MOA Hawaii

History

The Mokichi Okada Association of Hawai'i was established in April 2009 in Honolulu. MOA Hawai'i is a local chapter of MOA international, with offices on Oahu, Maui, and the Big Island of Hawaii. MOA Hawai'i has been fortunate to receive generous support from Toho No Hikari, the community and the ever-growing MOA Hawai'i 'ohana. Mokichi Okada (1882-1955) is the visionary whose lifestyle, passion, and teachings became the founding inspiration for the international organization that continues to perpetuate his philosophy today. Through years of research, practice, and outreach, Okada consummated personal philosophies of holistic living, synthesizing health, natural foods, arts and culture. Okada's foundation for holistic living continues to positively affect thousands of lives every day.

Okada Purifying Therapy or OPT: Purifying therapy is a healing method that channels and focuses spiritual bio-energy directly to the spiritual body to cure illness or pain. MOA believes that spiritual clouds and toxins are the cause of all sufferings that one experiences, which include illness. The MOA program that includes OPT is a means to reduce and eliminate the spiritual clouds and toxins through a purification process.
