Aloha,
I send winter greetings as we approach the shortest day of the year.
Together let's celebrate the possibility of living together on earth in
love and in peace. This is indeed a special time of year.
PRAYER OF
PASSAGE ~ IT'S OK
With many others, I have been both horrified and somehow mesmerized by
the massacre in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. I posted
this message on Facebook in response to the tragedy.
“During
the first 3 days after someone dies, those of us left behind can
support their transition by visualizing their easy, smooth crossing.
This is especially important for souls of people who die unexpectedly,
with little or no advanced warning. You might call this praying. Time
for settling into grief starts after we do our job of helping the souls
cross. I learned this practice from Mana Lomi® founder Maka'ala Yates.”
Mana Lomi® student Terri Rogers replied to my post,
“My heart hurts for these people and their loved ones.
I'll be visualizing Jesus holding out his hands to them and hugging
each one as they enter His kingdom.”
I love hearing the various words and imagery different people use to
pray! Here is my own vision of supporting the passage.
I see the 20 young children and the 8 adults (yes,
including the shooter) walking over a rainbow. When they look over
their shoulder back to earth they sometimes see their families weeping
in agonizing despair and this makes them falter. Then I reach up and
gently take their hand as I would take the hand of a child walking
along the top of a stone wall and I reassure them, “It’s OK. Keep
going. Keep walking. Your family will be OK.”
“It’s OK” is a powerful phrase. For starters, remember that “it’s
OK” is very different than “it’s good”.
When I say “it’s OK” in a sense I give permission for whatever terrible
thing has happened to have happened. In giving permission I stop
fighting the existence of that terrible event. When I stop fighting its
existence I begin to breathe more easily.
Saying, or simply thinking, “it’s OK” helps me to
accept that my life has changed, perhaps very quickly, unexpectedly,
and profoundly. With acceptance I can begin to adapt and open to
creating new and effective responses in order to lift myself and those
around me so that we can move on together. This is good.
Saying "it's OK" has helped me keep my heart open
in response to the recent school massacre. I know that I can use the "it's
OK" tool whenever my life changes unexpectedly and I need
help staying grounded and keeping my heart open.

MANA LOMI®
TEACHER
BARBARA HELYNN HEARD, LMP
WA massage license # MA 00009734
I love teaching Mana Lomi®. In my teaching I emphasize body awareness,
use of one's weight, development of keen palpation skills and the use
of the creative power of the words. My intent as a teacher is to see
the Light in each person and to help each student to be and to do their
very best.
Lomilomi has been a primary focus of my life since 1996 when I
graduated from Brian Utting School of Massage and established my active
private practice in Seattle, WA. I've taught lomilomi since 2006.
ABOUT MANA
LOMI®
Mana Lomi® is a style of lomilomi developed by Native Hawaiian Maka'ala
Yates, D.C.- pictured here - drawing on his 16 year apprenticeship with
beloved and well known teacher Aunty Margaret Machado, and his other
teachers. This Big Island Style Lomi lineage is very therapeutic,
specific work which addresses and helps resolve injury.
Mana Lomi is
structural lomi incorporating concepts of Hawaiian spirituality,
meditation techniques, and indigenous value. Mana Lomi® is deep yet
gentle bodywork which pays special attention to bones and which gives
immediate & long-term pain relief. Resolve problems with
clinically focused, spiritually grounded Hawaiian healing bodywork.
Mana Lomi® is approved by NCBTMB as provider #287333-00.
