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.
Early visitors to Hawaii noticed and commented on this healing art. In 1803 Archibald Menzies wrote, “A number of natives placed themselves around us to lomilomi and pinch our limbs, an operation which we found on these occasions, very lulling and pleasing when gently performed.” In 1819 a Mr. Frecient wrote, “Two females about 40 years old knelt down on each side of me and squeezed and rubbed my limbs with all their might.
All the parts of the body were pressed between the hands, going from the arms to the legs and from the thighs to the shoulders. Here it is employed as a means of making people sleepy.”
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 and practiced in secrecy, passed down only within the Hawaiian community (ohana), through “iki maka lihilihi a maka alawa”, which means to do by observation and insight.
“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.”
The tradition of “iki maka lihilihi a maka alawa” was noted in a Board of Health report in 1896 by Charles Peterson, M.D., who wrote, “The practice of Kahunas (sic) in this district is, I am confident, quietly carried on. The Hawaiians will not expose them, and investigation only elicits falsehoods and assertions of ignorance. Nearly every group has its family Kahuna, and Honolulu furnishes the shrewder ones upon occasion.
I have frequently met with the evidence of the presence of these mystery workers, and in the circle about the sick bed, easily noted the one with the power. However under no inducement will they give any knowledge of the proximity of any such. The belief in the power of the Kahuna, although denied, is shared in, I am positive, by all classes of Hawaiians, some whites, even. I am assured they are allowing their ministrations in their families. The Hawaiian will assent to anything proposed by the foreigner, and at the same time continue his belief in his Kahuna and his ancient gods.”
It wasn’t until the 1970’s that the laws were changed and Hawaiians were free to pursue their native heritage and spiritual traditions, without fear of punishment. This freedom rekindled a flame in the heart of many native people, and led to a resurgence of interest in their cultural heritage.
Hawaiian elders were sought out and questioned about their knowledge, and grass-roots organizations sprang up around them. In 1973, Auntie Margaret Machado, a respected kupuna (elder) from the Big Island, decided to share her family’s knowledge by teaching it to anyone who had a sincere desire to learn, Hawaiian or not. She felt is was time for the ancient healing gift of lomilomi to be felt throughout the world.
While Auntie Margaret was criticized by many in the Hawaiian community for revealing the secrets of lomilomi, it was through her efforts that lomilomi was brought to the forefront of a resurgence of interest in native Hawaiian healing.

If you have been around the website and blog world for any length of time you are probably starting to realize how important quality back links are to your website, blog, ebusiness or ecommerce site. Back links are links that point back to your website or blog and will generally be the determining factor deciding if your site gets a little bit of traffic or a ton of it. We all know that without visitors a website or blog is nothing more than some pretty pictures sitting in the middle of what I like to call the Internet Graveyard!
First, you should know there are many ways to going about getting them but at this time we will discuss the most efficient ways. Begin by signing your blog or website up to social marketing websites such as Digg, Facebook, Twitter, Stumble Upon, etc. Each of those companies rank high with Google and Alexa’s search engines. This is the easy part. Next the grunt work begins. You’ll need to begin making comments on blogs and Interent forums that are related to your sites content. Use a tool such as Comment Kahuna to determine the page rank of the blogs and whether or not they carry a nofollow policy or not. Otherwise your efforts will result in little progress. Make sure your comments are helpful to the website you are commenting on for two reasons. One is because if you just write something stupid and meaningless the administrator will disapprove the comment and second because people read comments. If you have wrote something intelligent they will click on your name and visit your website. Always make sure you enter your blog or website address when entering your comments otherwise the back link will not exist. The final thing you can do is begin writing quality articles to article directories such as this one. Each article you write will leave a back link to your website. You could also write articles and ask permission of other owners or bloggers to post them to their high ranking sites. People are always looking for good content especially when it comes to Internet Marketing.
If you really want tons of traffic it’s probably a good idea to get somewhere between 4,000 to 10,000 of them. Some people will tell you that quality is better than quantity and to a certain degree I agree, however, If you have thousands of quality back links you can’t help but having thousands of visitors stumbling over each other to get to your site. Just use a link checker to check the amount of back links your competition has. You will see some as high as 150,000 or so. If you could add 5 to 10 a day you should have a booming and very profitable website in about 7 months to a year.
If you don’t have 7 months to a year to build all these back links for yourself and you need a real alternative to generate large amounts of traffic fast then visit my website here.

Syndicate Kahuna is a very powerful way of maximizing the impact of your web presence across the Internet. It has long been recognized that blog content, when presented and formatted in certain ways, is viewed by the major search engines as an authoritative source of information. Hence, focused and well produced blogs are likely to be referred to by the search engines when people look for related terms on the Internet.
Jason Potash and the people at Syndicate Kahuna have unveiled a strategy that allows you to syndicate your content to well respected blogs within a network that they have themselves compiled.
If you have your own blog, you will already be well-aware of the extraordinary power potential, and you will be doing your best to keep it updated with targeted and focused material, articles, videos and photographs. While there are many services that will help you to “bookmark” your blogs, thus informing people of the existence of your posted content, Syndicate Kahuna goes much further than this. This exceptional service will automatically syndicate your content to a maximum of 90 blogs within a carefully selected group of relevant sites, out of nearly 8,000 well-respected blogs within their constantly expanding network.
Within these thousands of blogs, your posts will be automatically published together with links back to your site, and as the posts are being displayed on affinity sites – in other words by keyword match – these back links will be seen as having further authority by the search engines, helping you to boost your rankings significantly.
Syndicate Kahuna is all about automation, and its syndication engine will distribute your content, but while doing so it always ensures that it is sent out as a trickle rather than as a blast. When building links it is best to do so gradually, and this service will ensure that your posts are distributed over a period of time, so all you need to do is fill out a few web forms and then the rest will be taken care of for you.
To ensure that your posts have even more power, not only does the system rotate between blogs giving you a more natural distribution, but you can also choose to add content variations using their built in tools, to ensure that things like headings or titles are varied too.
As an extra bonus, Syndicate Kahuna has recently introduced a “Web 2.0 Co-Op” system, which adds considerable power to their already phenomenal system. As their community includes 1,300 or more webmasters like you, they have created a system where the other members are prompted to comment on your selected blogs, bookmark some of your posts and engage in the power of social marketing for you. This reciprocal process is cutting-edge, and it’s currently offered as a special add-on to Syndicate Kahuna members.
As literally hundreds of new websites make their appearance every day, it’s essential to utilise the most powerful marketing tools available to ensure that you’ve got a fighting chance against your competition. Syndicate Kahuna should be a fundamental tool in your arsenal.

http://commentkahuna.com/SE… A brief overview of Comment Kahuna, free software to build backlinks from theme related blogs and other types of website.
Sunday, October 4th, 2009
If you have been blogging or writing posts on your business website for some months, i assume that you would agree to the fact that the best organic way of bringing more traffic to your website is by reading other blogs related to your site or niche and dropping sensible comments. If in case you want to have a targetted traffic to your website then it is important that you select only websites based on your niche and subscribe to their RSS so that you know when ever they update their post.
By leaving proper comments on a website regularly, you not only build your reputation but also invite readers to your website if they find your comment interesting. For example, you may or may not agree to what the content of a particular post says and if in case you find something which is arguable then it is suggested that you leave a comment which will induce the visitors to click on your comment and visit the blog.
If you are looking for a simple process of dropping comments on related websites then comment kahuna is the ideal software for you. It is a completely FREE software and i have been using this for a while now. It is based on a user friendly platform that any new user can easily understand the operation. Their website also has an online video tutorial which explains you how to use this software to leave comments on selected websites.
I would like to highlight some of the key features of this software that i found very interesting:
It has an option to select only the do follow comment blogs which will help you gain a backlink to your website everytime you leave a comment.
They have a wide list of categories with websites listed inside them. You also have the PageRank of their blog displayed there by enabling you to comment on high PR blogs and websites.
You can create a profile with your email, web URL and name before you start commenting on sites. Now on the comment page, you don’t really need to type the name, URL and e-mail address every time as there is an auto fill feature which can do the job for you.
You can save your work anytime and retrieve later.
