01 Ho'opaipai - Calling the Wave

This episode is on the Four Declarations of the Halau as described in Harry's book. They form powerful sentences that are aimed at setting and holding a space by connecting us to source and nurture so that we, as practitioners, are able to step into our form of service. Together with Harry, we are going through each one of the declarations and unravel the meaning behind the words. We will familiarise ourselves with critical concepts of native Hawaiian views on the three selves, healing, and the practitioner-receiver relationship. These declarations are meant to be utilised, so we hope that the discussion of them will help you in making them your own. Visit our website laulimalomi.com for more on native Hawaiian teachings.

“I wanna tell you something. People who are ‘not enough’, if they really believe it, they’re takers. People who have experienced being enough, they’re receivers. What’s the difference between a taker and a receiver? Gratitude. What’s the difference between someone who’s not enough and someone who’s enough… to touch? They’ve experienced grace and want to return gratitude. That’s what I try to remember people when they’re trying to get into the mood of Laulima. It’s like… at what point you’ve got to understand… you’re getting more than you’re giving. This is the moment to make it even.”Laulima or the art of many hands forming a safety net dives into the incredible simplicity and potency of holding a body in times of sickness, suffering, and transitioning. As a native Hawaiian healing art, Laulima is an expression of circular culture. But, as Harry says himself, the art itself does not belong to Hawaiians, it belongs to humans. Whether you're a pracitioner or lay person, it is a good time to claim this natural inclination of ours to lay hands on someone - or ourselves - and add attention.

Ho'opaipai O Kenalu - this is the original chant of Hawaiian surfers to the ocean. Calling the perfect wave in order to feed it our gratitude. As such, calling and feeding is a central marker to Hawaiian teaching, because it gets us to interact with our surroundings. How can this concept actually be utilised in practice? In this episode, we'll discuss how calling and feeding can expand our understanding and observation of nature and healing processes.
