Kindness: Random Acts of Kindness

Taha Wairua-spiritual wellbeing- is a part of our whare tapa wha which is our wellbeing. The four dimensions; mental, physical, spiritual and social well being. All of the four dimensions are important as one another; the spiritual well being, however, is what we would be focusing on at this moment. What is spiritual well being? Taha Wairua, in my opinion, is the hardest to explain in the four; but, knowing now and being able to understand what it means as I do now, it became less challenging to explain. In this case, we are specifically talking about kindness, acts of kindness-being kind-, in general, is important, why so? Kindness helps us to communicate, to mingle with people; to be able to understand each other, to empathize with whom we interact with. Not only that but it helps us to bind relationships together, build, and create new connections with one another.

We were tasked with performing a random act of kindness for this session of "Health Hurumanu", I wrote to my grandmas who are way back in the Philippines and told them how much I appreciate and value the time that I was with them.

That is, for me, what I feel what Taha Wairua is, and how much we need to value it, much like kindness.
