Review by Angela Hutchinson
When Garnette Arledge met Kahuna Harry Uhane Jim, this book was set in motion.
She knew the work would be born; however, she would have to ask 3 times if the
time was right…so she waited. We now are privileged to take a look into
Hawaiian culture and into the healing process of Lomilomi. In a world, such as
ours, it is time to bring forth the mystery and powerful traditions of Aloha.
Aloha means “the breath of God is in our presence”….”A blessing in the
declaration of being.” The kahunas of the past, servants of God, were put into
hiding because of the missionaries that were fearful of them, outlawing healers
in the 1870’s. Out of 300,000 islanders, only 60,000 survived. The power of
Lomilomi continues to be practiced due to the strength and belief of those that
came before.
Arledge writes, Lomilomi is “the
sacred shift within you that is inspired by the healing kahuna raising your
vibrations and all that is around you.” Kahuna Harry does not believe one
requires an intermediary, though sometimes our health issues and emotional
wounds are buried so deep, a Kahuna’s work in raising the receiver’s vibration
is effective and significantly relieves the receiver of much suffering.
Authors Harry and Garnette speak
in an interview form and many of the beliefs and customs of the Kahuna and
Lomilomi are revealed.
"The ancient ones believed that
all time is now, that we are each creators of our lifestyle and its
conditions".
"We created who we are and
everything that becomes a part of our lives".”
These beliefs are quite gentle in
spirit and speak to the wisdom of this esoteric culture.
Kahuna Harry goes on to speak
about the history and path of the ancient Lomilomi customs and Kahunas. They
believe that Lomilomi “empowers the God in you.” What a strong and exciting
belief!
There are 3 aspects to each person: Au’makua (the God self), Uhane (“a person’s
emotionally mature will), and Unihipli (the unconscious). This triune can work
for you. The authors describe each aspect and how they connect to help you
manifest healing.
The first technique of Lomilomi is Creating
Space where gratitude is directed to the receiver and commits the energy
of certainty to the abundance and perfection of (my) intuition because the
Kahuna is radiant in the Light of Aloha.”
Part Two of Wise Secrets of Aloha shares 3 Lomilomi techniques of healing:
-
The Ha Breath-
“In Lomilomi
treatments, it describes a deliberate process of breathing in through the
nose and out of the mouth deeply and completely, making the “ha” sound on
the exhale. This breathing is intended to enjoin the presence of the verb
of God to heal through emotional evolution.”
Laulima-
“Cooperation,
joint action, a group of people working together. Spiritually, many
hands coming together for healing, to raise the vibration.”
Bone Washing-
“the giver places his
or her fingers on the receiver’s body and, moving the fingers between the
muscles around the bones, directs energy to clear out the energy of the
remembered wounds.”
In part three, the authors share
the dynamics of living a life of abundance and living in the Aloha spirit.
Forgiveness frees wounds to be healed and gratitude must be present for
abundance to flow. At this point, Kahuna Harry shares how he came to face and
accept his life’s calling to follow his Kahuna ancestors to be a Lomilomi
healer.
He tells of his “dark night of the soul” experience, when his grandfather died.
His wounds were not healed completely and his peace was gone. This experience
with depression and ultimate recovery brought him to where he needed to be to
accept his life’s purpose of healing.
Wise Secrets of Aloha shares the stories of healing from others who were
receivers of Kahuna Harry and the Lomilomi treatment. They are believers in this
process and feel they are better for their sessions with Kahuna Harry Uhane
Jim. He realizes he is simply a conduit of healing and that the healing is
within you waiting to be found and unleashed.
Lomilomi is a wonderful treatment of healing; bringing the love and peace of
mind that is our natural state beyond the emotional wounds, into alignment.
Review by
Charlotte Berney
Wise Secrets of Aloha is a wonderful story of the ancient art of healing and the
modern day Kahuna who is helping others to raise their vibrations and to live
above and beyond the pain and into a state of gratitude.
In Wise Secrets of Aloha, Harry Uhane Jim, a
Kahuna of Lomilomi, Keeper of the Deep Mysteries, shares for the first time ever
in print, the healing secret of Lomilomi. He teaches the techniques that open us
to healing in body and spirit. Lomilomi is an esoteric healing tradition with
four basic techniques that Kahuna Harry reveals for the first time in this book.
He teaches us that physical healing is a small bit, that Lomilomi is emotional
evolution, a gift from Spirit to humanity, available to all of us.
"There will be no tests,"
Kahuna Harry Uhane Jim writes. "Nobody fails.
Therein is your growth."
"This is a lovely book that raises the vibration of the reader and imparts both
knowledge and wisdom about the traditional Hawaiian practice of Lomilomi, and
about Hawaiian thought and spirituality in general. It will appeal to all
seekers who look to the ancients for current-day techniques and inspiration to
realize goals of health and happiness."
Charlotte Berney, author of Fundamentals of
Hawaiian Mysticism
