Aloha All,
I had already written the info below and had it ready to send , when on my walk this morning I was guided to add this, so here it is.
I’m going to share part of an email I sent to one of our nani ‘ohana during the week.:-
“After we had hung up today I was reflecting on a comment you made, which a lot of people make to me, about how lucky I am going to Hawaii so much.
It makes me chuckle a bit when people say that ‘cos it’s actually not luck in the sense that people tend to mean when they talk about luck.
I was thinking about what I had said to you about intent with action, and for me that’s what my ‘luck’ is and always has been.

I think the reason they want me to share this is to understand that it’s none of my business or concern what anyone else’s journey.
What I do care about though, although it’s still none of my business, is that each of you reading this is fully committing & dedicated
to your journey, your path and being all that you can be. To clearing the aka cords and fully shining in this world. That’s all I want for each of you.
There’s a wonderful Hawaiian saying that I love- “A’ohe wawae o ka i’a; o’oe ka mea wawae,ki’i mai”
which translates literally to: a fish has no feet; you who have feet must come and get what you want ie thoughts must be reinforced by action.
So often money is the excuse that keeps being used to stay stuck. Remember money is an energy. When you set the intent, with the right intent
ie from the heart, with ethics and integrity, trust the guidance you are being given, prepare to be amazed with the results.
Sure it can be a rollercoaster, however enjoy the ride!!!
Those who know me know that I am not and never have been motivated by money. I do what I do because it’s my journey and that involves listening to the Ancestors and doing what I’m guided to do to share the Aloha Spirit and the honour the native Hawaiians and their teachings.
I love teaching lomilomi however am walking away from that for the time-being because that’s my guidance and commitment to the
Native Hawaiians.
The other thing that I will mention that I do care about regarding the journey of others, is those who work in the realm of Hawaiian massage and healing practices or have benefited in some way from the Hawaiian teachings.
My question is what do you do to truly honour and give back to those who have given us so much on so many levels?

Whether you attend the Fundraising Dinner on October 2nd again is none of my business, it may however be an amazing opportunity to tithe,
show gratitude and exchange energy in a beautiful, enjoyable way.

Aloha ‘uhane,

Earlybird for last Ho’oponopono of the year due 21 July & 28 July for the final Advanced day.

Looking forward to seeing you for the end of this phase of my journey.
We’ll wait to see what the Ancestors have in mind for the next phase!

Aloha, Tracey
1: HO’OPONOPONO – Hawaiian Code of Forgiveness afternoon
* Open to anyone*

Ho’oponopono means to make right. Essentially, it means to make it right with the ancestors, or to make right with the people with whom you have relationships. To restore and mend broken relationships. It is an integral & core part of Hawaiian culture, society & healing. For full healing to occur, ho’oponopono  is vital.
This class is open to anyone. Even if you have experienced the class before, it may be time to gain a deeper understanding
& experience some new layers of release & healing.
Discussion includes:  what is ho’oponopono,   why is it useful- actually why is it necessary,  various  aspects  & practical methods of doing ho’oponopono, forgiveness prayer,   personally experiencing some simple healing, release & ho’oponopono processes
Venue : Kilbride Centre, 52 Beaconsfield Pde, Albert Park    Date : Sunday 01 August 1-5.30pm     Investment: $120 0r $100 of paid by 21 July
Bring : pillow ,pen & paper                                                                           ~~~~~~~~~~“““““““““““““““““““““““““““““

For lomilomi practitioners

Bring: sarong, hand towel, your own lunch ( teas & coffee provided) ,  massage table if you can.

Again I will reiterate this will be the last ‘Advanced’ day.
The format of the entire lomilomi training is changing & that will involve the Advanced Trainings becoming part of the full lomilomi training,
possibly a fulll weekend.
Practice Days will, in future be a chance to connect with ‘ohana, practice and re-learn what you’ve forgotten & ask questions.
However, they will not involve demonstration of new techniques.

Aloha Kakou,

Many of you are aware that a Fundraising Committee has been formed to help raise money for restoration and reclamation projects in Halawa along with also being able to assist Na Mea Kane Hula O Molokai to continue to share their teachings with the world.
There are a number of fundraising projects being organised, with the first one being a
Film Night featuring the Award winning film : Hula Girls

http://www.hulagirls-movie.com/

This is a beautiful film based on a true story, that will have you laughing and crying.

The main Fundraising event will be a dinner on 02 October at the Crest on Barkley.
We are currently arranging this, however can use all the help we can get with sponsorship, donations for raffles and auctions etc etc.
We will be bringing Anakala, Lawrence, Kawika & 1 or 2 ‘ohana from Molokai for hula and music.

So if you are able  share in the Aloha Spirit and to assist in any way such as putting us in contact with potential sponsors, assisting with such things as graphic design and printing of invitations, anything that may be of assistance, please contact Teresa as she is heading up the committee.
teresa corso <tjcorso@iprimus.com.au> 0433166050

So, stay tuned for further updates.
Remember the power of focus and intent and let’s see what we can achieve to truly assist sharing and living Aloha

I stated in my opening introduction on the Friday night that the weekend would be profound & life-changing for all who attended. Well, I guess  I can now say ‘ I told you so’ The experience & impact of these profound teachings and weekends is best articulated in the following testimonials.These are just a few as I have yet to be able to get through them all, however these ones typify what was experienced.  On another note, for me personally I will share that the protocol ceremony with the Indigenous Aboriginal Elders on Stradbroke Island was incredibly profound & emotional for me. The tears began when we started our  pule & ceremony at sunrise with the incredible strength of emotion remaining .When the ceremony started on the island -well, words cannot do it justice. Suffice to say I was a ‘mess’ the rest of the day- A profound rainbow bridge was built that day.  Aunty Margaret Iselin- what a gem you are & all the women that were there that day. Mahalo nui to  Anthony for his kokua in making it happen.

From Mandy :           I am not a Lomi Lomi practitioner, I sit on a computer for most of my working day. The point I am trying to make is that ‘Living the Sacred Teachings of Aloha’ workshop I have just completed is so very valuable to anyone. It is a workshop that ANYONE can do, (& should really find the time do so if they possibly can)…………..you will be blown away by what you will leave with when it is over.

Truthfully I didn’t want it to finish, I was so mesmerised by Lawrence, Kawika, Kanoe & Alicia’s sessions, that really 2.5 days with these wonderful people is definitely only the beginning. Trust me it will only whet your appetite to learn more. Tracey did say it was a life changing experience‚ and it sure was. I feel I am on the road to being the person I aspire to be.

I spent a lot of the weekend in tears, I felt these tears were expelling the past, cleansing me for a better understanding of what I can do for myself, my family & friends that I are in my life, and for the people I am yet to meet who will be a part of it.

Lastly, if do choose to experience this for yourself, go that one step further and have a ho’oponopono session too…………………….like Lawrence said, it‚s time to peel the Mango.

I feel that I have been given a very special gift – truly a unique and Divine Life experience, Love and Light to you, Lawrence and Kanoe. Tanya

My tears paint the testament across my cheeks for the Passion, Mana & Aloha that I feel for what I experienced & for the beautiful people who blessed my journey. Mahalo, Rameka

Fantastic weekend – Thankyou. I was honoured to be here. Mahalo nui loa. Carolyn

Mahalo, mahalo, mahalo Ann

Wonderful introduction to the foundation of the spiritual teachings/culture/history. Certainly ‘whetted’ my appetite for more……… Saleemah

Mahalo, Merci to All of you. Celine L

What a beautiful, sacred and nourishing time we shared together. Aloha Jos.

I thank you for sharing your knowledge. I feel very humbled by the experience. I thank you. Mahalo Aloha. Linda

Was a great experience, one that I wanted to go for longer! Thankyou- Mahalo Michelle

Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for your teachings and Aloha. Caroline

A big Thankyou/mahalo for all your Generosity of Spirit & Aloha. Mahalo Paie xx

Aloha Kakou,

Well, what an amazing journey the last 12 months has been! Bringing the incredible Beings from Molokai to our shores has been a massive undertaking, & given the response from those who attended, certainly worth every moment. Mind you, my flat still looks like an office with a bed and a dog somewhere in the middle, however It’s getting tidied slowly.

Those who were there know they intend to return next March, so hold on for the next wave!! I will keep you all updated.

Things in my world are changing very much in the next few months also. I received the message a few months ago that my teaching would be changing & that the guidance as to how that would be would be given at some point.

So I waited patiently for the next instalment & it is slowly unfolding.

Sooo, after this current April Lomilomi training, I will be taking a sabbatical from teaching lomilomi courses for approx 12 months. I will however still be holding the Practice Days, Ho’oponopono Days & Talk Story afternoons.   I’m seeing what the Ancestors have in store for the next part of my journey.

Part of this change too is due to other milestones in my life. I turn 50 at the end of May, & whilst apart form the extra silver hair I certainly neither feel (nor act !) that age, I am feeling strongly it is indicating a time of change, of new. From a numerological perspective it will be a #9 year, which is about letting go of the old. It’s certainly shaping up to be that. Whilst I may be spending more time in Hawaii, than I do even now, you all know I ain’t leaving my little angel Murphy for extended periods. So it might be more frequent trips, however I need to be in Australia to also help paddle the canoe from Molokai to here.

Can’t run the office full time from the car at the top of the hill in Halawa!

Following is some info & reminders on upcoming events & other things happening this year .

Teresa is also going to be organising more Fund Raising events for the Halawa Restoration, & is looking to form a fundraising committee to workshop ideas.

Please contact her on 0433166050 or tjcorso@iprimus.com.au if you would like to assist.

Aloha Nui, Tracey

What an incredible example of the power of one thought, one seed of an idea, intent, focus & action! The fundraising day on 17 January was the idea of Teresa Corso who simply wanted to do something to give back to those whose teachings have been so important to her journey. The seed was planted & in 4 weeks the appropriate people came in to being to assist & support her in her endeavour. In just one day $2532 was raised! Mahalo nui loa to Teresa & to all the ‘ohana who were either there on the day or who donated items for raffles, doorprizes, money, food & teas. You are all extraordinary! The money will help in Sacred Halawa Valley to get such things repaired as the brakes on the truck, the pipes which carry water from the dam to the house & the lo’i, &d if we can raise even more – maybe hot water for showering!

This brings me to the concept of tithing or donating, whatever phrase you want to use. Many spiritual practices & universal ‘laws’ talk of the concept of tithing, often using the figure of 10% of income. Many of you know I donate regularly to RSPCA, IFAW, World Vision Child Sponsorship, Aloha International and Halawa Valley & collect towels for various animal shelters ( which reminds me, the Xmas bundle went to Victorian Dog Rescue – mahalo to those who contributed). That’s what I choose to do & of course everyone is different & has their own journey & priorities. The thing with tithing or donating, It’s not the amount that is given, it’s about the intent with which it is given. Neither does it need to be money, it can be time, volunteering, all sorts of things.

I often hear people say such things as’ I can’t afford to’, ‘ I don’t have the money’ etc . Perhaps it’s time to revisit ‘The 7 Principles’ of Huna, ‘The Secret’, ‘The Law of Attraction’ – all spiritual concepts of manifesting just under different labels.

To quote some Hawaiian phrases regarding manifesting & prosperity :

- Ana’ole, kea au, ka po ( there are no limits to the outer world or the inner world)

- O ka pono ke hana ‘ia a iho main a lani ( do good until the heavens come down to you/ Blessings come to those who persist in doing good)

- Aia ke ola I Kahiki ( Life is in Kahiki/ Success comes from the inner world)

- A’ohe wawae o ka i’a: o ‘oe ka mea wawae, ki’i mai ( a fish has no feet: you who have feet must come & get what you want/ thoughts must be reinforced by action)

- Ko Koa uka, ko koa kai ( those of the upland, those of the shore / share so that everyone’s needs are met)

And to quote Serge: “ Fear is the only problem: love is the only solution.”

“ Tithing is a way of sharing resources & expanding prosperity. You get back according to how  it makes you feel, not according to how much you give”

& here’s Serge’s great little ditty to sing : Life is An Adventure

Be aware of what you are & what you want to be:

You can turn your life around from A to Z

Nothing is Impossible, belief is all you need;

You don’t have to trust to luck just plant the seed.

(chorus) Oh, Life is an adventure, life is all a dream;

Everything is flexible & not what it would seem

Dare to give yourself a chance to do the best you can;

Plan the way to live your life & walk your plan!

When the world is getting dark & you are full of fear.

Remember to turn on the light & make things clear.

When you are unhappy, & when you’re full of doubt.

Fill yourself with energy & then begin to shout

(chorus)

There’s a little secret that’s as old as can be;

Faith can make a mountain move & love can set you free

So bless the world each morning, & by it you’ll be blessed;

Trust the power deep within & then expect the best!

(chorus)

Are you Singing & Smiling yet?     You could even put a little dance with it to energise even more!!

]I was coming back from my walk this morning with the all that is contained in this blog running through my head. Whenever that happens I know it’s coming from a higher source that wants to be heard or get a message through and that it’s time for another blog, so here it is.

I’m often asked questions by people seeking a lomilomi teacher or practitioner as to who I can recommend. My answer to them is along the lines of  ’ask them these questions and then decide if this is the appropriate teacher or practitioner for you’. The questions are: where in Hawaii have they trained? if not in Hawaii, what is their kumu’s lineage or background ie has their teacher trained in Hawaii, does their teacher have the permission of their kumu to teach? Have they ever been to Hawaii? Have they ever studied at all with an Hawaiian?               There are many who are doing lomilomi that cannot answer yes to many of these questions. There are many who use the Hawaiian teachings, culture and spirituality in their businesses and I will be blunt enough to say , who earn money from these teachings and cannot answer yes to these.

So , my question is to those who are practitioners  and teachers of Hawaiian healing and spirituality in any form is - what are you doing and what do you do to honour, respect and support those whose wisdom and knowledge you benefit and profit from?

When Lawrence Aki ‘agreed’ to come to Australia to share the teachings of his ancestors, he would only do so if he had the permission of the Indigenous Australians. He would not teach here without their blessing. So a sacred ceremony will be done in Melbourne and Brisbane with the Indigenous Elders of Australia, with ho’okupu (offerings) being made to them from the Kanaka Maoli of Molokai.    This is how important honouring and respecting is for Native Hawaiians. How important is it for you?

I am under no illusion- although I am seen as Kumu in Australia and am given that title by a number of Hawaiians,would never have the arrogance to assume that title in Hawaii. I will always be haumana when I am in the presence of Kanaka Maoli. I may  be seen as ‘Professor’ of many things Hawaiian here, however am very much in pre-school when I step foot on any Hawaiian ‘aina.

I know my Kia Kahi, my purpose is very different to many peoples and that we all have a different journey.  I continue to strive to be the best advocate and representative for Kanaka Maoli and all Hawaiians that I can be. This, along with being haumana and of service to them will continue until the the day I Walk the Rainbow.

Perhaps it’s time to take a moment and reflect upon  your own kia kahi, your own purpose and journey. Are you truly embodying and understanding what it is to honour and respect the Kanaka Maoli, the Native Hawaiians and the Ancestors?                                                                            Are YOU willing to embrace in your Practice what it is to be truly Hawaiian  & to be PONO with your practices? What commitment are YOU willing to make to yourself to move from ‘doing’ to ‘being’ & to honour the Kanaka Maoli & the Ancestors &  to Malama Pono ? Sometimes you are offered a Makana, a Gift .Are you willing to receive this  gift, this rare opportunity? Are you & your clients worthy of this investment?

‘IKE NO I KA LA O KA ‘IKE, MANA NO I KA LA O KA MANA
There is a time for knowledge & a time for mana ( power)
Sometimes in life you are learning, sometimes you put learning into practice..
….but you never finish learning.

Aloha Kakou,

Xmas is almost here again, which for many is a time of reflection of what the year held for each of us and what difference did we each make to the planet. For me it was certainly filled with extraordinary events and adventures, learnings, movement, re-evaluation of values, meeting extraordinary beings, and so the list goes on. It has certainly been a year filled with embracing and articulating more of all that is important to me  which can really be put under 2 phrases: Aloha Spirit and ‘Ohana.

As always, life reinforces to me why I do what I do, live how I live, teach what I teach. Whilst the journey always has it’s challenges, the joys certainly  far outweigh the hiccups.

To all my ‘ohana -family, haumana, clients, friends, incredible beings who have crossed my path- mahalo nui loa for being a precious part of my life, and Murphy’s, and for encouraging and helping me to follow my pu’uwai,my na’au, my path, to keep striving to spread and live Aloha. I wish you all the most wonderful Mele Kalikimaka ( Merry Xmas) and Hau’oli Makahiki Hou ( happy new year). May you all follow your heart, your guidance with much aloha.

Remember too, to offer the compassion, caring and support to those who have perhaps had a challenging year and to the special little beings who don’t have a ‘voice’. Many of you know that I collect towels, sheets etc at this time of the year to donate to animal shelters, so feel free to pass them to me and I will deliver them, or do what you can to help these little beings and any beings in need. Be Aloha, Be pono

Me Ke Aloha Pumehana, Tracey and big Mana filled licks from Murphy

What can I say here…..I feel I am still integrating the whole trip in body, mind and especially soul.  On this particular day some of our group headed off for a trek to Kalaupapa village, to get there you had to trek down a 3,000ft high sea cliff to reach the beach and then bus it to the village.  I thought that is ok the track can’t be that bad..hahah.  I have done a lot of trekking and bush walking so I though this would be ok….another hahaha!!

We arrived at the beginning of the trail did a beautiful ceremony to assist us on our trek and standing at the top of the cliff I looked down and thought what an amazing sight and wow what a way to walk, however I had excitement yet calm within.

This was the start of my journey, unbeknown to me spirit had other plans for me for the rest of the trek.

We walked in silence which was great as you were able to be in the present moment, yet at the same time were taken back by the beauty of nature that surrounded us on this trail.  We were walking through some of the most ancient forests around and you could feel the sacredness of the land that you walked upon, you felt the nature spirits guiding you to turn and look at certain points along the trail, to be in-touch with the aina.  This was very powerful.

The trail was very steep, muddy and rocky in a lot of the parts so this made you make sure you kept your awareness about you as you walked, however at certain point the scenery was so magnificent that you did turn and look at the beauty, this is where my little surprise popped out of nowhere.  I turned to look at the beauty that surrounded me especially the moss that covered the forest that we were walking through and through one moment of distraction I found I lost my footing, slipped on some mud and then WHAM!!! I found myself sitting in the mud with a twisted left ankle and twisted right knee, getting close to mother earth – aina, I obviously needed to be grounded.

I sat for a few moments thinking “what happened” and I suppose I was in a bit of shock, luckily for me my girlfriend was coming behind me and was first to see if I was ok.  I said I was but not sure if I could move my foot, she began to do some healing which I found instant relief and was able to bring some movement in, just  as I was about to get up part of the group that was following behind came up to see if I was ok and they began to do some healing as well…..this was the point where I was overwhelmed by the support from everyone about my wellbeing and assisting me on all levels so I was able to continue the trek….as I knew I could not go back I had to go forward and to do this on my own yet with the energetic support from the others.

To my surprise there was one of the group that was consumed by hunger in all this and had to eat breakfast whilst watching the others assist me…I found this amusing.

As I continued down the trek hobbling on one ankle and aiming to support the other knee, this made the journey very slow, however I did make the journey.  I was very much aware of the continuing support from all and how I needed to maintain a strong mind and continue telling my body that all is ok and you can do this…you can make it through the day and back to the top when the day is over.

We did the bus trek and the journey was fantastic, there was a lot of sadness and grief in Kalaupapa and at times tears began to flow, others and myself were continually doing energy work and assisting the lost souls to cross over and come to some sort of peace.

During this time my injuries were the least of my concerns, my energy was on the land and the souls.  A lot of healing went on that day on all levels…we all came back feeling very different as a lot had occurred.

When we left the village it was time to do the climb back to the top and to me at this time was very daunting as I thought “how am I going to do this?” then another thought would come in “You are strong we are with you and you can do this!”

Even as I write this a feeling of humbleness and gratitude flows through me bringing me to tears as I recall the amazing support from all that helped me to the top.

It was a hard journey one of maintaining a strong mind and continually telling my body it was ok…it was healing and it is able to get to the top.

I finally made it to the top with the assistance of a most amazing and beautiful person that kept telling me she would not leave me on the trek to do it by myself, that she would be with me even if we had to spend the night there….this is what I call true family….true Aloha spirit….that you never leave anyone behind.  This is what the world needs right now.

We finally made it to the top and it felt like crossing through a port hole and that I had just completed some form of initiation…..this is where I sat and cried and was held as the tears flowed by spirit and by a most precious friend.

Once we arrived back to the ranch I was welcomed by all and given a lot of nurturing and love…..I was totally looked after by family….aloha spirit!!

On that amazing day there were a lot of lessons learnt, we are all ohana (family) no matter what, opening to spirit and allowing the energy to move through you, knowing that you have the strength within to cope with any situation that occurs and to know that family not matter who it is, is there for you and that you are there for them whenever is needed.  I also learnt a lot about gratitude, appreciation, the aloha spirit and being open to the ancestors and for this I am forever grateful for the most amazing journey that I have experienced.

Mahalo Nui to all my Molokai Ohana.
