Hawai'ian Temple Bodywork

(Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola)

ABOUT THE RETREAT:

Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola is the original form of Shamanic Ritual Bodywork taught by the great Kahuna Abraham Kawai’i to Dharma Bodhi in the 1980’s. This original sacred Lomi-Lomi bears no resemblance in variety of techniques or spiritual power to the much diluted and commercialized “Lomi-Lomi” massages offered at high end spas, or new age Lomi-Lomi workshops.

This is a video of Dharma Bodhi’s teacher, Hawai’ian Kahuna, Abraham Kawai`i, describing the Kahuna principle of Family. It also includes a demonstration of his Temple Bodywork.

Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola is not merely a massage, but a sacred gift to humanity, a profound technology of healing honed to perfection over thousands of years by the shamans of Polynesia. Originally conceived as a ritual for the royalty of Hawai’i (Ali’i) conferring sacred revelation and transformation, the ritual is embedded within a highly stylized type of sacred bodywork.

During a session of Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola, which can last for hours, the practitioner generates a high energy environment through the use of specific breath patterns, dance movements, drumming, music, massage “runs”, “lifts”, prayers, offerings, heightened awareness...and through this process the healer transcends the limited self to become a conduit for the unlimited healing power of Universal Love and Compassion (Aloha) and the blessing power of the recipient’s ancestors (Aumakua).

After completing the 10-day retreat you will immediately be able to practice Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola in a professional manner to share the amazing physical, emotional and spiritual healing accessed through this method. This is the first training offered in the Body of Light Healing Program. Dharma Bodhi wanted to give the new trainee healers a way to ground your spiritual healing training in your body, and to give you an opportunity to earn a very good wage while practicing and refining your healing arts. This would then enable you to support yourself financially if you wished to continue to study in the Body of Light Healing Program.

**Every Lomi session has four benefits:**

Delivers powerful healing to your client & their ancestral lines
Gives you the opportunity to further refine your Lomi skills
Creates an income for you that refines your spirit instead of sells your soul
And is a very powerful form of spiritual practice

The Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola retreat is part of Phase 1 of the Body of Light Healing program. Phase 1 focuses on teaching select Shamanic Healing Systems.

Each day of the retreat you will practice the healing bodywork of Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola embedded within the supportive practices of Hawai’ian Chanting (Oli), Prayer (Pule), Dance (Hula Kahiko), Energy Meditations, Awareness Meditations, Breath Practices, and Shamanic Movement exercises (based on sacred Polynesian animals such as the frigatebird or ’Iwa and the mythological dragon or kuamo’o).

By the end of the retreat your body will feel 10 – 20 years younger from receiving hours of massage each day, your mind will be more relaxed, and your heart will be full of sacred feeling. You will be able to embark on a new career as a professional healer using Lomi Ha’a Mauli Ola as your main mode or as an addition to your pre-existing practice as a healer.
