I am so sorry to have to say that our beloved Auntie Margaret Machado went home to her Lord this morning. Aloha e, aloha e, aloha e.

Aloha Everyone. I'm relatively new to this network and so happy to see the quality of information and sharing. Lomilomi has been a journey of passion and miracles for me. For some time I’ve sensed the coming expansion of new yet old, knowledge, not knowing when or how; have been in and out of pono with new teachings vs. old teachings, spiritual ‘leaders’ and gurus, what ‘should’ be done and what innately happens. Constantly, I’d receive nuggets of information about Lomilomi, the nature of what it is and what isn’t. So one late night when that tall orange feather clad warrior appeared at the foot of my bed, I knew it was time to gather the info and get into motion.

We're presenting this spring, Return To Source: LomiLomi Training & Healing Retreat in Kauai, March 18-28 , Exploring the Roots and Truths of Lomilomi Temple Style.

What we’re doing is similar to what Terry Shintani did a few years back…restoring integrity and authenticity. We’re hoping to provide a deeper experience and education for lomi practitioners other than what is typically presented on the mainland. Joining us with similar vision is Harry Uhane Jim, Dane Silva, Gloria Coppola, Sandra Michael, Phil Young, Morag Campbell, just to name a few.

Some of you already know this…much western Lomilomi is dressed with bells and whistles and has evolved (or devolved) into a marketing advantage for spas, after hours massage, a way to accumulate those needed CEUs, and a new age interpretative style blending everything from under the Sun and beyond Pluto! Still profound, yet drifting from pono and Source.

Our goal is to present evolving and traditional Hawaiian healing systems so that we can offer the world the best of both old and new concepts with understanding and mastery. Our goal is to help everyone understand the cause and effect of true healing through Hawaiian values and healing concepts.

Thank you Nancy Kahalewai for your inspiration and insights in your revision "Hawaiian Lomilomi Big Island Massage."

Hope you can join us! More info:

Mahalo Gloria, for quoting my book, Hawaiian Massage Lomilomi: Sacred Touch of Aloha, in your article! I especially love Allen Alapa'i's quote, "Life is a feeling, not a thinking." Allen always reminds us to look for the baby boy, baby girl, inside each person. At this time of year when many of us celebrate a sacred birth, it is good to be reminded of the baby within each of us.

Wise Secrets of Aloha - Kahuna Harry Uhane.

The International Journal of Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork: Research, Education, & Practice just reviewed the book, Massage Modalities. Budiman Minasny, PhD. of The University of Sydney, Australia wrote, "The chapter on Lomi Lomi is great." Kumu Dane Silva and I took some heat because some people felt it wasn't "mystical" enough. It's nice to be recognized for what it is - a therapeutic modality with ancient roots. The full review is here.

It is almost always Sunny year round. The temperatures should be in upper 70's or low 80's.

Aloha Everyone - If anyone is looking for lomi lomi training and/or just a great Hawaiian experience, take a look at the Aloha festival in Tempe, AZ in March. On March 9th - 12th, Sacred Lomi with Tom Cochran will be providing a 32 hour class on lomi lomi. Then on March 13th and 14th is the Arizona Aloha Festival. Last year 150,000 people attended it. I have a spa in the area so let me know if you are coming and need any info on the area, events, etc. Read more about the training and festival in this article.

I wanted to share a video I made from a recent Lomi training hosted by our colleague Ryan from Massage Nerd in Minnesota.
Hope you enjoy!
