The only book on Lomilomi (Lomi Lomi) from hawaiian sources
Hawaiian Lomilomi, Big Island Massage, by Nancy S. Kahalewai

This book is currently the only book about Lomilomi (Lomi Lomi) based on Hawaiian sources. Lomilomi is one of the methods the traditional Hawaiian healers use for restoring health. What makes this book especially valuable is that the author acts as mediator between Hawaiian tradition and modern bodywork.

The reader gets a chance to understand how this bodywork is a part of the sacred Hawaiian healing arts and not just a massage which tries to deal with muscle tension from the outside. The author includes chapters on Hawaiian herbal medicine and on the role the Kahunas (experts / priests of healing arts) still play in Hawai'i.

Healing is very closely connected with life and Nancy Kahalewai helps understand the most important Hawaiian concepts of life. Understanding the love and respect, the Aloha Spirit, which is such a wonderful experience when visiting the Hawaiian islands, and how Ho'oponopono (right thought / forgiveness) has been part of daily life in the Hawaiian nation enables us to understand how it must be to receive a lomilomi massage.

Important for masseurs are the chapters on strokes and techniques give some insight on how Aloha Spirit translates into massage movements and the "hands on" chapter gives a good idea of a basic routine, opening up to the great variation of massage techniques and routines used in Hawai'i. Of course it is advisable to learn the art of Hawaiian healing from a qualified teacher.

The author's great respect towards the Hawaiian people and their rich culture makes it possible to include modern medical information, which is so important for modern massage therapists and clients in a world full of regulations.

However, I personally rate what is in "additions" of the physiology chapter as the greatest value of Lomilomi: clients come back because they feel totally nurtured and supported. After the two hours massage many express that they feel like being born again.

This bodywork enables clients to regain their Self as an entity of body, mind and spirit, giving them strength and the focus to act from within in this crazy world. I hope this book will reach many massage therapists and theat they will learn to touch people the Hawaiian way and spread unconditional love and respect all over the world.

Christian Herold, Lomilomi practitioner, Zurich, Switzerland


Finally! A book on lomilomi massage!
This book is ideal for the professional therapist or for anyone desiring to learn more about loving touch and the spiritual ideas of the Hawaiian culture. Merging therapeutic touch with the essence of Hawaii, reading this book can bring the feeling of aloha into anyone's world, wherever you are. I highly recommend this book for both its practical application value as well as its fascinating look at the kupuna (respected elders) who practice lomilomi and traditional Hawaiian healing.

Book Description
Much of the recent literature on healing and the body-mind connection focuses on the shaman as healer, but few authors come to the subject with the depth of personal experience and academic knowledge of Dr. Serge Kahili King.

“I witnessed rituals that caused both illness and healing, I learned how zombies were created, I was taken to ‘energy springs’ and ‘healing waters,’ I participated in rituals and experiences that radically transformed my views of reality and possibility.”

Instant Healing draws upon King’s extraordinary experiences, extensive research, and knowledge of medical science to bring together a synthesis of techniques as diverse as African curing songs, clinical hypnotherapy, a system of bodywork called Kahi Loa, creative visualizations, modern affirmations, ancient rituals, and dozens of other practices.

“Some of the results may seem miraculous in view of current ideas about health and illness, but I am not writing about miracles. This book is about practical ideas and techniques that work.”

Instant Healing is organized around four modalities: healing with the power of words, healing with the power of the imagination, healing with the power of touch, and healing with the power of energy. Written in a style that is engaging, jargon-free, and accessible, Instant Healing teaches methods to heal allergies, anxiety, backache, burns, depression, eyestrain, headaches, infection, broken bones, cuts, and bruises.

"This is about drug-free instant healing, which I define as significant or even complete healing results—including broken bones—in less than an hour. The methods you will learn have been used successfully by myself, my family, and by thousands of people whom I have taught." from Instant Healing.

Other keywords: paralysis, healing technique, NLP Time-Line technique, paralyzed, medical symptoms, pain experience, physical injuries, radical recall process, injuring event, injury cause, remove physical damage, scars, fantasy, visual cortex, Hawaiian traditions of healing.


Reader Review
Yes! Instant Healing that really works, October 2, 2003
Reviewer: vernon c dyer jr (LISBON FALLS, Maine United States) - See my reviews at Amazon.com
Hi Everyone:
The book is by Serge Kahili King, Ph.D. called " Instant Healing" who happens to be a Hawaiian Shaman as well. He has a retreat in Hawaii and practices a form of healing called Kahuna Healing. Perhaps you have had read his work. I had not until I read this one. I work with various forms of magick. However this one works well.
This is a powerful book on drug free treatment of pain and help on healing fast from other ailments. I have anxiety problems my self, which I have treated in the past with mediation. I have got to tell you that his treatment seems to have worked for me a lot faster and gave me a way to channel future anxiety in a positive and effective way. He covers numerous problems such as depression, eyestrain, and hangovers with a number of ways for each particular problem. What I liked about the book is the fact you can try his ideas right a way, since they deal with issues so close to most of us- right away.

The book is written in a real simple English with in-depth details on how to work his shaman magick immediately, and would work in well with a lot of paths of many people I know. It did work for me. I have also tried and succeeded with his healing theories on other people beside myself already with great results. I would hope everyone on this list would take the time out to get a copy of this. It is a worthwhile read.
Bright Blessings
Vernon
