KAHUNA
ALOHA LIFE CENTRE

Full of vitality and allowing, Kahuna was developed by Hawaiian Elder and Kahu Abraham Kawai'i. 

​

Honouring the body's innate desire to settle into its own experience, this old system of what is known as loving touch can often be experienced as a body prayer or blessing. The cool yet hot, earthy yet airy strokes bring quite the powerful variety of exactly what we need in the moment; somehow it still manages to be subtle and never "too much". I feel it's perfectly suitable for those working with a therapist for the context of trauma healing.

There are over and underbody movements, as well as over combined with underbody movements, and joint mobilisations; Kahuna asks for hands, forearms and elbows to perform flowing strokes of varying depths according to intuition, client-oriented intention and deep listening, allowing the release of myo-fascial and energetic blockages. The usual response is feeling very tethered to one's body and / or light and energised, however this body of work can deliver us things we don't expect, as with greater life. Whatever the experience, the invitation is for us to re-train our capacity to be in deep presence with our Experience.

Hawaiian culture and teacher-inspired music usually accompanies as each session becomes a dance with what is present and what is being asked for.
