For Pixie Pam

So sad.  She gave me such joy to see her happy and in love.
Aloha James

Oh Tracey,
Dear little Pammie.  She had found such beautiful happiness, I wish she had it for longer.  Such shocking news.  I will pule for Ged as well, to lose two loves seems cruel.
Thanks for passing on the news about Pammie.
Love to you. Kalena

Aloha Tracey

Thank you.   They were so beautiful on the afternoon with Kumu Brenda – please pass my loving thoughts to Ged. Aloha. Kate

Aloha Tracey,

Such terrible news, I am speechless.
I will of course add her to my prayers in the weeks to come.
Malama pono, Donna

Aloha Tracey,

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news.  As I did not know her very well I do remember her glow and amazing smile.
My prayers are with all those who were close to her.
Big Hug, Elisa

I just read your email and saddened by the news – I am in disbelief- beautiful Pammie – feeling quite emotional – what an amazing woman she was and how blessed we were to have known her. My love to you, Teresa.

Dear Tracey,

That is tragic news and my thoughts are with you also at this time.  I know how dear Pam was to you.  A very special lady that will be sadly missed.
Blessings to Pam, Ged and also yourself.
Aloha, Donna x

Aloha Tracey

Thanks you so much for sharing the tribute to Pammie. I so vividly  remember how wonderful her energy was when I saw her at the gathering  with Brenda. I am taking a copy of the tribute with me to Hawai’i and  will say a prayer, and everytime I see a rainbow I will think of her.

Thinking of you and the ohana at this time. Liz

Aloha Tracey,
thank you for sending this.
I remember how inspiring I thought she was when I met her, and how light she seemed.
What a beautiful being.
Mahalo. Karissa.

This is so beautiful, thank you for honouring Pammie in this way.  What an amazing being she was, and how lucky, were those that  met her and those that had the privilege of having her treat them.

Life is strange sometimes, and i would never have suspected that Pammie’s time to cross the rainbow was now….but obviously her work was done here……even though it is sad and difficult for us to understand….the bigger picture is she has completed her physical life and is moving into the other amazing realm – wow!! Pammie’s spirit will live in each of us….for her generosity, her “young at heart” attitude and her willingness to learn new things.  She has been an inspiration.

all my love . Teresa

Aloha Tracey

My heart and prayers go out to Pammie’s family, friends and everyone who loved her. It is so horrible and sad for those she leaves behind as she leaves a big hole in so many people’s lives. I’m sure Pammie will continue to inspire and to love and to make a difference on whichever journey she has continued on.

Big Aloha to you,
Bianca

Aloha, Tracey, et. al.

My pu’uwai is greatly saddened by the news of the passing of our precious friend, Pammie.   She is very special, and at your gathering in December, she touched both Robert and I so deeply with her bubbling over joy and happiness with her love, Ged.   It just doesn’t seem fair that she should be taken so soon, does it?

Nonetheless, she blessed all with her sweet soul, and we release her to the light that she was able to shine on all of us and know that she is at peace and with us still.    Me ke aloha pau’ole, dear Pammie.

We were deeply hit at a personal level, not only because we had such a sweet connection in Melbourne, with their sharing with
us and our sharing with them our having just reunited and having found happiness at this age. How much Pammie and Ged
related to us and how we all prayed to live long and happy lives as couples given a second chance at happiness in our senior years.
Our hearts go out to Ged, who was so enjoying Pammie’s blossoming and his growing thirst for more of what made her so vital.

Please know that we send so much love to all who knew her and want our prayers and wishes entwined with those ofher ohana.   It is difficult right now to try to write words that can explain our feelings.  Sometimes we cannot understand,and we just have to accept, and this is one of those times, isn’t it?

Extra love to you, Tracey, as I know how close you felt to Pammie.  Wish we could hold you and comfort you in person,and we send distance healing to you.   We are grateful to have met your dear friend.

Aloha nui,
Kumu Brenda and Robert

I decided last night that today would be a good day for sorting the paperwork, financials, fine-tuning of sightseeing for the Cultural Immersion Retreat.

That will still happen a little later, however, I awoke this morning with this running through my mana’o which means I have to attend to this 1^st to get it off my plate or they’ll just keep prodding me. So as always, easier to surrender and do it than to resist. ( you know that old saying ‘what you resist persists!’) .                                        So, be in Manawa    ( now is the moment of power), do it and then Mahalo Pau, thankyou it’s done, finished.

I’m sure I don’t have to remind you of the speeding up of things and powerful energies as we enter 2012. What a doozy the last full moon was!

Now is the time to take a good look at ourselves, our words, actions, beliefs, thoughts, behaviours, way of being, relationships and ask  ‘ how is  this serving me?’ Is this keeping me in aloha and pono or pilikia?                                                                  As Dr Phil would say ‘ How’s that working for you?”

Everyone has a different journey, different experiences, different story. The western mindset makes excuses and tries to put everyone with the same ‘condition’ in to a particular box of cause and effect.                                                                                        Well, here’s a newsflash. There is no box. It’s called choice.

I know I’ve just offended a few people  and a few of you are going ‘oh, sure but….’ No buts. You create your own reality, I create mine by thoughts, beliefs, actions, reactions, perception,  and so the list goes on. You can be at cause in your life or be a victim. The choices everyone makes are none of my business, only in that I want to see the planet happier and healthier and want to see each of you shining your light to the fullest and being all you are here to be.

I had a new client the other week who as he said had a gift for healing but wasn’t getting any clients. His languaging was incredibly negative, he was in a job he hates, mea mea mea! ( blah, blah, blah!) . His energy was, let’s just say pretty ordinary. My first question to him was ‘ what do you do to clear your energy’ and keep it clear?’ His response was along the lines of not believing in that. So my next question was ‘ do you clean your teeth and have a shower every day?’. The penny started to drop for him. I then asked him’ would you want to lay on that massage table and have you put your hands on yourself for ‘healing’ at the moment, with the way you are?’ He got it then. He didn’t like it, however he got it. Now, whether he takes any action is again none of my business.

The other things that get a lot of ‘oh but’s’ in reply are financial investments in further healing, education, personal- development and secondly health/fitness/weight matters.  And these are by people who have trained with me and ‘read the books’. Knowing things intellectually and then putting them in to action, doing the hana, cannot be separated. Are you walking the talk always or only when convenient?

20 some years ago when I was doing my psychotherapy post-grad, Chonic Fatigue was becoming the diagnosis of choice in the medical profession. The medical name for CFS is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis – M.E. In psychotherapy and metaphysical realms this was ME- Many Excuses.                                                                                      I’m simply using this by way of example, so don’t shoot the messenger. My question to anyone with this as with any ‘condition’ is  to ask yourself WIIFM. -what’s in it for me? Ie what are the benefits of having this condition. Be honest with yourself.

Some of you recently had the profound honour of hearing someone speak of their 20plus year journey of Living with HIV. Is she someone who could have had Many Excuses to be a victim and blame, you bet. Does she, absolutely not.                        Does she do ho’oponopono every day? Sure does. Does she choose to get out of bed every morning and fuel her kino and mana’o with positive, healthy food and and thoughts, again sure does. Is she still alive today because of  these choices- absolutely.

I recently had the honour of  having another new client come to me via something that was a very sad and profound event in her life. She is someone who also inspires me with hope for the planet. She hasn’t done any ‘formal’ spiritual training, however each session she has asked me for some techniques she can do herself,  to help heal and release the grief and other emotions. She does what I share diligently with her meditation, ho’oponopono and way she views things and the shift in her energy is a joy to witness. She’s doing the hana and making the choices to kala (release) and heal, and not doing M.E.

I could keep rambling with many other examples however will simply end with this.

With the New Year upon us ,what is it you want release and then manifest in your lives. Is it time to replace that old, worn-out, stretched tape recording. Is it time to move fully from pilikia to pono and aloha. Remember the 2 p words cannot co-exist in the same place at the same time. You are either 1 or the other.

Make the choice. What do you choose to carry in to 2012?

Last week I was  listening to John Keawe, staring at the computer with my mana’o going “ it’s months since you wrote a blog”.
Staring at it ‘cos unusually for this Gemini, nothing was coming.
what did come in was another sentence  of “ get one of the others to write something”.
Sooo, when I asked for a bit more info, it was for one of the Halau to write anything about anything. Renee was the 1st to put fingers to keyboard and share her mana’o …….

Aloha Kakou,
As we transition into spring, I ask myself what is it that I have learned thru the winter months about being pono and maintaining pono in each moment..I have learned that being pono is a constant process of surrender, forgiveness and release and that the pono journey is one of self discovery and mastery on all levels.

To be pono means to be consistently choosing excellence and higher understanding…it is to wake each day with a deep sense of love and respect for all that we see, taste, touch, feel and experience. Being pono means speaking with tenderness, to ourselves and all our brothers and sisters. Being pono means refraining from gossip and allowing ourselves to be joyous around others regardless of what they choose…But also to be compassionate without taking on their lessons as our own. It is to consciously refrain from stepping into our lower nature and transcend old patterns of trauma and drama.

Being pono is to respect our elders, who ever they may be..be it a homeless man on the street, a challenging parent, a wise leader, or in many cases, a young child. It is understanding that each person is unique, has their own special gifts, their own mana to contribute to the world and that we are all worthy of love….no matter the choices made. It is understanding the fundamental laws of attraction and karma…The knowing that what we give out is returned in like kind and what we think and feel within ourselves is what experience in life. Being pono is about taking responsibility for your role in the creation of your life and not blaming others for lessons that are seemingly not welcome at any given time….Being pono is trusting that all experiences are of tremendous value to your spiritual growth…especially the hard ones !

Being pono is to honour mother earth, her sand, her soil, her plants, her children…it is to honour the ocean, the rivers, the mountains and deserts. Animals are the essence of this earth, without them where would we be ???

Being pono means having the courage to LOVE…. to open your heart to the world and love it unconditionally….It is not being afraid to BE LOVE, to share love or to receive love…this is what the pono journey means to me !

Being pono means to celebrate your self , to accept yourself and be gentle on yourself.

At times Being pono is a constant process of ‘Making Pono’, to me that means having the commitment to do so a hundred times a day if needed. We are human after all. When our minds, patterns and old habits begin to feel the breakdown of negativity they tend to turn up the volume and attempt to keep us in pilikia….this however is an illusion…so ‘Making Pono’ is a commitment to yourself to keep at it….and to do so with love and compassion for yourself !

As Aunty Mahealani says….Just gotta ‘Fake it til you make it’….and may you aloha yourself every step of the way.

ALOHA xoxo  Renee ,Sep  18 2011

ALOHA MAI

Aloha ‘uhane,

A have been asked on a number of occasions over the last few days
‘what can I do to help’.
There are a number of levels and realms that you can work in.
Ist level is, donate money.
This is the exact situation to use the shaman skills
you have been trained in to work in whatever
other levels and realms you can as you have been trained by
myself and others to do.
Whether that’s saying pule, sending  focussed healing energy,
helping those who have transited to walk the rainbow
( apart from the humans there are thousands of our animal ‘ohana who didn’t survive ),
whatever you are guided to do.
This is the exact time to get that tool kit out, get the books off the shelf and do what you know how to do.
So many times, even those with the knowledge and skills get drawn in the fear focus.
Shift the focus and shift the energy.
Of course it takes hana ( work), it takes a lot of hana, time and focus, however
you know how to do it, so please, just take the time and do it.

Me ke aloha pumehana, Tracey

Mahalo nui loa to Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaii Tourism, Greg Mills Productions, Paul France Photography, Corso Bodyworks and Green Frog Interactive for their invaluable sponsorship and support.

1. Jo,

   I was truly touched by your comments. Having been through my own challenges of chanting and not completely liking my voice within the oli practice group with you, I felt the essence of and the emotions of your experience in Hawaii. Mahalo for sharing. To your new experiences that lie ahead.
   Mahalo Nui Con

   Comment by con margaritis — September 7, 2010 @ 10:08 am

Aloha All,
I had already written the info below and had it ready to send , when on my walk this morning I was guided to add this, so here it is.
I’m going to share part of an email I sent to one of our nani ‘ohana during the week.:-
“After we had hung up today I was reflecting on a comment you made, which a lot of people make to me, about how lucky I am going to Hawaii so much.
It makes me chuckle a bit when people say that ‘cos it’s actually not luck in the sense that people tend to mean when they talk about luck.
I was thinking about what I had said to you about intent with action, and for me that’s what my ‘luck’ is and always has been.

I set the intent many years ago to spread the Aloha Spirit and honour the Native Hawaiian teachings, so that combined with focus, action and a large amount of tenacity (and some would say pig-headedness!!!), and many large shoves from Na Aumakua, Na Akua, Na Kupuna, I keep pluggin’ away at my intent. Things then just happen. I’m one of those who gets a message, an idea, a guidance and just does it and trusts the money will be there. And yes, I do look up at the sky sometimes and say ‘really, you want me to do what, to go where??!!!!’
Each of my trips to Hawaii has always been booked on just ‘knowing’ that’s the particular island I need to go to at that particular time.
I book the flights and then trust. Thus the 3 trips to Molokai last year to organise things with Lawrence. I had no idea what was going to unfold, but just know I had to do it.  Sure it was a financial rollercoaster, however look at what it started and what’s happening now.
I had no idea at the time

I think the reason they want me to share this is to understand that it’s none of my business or concern what anyone else’s journey.
What I do care about though, although it’s still none of my business, is that each of you reading this is fully committing & dedicated
to your journey, your path and being all that you can be. To clearing the aka cords and fully shining in this world. That’s all I want for each of you.
There’s a wonderful Hawaiian saying that I love- “A’ohe wawae o ka i’a; o’oe ka mea wawae,ki’i mai”
which translates literally to: a fish has no feet; you who have feet must come and get what you want ie thoughts must be reinforced by action.
So often money is the excuse that keeps being used to stay stuck. Remember money is an energy. When you set the intent, with the right intent
ie from the heart, with ethics and integrity, trust the guidance you are being given, prepare to be amazed with the results.
Sure it can be a rollercoaster, however enjoy the ride!!!
Those who know me know that I am not and never have been motivated by money. I do what I do because it’s my journey and that involves listening to the Ancestors and doing what I’m guided to do to share the Aloha Spirit and the honour the native Hawaiians and their teachings.
I love teaching lomilomi however am walking away from that for the time-being because that’s my guidance and commitment to the
Native Hawaiians.
The other thing that I will mention that I do care about regarding the journey of others, is those who work in the realm of Hawaiian massage and healing practices or have benefited in some way from the Hawaiian teachings.
My question is what do you do to truly honour and give back to those who have given us so much on so many levels?

Whether you attend the Fundraising Dinner on October 2nd again is none of my business, it may however be an amazing opportunity to tithe,
show gratitude and exchange energy in a beautiful, enjoyable way.

Aloha ‘uhane,

Earlybird for last Ho’oponopono of the year due 21 July & 28 July for the final Advanced day.

Looking forward to seeing you for the end of this phase of my journey.
We’ll wait to see what the Ancestors have in mind for the next phase!

Aloha, Tracey

Kissing, dancing & playing with dolphins, honu, stingray & fish. Could a 50th have been any better!!           I’ll let the photos of this special day speak for themselves
