Q

Taha Wairua / Spiritual Well-being

Hokia ki ō maunga kia purea ai koe e ngā hau o Tāwhirimātea

A

Return to your ancestral mountains to be cleansed by the winds of Tāwhirimātea

An important way of healing and grounding ourselves in times of crisis is to return to our maunga / mountains, our moana / ocean, our awa / rivers or waters, and our whenua / land to cleanse and replenish ourselves. Taha Wairua refers to spiritual awareness and the conscious care of one’s wairua / spirit, soul.

Taha whānau / Family and Social Well-being

A

Taha Whānau is the importance of social ties, identity in a wider social context, in an internal context, whakapapa / genealogy, support, belonging, and who you share your life with. Whānau is about extended, enduring relationships with family, friends, colleagues, communities, not just immediate, blood relatives. Whānau provide us with the strength and courage to be who we are regardless of the circumstances we face. They also uplift and celebrate us in times of success and achievement. The beliefs, expectations or opinions of whānau can also have a major impact on an individual, resulting in a positive or negative experience and outlook.

Whenua / Land, Roots

Whatungarongaro te tangata, toitū te whenua

A

As man disappears from sight, the land remains

Whenua is our deep connection to the land, to Papatūānuku, our Earth Mother. Our connection to oneone / soil, tipu / plants, kararehe / animals and tāngata / people.

The ūkaipō is a source of sustenance we draw from the land which is anchored through our whakapapa / genealogy, tuakiri / identity, ahurea / culture and uara / values.

It is understood by Māori that our time and existence in Te Ao Mārama / The World of Light, is finite. As kaitiaki / guardians of Te Ao Tūroa, The Natural World, we have an obligation to care and maintain the world around us. Not just for the benefit of human beings, but for all of the children of Earth, Papatūānuku and Sky, Ranginui.
