      Anyone have a positive Taotaomo'na story? One time I went to Fouha to give offerings w friends. After we lit candles I called out "Saina-ta, taotaomo'na, maila yan fatachong gini" .Then wind started rustling trees from the back of the jungle until it reached us on the beach 💗

      We could all feel them sitting with us. It was wild. The entire rest of the day skulls and faces kept showing up everywhere, from the rocks to the clouds. Twas mångge

      Once I figured out that not all taotaomo'na are trying to hurt me, and that spirits in my family line are always with me protecting me, my fear subsided. It's the fear that calls the negative ones to you. Have love in your heart and gratitude and you'll be safe 🙏🏽

      Also a lot of our spirits are angry because they feel neglected. They went from being worshipped, fed, and called upon for thousands of years to being feared in less than 500. They don't get to do the work they want to do, guiding us, helping us, protecting us etc.

      Also also**** when you've been disrespectful, or even just depressed you are marked by the negative ones. You have a space in you that's just as dark as their spirits are. They're not hunting for people, but like energy looks like a door. Some people's energy just calls them 😬

      Seeing a traditional healer help people with serious issues like possession and sleep paralysis & being sensitive af, I could always tell there was something happening with the person in regular life. Like they just experienced a close death, or they were in a bad relationship

      Protecting your spirit means protecting your overall health, your relationships, your body, your mental health, and your emotional health. Cultivating your kåna to be bright and healthy in all ways. Clearing your mind and your heart. Having a light heart 💜 it's all medicine

      My positive taotao mo'na story is just what I imagine (bc I was only 1 at the time). When I was turning 1, for my bday party my Dad decided to go fishing with his primu (cousin) at Lau Lau Bay, SPN. They took his 18-footer Boston Whaler. They didn't tell anyone their plans.

      That's on the Eastern (windier) side of the island. Bad weather got worse. They were trying to make it back after a short day of fishing but the weather got bad FAST. My birthday was the next day I think. My Mom was the only one who knew they went fishing but she didnt know where

      They didn't return. They tried, but it was so rough that their motor went out. They were tossed around all night, pushed further from the islands. On my 1st birthday Dad didn't make it home & my Uncle Ben, whose memorial is at the Grotto in Saipan, used 2 boats to search for him.

      I like to ask my Dad "what did you do then?" His answer is always simple: we prayed. For three days they drifted. Maybe my Dad prayed & our taotao mo'na heard it. Other Micronesian cultures believe in sea spirits, I like to believe those sea spirits protected my Dad & his primu.

          Maybe they were exerting their power, guiding all of the search and rescue parties to not give up. It was the end of the third day, when they would've called it off the next day, that they were seen & rescued. That's why our nubena finakpo' always falls 3 days after my birthday.

          My dad tells me that sharks came and kept them company. They would bump the boat gently, curious. They saw sharks every day they were out at sea. I like to ask my Dad what he ate during that time to stay alive. His answer: fresh fish & cookies 😂 they did run out of water though
