Hawaiian Shamanism  A Brief Synopsis:- Hawaiian shamans follow the path of the adventurer, focusing on love (aloha), cooperation, harmony (social) and the expansion of self. They also hold the belief that while you are healing others you are healing yourself and while you are transforming the planet you are transforming yourself. Energy release work for a Hawaiian shaman was most often based on Lomi Lomi/Kahuna bodywork
A shaman is a
healer of relationships
Traditionally Polynesian shamans trained in 7 areas
Ku – Heart/body mind Lono – Mind Kane (Aumukua) – spirit Lono generates a pattern deciding something is true, Ku memorize the pattern and Kane uses the pattern to manifest experience. Kane is constantly giving inspiration to improve the pattern because it's primary motivation is harmony. Your Ku is alive, aware and responsive, when you criticize yourself your Ku feels under attack and try's to defend itself by clenching muscles, which causes stress, inhibits awareness, memory and energy flow, making you susceptible to illness and accidents. Self appreciation does the opposite. When you criticize any part of the world around you your Ku does not distinguish between you and your dream, it takes it personally and gets tense. How Massage, be it any style, helps to release muscle tension through all the tissue layers, therefor releasing trapped emotions and trauma, large and small. Often after a Hawaiian massage, especially when it involves deep tissue or trigger point therapy you may feel emotional releases as your body starts to let go and your energy starts to flow freely once more.
