I’ve been working on a HUGE project for the last 6 months. It’s the latest step in my journey to express ancient Hawaiian teachings of our Kupuna in a modern world.
At times, I’ve been overwhelmed.I’ve been pouring my heart and soul into the Ho’omana Lomi Lomi ‘Ohana Online – writing copy, recording training videos, creating emails and everything else that goes on in a launch.
For me, it looks like this:
I plan a day to start filming. I get all dressed up, put my makeup on, fix my hair and walk outside with my camera. And it starts pouring down rain.
I start recording a training session, get really nervous, do about 16 takes and decide, “I just don’t want to film today”. Game over.
I think I’ll do a recording tomorrow…and then baby Kahele gets sick.
I schedule a video shoot, and my model doesn’t show up.
We push the launch date back. And back again.
And then yesterday, right as I’m about to go on LIVE camera…my tech goes out. Arrrgh!!This project is a shared passion of my sister – our class coordinator – and me. As we both have invested time and energy into this new venture, all our stuff starts coming up. We start bickering over silly little things. It feels like elementary school again with me wanting to please and wishing to gain her approval.
And then the little voice in my head reminds me, “When the timing is perfect. When the timing is right. When all elements align… THEN it would be the right time for the launch because my students need this. DON’T GIVE UP!!”
Breathe.
If Ke Akua and the Ancestors are in charge of this project, it will flow seamlessly. Just reschedule for another time until it feels like the right timing.
Sometimes when we take on too much, it feels like nothing’s working out. When that happens, take a deep breath. Really Listen.
The Ho’omana Lomi Lomi ‘Ohana Online launched today.
It’s what my Lomi Lomi students have been asking for. A way to connect with the way they felt while they were at Ho’omana as they continue in the work. A way to refine their skills. A gathering of soul support to be in the Aloha bubble that we all reminisce about.
I’ve been expanding too.
One of the biggest challenges to creating the ‘Ohana Online is having a classroom without having real life people. It was nerve racking to peer into a little silver box with a miniature camera. It felt like speaking into the void.
Sharing the the extraordinary energies of the people gathered in the classroom is one of my favorite aspects of teaching!
I’ve come to realize the little hole in the computer, or tablet, or iPhone, or lens of the camera, is potentially a worldwide audience of thousands. People who will benefit from the teachings of the Ancestors. Lomi Lomi ‘Ohana who will be inspired to take the next step in their healing journey.
This put me at ease.
I was able to find a place in myself that could connect to find YOU. All the way across the ethernet. Through the world wide web. To get these teachings out. So you can use them to integrate these teachings right in your own home.
Whenever you are faced with a large project that you’re passionate about. And it feels like distractions are keeping you from your goal…
Know that as long as you keep your eye on that goal, no’ono’o pono – practice positive outcome thinking-, then you too will get to the finish line.
All of your Guides and Guidance and Ancestors and Spirit can also move through you to bring those projects that you’re working on, that your world needs, into fruition.

Aloha Jeana….as always great work!!!! .Even though I am not a Lomi or massage practitioner, I would love to continue to practice and understand so many of the underlying principles and ways in my personal life. Does it make sense to become part of this online group?
Aloha Angel! This first release of the ‘Ohana online is only for graduates of our Ho’omana Lomi Lomi training courses. That may change, so please stay tuned.
In the meantime, we can stay connected with the Ho’omana teachings on our Blog, on Ho’omana Lomi Lomi Training Facebook page and through our weekly newsletter. We hope to see you for one of our Ho’omana courses here on Maui or in Europe very soon!
Aloha Angel, I think that connecting on FB, continuing with the blog posts, downloading the 10 mana Ola practices for empowerment and online offerings like Ho’oponopono are really the best of you have not taken our trainings. I will continue to share Ike but created online Ohana so
People could have a way to review and practice techniques. Love you
