Hawaii is a state of United States comprising an archipelago of the Hawaiian Islands in the central Pacific Ocean. The erstwhile known as the Sandwich Islands, the Hawaiian Islands became the U.S. territory in 1900. The Hawaiian Islands include eight major islands including Nihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lānai, Kahoolawe, Maui and the Island of Hawaii and many islets.
A British explorer, Captain James Cook, discovered the Hawaiian Islands and named them as 'the Sandwich Islands'. The Hawaiian Islands were united for the first time under a single ruler, King Kamehameha the Great. Hawaii became the 50th state of United States in 1959. The state of hawaii is also known as "the Aloha State". Aloha is acknowledgment that can be used as greeting. The state is the southernmost part of that country, situated 2500 miles from the mainland. HI is the abbreviation of Hawaii. Honolulu is the capital and the largest city of the state. Hawaiian and English are the official languages of the state. Tourism is one of the cornerstones of Hawaiian economy. The tourism is the largest industry in Hawaii. Hawaii is sometimes called "the paradise of the Pacific" because of its exquisite beauty including abundant sunshine, lush green plants & gay flowers, palm-fringed, coral beaches with rolling white surf, and mesmerizing cloud-covered volcanic peaks rising to majestic heights. The hawaii vacations, hawaii cruises and hawaii vacation packages are the hottest tourism deals. The hawaii beach vacation, hawaii honeymoon vacation, romantic hawaii vacation, hawaii family vacation and hawaii golf vacation are the most coveted vacation.

Na Leo o Hawaii means "the Voice of Hawaii" - and Na Leo o Hawaii Community Television is a non-profit program that is open to anyone who lives on the Big Island. They have a video production class once a month that teaches you how to make videos, and once you complete two public service announcement videos for them, you're a certified producer and are able to borrow camera equipment for free as long as you submit at least one 15 minute video every three months. The class costs $100 and the first course is offered for free to see if you like it.
I'm hoping to help our community speak out about anything & everything and I have up to two hours on Cable Channel 53 (Oceanic Time Warner) to play with. I'm looking for interesting show ideas and/or people to help highlight the many things happening around our island. I'm also looking for a small production crew (extra camera-person, editor, etc.) to work with. Message me if you would like to be a part of the new team. I have my list of production ideas that I've been working on...but if you have one that you feel I can help with, please email or text me or leave a comment here on this post and I'll get back to you shortly. Aloha! Hawaii Vortex Field Guide Updates3/2/2015 Dear fellow Explorers, There has been some recent changes to the Hawaii Vortex Field Guide and I wanted to let you know exactly what changed. First, the cover now reads: Hawaii Vortex Field Guide "Island Vortex Series #1" instead of "A Self-Guided Island Adventure." It was time to emphasize the fact that this book is part of the Island Vortex Series that I am working on. All future book covers will also have this and show their respective number in the series. The Maui Vortex Field Guide is #2 in the series and coming out this Spring. Second, the retail price has been lowered. The price is now $14.95 for the black & white photo edition, and $24.95 for the full color edition (which is only available online here). Third, there is a new coupon in the book to replace the one from Big Island Ghost Tours. Now you'll be able to further enjoy your Hawaiian vortex experience with a free admission to Paleaku Gardens Peace Sanctuary, one of the vortexes featured in the book! Fourth, the Hawaii Vortex Field Guide is now in three bookstores across the Big Island. Kona Stories Book Store (KONA), Basically Books (HILO), Big Island Bookbuyers (HILO) and the Paleaku Gardens Peace Sanctuary (KONA) gift shop all now carry the book. Click here to see a map of, and directions to, each location. If you can't find any copies in the stores, you can always message me and I can bring one to you if you're in Kona at no extra charge. Oh...I just remembered...be sure to check out the new "#ZachPaks" I'm introducing that include some cool Hawaiiana in the form of CD, rare post cards and more. Happy Exploring! -Zach
(Updated March 19, 2015)
Aloha Fellow Explorers, Happy March 2015! It's truly been a wonderful year so far and I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all my supporters and fans worldwide. I promise you, there will be more talk of pyramids in Hawaii & 'paranormal paradise' in the months to follow. There's a lot going on! In the meantime, here's a new special combo pack I'm offering while supplies last, available only here on ZachRoyer.com, dubbed the "ZachPak." or #ZachPak. The combo pack consists of two new books (Hawaii Vortex Field Guide & Kona Haunted Hele Guidebook), one new CD (Stories and Legends of Old Hawaii), one new card (Artwork by Herb Kane) and one new silver chakra pendant with seven crystals embedded on it (enlarged below). I found the Herb Kane cards, and the CD's in a small mom & pop shop here on the Big Island that's no longer open, and I thought it would be the coolest thing to offer these wonderful pieces of Hawaiiana along with my books as a combo pack. I never thought it would have a catchy name...lol. The cards (I found eight different ones in all) feature a wonderful story about the front artwork on the backside of the card and they each include their own envelope. If you would like to see them all, please email me, otherwise I will include one at random. There were only two Stories and Legends of Old Hawaii CD's so there will only be two of the original ZachPaks available, for now. The next ZachPak, the ZachPak II, will offer an additional book (three total) instead of the CD. One more thing - I thought it would be cool to emphasize that our body's chakras are also energy vortexes, just like the ones I wrote about in the Hawaii Vortex Field Guide, so also included is a unique seven crystal (one for each chakra) pendant ready to put on any necklace. The 'ZachPak II' is now available!
I love the idea of offering a combo pack, so future versions of the #ZachPak will include additional books (as I write them) including the Maui, Oahu and Kauai Vortex Field Guides, crystals, pyramids, coupons and much more. Please leave your comments and suggestions below, I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Zach

Zach is an independent researcher, healer, author, explorer and director of Hawaii's premier anomalous research organization, Kahuna Research Group, where he has spent the last five years at the forefront of exploring Hawaii's secrets & mysteries, and also making medicines with the plethora of Hawaiian herbs. His work has been featured on the Travel Channel, in the Journal of Anomalous Sciences, as well as in numerous travel magazines and on many different websites over the last few years. On this episode he shares with Claire, Jason and Sandra the benefits of using herbal tinctures and how to make them yourself in just four simple steps. Step 1) Place your fresh/dried herb of choice inside a glass mason jar approximately 3/4 full. (Your herbs will compact once liquid is added so you may be able to add more) Step 2) Add alcohol to jar until almost full. Leave room to be able to shake. (Vodka is ideal for it's nearly odorless and extracts both alcohol and water soluble compounds.) Seal the jar with lid and store in a cool place. Step 3) Shake your jar(s) daily anywhere from two weeks to 6 months. Longer=Stronger. Step 4) After at least two weeks, you can bottle your extract and start using it. Using any kitchen strainer or new nylon stocking you can separate alcohol from herb at which point you are ready to bottle it. Bottles: I found the local co-op (Island Naturals on Hawaii Island) to have perfect 2oz. & 4oz. dropper bottles which you can see in the video. For more information please contact me, or comment below. Thanks for watching! On the next episode I will be taking a trip to a healing energy vortex that I wrote about in the book "Hawaii Vortex Field Guide" and talking about the healing aspects of these sacred sites.
