To meet the opportunities presented to us by quickened change, we will want to rely on certain spiritual strengths within us all. As a civilization, we have recently moved through the Agricultural, Industrial, and now our maturing Information Age. We are in the midst of a changing world, preparing for an emerging new world…paradigms are shifting as we are now in transition. Ultimately, Kauai’s greatest contribution of service is to become a community model, that moves between the Information Age while catalyzing the emerging Age of Consciousness, experienced and expressed, as the Human Conscious Evolution. By living it Now, our lives and our children’s will be dramatically changed. Hildy Gottlieb, President of the Community-Driven Institute, in her groundbreaking work “The Pollyanna Principles” focuses on the nonprofit community actualizing its highest potential to co-create the future of our world. One of her principles states, “Each and every one of us is creating the future, every day, whether we do so consciously or not...” through our thoughts, words and actions. Before we consciously create the future, however, we must learn to depend on our internal compass - our ‘true north’, na`au, intuition and small still voice of Truth within. We are to listen to our internal guidance, trust our hearts and take action on this awareness. Now, with intention, and joy we become Stewards of Service, as we all live Aloha in Action. When we choose with commitment to focus that God-given potential and energy in the same direction as a community of people, we are powerful beyond measure. As the Mayor says, “Together We Can.” We become a beacon of light, living demonstration and global model of how to live differently in our world, in the Spirit of Aloha. Ho`omoe wai kahi ke kao`o Let us travel like water in one direction Olelo No`eau Kaua`i presents an extraordinary opportunity for a community of people to be and live their Purpose and co-create their Visions. People balancing the needs of self and society in the bosom of our island’s natural beauty and abundance are a glimpse into the future of our planet. We then become a point of stability and a model for the world-at-large, molding a more self-sustaining habitat and living our full potential…remembering, minds need models. What if, NOW, is a unique GIFT for all of us? In the chaos that naturally comes with change we will make one of two choices in how we respond: Fear or Faith. Under stress, anxiety and bewilderment, we go on automatic pilot reflecting a Fear-based scarcity reality, throwing us back to our old patterns, belief systems and conditioning once created for survival. “If we do what we’ve always done, we’ll get what we’ve always gotten.” Or, we can choose to take a Faith and Love-based approach and move forward as one. The latter choice allows for full engagement, positive manifestations and affirmations of our journey together. 6 w w w. h a w a i i s i n s p i r a t i o n . c o m Fear-based structures are shattering. The old small picture is dying, and walls are crumbling. The emergence of the new bigger picture is coming to the screen now. Each of us holds the key to the co-creation for this emerging consciousness. Our courage, commitment and the willingness to see with ‘new eyes’ allow this change to occur organically. Community is ”Comm ~ Unity,” the communication of Unity These ideas are offered as an invitation to initiate a creative dialogue and reflection on the possibility, indeed the probability, of realizing the Truth of the Emerging Consciousness. This is not a plan. It is an expression of conscious awareness, an exploration of a more expanded picture of reality in which to be and live. As Kauaians, we will choose to claim our heritage, responsibly take the lead and consciously commit to co-create our Destiny and Legacy. “Destiny is not a matter of chance it is a matter of choice” Exploring the Choice… “Why Kaua’i?” Who? You, me, us, all Kauaians and Beloved Kaua’i. Why? PURPOSE ~ GOD CALLS Kauai remembers and responds, individually and as community. What? VISION ~ “Co-creates Ultimate Aspirations Imbued with Divine Inspiration” Vision and Purpose are gifts of Spirit. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “I Have A Dream!” He did not say, “I have a plan.” Vision is a source of vitality, excitement, and passion. It brings clarity and power. It has the quality of magic. It turns the ‘ordinary’ into the ‘extraordinary.’ The inner eye of vision sees what is possible knowing “what,” without knowing “how.” Vision is held as if it has already been achieved. Individually, what each of us becomes in the process of achieving one’s vision is equally as important as the vision itself. Where? KAUA’I… our Garden Island of Aloha Kaua`i is the most ancient of the islands, never conquered, remote, located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean ~ “Ocean of Peace.” Our island is rural, agricultural, a micro-cosmism of our macro-cosmism world. We are a blend of indigenous people, along with our multicultural, multi-ethnic, a multi- religions, all contributing to our global connections. Kaua`i is strong, powerful, feminine, spiritual, and incredibly beautiful, some even say magical and mystical. When? Now KAUA’I ~ The Spirit Lives The Spirit living within us, the culture and the land embraces and guides our island, state and global communities; bringing in the deep feeling of Peace, Love and Unity. How? Be in Service to God • • • • • • • • • Breathe, deeply and consciously, Pray, Meditate and know Spirit is only a breath away Be in the silence of your highest wisdom and truth listening to the still small voice of God within Be in nature, Remember who you are…and that the new frontiers are internal ones Be, Live and Love yourself, others and all of Life in the Now Align mind, body and spirit with the Essence of Being that you are, and choose to have all actions be a reflection of that Truth Health, Wellness, and Well-Being are valued by all Embrace and honor your history, be at peace with it, knowing it was Divinely placed in the creation of who we are today…relax, allow more, be happy and follow your Heart Enjoy Living in Grace, gratitude and appreciation of your real life unfolding Know and Experience the Perfection and Divinity of all of Life… this includes You! “Whatever we can do, or dream, we can . . . begin it Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.” Goethe At this momentous time, we accept the truth that we have a Divine calling and responsibility to catalyze and manifest this consciousness into our existing reality. To actualize it. To bring it forth as… “A Community of Consciousness Co-Creating Heaven on Earth.” Each Kauaian Joyfully Knows I LIVE ALOHA. I AM KAUA`I SPIRIT. All are included!

Aligned with the Essence of our Being, “We are a Community of Consciousness Co-Creating Heaven on Earth.” Joining together we become a Beacon of Light, Living Demonstration and Global Model in the emerging Age of Consciousness. Ushering in…The Sacred New Reality by Birthing a New Civilization, Heralding in the Golden Age, and Co-Creating Heaven on Earth. We become Illumined Essences, experiencing and expressing the Infinite Sacred Divine Essence of Love. The Essence of DIVINE LOVE is ONENESS, in the stillness we join with all Consciousness, in all realms….with all that is. ~ excerpt from a prayer first uttered 2,000 years ago w w w. h a w a i i s i n s p i r a t i o n . c o m 7 Healing from Rigid ‘Perfection’ to Inner Peace by Ruey Ryburn Chaos is swirling around me. But I’m just fine in its midst. My hair is perfect; my clothes perfect. I will survive. I will hold it together. I don’t see, hear or know the darkness Existing around, below, within me. I am fine. Life is beautiful. Everyone admires how perfect my life is. I don’t see the toll this denial takes, Mental body on overdrive, Frozen inner core, outer rigid smile in fixed or masked perfection. Energy centers stuck and holding Until the façade begins to crumble Into sickness, divorce, lost job, and/or debtWhatever the drastic measures required To crack the rigidity within. I drop in terror into the emptiness, darkness, despair. Flailing, trying to find the old armor, to not avail. This crisis will not sweep under the carpet or go away Without my grounded, centered attention. So I breathe into the depths, Sit in the dark night, week, months of my soul, Dissolving the outer illusionary story, Belief in having to look perfect That kept me safe and blind before. What sits in these dark interior spaces, Awaiting my recognition? Slowly, painfully I breathe into the depths, Surrendering my will, my having to be/do it right Unto the altar of the Divine within. God, I don’t know anymore… I don’t know who I am, What I am to do, Where I am to be, Who I am to be with, Where or what my work is to be done. Slowly my spine twists, jerks, dissolves into the void. The emptiness, the black velvet cave of un-manifest. And slowly as I breathe in Father, Mother God, Light begins to fill the emptiness, grief, and pain That I’ve run from in this and so many other lifetimes. Held by Creator’s grace, I accept my imperfect, just as I am. I stop, breathe, feel, and fill, Sitting in the ocean of compassion, Melting my being into the All, Unity of the I Am. This poem written by Ruey Ryburn describes one pathway of healing learned at Sacred Path Healing School (www.sacredpathhealing.com). The school in its 10th year fosters deep inner process while developing spiritual energy healers in its 3 year program. Private appointments are also available as well as a monthly low cost clinic staffed by graduate apprentices. 8 w w w. h a w a i i s i n s p i r a t i o n . c o m Aloha and Happy 2012!

He is a best-selling author, a teacher, dancer, artist and architect. He worked with the Dalai Lama, Sammy Davis Jr, Bruce Lee, Joseph Campbell and Joan Baez. He has been described as a sage for the modern age and a master in the art of living and yet claims that he still hasn’t decided what to do when he grows up. “I am interested in everything,” he admits. “I’m a perpetual student of life. I don’t want to be a professional, always a beginner.” Huang is passionate about his work to bring together the teachings of the East and the West that can help us navigate our way as global citizens towards an uncertain future. “World wisdom is made up of the understandings that cross culture and religions,” he explains. “It’s those things that every wise and thoughtful person knows are the truth. It’s nothing to do with east or west, it’s about crystallizing the best of everything we know into a world cultural heritage and using it to live in harmony”. “We live in such a beautiful world and all of us in our hearts want to live in harmony and peace, not in conflict,” continues Huang. “I think all the thoughtful people in the world are looking for ways to honor each other. We have to be able to respect others cultural heritages and to know that in essence we’re all the same; we are all looking for ways of being that are more tolerant, wiser and knowledgeable. In China we don’t call things like Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism religions like we do in the West. We don’t become a Buddhist or Taoist to limit ourselves. We embrace the best from all of them as a life philosophy”. Huang grew up with traditional Chinese philosophy, spending his early years in the rural villages of China. His family fled after the Japanese invasion and later had to leave mainland China for Taiwan after the Communist Revolution. “The simple peasant life of China has some wonderful qualities,” he remembers. “I grew up learning Tai Ji, chanting Tang Dynasty poetry, Tao Te Ching and Confucian classics and being immersed in a deep appreciation of nature. Many children were not lucky enough to experience this at the time.” He arrived in America as a young man to study architecture. “I couldn’t wait to see the world,” he says. Soon after graduating he became interested in the performing arts and while teaching dance at the University of California, he realized the extent to which western students were drawn to eastern philosophy and practice. “I taught Tai Ji and meditation techniques to the dancers” he recalls. “At that time I 10 w w w. h a w a i i s i n s p i r a t i o n . c o m had no idea that what I learned as a child would be of so much interest to them.” During this time, a chance encounter with Alan Watts led to a life-long career teaching at the Esalen Institute. Here he collaborated with the likes of Joseph Campbell, Gregory Bateson, John Blofield and Huston Smith, and wrote widely acclaimed books on Tai Ji and Tao, including the best-selling Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain. “Westerners are doers - we invent, we create, we do,” he continues. “We’re good in science, technology and reasoning – look at all the things we’ve done - but we’re missing the ability to step back and be more reflective. We miss emotions, feelings, art and cultural riches. We need to come back to family relationships, emotional intelligence and learning from the earth. Asian countries have something to teach us about finding these things and bringing them into balance. In Asian teaching we believe you must begin with the individual. First you must cultivate yourself and then you learn how to relate to other human beings one to one: siblings, spouses, colleagues, bosses. If you have harmony yourself, you can expand out to your family, then community, then the world.” “In the West if we have a goal, we aim our bullet at the target, we go out to save the world. But in Asian philosophy the goal is inside. If you don’t work from inside-out you are an off-centered person trying to do good and making things worse. But if you are centered you will hit the target. Miracles happen when people get close to their centered place and their lives change. With Tai Ji I help people to find centre. Once we embrace the whole palette of ourselves including the things we don’t like and use them as tools, we can return to mountain and become grounded. Then, rather than always looking for the next mountain top, we just have to elevate our grounding.” “I love the western heritage that’s instilled in me” says Huang, “but I love the balance that comes from the East. I use the two to stretch myself and become integrated. If you want to be a whole person the best way is to open up to the opposite. Tai Ji is about how to integrate a pair of opposites - how to stretch yourself to the extremes. If you get pulled by dualistic forces you will be split, but if you can balance opposites into centralized integration you become whole.” Excerpts from an interview with Rachel Fleming, visit www. livingtao.org for more information on Master Chungliang Al Huang.

Fear-Free Healthy Living by the Fat Harry Rooting a Spiritual Life Expo Workshop Sat., Feb 11th 2pm Rita Harrison is the most non-German German I have ever met and she’s a lot older than she looks, she informs me. She’s witty, charming, with an easy smile and she listens hard to what you have to say, a somewhat forgotten art. I asked her what’s new in her Willow System and she said nothing but for the way she puts things together. She explained to me all about her pick n’ mix system, how it is made to fit the lifestyle of the person sitting in front of her and does not force that person to fit her system. We talked for a long time and it was mind blowing how many ideas were presented, from the reorganization and centering of the body, to regaining a safe place in your family system. It was also way too much to list in this article, but I’ll try to break it down for you. She must have a mind like a steel trap. I don’t know how old she really is, but she must have studied from day one, because she’s taken a multitude of tried and tested natural healing techniques and parts of the more accepted white coat (her words) medical modalities, stripped them down to see how they work and reassembled them into a widely based holistic treatment system that covers most, if not all, the bases. She’s taken the tradition of German engineering and applied it to good health and healthy living. So I asked, “What’s this fear-free healthy living bit all about?” With a radiant smile she told me that the first thing she noticed about a lot of healers, both main stream and alternative, was that they try to bind you to them by frightening the living daylight out of you: “You take this pill or food supplement, or you’ll die…” She pointed out that you can’t tell a skydiver that you won’t help him until he stops living dangerously; it’s what he’s good at, what he loves, and how he pays his bills. “We tend to judge people too much by our own fears and this helps nobody!” she said. Fear makes a person ill; freeing someone from fear can help them unfold into new health. If you have a chance to talk to Rita, do - I loved it. www.willowsystem.com Michaelle Edwards, creator of the YogAlign and FitAlign system and author of the book/DVD Pain-free Yoga from Your Inner Core will be presenting a lecture on attaining naturally aligned posture to stay vital and youthful. Common fitness myths and belief systems about how the human body works will help you understand how to engage your body in ways that will contribute to health and longevity. Good posture is the key to being pain-free as 95% of all pain is a result of misalignment. You can learn simple accessible ways to use the movements of breathing combined with natural body positions to become pain-free and sustainable from within.

CPF at Waddell and Reed, and Karen Baldwin Attorney & Counselor at Law Meditation for a Stress Free New Year Reverend Nicole Sakurai Happy New Year! Expo Workshop Sun., Feb 12th 11:00am I wish you a Happy New Year, full of success, love, health, wealth and joy! Now, at the beginning of the year, I would like to talk to you about how to live a stress free year. In a stressful society like ours, controlling our mind is often difficult, and without realizing it we find ourselves pushing beyond our abilities. The result is spiritual exhaustion, terror, needless worry about the future, and general misgivings, causing people to become ill. Though it is true that improper diet and lack of exercise eventually lead to disease, it can also be said that all modern illnesses arise from stress. Especially regarding internal organs, most illnesses are known to emanate from stress related events. As human beings we are supposed to live harmoniously with a truthoriented lifestyle. However, in many instances, we find ourselves in fast and pressure-driven business circles, often directed by some other-worldly society with negative vibrations. Humans are always forced to endure some level of worry, but what happens if we became nervous wrecks? What happens then? We certainly know that it’s better to limit or eliminate stress in our lives to realize a healthy and successful lifestyle. Our mind and spirit are inter-related. In the other world, we may only have our mind but in this world the body and mind influence each other. This is one of the starting points of the enlightenment process. We are all spiritual beings, living in a material world. However, how many people do not recognize their willpower. We have will of mind, and our mind materializes our own thoughts. This is why the state of the mind immediately affects the body, and the physical condition undergoes changes. If the mind becomes ill, then the body will begin to suffer, too. This is how we create our sickness. However, we can heal our sickness, too. Today, the number of people dying from cancer is on the rise, and actually, in nearly most cases the root causes is spiritual stress, anxiety or anguish. In this world, the body and mind are united and cannot be divided - they influence one another. Happy Science offers the teaching of the principle of love and the principle of self-reflection (re-examining our mind). This is what we need to prevent stress. In addition, meditation and positive thinking are very helpful. We have methods of meditating. Meditation relaxes our various internal organs as well as the nervous system, which helps in preventing diseases that come from stress. I would recommend meditation as a preventive measure. A healthy lifestyle is extremely important, offering a treasure that money cannot buy. Good control of the body and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are the keys to living happily for a long time. This will allow you to enjoy your life without inconveniencing others. Build a healthy life through the “Principles of Happiness.” Happy Science Kauai and Happiness Planting Center in Lihu`e have book shops with many self-improvement book selections and a variety of world spiritual books available as well. Both places offer meditation workshops, spiritual training, and truthstudy classes for spiritual growth, forgiving others, spiritual healing and giving unconditional love, understanding the meaning of your life and the world, and transforming yourself to become your ideal person. ** SPECIAL OFFER: The first five people who mention this article will receive free our original meditation CD.

What if the eye looks at nothing until the light grabs it which causes the eye to reflexively move toward the light. Then the body moves to re-orient itself to create a oneness which propels us in our journey. As a vision scientist, Dr. Berne will share his insights about healing the body through the eyes and how this healing affects our lives. He will introduce a variety of modalities that include light/color, continuum somatic movement, and medicinal essential oils to help us discover our true selves. Instead of experiencing life by looking through a hole, we can experience life as whole. As Jesus says: “ the light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” (Matthew 6 King James Version) Dr. Sam Berne has been a pioneer in vision science, subtle energy therapies, and integrative health for over twenty-five years. An internationally renowned author, researcher, and facilitator, Dr. Berne uses a variety of disciplines including vision therapy, biofield analysis, quantum physics, continuum movement, medicinal essential oils, craniosacral therapy, dolphin-assisted therapy, and photo (light) therapy with respect to expanding human potential. He is on the faculty at The Esalen Institute, and The Findhorn Foundation. www.drsamberne.com 14 w w w . h a w a i i s i n s p i r a t i o n . c o m BrainWave Learning Games We all like to play games that make us smile and challenge our skills. Maybe the oldest game we know of involved rolling round, polished stones discovered in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating back to 5,200 B.C.E. This was the “technology” of the time that evolved into a similar Greek game and then a Roman game, known as bocce ball. In the 21st Century it may be safe to say that more people play computer-based games than ones that involve rolling balls. Francesco Garripoli, founder of WujiTech, a Kaua`i-based software design firm says, “With the saturation point that we have reached in computer games, it seemed that the only direction we could go to really make a positive difference was to start using brainwaves instead of joysticks. To me, this is the “game changer” and opens amazing possibilities to reach our latent cerebral potential.” The new generation of WujiTech games are “learning games” refining “how” an individual learns. Research in neuroscience shows the true plasticity of the human brain in how it can “rewire” itself. If we continue to reinforce “old” neural pathways though, the brain becomes stagnant and “rigid.” The WujiTech “WujiBrainWave” games are truly state-of-the-art because they are introducing a new variable – your brainwave output. Imagine putting on a light little headset that feels like it just came out of a Star Trek episode and controlling the progress of your “game” completely through the brainwaves that your brain naturally generates. Through the feedback of on-screen meters showing “Joy”, “Inner Calm,” “Attention” and beautiful 3D graphics of spirals with floating crystal spheres and realistic swimming dolphins, you “play” and realize that you can actually access brain function that was never made available to you before. Using a medical-grade EEG sensor, your wireless headset is reading your brain’s output in real time and what you see on the computer screen is, well, your brain live and in color. There is a variety of “MindMedia” that comes with the WujiBrainWave app and more is being created for the WujiBrainWave platform by developers around the world that can be purchased to add to your app to help customize it to enhance your brain’s potential whether you are an adult or a child. Francesco started designing cutting edge software in the early 1980s for clients including AT&T Bell Labs, Hewlett-Packard, and PBS-TV as he says, “even before Macs and PCs.” WujiTech has been developing software in Hawaii focused on the educational marketplace since 2003. Through his non-profit work at Kahuna Valley in the area of youth mentoring and family support services, WujiTech delivers unique solutions to the Hawaii Department of Education (DOE). While on the elected Community Liaison for the Kapaa Middle School SCC Board, he designed the unique MentorOhana software system and created an online community for young teens to share their feelings about school and learn through their data tracking and inquiry process. The goal was to show how their mind and attitudes directly affected their academic scores and social skills at school. Hundreds of students gravitated towards using the software and surprised educators with an overwhelming response rate and the fact that students shared in a way that they didn’t feel comfortable doing any other way. Today, the Hawaii DOE is using the WujiTech software, incorporting the MentorOhana features in a ground-breaking online web environment for all the Kaua’i Complex Area Schools representing nearly 10,000 students and hundreds of teachers. WujiTech’s MentorOhana is fully transparent, the students have full access to their data at any time building trust and teamwork. Students shine using the software as it is “their” domain, an online world where they could express themselves and learn “how” to learn. This is an important adjunct to our public school system, which does a great job of teaching “what” to learn. WujiTech’s WujiBrainWave app is available on Apple’s iTunes for the iPad, and directly from WujiTech for the Mac and PC. All versions work with the WujiTech Environments such as www.CommunityAwake.com. For more information contact www.WujiTech.com. WujiTech will be at the Kaua’i Wellness Expo on February 11 & 12, 2012.

He was a modest man and one would not be able to discern that he was a great healer. I had heard stories of him, and how he had helped people in need, healing them of their physical, emotional, and spiritual afflictions. I paid him a visit to thank him for helping a friend; I brought some kulolo, a bit of poi, and a heartfelt mahalo. I met him outside of his house in Hanama`ulu on a Tuesday afternoon. He happily accepted the makana and invited me inside. He said he also had a gift for me. He asked me to lie upon a massage table he had set up in his living room. He then told me to relax and close my eyes. He began to pray. As he prayed I felt myself begin to float into a surreal dream lifting me into another realm. Although I was conscious of what was happening, I had no control. When he finished his prayer, I returned from wherever I was. As I opened my eyes, he was smiling upon me. I told him, “I really don’t know why I am here to see you.” He answered, “Our kupuna wanted to bring us together for some reason.” As we talked story I learned about him and his gifts that he so freely shared to help others in need. As we parted, he asked that I return to talk more. I returned the following week and often after that to continue our conversations about the Hawaiian culture, prayer, spirituality, martial arts, healing, and of course food, among other varied topics. We had a lot in common. His knowledge was diverse and deep, and he was unlike others I had met in the healing community. He talked about lomilomi techniques, but he also shared his knowledge about various herbs and their uses. He spoke about spirituality and some of his adventures while traveling around Polynesia. We truly enjoyed our meetings and met as often as we could. One day, while eating our weekly #10 fish sandwich meal from Burger King, he asked if I wanted to become his student. I graciously denied him and asked that we continue to be friends. I was afraid that things would change and the dynamics of our relationship would no longer exist. Why spoil a good thing? “Okay,” he said, and continued to finish his meal. He then explained that he needed to travel to O`ahu to work and that we could meet as soon as he returned. Upon our next meeting, he proceeded to explain that he had oki `ia, or severed all his ties to his students. I was to become his only student. I was taken aback and a bit disturbed by his decision. He explained that it was imperative that I learn and he assured me that it would be all right. We met as often as we could. He continued to share his life experiences and the art of healing with me. He gave intricate details about some experiences from his past, and when he told me those stories, it was as if I was actually there and reliving them with him. I finally became aware that I was learning from his experiences and from what he had done in his life. He was right, as usual. Everything would be good. I got a call early one Sunday morning from my kahu. My family and I had just spent the previous evening with him and some friends enjoying dinner at his place. He asked that I come and get him from the hospital. I rushed over to Wilcox where he was waiting in the emergency room. He had fallen and was in a lot of pain. We spent the day picking up his prescriptions. Then rested, and I stayed by his side. During the periods when he was awake, he shared with me a lot about the healing arts. He had so much to say, and when he spoke it was serious and deep. The lessons were short and to the point. He also spoke about several sacred items that he held dear to him. He thanked me and asked that I stay with him. I had no thoughts of doing otherwise. Ken Kalani Kamakea passed away on May 1, 2006. I truly believe he chose his time to leave, as he always talked about different levels in life. He always joked that he had one more level to reach in this life. I never understood that until that day. Ken steered me on my path and mentored me when I needed it most in my life, without my knowing that I needed it. I learned a lot from the experiences Ken shared with me. I remember what he would always say when we parted ways as I said my mahalo. He would just smile and say, “I am just a kauwa.” It always intrigued me that a man with that much `ike, knowledge, would humbly refer to himself as a servant. But he portrayed this role without effort. He would help people openly and freely. He would share his aloha with all the people he worked with when he healed them. But he always said that it was not he who was the healer, it was the gifts that he was given from Ke Akua. He was a servant of Ke Akua as we are all just vessels. “Healing,” he explained, “depended on how much aloha you had in your hand.” Ken showed me that we should share aloha unconditionally when we heal someone. One of the last things Ken told me was, “There are no differences among people, it’s just what we choose to do.” There isn’t a day that I do not think of Ken and the impact he has had on so many peoples’ lives. I do my best every day through my own life to honor his teachings and the art of healing. I am just a kauwa.

We are growing and developing a new, harmonious, peaceful world from the inside out. Each soul is connected to all other elements in the Universe, and Light, the energetic power of the Soul, in concert with information can be used by consciousness to alter health, personal issues, disasters and the world itself. The mere desire of an individual is enough to trigger this process, and many specific techniques available from these Russian teachers empower the person’s effectiveness in attaining the results and improvements envisioned. Every type of concern, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relationships, past, present and future has been addressed successfully. What are considered miracles are achieved through application of the principles involved. When a part of the body is lost, the etheric blueprint remains and can be seen by psychics and special photography. The energy of the body part is still present. Thus organs lost or removed have been regenerated. Teeth have been regrown. Most health issues have corrected to a natural state. One seminar participant gave a method to a friend who weighed 450 pounds, and in three months the friend lost 108 pounds and is still dropping weight. One woman regenerated her uterus which had been surgically removed. Gallbladders have been re-grown and thyroids rejuvenated. Financial issues have improved dramatically for many. Russian academics, mental healers and clairvoyants Grigori Grabovoi, Arcady Petrov, Igor Arepev and others are known for their effective methods of clairvoyance and healing. For an overview, see the Arcady Petrov film “The Light of Eternity”, part 1, http://tinyurl.com/lightofeternity, Russian with English audio. Parts 2-6 also available. Teachers coming to Hawaii, Los Angeles and Sarasota are Svetlana Smirnova and Alexander Teetz. Svetlana, Neurologist, Clairvoyant and healer, originally from Omsk, Russia, now Hamburg, has an extensive history of direct and long-distance healing support and seminars, worldwide. She is the official Seminar Representative of Grigori Grabovoi in the Western world. Alexander, Hamburg, originally in Management, is now a life-coach. He is an author and publisher of the RARE WARE Life Management books.

Jerry Tennant, MD, MD(H),MD(P), FAAO Knowing that chronic disease is associated with low voltage, an obvious question is, “What is my voltage?” One can measure the body’s voltage with a voltmeter that measures in millivolts. However, the voltage in the body pulses, making it difficult to get a true endpoint with a voltmeter. There are computerized devices that will measure the body voltage. An example is the Tennant Biomodulator® in Assess Mode. The Tennant Biomodulator® can be placed into the Assess Mode to measure the area of concern. pH is a measurement of voltage. A solution may be either an electron donor or an electron stealer. One measures voltage with a special voltmeter. When the voltage is an electron stealer, it is called plus voltage. When it is an electron donor, it is called a negative voltage. The voltage is converted to a logarithmic scale of 1-14 called pH. Cells are designed to run at a pH of 7.35 (-20 millivolts) to a pH of 7.45 (25 millivolts). Cell membranes can achieve a temporary “action potential” of up to -90 millivolts. We heal by making new cells. Making new cells requires -50 millivolts. We get sick when we cannot achieve -50 millivolts and thus cannot make new cells. We are thus stuck in chronic disease. All chronic disease is defined by having low voltage. We can measure the voltage of organs via the acupuncture meridians with the Assess Mode of the Tennant Biomodulator®. Remember that we normally don’t get well by making damaged cells work correctly. We get well by making new cells that work correctly. We replace the rods and cones in our retinas every 48 hours. The skin you are sitting in is only six weeks old. Your liver is eight weeks old. Your brain replaces itself every eight months. Your bones are replaced every year. Making new cells requires raw materials (nutrition) and the voltage to use them. When an area of the body measures less than -20 millivolts, there are no pharmaceuticals or surgeries that will heal it because there isn’t enough voltage to make it heal! You must insert electrons to raise the voltage to -50 millivolts so that new cells can be made. The body knows how to heal most things if you give it the nutrition and voltage to do it and the Tennant Biomodulator® is a wonderful tool to assist in bringing voltage up.

Access provides you with step-by-step building blocks to become totally aware and begin to function as the conscious being you really are. Founded by Gary Douglas in 1990 and expanding with the added contribution of Dr. Dain Heer over the last 11 years, Access Consciousness is now available in many countries throughout the world. The purpose of Access is to create a world of consciousness and oneness. Consciousness includes everything and judges nothing. It is our target to get you to the point where you receive from Access the awareness of everything, with no judgment of anything. If you have no judgment of anything, then you get to look at everything for what it is, not for what you want it to be, not for what it ought to be, but just for what it is. Consciousness is the ability to be present in your life in every moment, without judgment of you or anyone else. It is the ability to receive everything, reject nothing, and create everything you desire in life - greater than what you currently have, and more than what you can imagine. Through a variety of classes, body-work or private session, licensed facilitators use question and verbal processing techniques to empower you in knowing what you know. It is through you becoming more conscious of what choices and possibility you have available, that allows you to choose and generate the life you truly desire. What if you were willing to nurture and care for you? What if you would open the doors to being everything you have decided it is not possible to be? What would it take for you to realize how crucial you are to the possibilities of the world? “All Life Comes to Me with Ease, Joy and Glory!”™ [email protected] Your Emerging Self Bessie Estonactoc, M.A. is a Women’s Empowerment Life Coach on the island of Oahu.

Ra relates, “One evening, while returning to my cottage, I walked into a ‘force-field’ and was ‘taken over’ by what I describe as ‘the Voice.’ “ During the next eight days, the Human Design System was delivered to Ra in its entirety. The Human Design System is a synthesis of modern day sciences, including physics, genetic and bio chemistry, and the esoteric systems of astrology, the I-Ching, Kabbalah and chakras. These systems are then woven together to produce charts for all known things on Earth. Working with accurate birth data, an astrological chart is created which divides the sky into 64 pieces relating to the I-Ching, the Chinese Book of Changes in which 64 hexagrams describe the human experience and the human genetic code, in which there are 64 codons. Unlike astrology, which is read only from the chart of birth, Human Design draws up two charts, one for the exact time of birth and a second with the sun exactly 88 degrees (3 months) before birth. The first relates to the soul’s innate nature and the second to the biological genetic material inherited from our ancestors. Thus, with two astrological calculations, the whole genetic makeup, both conscious (soul) and unconscious, (ancestral) is registered in terms of hexagrams of the I-Ching, and then charted onto a Rave, a body graph synthesized from the Kabbala’s Tree of Life and the Hindu chakra system. The human body graph contains nine energy centers linked by 36 channels which consist of 64 ‘gates.’ The information from the astrological calculations is then colored into the corresponding gates in the body graph. The result is a map of the genetic makeup of the person, the actual unique energetic circuit board with very specific ways of operating. It is the design of what you are here to live out this lifetime. Human Design is an incredible tool for awakening that shows us exactly and precisely what we are here to give, to learn, and the practical tools on how to create that. When you get a view of yourself or another from the inside out, there come about wonderful relaxation, compassion, and self-love. The age-old question of what we are doing here dissolves into an acceptance of how one is. Human Design is a most amazing tool, which allows us to see clearly ourselves as a part of a greater whole with our own precious parts to play.

By Dr. Ronald S. Carlson, DDS In replacing missing teeth you, the patient, have one of five options: 1) do nothing and risk arch collapse and a bad bite, 2) dental implant and its extensive surgical procedures with pain and outlandish costs, 3) cutting your teeth to stubs for a metal/porcelain fixed bridge, 4) “flipper” removable bridge, or 5) the innovation known as the CARLSON BRIDGE®. Picture your missing tooth being replaced much like an artist would create a sculpture: This can be done in any part of the mouth, directly, mostly in one simple appointment, for one, two or three missing teeth. The obvious is apparent, in that there is no tooth mutilation or cutting of teeth, no blood from gum-bone surgery and no side effects from metal implants of titanium, which corrodes inside the body, leaching metal ions focalizing in tissues such as liver, spleen, muscle and other locations. Why risk complications in your dental care? We have been doing this procedure very successfully in Honolulu for the past twenty-two years. The cost of a CARLSON BRIDGE® is about two thirds that of a traditional fixed bridge, which runs as high as $3,600.00. Implants for single tooth replacement may cost $4,000.00 to $6,000.00. Beyond the monetary investment in your dental health, one can clearly see that the CARLSON BRIDGE® approach is a method of preservation of your precious teeth. Contact Dr. Carlson at 808-735-0282 or Google Carlson Bridge. All the best to you in the New Year 2012. Aloha!

As we were driving around the island I felt beings in other dimensions who were excited that we were coming to activate positive energetic forces with our upcoming Akasha Soul Celebration event January 26-29, 2012, on Maui. In preparation, here is a special message that I channeled from the Light beings who reside there: “We welcome you with great anticipation. There is taking place a rapid re-balancing of the Earth to take us into a new way of being. Deep within the core of the Earth the rumblings are intensifying. The islands of Hawaii will be a director of actions on Earth in response to catastrophes, for she has resilience and understanding that is stronger than other places on Earth. All of Hawaii is a beam of light and a magnetic anchor point for the Sun. Even the extinct volcanoes have an incredible Earth force. You can assist in channeling this energy to help the Earth move easily through the 2012 shift. If you imagine all of the tips of the volcanoes coming together in a huge beam of light interconnecting with the Sun’s light, that electromagnetic fusion will be of great help to the Earth. That’s why being here in Hawaii over the next couple of years is going to be extremely important. Let love prevail and human living be of love and respect for all!” Join renowned spiritual teacher, author, and filmmaker Carolyn Cobelo in Haiku, Maui, January 26-29, 2012 for The Akasha Soul Celebration, a world-class program of activities to help you raise your spiritual vibration, including sacred space ceremonies, fireside meditation, trance channeling, and Akasha chanting.

Dr. Wesselman is also a shamanic practitioner and teacher, now in the 30th year of his apprenticeship. The books in his autobiographical trilogy—Spiritwalker, Medicinemaker, and Visionseeker—reveal the nature of his initiation into the shaman’s world and document his investigations into a hidden reality that most of us have heard about, but few have experienced directly. Hank is the author of eight books on shamanism including Awakening to the Spirit World: The Shamanic Path of Direct Revelation (with Sandra Ingerman) and The Bowl of Light—an account of his great friendship and philosophical discussions with Hawaiian kahuna elder Hale Makua. “In Bowl of Light , Wesselman composes a masterpiece, sharing Makua’s profound talk-story--the indigenous way of imparting wisdom--as the oral tradition is effectively transmitted into the written word. The book is essential for any world wisdom collection and for those on a spiritual path to discover the soul’s true heritage.” -Bobbye Middendorf, ForeWord Reviews, May 2011 “The book is such a rich banquet of food for thought that you need to put it down regularly to contemplate and digest each tasty morsel. It would be a great book to use as the basis for a study group. Highly recommended!” --Miriam Knight, New Consciousness Review, April 28, 2011 Hank and his family live on their farm in Honaunau on Hawai’i Island.
