that can promote physical and emotional healing, defy gravity, bend light, startle animals, twist plant life into spiral shapes and some mystery spots can cause people to appear as though they've shrunk in size. Hawai'i is home to some of the most powerful concentrations of earth energies on the planet and each island has a unique vibe and attractive force that calls to people. Many subtle energy researchers believe the Hawaiian Islands act as the heart chakra of the planet, a place of unconditional love & healing.

The world's greatest migration of animal life occurs every evening when uncountable numbers of mostly small marine organisms rise up from the dark, chilly depths of the open ocean to its surface waters. The people who witness this nighttime migration are blackwater divers"€"brave divers who throw themselves off a boat in the dark of night in open ocean waters that are, for all practical purposes, bottomless. The animals that we encounter range in size from baby squids smaller than a pinky nail to forty-foot long jellyfish called siphonophores. Kona is the birthplace and world headquarters for blackwater diving. Its proximity to deep water and favorable ocean conditions make Hawai'i the perfect place for blackwater diving, but divers can also visit places such as Florida, the Philippines, Indonesia, and even Papua New Guinea to see many similar animals. Blackwater Diving in Hawai'i is designed to satisfy the curious ocean aficionado by presenting beautiful photos and information on over 300 strange pelagic animals, most of which you won't find in a standard field guide to reef animals. This book is intended to present an overview of life in the open ocean at night. Each epipelagic creature is given five minutes in the spotlight to explore a little of what we know about them.
