Inhaltsangabe

Harry Uhane Jim is one of the last Kahuna of Lomilomi, Keeper of the Deep Mysteries of authentic Hawaiian esoterica. He shares the secrets of this ancient oral tradition with readers for the first time in Wise Secrets of Aloha.

Recognizing that the world is in great peril, Kahuna Harry was blessed by the Halau Guardians who instructed him to share the true teachings and tools of Lomilomi for the practice of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. He writes: "Now is the time to share aloha with humanity. `Aloha' means the Breath of God is in our Presence. It is time to reveal the profound Lomilomi secrets of the kahunas for personal and planetary peace."

Wise Secrets of Aloha is as simple as it is profound, as contemporary as it is ancient. It is true to Hawaiian esoteric teachings and available to all who bring the right attitude. Aloha calls. Listen in the the splash of waves, in the breeze-the air is filled with aloha. All the abundance, joy, and freedom from old wounds readers have ever yearned for can be found by adopting the aloha spirit.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kahuna Harry Uhane Jim was born on Kauai fortyeight years ago to parents on both sides of the mystery. From the age of eight, Harry was mentored and taught by a succession of authentic Hawaiian Elders, the Kupuna and Kahuna. Trained in surfing, kayaking, and skin diving as spiritual, emotional, and physical routes to the Paa or the Transcendent Now, he went on to give healing treatments in Temple Lomilomi.

Beloved author Garnette Arledge had an intuitive flash when she fist met Kahuna Harry that she would work with him on a book. She had to ask him three times before the Halau Guardians said the time was right. She resides in Woodstock, NY.

The Esoteric Aloha Spirit

A Ke Akua! By your power and agreement, I declare: Open the Port.

—ancient Hawaiian invocation

Welcome to Hawaii, where every leaf, every rock, every person, every waterfall,the waves, the ocean, the beach, the scented trade winds, and all life is amanifestation of divine energy and brimming with Aloha for you.

In this place, this space, the reigning idea is that, as God sees us, no one isabove the other. So humans see God in every form, and in no form there is notGod's presence. Hawaii's secret of paradise is Aloha: "the breath of God is inour presence."

Aloha, the beloved greeting for hello and good-bye known the world over, is amany-leveled, truly multisplendored healing sound all by itself. There is in allcreation, in Aloha, a bigger, wider, more substantive presence of spiritualitythan we can, at the surface, see or know.

So say Aloha now to yourself. Savor Aloha, the traditional greeting. Generosityoffers you a scented white-ginger lei. You are the welcomed guest. Alohaoverflows with hospitality, flashes abundance, and offers beauty to all.

Thus, each person honored with Aloha feels loved, feels welcomed, feels beauty,feels warmth, and therefore feels joy. Emotions swim with delight; healingoccurs. The separation of strangers is replaced with the natural warmth of beingloved, being supported. When the plane touches down in Honolulu, the traditionis that beauties rush forward gracefully, singing Aloha, and placing leis aroundthe necks of newcomers.

More spirituality is going on here than is apparent to the physical eyes. ThisAloha welcoming ritual is designed to raise the vibration of the travel-wearynewcomer to these islands that are the most remote from any of the continents onEarth. Aloha calls forth, soul to soul, the spirit of generosity andhospitality. In knowingly greeting newcomers with Aloha, invoking the presenceof God within, automatically, the vibrations of the travel-weary visitor areraised, thus benefiting all. Harry calls this process vivification—revving upthe energy, raising good spiritual feelings. Is this a working definition ofHawaiian theology? Yes, partially, according to the Halau Uhane LomilomiLapa'au, Harry and Sila's esoteric school for creating knowledge of the spiritof healing-touch medicine.

Harry says healing is the inalienable inheritance of each human. Healingtransforms the person into an actual temple in which time, space, and willconverge. Each person is a temple. Then, knowing of such healing, each personcan say, "Lomilomi is a commitment to myself. My presence here is a sacredmanifestation from me to myself to shower gratitude, growth, and bliss to mywhole being. I focus to enter into and sustain my temple in the heart, thepu'u."

Swimming into the depths of knowledge requires healing of the cherished woundsand tantrums of the past, present, and future, all lurking within the body-mind-emotionalsystem of an individual.

You become the temple so that energy moves from the heart, and through the heartmoves the essence of your own light, your Uhane (see chapter two), your support,guide, and grace. You will begin each Lomilomi session with a receiver'sopportunity to commit to the experience by saying these words:

I commit the energy of certainty to the abundance and perfection of myintuition, as I am radiant in the light of Aloha.

Make this your own pledge.

So let us begin with the teaching. First: the symbol of Thundering Grace. (Seeillustration on page 7.)

This complex symbol pictures both God's grace and human's gratitude back to God.Not the God of our understanding, but to Hawaiian kahunas, God grander than ourability to hold in the mind. Light is another Hawaiian code word for God. Lightis defined as having a conscious connection to God. Light that feeds the human'scall for grace by sending Spirit, which regenerates and strengthens humans. Thatgrace is inalienable and freely given. That grace is the unmerited favor andlove of God. In turn, we feed the Light through gratitude, or the state of beinggrateful. The symbol pictures God's reaction to our call. This crosscurrent ofenergy generates grace receiving gratitude.

Time and Hawaiian Time

Here at the beginning, it is useful to acknowledge the Hawaiian way of knowingtime, which is so far across the sea from clock time. Hawaiian time, in theHalau, is vertical. Wherever you are, be it O'ahu, Minneapolis, or Toronto,living in the Aloha Spirit is living in vertical time. Having a Lomilomitreatment seems on the surface like a spa vacation for an hour. Yet people longto savor and continue the freedom and pleasure of their vacations or massageeven in the midst of the workaday world. Living in an awareness of the realityof vertical time can fulfill that longing.

What is vertical time? Vertical time means no deadlines, no fixed schedules.Vertical time means freedom, kindness, unity, humility, patience, alertness.Vertical time we all share with God. Healing may be outside our comfort zone orboundaries. If so, a part of those boundaries are linear time. If healing wereinside our comfort zone, we would already be healed. Thinking that a trip to theislands is a vacation to a destination is linear time. Believing that a trip tothe islands is an inner journey to wholeness is vertical time.

Harry: The ancient ones believed that all time is now, that we are each creatorsof our lifestyle and its conditions. We created who we are and everything thatbecomes a part of our lives. Any situation we might find ourselves in is broughtabout by us in learning the many pathways of life. Our situations are not theresults of a judgment of our actions. But who we become is caused by ourthoughts and choices.

To Hawaiians, linear time is the dream of commonality that all minds share. TheHalau Uhane Lomilomi Lapa'au is the journey of conscious partnership between youand your emotional body. It is the expression of the Hawaiians' premise andperception of the world around them—that we are in linear and vertical time.

We all live in the linear time. It is the watch on your arm determining yourschedule. Vertical time, on the other hand, is that connection with the HigherSelf. The Hawaiian knows, and we want you to know, how to emotionally invest inSpirit: the Au'makua, the infinite mind of you, the light of the presence of Godin you. (This will be explored further in chapter two.)

Garnette: The Greeks called timelessness "no-time" or Kairos. Clock time isKronos, chronological time. Working nine to five is linear time, then. Verticaltime...
