In Maui, the special Lemurian healing energies which percolate up through the soil feel like the last little piece of Eden left on the planet. Perhaps this is the reason why Conde Naste Traveler's readership recently rated Maui the most popular travel destination in the world. Palm trees and beautiful sand beaches predominate on the coastline, just as in the Caribbean and other beautiful islands, but in Maui, the energy of balance and tranquility is so very present that the stresses of life melt away and lovers old and new come into synchronicity in a unique, nonverbal way.
This is a power spot for healing and renewal, much like Sedona, Stonehenge, and the Pyramids. All subtle energy healers must make a point of visiting the healing places of Maui.
People who are "burnt out" by stressful living come from all over the world to take an "energy bath" in ancient balancing energies on the tip of the sunken continent of Lemuria, in Maui. As the weight of the world lifts, the rhythm of the sea and the vibrancy of Haleakele volcano, the "house of the sun," can be felt as a physical and Spiritual presence beneath your feet. You wake to the sound of the surf outside your lanai (terrace) at sunrise, inhale the perfume of ripe mangos and take an early morning stroll along the sugar sand beaches in Kihei. People walk in union with unseen energies; their energy fields (auras) are enhanced and expanded and shine vibrantly, in renewed health and wholeness, regardless of age or circumstance. Discord and disharmony is nonexistent and it's rare to see a person out of balance or someone involved in argument.
Ordinary people whom you meet along the beach are as open, relaxed, and happy as lifelong meditators, tai chi practitioners, and others who are living exactly in the moment, not hurrying time (or lingering in resentments from the past). Spines are fluid in motion, not stiff or bent, just savoring the experience of the early morning.
You come to realize that the entire island of Maui is an energy sanitarium for burnt out people! Residents of the island walk in the same energies of visitors.
On Maui's other edge, you discover untouched tropical rain forests, rushing waters, black volcanic sand and the seven the sacred pools of Hana. The 35 mile journey across fifty bridges to Hana slows your pace and prepares you for the sacred site, where the seven pools are fed by pristine waterfalls spilling down to the crashing surf.
There is legendary healing power here, power recognized by the Hawaiian shamans, the Kahunas, who still exist today in a sacred lineage.
Hawaii is the birthplace of Reiki in the western world. Hundreds of thousands of subtle energy workers trace their lineage to a Japanese American Reiki Master named Hawayo Takata who was born at the turn of this century in Hawaii.
Hawayo Takata journeyed to Japan in the 1930s, receiving Reiki healing treatments for several serious ailments. We are told she received a complete healing of all of her conditions. Then, she prevailed upon Reiki Master Chujiro Hayashi to teach her the recovered secrets of this 19th century Japanese laying on of hands Spiritual energy healing technique. Until Mrs. Takata brought Reiki and her teacher, Dr. Hayashi, to the Hawaiian islands, Reiki was virtually unknown outside of Japan.
Reiki is a self-empowering energy healing technique which is quickly and easily learned and can be used every day to achieve balance and relieve stress. Once Reiki is learned, the capacity to pass healing energy through the hands is permanently opened. Master levels are all about utilizing higher the vibrations of Reiki energies and empowering others to use Reiki.
