MAURI ADJUSTMENT

MAURI ADJUSTMENT—Realigning Your Inner Flow

Sometimes life throws your rhythm out — stress, whānau stuff, grief, overload, or just being around energy that doesn’t feel right.
You might still be functioning, but deep down, something’s off.


That’s where a mauri adjustment comes in.

It’s a gentle, guided process that helps bring your emotional energy back into balance—there is no big drama, no lectures, and no rushing.


What it involves:

  • Simple, steady practices that help you tune back into your flow.
  • Activities that shift energy, not just in your mind, but in your body and your environment.
  • Space to notice what’s throwing you off, and what’s ready to be let go.
     

We use traditional Māori knowledge, including whakawaatea, karakia, movement, breath, sound, and guided awareness, to support this process.


It’s like remembering how to be still inside — even when the world isn’t.
 

Why it matters:

When your mauri is steady, you feel it.

  • Emotions settle.
  • Decisions come more easily.
  • You feel reconnected to yourself, to others, and to the world around you.
     

It’s not a performance.
It’s a quiet recalibration, allowing your system to return to its natural state of calm, clarity, and flow.

Wairua, Taha Wairua & Mauri

  • WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? 
  • HOW DO THEY CONNECT? 
  • WHY DO THEY EACH MATTER?  


WAIRUA– The Spirit/Your Deeper Self

Wairua is your spirit — the unseen part of you that holds your intuition, emotions, sense of connection to life, people, places, and the world around you.

It’s present from the moment of conception and continues after death.
It’s who you are beyond your body and mind.

You don’t have to think about your wairua for it to exist — it’s always with you, sensing, and guiding.

"Wairua = Your spiritual essence or presence."

TAHA WAIRUA – The State of Your Spiritual Wellbeing                     Taha Wairua is one of the 'taha' in our Papakāinga Framework.
It’s not your spirit itself — it’s how your spirit is doing.

It’s about whether your wairua feels strong, settled, and connected or low, blocked, or disconnected.

When your taha wairua is cared for, you feel:

  • Calm and clear
  • Connected to who you are
  • Spiritually safe and steady
     

When it’s neglected, you might feel:

  • Numb, off, disconnected
  • Heavy for no clear reason
  • Emotionally stuck or lost

"Taha Wairua = A check-in with how your spirit is feeling."



MAURI – Your Life Spark / Inner Flow

Mauri is your life force — the energy that makes you you.
Every person, tree, place, and thing has its own mauri.

When your mauri is strong, you feel alive, energised, present.
When your mauri is weak or disturbed, you feel off, tired, flat, or scattered.


Unlike wairua, mauri can be directly affected by your environment, your experiences, or even the people you interact with. It can get tangled up, shut down, or overwhelmed.

"Mauri = The energy that animates you."

How They're Connected (But Different)

WAIRUA

What it is - Your spiritual essence 

How it connects - Deepest part of you — your intuition, your sense of purpose, your unseen self   


TAHA WAIRUA

What it is - The wellbeing of your wairua 

How it connects - How well your wairua is doing — it can be nurtured, neglected, or restored   


MAURI

What it is - Your life spark/energy 

How it connects - The current running through you, your energy, motivation, and how you hold yourself in the world    

Why They Need to Be Addressed Separately

 Just like the body, mind, and emotions need different kinds of care, so do these.


  • Mauri needs clearing, resetting, and daily tuning.
    Sometimes your mauri is blocked, tangled, or burnt out. A mauri adjustment helps restore flow.
     
  • Taha Wairua needs nurturing and attention.
    You check in with your taha wairua the same way you check if your tinana is tired or your hinengaro is overwhelmed. It needs downtime, space, and practices that restore it.
     
  • Wairua needs recognition and protection.
    You don’t fix wairua — you protect it, honour it, and allow it to guide you. Wairua is stable, but your awareness of it can drift.

FINAL THOUGHT


Your wairua is who you are.
Your mauri is how you move.
Your taha wairua is how that deeper part of you is coping.
 

Each speaks a different language, but when they’re all respected and supported, you don’t just feel better.
You feel whole.

Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi: How They Connect to Wairua, Taha Wairua, and Mauri

What is Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi?


Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi are energetic frequencies that come from the planets, moons, stars, universes, galaxies, dimensions, and upper realms of existence. These energies are part of our whakapapa and exist to support balance, clarity, and deep reconnection. They are not just ideas or spiritual vibes they are living currents that flow through all life.


We don’t control these energies; we connect with them through

  • Whakawaatea
  • Karakia
  • Breath and movement
  • Stillness and intention
  • Deep listening to your own mauri and intuition.

They meet us where we are. But to receive them, we often need to clear what’s in the way: old emotions, heavy thoughts, and spiritual clutter.


That’s why processes like mauri adjustment, whakawaatea, and neuroenergetic work are so powerful; they help realign us with Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi without needing to understand every detail intellectually.

How They Connect:

Wairua + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Taha Wairua + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Taha Wairua + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Wairua is your spirit — your intuitive, unseen self. It's always present, sensing what your body and mind may miss.


When your wairua is steady, you're naturally tuned in to Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi. 


You feel guided, connected, and anchored in something bigger.


Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi help your wairua remember who it really is.

Taha Wairua + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Taha Wairua + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Taha Wairua + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

 Taha Wairua is your spiritual wellbeing. It's how well your wairua is holding up day-to-day.


When we work with Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi, we recharge your taha wairua. 


You begin to feel peace, clarity, and reconnection without having to force it.


Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi nourish your taha wairua so your whole being can recalibrate.

Mauri + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Taha Wairua + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Mauri + Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi

Mauri is your life force — the spark that moves you, motivates you, and defines your presence.


When your mauri is sluggish or tangled, these higher frequencies help unblock and rebalance it. 

Practices like mauri adjustment help restore its natural flow.


Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi strengthen your mauri by helping it move freely again.

 

All Four Together:

  • Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi = The sunlight
  • Wairua = The seed
  • Taha Wairua = The soil
  • Mauri = The water

Each one matters and needs care. But when they're aligned, that's when real, grounded healing begins.


You don't need to understand it with your head. Your wairua already knows what it feels like.

HOW SCIENCE CONNECTS WITH MĀORI KNOWLEDGE

First, Some Simple Māori Truths:

STORY: The Day of the Big Performance

STORY: The Day of the Big Performance

  • Mauri is your life spark — it’s what makes you feel alive, like your battery inside.
  • Wairua is your spirit — the part of you that feels everything, even stuff you can’t see.
  • Taha Wairua is your spirit’s wellbeing — how your wairua is holding up.
  • Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi are the energies from the stars, planets, galaxies and spiritual realms — kind of like the radio waves or sunlight we can’t see, but we feel them.


What Does Science Say That’s Similar?

Now, scientists are discovering that the whole universe is made of energy, even our bodies, thoughts, and light. Everything is vibrating, even if we can’t see it.


They’ve found three big things:


1. Everything is connected.

When two tiny things (called particles) are linked, they can still instantly affect each other, even from far away. That’s called quantum entanglement.


"That’s kind of like how we say 'your wairua knew' when someone close to you was in trouble and you felt it, even though they were far away."


2. Your thoughts and energy change things.

Science found that when you look at something, you change it — just by watching!

They call it the observer effect.


"That’s like how our tūpuna knew that whakawaatea or intention could change the outcome. Your mauri matters. Your wairua knows."


3. The universe sends us energy all the time.

Scientists know that stars, planets, and even space send out invisible energies, magnetic fields, solar flares, and moon pulls (like tides).


"In te ao Māori, we know those as Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi, the higher frequencies from the upper realms. They’re part of our whakapapa and they help rebalance us when we feel off."


A Story to Tie It All Together:

Imagine you’re standing outside at night. You look up at the stars.

You feel calm, even if your day was messy.


That peaceful feeling?

That’s your wairua reconnecting.

That moment of peace? That’s your taha wairua getting a little recharge.

That steady energy in your chest, like you’re okay now? That’s your mauri coming back into balance.

And the starlight, the moonlight, that invisible hum in the air?

That’s Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi, the universe’s way of saying, “I see you. I’ve got you.”


So What’s the Point?

Science is just starting to understand what our tūpuna already knew.


  • Energy is real.
  • You are connected to the world around you — and beyond.
  • Your inner world (wairua + mauri) matters.
  • And the universe is sending you help, if you take time to tune in.


Māori didn’t need a telescope to know the stars helped us.

We just never forgot how to listen.

STORY: The Day of the Big Performance

STORY: The Day of the Big Performance

STORY: The Day of the Big Performance

 It’s the regional kapa haka competition.
Your team’s been practicing for months.
Your piupiu’s ready. Your whānau’s coming. The nerves are real.


Before You Go On Stage…

Your stomach is turning.
Your hands are a bit sweaty.
You keep breathing heavily.

But deep down, there’s something else happening too.


That fluttery feeling in your puku? That’s your mauri, your life force, getting ready to show up big.

But… something still feels off.
You’re not fully there. You feel scattered, not focused.


That’s your taha wairua tapping you on the shoulder.
It’s saying, “Hey, I need a minute. Let’s get steady.”

So you step aside.
You close your eyes.
You breathe calmly.
You remember your tūpuna.
You think of your nan who taught you your first waiata.
And just like that, your feet feel firmer on the ground.


Then You Step On Stage…

As soon as the karanga sounds, it hits you.
That wairua, your spirit opens up wide.
You feel bigger than your own body. Like something old and strong is standing with you.

Your voice doesn’t shake anymore.
Your actions are sharp.
The crowd disappears.

You’re in the zone, connected to something way deeper than practice.
Connected to your group. Your ancestors. The whenua.


What You Didn’t See…

Above you, around you, flowing through the air
Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi are present.

The vibrations from the stars.
The pull of the moon.
The cosmic heartbeat of the universe that your tīpuna always knew how to work with.

Those upper-realm energies? They felt your intention.
And they showed up to hold the space.


And When You Finish…

You come off stage buzzing, but calm.
You feel strong, but light.
You’re smiling without trying.


Your mauri is humming.
Your wairua is glowing.
Your taha wairua got what it needed.
And Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi helped tune the whole thing up.


It wasn’t just your performance that mattered.
It was how you showed up — full of life, full of mauri, fully connected.
That’s the part science is only just starting to catch up with.

Exploring the Intersections of Quantum Physics and Māori Co

 Exploring the Intersections of Quantum Physics and Māori Concepts: Mauri, Wairua, Taha Wairua, and Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi


1. Scientific Perspectives on Energy, Consciousness, and Interconnectedness

Modern science, particularly quantum physics, reveals a universe rich with energy, interconnectedness, and phenomena that challenge classical understanding.


Quantum Entanglement and Non-Locality:
Quantum entanglement demonstrates that particles can become linked so that the state of one instantly influences the state of another, regardless of distance. This phenomenon suggests a deep interconnectedness within the universe, resonating with Indigenous perspectives of a unified existence .

Wave-Particle Duality and Observer Effect:
Particles exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, and their behaviour can change based on observation. This challenges the notion of an objective reality and aligns with Indigenous views that consciousness and observation play a role in shaping reality.

Holomovement and Undivided Wholeness:
Physicist David Bohm's concept of the holomovement proposes that the universe is an undivided whole in constant flux. This idea mirrors Indigenous beliefs in a dynamic, interconnected cosmos .


2. Aligning Māori Concepts with Quantum Science

Mauri (Life Force):
In Māori belief, mauri is the vital essence present in all things. Quantum physics’ recognition of energy as the fundamental component of matter parallels the concept of mauri as the energy that animates existence.

Wairua (Spirit):
Wairua represents the spiritual essence and consciousness. The observer effect in quantum mechanics, where observation influences outcomes, suggests that consciousness is integral to the fabric of reality, aligning with the Māori understanding of wairua.

Taha Wairua (Spiritual Wellbeing):
Taha wairua pertains to the spiritual aspect of health. Quantum physics's emphasis on interconnectedness supports the idea that spiritual well-being is intertwined with the broader energy fields of the universe.

Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi (Celestial Energies):
Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi refers to the energies from celestial bodies and realms. The concept resonates with the scientific understanding that cosmic phenomena, like solar flares and lunar cycles, have tangible effects on Earth's energy systems.

 3. Narrative Bridging Science and Māori Wisdom


Imagine standing on a beach at dawn, feeling the first rays of sunlight touch your skin. The warmth you feel is not just from the sun's heat but also its energy interacting with your body's own energy field.


In Māori tradition, this interaction is a dance between your mauri and the Ngā Toi o Ngā Rangi—the celestial energies. Your wairua senses this connection, bringing a sense of peace and alignment. Your taha wairua is nurtured, contributing to your overall wellbeing. Quantum physics tells us that everything is energy, constantly interacting and influencing each other. 


The sun's photons energise particles in your body, affecting your physical and emotional states. This scientific explanation mirrors the Māori understanding of interconnected energies and the importance of harmony between them.


Thus, both perspectives, though from different origins, converge on the idea that we are part of a vast, interconnected web of energy. Recognising and honouring this connection can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the universe.
