In ancient times lomi would go on for hours or even days. Then the Kahuna, a healer, and the recipient would go to the ocean to be restored by the gods. They would drink herbal remedies, be pounded, pinched, rolled, and sleep on the beach wrapped in kapa cloth(a traditional cloth made from pounded bark). The recipient would then be covered in sand and warm stones and watched over all night by their family. In the morning, there would be more ocean therapy and lomi. The process would continue for three to five days. Upon completion of the ritual, the kahuna would consult with the Spirit of the body. If all was in balance, Spirit would speak to one of the Kahunas and the lomi was "pau” (finished). Huge celebrations would ensue, and all the village would come to witness the re-united body and soul. A luau would mark the recipients complete body and spirit reunification. The reunion of body and Spirit would affect the entire village. One person’s healing was a healing for the entire tribe!
Two Years In The Making, HAC's Transformational Breath Master Track Takes Off With 25 Onboard3/17/2017 HAC Takes The Plunge Into Combining Breath With Bodywork To Build A Better Wellness Professional The excitement was palpable at The Healing Arts Center on Thursday, March 16 as one-by-one all twenty-five students took their places in an very large meditation circle. The River Room was packed. Some students had just graduated from HAC's massage therapy training program the week before. One had graduated from The Healing Arts Center in 1997. Some had trained in massage therapy in other schools, while several were not massage therapists at all. As one HAC graduate put it, "you might come to The Healing Arts Center's massage therapy program for vocational training so that you can get a job, but you come to this class because want to go as deep as you can. This class is for the committed." And so it is. Twenty weeks. 100 hours of instruction in a breath process that changes lives and blows consciousness wide open.
For HAC headmaster, Tom Tessereau, this is the culmination of decades of training with some of the pioneers of breathwork like Judith Kravitz. Tom is an avid practitioner of breathwork and considers it to be his most important health practice. In his career, he has taught thousands how to release emotional trauma and gain deep personal insight into parts of consciousness not easily accessible even for accomplished meditators. The health effects are outstanding. As Tom likes to say, "no one ever died from breathing to much." Basic Transformational Breathwork is a required subject in the Advanced Techniques course, part of HAC's legendary massage therapy program. The Reiki Mastery Course on August 6 & 7 |
The Healing Arts Center is well known in our community for Reiki training. Reiki is part of both our massage therapy training program and our community building courses. This means that many times a year we are helping people create compassion and healthy touch in their lives. As some may already know Reiki is an ancient healing tradition that was rediscovered by a man named Mikao Usui in the 1920's. Reiki training involves something called an "attunement" which is designed to activate Reiki energy within the student. Through attunement and instruction Reiki is passed down from one teacher to the next. Once someone has completed the final training course the student can then become an instructor. This is what the Reiki Mastery course is all about, training participants to give both the attunements and the instructions to others. |
Hot stone massage is a natural therapy in which warmed stones are positioned on parts of the client's body to maximize the therapeutic benefit. The Hot Stone Meridian Massage class combines thermotherapy with the artful application of pressure via heated stones along the body's energetic pathways (meridians). The purpose of this technique is to balance out the autonomic nervous system by strengthening the parasympathetic nervous system. |

Reiki for Everyone Continues to Bring Compassionate Touch to Our CommunityThe last weekend of this month, the Healing Arts Center will be offering a two day workshop called "Reiki for Everyone." This course is being offered to the general public to promote compassion and wellness in our community. It is based on the same material that is taught to our massage therapy students in our Reiki One class, but "Reiki for Everyone" will be taught without any need for massage therapy training. Reiki is considered to be a powerful tool for transformation and internal development. Participants will learn to deliver a basic Reiki treatment which can help create a loving connection and help provide well-being to friends and family. |
