TECNICA DI GUARIGIONE KAHI KAHI Passiamo ora ad illustrare una tecnica di guarigione chiamata KAHI.Kahi, portando l energia nel punto dello stress, tende a sciogliere i blocchi ener getici, a rilassare le tensioni muscolari e a ripristinare le condizioni armonic he del corpo. A seconda del sintomo può essere eseguita mettendo le mani a breve distanza dal co rpo del soggetto, oppure a diretto contatto. Non cercate di usare l energia personale, non state facendo pranoterapia. Secondo il 3° principio della Filosofia Huna, l energia universale agisce in base al pensier o e viene attirata dalla concentrazione mentale in un determinato punto. Tutto q uello che dovete fare è concentrarvi sui punti del corpo sotto indicati, tenendoci sopra le mani. Ricord ate che in Kahi è più importante quello che fate con la mente, di quello che fate co n le mani. Secondo la medicina tradizionale hawaiana, sparsi lungo il corpo, si trovano dei punti di concentrazione dell energia, che concettualmente corrispondon o ai Chakra dello Yoga. Questi punti si chiamano centri di potere . I centri di pot ere sono 14 e precisamente: 1 - La sommità della testa (corona) 2 - Il centro del petto (timo) 3 - L ombelico 4 - L osso pubico 5/6 - I palmi delle mani 7/8 - Le piante dei piedi 9/10 - La giuntura delle spalle 11/12 - La giuntura delle anche 13 - La settima vertebra cervicale (l osso sporgente alla base del collo) 14 - Il coccige La tecnica si esegue mettendo le dita o il palmo di una mano su un centro di pot ere, e le dita o il palmo dell altra mano sul punto da curare. Mantenendo questa p osizione, iniziate a respirare lentamente e profondamente, concentrandovi sulla mano a contatto col centro di potere, mentre inspirate e sulla mano a contatto c on il punto malato, mentre espirate. Ripetete per 7 / 8 respirazioni. Non pensate di dover trasferire l energia attraverso il respiro, questo serve solo ad aumentare la concentrazione, e neanche attraverso le mani, che servono solo a mantenere l attenzione sui punti interessati. Spostare continuamente la concentrazione da una mano all altra, attira energia nel corpo e si viene a creare un flusso che scorre dal centro di potere alla zona b loccata. Se può aiutarvi immaginate un arcobaleno che collega le due mani. Nello scegliere il centro di potere che volete usare, cercate quello più lontano d alla zona malata, ma che sia anche facile da raggiungere. Questo perché più i due punti sono lontani, più si estende la zona del corpo attravers ata dall energia e il processo acquista efficacia; a patto però di essere in una pos izione comoda, altrimenti la difficoltà di esecuzione può pregiudicare la concentraz ione. Non tentate di influenzare il risultato della guarigione con la volontà e con la v ostra energia, se non volete sentirvi stanchi o raccogliere la malattia che stat e curando. Usate la vostra mente unicamente per mantenere la concentrazione: l ene rgia sa benissimo dove andare e il corpo del paziente sa benissimo come autoripa rarsi. Il vostro impegno consiste solo nel concentrarvi al meglio e avere fiducia nella guarigione. Poiché in base al 2° principio della Filosofia Huna tutto è energeticamen te collegato, ogni volta che lavorate per guarire un altro ricevete anche voi en ergia positiva. Dopo aver respirato per 7 / 8 volte chiedete al paziente come sta. Se sta meglio il processo di guarigione è stato avviato e potete smettere. Altrimenti continuat e per qualche altro ciclo di respirazione. In caso ce ne fosse bisogno, la terap ia può essere ripresa ancora nei giorni seguenti. A volte, dopo il trattamento, il dolore può apparentemente spostarsi in un altro p unto. Questo segnala l affiorare di una più profonda stratificazione del blocco ener getico, che è potuta emergere grazie alla rimozione di quella più esterna. In questo caso ripetete la tecnica sul nuovo punto dolorante. Se il sintomo dovesse persistere, anche dopo vari giorni di trattamento, probabi lmente lo stress è dovuto a paura o rabbia. Inoltre a volte la guarigione ha un effetto solo temporaneo e dopo un po il sinto mo torna a manifestarsi. In tutti questi casi il solo aumento dell energia non è completamente risolutivo e s arà necessario lavorare anche con le tecniche di rielaborazione dei contenuti inco nsci, che innescano quei particolari sintomi. Vi rimando alle tecniche di elaborazione del sogno e del Viaggio Sciamanico. Kahi può essere fatto su sé stessi e sugli altri. KAHI A DISTANZA Kahi può essere fatto anche a distanza, poiché come abbiamo detto, non è indispensabil e usare le mani, l unica cosa che conta è la concentrazione. La dimensione mentale non è limitata dallo spazio e dal tempo, basta pensare a qua lcosa o qualcuno e il contatto è stabilito, inoltre l energia è presente in qualsiasi punto del cosmo e può essere indirizzata in tempo reale verso qualunque obiettivo abbiate scelto. Quindi potete fare Kahi immaginando le vostre mani sul corpo di un altra persona, mentre eseguite effettivamente la respirazione. Questo è particolarmente utile quando il soggetto è lontano, ma può essere fatto anche per voi e per gli altri, tutte le volte che dovete trattare una zona irraggiung ibile, ad es. volete curare la vostra schiena, oppure quando il contatto è controi ndicato, ad es. per curare una ferita. Quando inviate energia a distanza a qualcuno che non è al corrente del vostro inte rvento, scegliete un orario serale o notturno in cui presumete che il soggetto s ia in casa o a riposo. Il sopraggiungere del flusso energetico è maggiormente frui to se si è rilassati, inoltre il rilassamento indotto dall energia potrebbe risultar e controproducente mentre si sta svolgendo un compito che richiede attenzione, c ome ad es. guidare una macchina. ******************************************************************************* dal sito: http://www.huna.org/html/techtouchups.html Technique Touch-ups by Serge Kahili King I have been publishing books since 1974 and most of them contain a lot of techni ques for healing and personal development.

Emotions are waves of energy that carry messages. the body just expresses emotions as they come up. W hen the mind experiences pleasure or pain.

PART TWO: Walking the Path of Instant Healing Chapter Four: Instant Healing with the Power of Words Part Two . A friend once gave me a tape recording of a man speaking on some esoter ic subject. you know how important m agical words are. In former times. but if you don't know the right words to say you're nowhere. a papyrus. My friend thought I should listen to it because it was extremely goo d. As gently as possible I an alyzed this man's talk for my friend. By the way. there is still magic. Imagine a powerful magician with a pointy little beard wearing a black cloak with red lining. They are the major component of magical spells. But if he says "Alakazam!" Wow. but not all the time? How can we make words produce magical instant healing? In this chapter you will learn the answers to all of these questions. Small wonder that the written word. or a piece of paper and tell you about the battles of yesteryear. Most of what he said was rampant. at least. Now. isn't it interesting that the wo rd "spell" means a magical chant as well as the naming of the letters in a word? It's also part of magical tradition that spells have to be memorized or recited from books. l ightning flashes from his fingers. cave paintings and petroglyphs were symbols of magical import w ith meanings that were known only to a select few. they are not part of an oral tradition. This was real clairvoyance! And other papers full of scratches with magical seals or signatures could even give orders that made p eople do things. A person with the secret knowledge of reading could look at scratches on a tablet. if you read sword and sorcery novels. But wh ere there is mystery. and the spoken word derived from it. co uld "see" what lay hidden in the hold of a ship. The rest of the book is about do ing just that. and he says in a commanding voice. my vocabulary is fairly extensive and I studied logic in college. confident speaker. plus a couple of extra sylla bles to give it rhythm.ou can use either to help in healing the other. though some poets and a very few novelists can still evoke it. MAGICAL WORDS If you enjoy fairy tales. As these symbols became more abstract. people who don't know that it's gobbledygook will be im pressed. t he more magical power it is thought to have. were th ought to have such magical power. any one can gather a few newts' eyes and lizards' tongues. "Do what I want!" Not too exciting. could predict the coming of the seasons and even an eclipse. Here was psychokinesis. or influence at a distance! Still other s could reveal the intentions of the gods. The less well known a language is. He raises his arms. Magic of the highest degree. It wasn't that I didn't agree with him. Why do pe ople believe in magical words? Why do they sometimes work. If someone speaks gobbl edygook with confidence. inconsistent nonsense. After all. but it is supposed to produce instant results. or God. and he was amazed that he had been so gull ible. but what he said was nonsense. it lost a lot of its mystery. they seemed to be endowed with even more power. less like pictures.Chapter Four: Section Excerpts: Abracadabra! This is probably the most well known magical word in the world. In Western lore. or if you like m ovies and television series with magicians and wizards. and he randomly thre w in big words for their sound and not their meaning. There was nothing to agree or disagree wit h. It is based on the first four letters of the alphabet. As writing became more popularized. The ma n on the tape was a strong. and therefore its magic. impressive! As shown by the above example. . isn't it?" After a momentary conf usion. Fundamentally. she w ould have been killed instantly. the more quickly a healing will result. words are sounds or arbitrary marks to which you give meaning. You just make the positive aspect more important. The Positive Twist The positive twist is the simplest variation. The words she used kept reinforcing that interpretation and the resul ting focus maintained and even exaggerated her fear and stress. qu ite breathless and very agitated. not awe. You don't try to deny any negative experience. words are still an incredibly useful tool for healing. Even physical symptoms c . a regular member of the group arrived late. Any power that words have is given to them by you. Instead of a tra nquilizer. Suddenly I interrupted and said. all she needed was a shift of focus.If words are said in a certain way or in a certain context. And it's all based on a c hoice of words. I'll describe some variations in more detail. HEALING BY INTERPRETATION Look for the good in the past event or the present result and make that the cent er of attention Once when I was teaching a class. To the degree you can do this. On and on she went about how she had almost bee n killed and she was in a state of great fear and stress. This woman had been locked into an interpretation of the event as a near-death e xperience. her body relaxed. All you do is look for the good in the past event or the present result and make that the center of attention. The more quickly that stress c an be relieved. but the powe r comes from you and not the words. she smiled and looked around. and that's wonderful. aren't you?" "What?" she said. to assist you in sharpening an d sustaining your focus. In considerab le detail she described how a car had come out of a side street and had almost r un right into her. as long as you understand their meaning and/or give them authority. And you won't be able to turn him into a frog. either. That's all there is to it. an d languages are organizations of sounds and marks used by particular groups of p eople. The more clearly and consistently you can focus your at tention on a healing thought or intent. The most powerful use they have. Now let's see how to use ordinary words to get m agical effects. you will relieve a lot of stress that may have accumulated from dw elling on the negative side of whatever happened. Her emotional trauma was healed in less than a minute. It can heal emotional wounds as well as physical ones. or those of a doctor or a hypnotist may have an impact far beyond their meaning because of when and how and by whom they are spoken. It's what I used with the woman me ntioned above. After a few moments she calmed down just enoug h to tell us of a near-accident she'd had on the way to the class. you survived. with a sta rtled look. you're here with us now. The more power you give them. Speak the most powerful magical incantation in ancient Hebrew to a twelve-year-old Chinese schoolboy and you'll get puzzleme nt. "I said. the more quickly and thoroughly the body will respond in a healing way. The words of a praye r or a political speech. is to help you direct your attention. the greater their effect on you. "But you're here and alive. With that said. If she hadn't slammed on the brakes as soon as she had. however. I repeated my statement with an added touch. Reinterpreting experience is one of the most powerful healing methods there is. A few words based on ob servable experience led her away from imagined pain and injury to the experienti al reality of being alive and well. and said "You're right!" And she was happy for the rest of the evening. that can also give t hem more authority than their actual meaning would warrant. then change any other emotionally stimulating words into their neutra l equivalents while keeping the basic facts the same. but they do intensify feelings. Creative Translation The value of an interpretation. He left and I never saw him again. on the other hand. In every case I've found where the effec t of child abuse is an ongoing problem. However. negative emotional reaction in a particular individu al. such words are abstract. I have been called upon to help a good number of people who experie nced child abuse in various forms." Anything can be interpreted in any wa y one chooses. I didn't like it. if it isn't helping the person to be healthier and happier then it doesn't need to be maintained. for healing purposes. To translate something into a skinny description. because the treatmen t of a symptom is usually determined by an interpretation of its cause. but a scientist may say. Where healing is concerned. in how well it aids the he aling. habits. That is." T ranslated into a skinny description. based on his or her own background. The new description may lack the charge of righteous anger. Whenever something happens. You can interpret symptoms and conditions in any way you like My favorite definition of truth is this: "truth is. You can interpret symptoms and conditions in any way you like. each individual decides what is true and wha t is not. it doesn't keep increasing tension. and this may not be enough of a positive focus to effec t a healing. Often the only good that can be found is the fact that they survived.aused by such stress can disappear with amazing speed. "No. first remove all the adjective s you can. If you cannot find a sufficiently strong positive focus. Thus. experience. A fact has been described as an opinion that two or more people agr ee on. Frequently. for healing purposes. He destroyed my self-esteem with his abuse and then he abandoned me. interpretation can be critical. Regardless of whether or not this may be justified. the most useful interpretation of unhealthy symptoms and cond itions I have found is that they are all related to levels of internal stress-ph . but they are reduced to the bare essentials without the loaded words Very often the negative effects of negative events are sustained and aggravated by repeatedly using "loaded" words in describing the events. beliefs. "There is no sky. or you can go a long with the interpretation of a trusted authority." And then a mystic may sa y. it came out like this: "My father touched m e when and where I didn't want him to. in cluding anything you make up. For example. In one typical case. You may say "The sky is blue. they don't actually describe a nything specific." That seems obviou s at first. it is interpreted. and often the interpretati on is treated as a fact itself. By consistent ly using this new description of her experience. another ap proach is to weaken the negative focus. a woman described her experience like this: "My father viol ated me. A "loaded" word is one that provokes a strong. but they are reduced to the bare essentials without the loaded words. The valu e of an interpretation. That is an illusion. is in how well it aids the healing ." If you assume that the univ erse is infinite. but. the sky is colorless and what you see is the blue end of the spectrum of refracted sunlight." The facts are the same. and i nclinations. the woman in question soon (in less than a week) was able to change many habits that had prevented her from mov ing toward the success and happiness she wanted. from a very practi cal point of view. then anything you add to that statement would also be true. The Skinny Description The facts are the same. there is always an emotionally loaded re call of the event or events. but all with the intent to relieve the stress. especially if you did play basketball and did feel good while doing it. The ones we are interested in now are those that help your body to heal itself. the body tries t . Whether you use this interpretation or not. there was a time when I came down with what the doct or diagnosed as advanced pneumonia. The objective is to say them in such a way tha t they become facts. HEALING BY AFFIRMATION Affirmations have the same power as other words . Additionally. or to reinforce facts that are only weakly believed. and spiritual. The body j ust can't relate to them. I also used a lot of other approaches and techniques." "Universal energy" and "perfect in every way" are not part of most people's experience." "My body relaxes like a resting c at. The more quickly you want the effect.they help to keep your attenti on focused on what you want Affirmations are statements you make that sound like facts. A good affirmation calls on the body's memory to evoke or strengthen existing sk ills. "I'm feeling as good as I did when I use to play basketball" is ve ry good. the more often you need to focus on what you want. My body remembers how to move this arm an d it does it well.. . Affirm ations are often treated like magical spells." How many times do you do an affirmation? As many times as it takes to get an eff ect. Some variations on basic affirmative statements follow. remember that you can choose an interpretation that will make you feel helpless or you can choose one that will increase your effectiveness. Similes Wonderful healing effects can come from using similes that call up familiar memo ries." The act of compaii4 such mem ories to effects that you want evokes a body response in the direction of simula ting those effects. It's more like devel oping a new habit of mind that translates into a new habit of the body. but the body understands "feeling better" very wel l. To cite a specific example." "My mind is as clear as my Mom's glass table. and allows you to incorporate any form of treatment in the hea ling process. There is a world of difference in the effect of an aff irmation such as this: "Universal energy is flowing through me now and my body i s perfect in every way" and one such as this: "Every day in every way I'm feelin g better and better. A successful affirmation is one that is incorporated by your body as a belief.. Many affirmations fail because they are too abstract or intellectual. The advantage of this interpretation i s that you can immediately start working on something by whatever means and with whatever help you have available. You can also make reinforcing affirmations: "My body knows how to get rid of ca ncer cells and it's doing so now . mental. A very successful affirmation is one which helps your body to do what it knows ho w to do.ysical. When you compare yourself to a resting cat. I choose to interpret it as the result of se rver internal stress. emotional. but which may or may not be so in the present moment. but they only have the same power as other words-they help to keep your attention focused on what you want. An affirmation is not like taking vitamins once a day. "My mind is as calm as a mountain lake. "I am healthy" is too abstract unless the word "healthy" evokes a very spe cific memory. The final effect was that in three weeks the pneumonia symptoms were completely gone and I felt bett er than I had in years. it tends to relieve a lot fear and helplessness. I still took the antibiotics he prescribed because I knew they would help me relieve the stress. every day. and it certainly won't hurt. th e important thing is that. You may notic e that he used a negative in every sentence. Rapidisms A rapidism is a type of affirmation that consists of repeating a short word or p hrase over and over again very rapidly until a change occurs. asthma was gone. What they probably mean is that saying "I don't have asthma" is like saying "Don't think of a pink elephant. with intensive repetition. full of life and strength The body responds powerfully to imagery. A metaphor is a phrase that describes a sy mbol. Anything that has qualities or characteristics that you admire can be used for metaphori cal healing. I want you to jazz up the immune system. Certain people have trouble wit h affirmations because they feel as though they are lying to themselves.

In workshops I have people sile ntly repeat "I'mfeelinggood" for one minute and they are always amazed at the re sults. but in theory it should help. stronger." for about five minutes and my hands got toasty war m. which is silly because it hears everything. "Okay bod. which li kens one thing to another. Get those lymphocytes in there and clea r out the rubbish. full of life and strength. "Myhandsarewarm-myhandsarewarm-my handsarewarm-myhandsarewarm.o relax like the cat. Metaphors I am a tree. Even so. or more pleasurable the memory. If you interpret healing affirmat ions as guidelines and think you are trying to help your body to get well." But he kept it up." In order not to think of it you have to think of it. and at the end of that time his. the better the response. Some people say that the subconscio us doesn't hear negatives. I don't know how well it would work on major illnesses. I imag ined a fire in a fireplace and said to myself. full of life and strength. I am a tree. for six months. all day long. that' s "good" and it will work. They may ask. "How can I say I'm feeling good when I'm not?" This is a problem with interpretation and intent. The first time I u sed this was on a chair lift at a ski resort when my hands were freezing. Radical Affirmation With intensive repetition. If you in terpret an affirmation as a lie and think you are trying to trick your body into getting well. Maybe that's why it took six months for the man's body to get the message. I first learned this from a man who used it for his asth ma. The better." can stimulate the body to start making itself the human equivalent of a strong and healthy tree. even wi th the most simple kinds of statements. and words are excellent tools for evoki ng images that will assist a healing. HEALING BY DIRECTION Directions will work better if they evoke some kind of visual image. A metaphor like this: "I am a tree. that's "bad" and it won't work. Finally he got so frustrated he decided to tell himself "I do not have asthma! I never have had asthma! I never will have asthma!" He broke a ll the rules of "good affirmations. a "lie" became a truth. my leaves receive energy from the sun. Since then I've used it for a lot of minor ailments as well as emotional stat es and mental qualities. a "lie" became a truth Radical affirmations take a lot of courage because you'll be saying something th at is clearly not true. and it works very well. most effectively in the form of a memory enhanced by imagination. My roots receive nourishment from the earth." . That statement deserves a little more attention. your body will respond faster than you thought possible. If you nee d any supplies just ask. giving time f or the image to form itself. onset of symptoms. Think "ice melt ing. Of course. You know what to do. HEALING BY BLESSING Blessings are words that have the effect of increasing one's focus of awareness or intent." They are really just brief descriptions of evocative moments. and the body responds to them by creating the associated feelings and sensations. One time my wife began to get serious f lu symptoms and she said. instead of giving your body a statement. muscle pain or stiffness . Examples are: water flowing rain dripping cool breezes warm sunshine ice melting snow falling birds singing lions roaring They have the best effect when said slowly with a pause afterward. but you can be more creative than that. back pain. Get those lymphocytes in ther e (you can imagine them as vacuum cleaners or anything else) and clean out the r ubbish. body! I don't have time for that. For more specific effects. "O kay. nausea. "Heal !" or "Get well!" or "Feel Good!" The really amazing thing is that to the degree you give your directions with confident expectations and right at the. I would have. I want you to jazz up the immune system. In this case. the more it does of wha t you appreciate and the better it does it Affirmational blessings are like compliments. you can add more imagery: "birds singi ng in a garden when the sun comes out after a rain. directions will work better if they evoke some kind of visual image.Directions are commands. and make sure those antibodies clean up and keep out the invaders. bod. so y ou just stay healthy!" And the symptoms disappeared instantly. As with affir mations. You are probably already familiar with the idea if you've ever told yourself to "Relax!" or "Stay cairn!" You could also say. Short directions are fine. Just get the j ob done. Call on the brain for anything you need. too. my wif e is a strong woman and I'm not surprised that her body obeyed without hesitatio n. Affirmational Blessings The more you consciously appreciate what your body does. Indirect Directions Indirect directions are simply pairs of words designed to direct your body's att ention to memories or images that will help produce beneficial sensations and fe elings. you tell it what to do and. I wan t an immune system that's in good working order. or instructions that you give to your body. Many times m y body has started to produce cold symptoms. while you hold your attention on an area of tension in your body. how to do it. focus the consci ous attention on a particular part of the body while doing this. but they are not quite the same as either of those.

Can you use blessings for emotional healing? Yes. "Hey mind. itsy bitsy movement in the direction of the healing that you want. If you do t ake a break you go back to the blessing as soon as you can. It may seem a bit strange at first to say "thank yo u" to your own body for doing something that is natural to it. "Bon Voyage!" is a directional blessing. and compliments feel good. the world. tiny. coo perating with medicine or other intervention. and "g et well" cards are a form of directional blessing for health. In a variation I call "s aturation blessing" you bless every good thing you can remember and every good t hing around you with. but it works. ." To your mind you might say. You don't have to limit yourself to blessing your body. "Hey! You lost two pounds." The exact wording is up to you. so it will respond to a blessing or compliment that you give t o anyone or anything. The effect of this is to lower mental stress." and so on. . and admiration (you sure are a cle ver body). breathing. and I used it for myself to heal a knee injury in less than fif teen minutes. This might even seem stranger th an talking to your body.tion (thank you). as is "Bon appetit" and "Enjoy!"

One man I introduced to this technique was able to rid himself of a long-time pattern of asthma in l ess than a week. keep it up!" Praise is its own reward.. either. Essentially. but the essential part is to tell your body or mind what you want it to do. To use this for healing. so that . you praise every single. it's good that you're able to forgive that person at leas t a little bit. . You can bless your body for regr owing cells. It is as if your body takes every compliment you give pers onally. or other people and for any positive displays of mental abilities or faculties. but your body really does like to be praised . and this is always the best way to train animals and children. even if you never figure out who's doing the blessing. However. thereb y making emotional conflicts easier to resolve. thank you for noticing the be auty of those flowers." To your body you might say. In showing appreciation. you are rewarding good behavior. a great deal of experience by a great many people has shown that the more you consciousl y appreciate what your body does. and feels better and does better because of it. and you rigorously refrain from eve r. Just as your body respon ds to a metaphor.. don't be afraid to be extravagant. and whatever you can acknowledge a s a good action on its part. acknowledgment (good job!). "Settle down and keep your attention on the present moment so we can feel more peaceful and t hink more clearly. I know it sounds peculiar. To apply this kind of blessing for self-healing in the most effective way. . but over a period of time (determined by how often you do it) you will start to notice definite improvements.
