Comment by Barbara Helynn Heard on March 4, 2010 at 9:43am: Aloha lomilomi community,

The interviews of Puanani Burgess on this webpage brought tears to my eyes. She discusses the concepts and hawaiian values of kokua, ho'owaiwai, pono, work as medicine and the connection between working and eating - and more. she discusses how the hawaiian and English languages support different values.

I especially appreciate her presentation style. her voice and energy are both soft and strong all at the same time.

Comment by Gloria Coppola on February 18, 2010 at 2:29pm: Mahalo Makana, However amazon says it is still unavailable.

Comment by Makana Risser Chai on February 18, 2010 at 2:27pm: The classic book on Hawaiian spirituality is back in print! Tales from the Night Rainbow is the true story of the kaula or prophetess from Molokai, Makaweliweli, told in the authentic voice of the last of her students, Kaili‘ohe Kame‘ekua. It is about ancient Hawaiian spirituality, before kapu. It is about the true mystical, magical time and place where love ruled and men lived as brothers. It includes the classic story of the bowl of light. “Every child born has at birth, a Bowl of perfect Light. If he tends his Light, it will grow in strength and he can do all things … If, however, he becomes envious or jealous he drops a stone into his bowl of Light, and a little of the Light will go out.… If at any time he tires of being a stone, all he needs to do is huli [turn] the bowl and the stones will all fall away, and the Light will come back and grow once more.” Covers omen readers, seers and prophets, 'ohana or family, and the kahuna system. Though not a lomilomi book, it is essential for anyone interested in lomilomi. This is the foundational book for understanding Hawaiian spirituality. More important, it gives us a glimpse into how to live our own lives in balance. You can find it on amazon.com. Enjoy!

Comment by Gloria Coppola on February 5, 2010 at 10:15pm: Barbara,
Thank you for sharing your insights and feelings. Karen and I have both connected recently and are being guided similarly. We have both experienced much of what you describe as well in your post.

I am also being led to the elders and this year I am so excited to have two kumu's joining my training/retreat on Kauai. Coincidentally, Karen and I will be there the same exact week and intend on doing something very special together.

I am excited to have found a colleague that I can share this beautiful healing art, to learn and grow together and expand Ohana.

Some of your "westerners" have not been welcoming and like you say somewhat exclusive. I did not feel in my heart that was the way.

I lived on Kauai for 7 years. Altho, I originally trained under the lineage of Kahu Abraham I have come to learn many other styles and have deep and great respect for the tradition.

Lomi beats to the Rhythm of the Heart for me and I open to the wisdom of the elders who are calling me.

Thank you/Mahalo again for sharing your story. Much gratitude and blessings to you on this path.

Comment by Barbara Helynn Heard on February 5, 2010 at 10:11pm: Aloha Gloria, Is this a list specifically for lomi classes or all massage CE classes? what is the name of the list? mahalo, Barbara Helynn

Comment by Gloria Coppola on February 5, 2010 at 10:06pm: Makana - There is already a group started to list our continuing education classes

Comment by Makana Risser Chai on February 2, 2010 at 12:58pm: I was wondering if it would be appropriate to start a new discussion group where we could post notices of our upcoming classes. Your thoughts?
