Oli have specific purposes: to tell a genealogy or recount tales of powerful chiefs, stories of the beauty of their connection to various lands. Hawaiians are able to compose mele that carries a deep meaning communicating their most heart-felt emotions and thoughts. Elaborate chants were composed as expressions of love used to woo a potential lover and to record important life events: births, deaths, triumphs, losses, good times and bad. They are beautiful, harmonic and resonate their intent through melodic and interconnected chanting together as one voice.<\/p>\n<p>Each morning, we center ourselves with an opening Oli that is calling and connecting with the ancestors- it is the energetic dance between sound and motion within the Universe and our connection to that energy. It is a beautiful way to bring our minds together. Listen to the beautiful renditions below.<\/p>\n<p>E hana me ka ha`aha`a\u00a0\u00a0 (Let us work with humility)<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2562\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2562\"
