http://www.AlohaMassageSchool.com The Hawaiian Pocket Dictionary defines lomilomi as a method "to rub, press, crush, massage, rub out; to work in and out, as claws of a contented cat." Another translation is, "to break up into small pieces." In the early 1900's lomilomi was coined "Hawaiian massage" by the legal system."The depth of true lomilomi was virtually limitless in terms of its ability to offer potential for healing to each patient; however, the government of the time had to label it" and put in a category, which is not the Hawaiian way," says Yates. "It is correct to say that lomilomi encompasses a massage, but it is not limited to it. Native Hawaiians say the true definition of lomilomi is reconnecting with spirit." "Recipients of a lomilomi treatment often experience freedom from anxiety, worry, fear and a host of other negative thought patterns."While lomilomi is often referred to as a spiritual massage, the technique is also practical and specific. It is, for example, effective in breaking up calcium deposits and lactic acid build-up. This is accomplished by a variety of movements, such as circular thumb strokes that are done in a one-two-three rhythm directly over the area. Knuckle strokes are used on larger, denser muscles in the same rhythm, followed by soothing forearm strokes and hacking. According to Auntie Margaret, lomilomi has a profound effect on the health and development of the muscles, and the activity of the blood and nerves associated with them. It dilates blood vessels, thus improving circulation and helping to prevent strokes. It relieves muscle spasms and increases the rate of nutrients brought to the muscles by the blood, with out increasing lactic acid production. It stimulates the lymphatic system to release waste products, and is useful after injury to ligaments and tendons by dispersing edema. It also restores vitality and heightens metabolism. "True lomilomi in the right hands gives immediate and long-term results," Yates says. I

http://www.alohamassageschool.com in Maui, Hawaii serving and teaching massage to locations of Makawao, haiku, Kahului, Kihei in Maui, Hawaii. One of the styles taught is lomilomi. The Kahuna lomilomi were priests who practiced the healing arts with much reverence, love and spirituality. They believed that physical discomfort and disease were the results of suppressed emotions, mental disturbances or spiritual disharmony. The traditional lomilomi healing session began with a thorough investigation into the nature of the dysfunction, as well as prayer, fasting and several sessions in the steam hut. Once the malady was identified, the treatment would often begin with heated stones and herbal poultices. Then the Kahuna would massage and use particular lomilomi strokes necessary for that individual. One of the common similarities among lomilomi practitioners of old was the power and knowledge they had. That is, their ability to communicate deep to the bones of their patients via their touch through soft tissues, yet being noninvasive and connecting it all with spirit, says Maka'ala Yates, a Hawaiian medicine specialist. The lomilomi technique focused on finding congested areas in the body and dispersing them, by moving the palms, thumbs, knuckles and forearms in rhythmic, dance-like motions. Setting the intention for healing, the Kahuna would also utilize prayer (pule), breath (ha) and energy (mana). The practice of lomilomi was common within each Hawaiian community and contributed to a vibrant, healthy society.In the 1820's early missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands found the native healers to be accurate in their diagnosis and treatment of illness, and in mending broken bones. They considered the Hawaiians to be heathens, however, and in 1893, after years of political upheaval, the new government outlawed all spiritual traditions, including healing arts, the study of the Hawaiian language, and hula dancing. But the sacred traditions did not die; they were hidden.

A short vid with original photography and some haiku siliness Like wind through the trees Our friendship refreshes me Whispering “I’m here” With magical sound Your words fall not on deaf ears But into my heart Breath tickles my neck As you sneak up behind me To say, “I love you” Watch with envy as Birds take flight into blue skies to eternity With two coats of red And a smooth glide of the brush I polish my toes Hoping for the truth I keep my thoughts to myself Drowning in silence Quiet as a mouse The refridgerator tempts “I have cho-co-late”

It's haiku, ok? Plus I'm not wearing pants.

Mike Nobody composes a poem from Brett Keane's mispronunciations and bad grammar. After Brett made a big deal about someone copying his videos and claiming that he was going to sue Google and YouTube, he got busted by Judelicious1971 plagarizing Judy Burnette´s Poem "Dad" published in 1999: http://www.netpoets.com/poems/death/0319006.htm Dad...so many images come to mind whenever I speak your name; It seems without you in my life things have never been the same. What happened to those lazy days when I was just a child; When my life was consumed in you in your love, and in your smile. What happened to all those times when I always looked to you; No matter what happened in my life you could make my gray skies blue. Dad, some days I hear your voice and turn to see your face; Yet in my turning...it seems the sound has been erased. Dad, who will I turn to for answers when life does not make sense; Who will be there to hold me close when the pieces just don't fit. Oh, Dad, if I could turn back time and once more hear your voice; I'd tell you that out of all the dads you would still be my choice. Please always know I love you and no one can take your place; Years may come and go but your memory will never be erased. (Today, Jesus, as You are listening in your home above; Would you go and find my dad and give him all my love.) Brett Keane´s "Poem" - "Erase My Innocence": So many images race through my mind Whenever I speak your name It seems without you in my life Things will never be the same What happened to those days When I was just a child The Innocence When my life was consumed in you In your love and in your smile What happened to all those times When I always looked to you No matter what happened in my life You always got me through I turn to see your face Yet in my turning it seems The sound has been erased When life does not make sense Who will be there to hold me close When the pieces just don´t fit If I could turn back time and once more hear your voice I would tell you always know I love you and no one can take your place Years may come and go But your memory will never be erased ----- Coincidence? lulz.

Here is the first part of my avatar haiku's. No music. It has Aang, Katara, Toph, and Sokka. I MADE THE HAIKU'S, SO GIVE ME CREDIT! Dear Viacom: Viacom owns everything in this video EXCEPT for what I own. I own the poems and the beginning and ending credits and the middle ones. So basicly they own the screenshots and characters.

A tribute to the art of Haiku, some beautiful examples of world famous Haiku, and my own attempt to write Haiku.

Purpose Haiku. Best viewed with the sound turned up and the lights turned off.
