A book telling the story of Kahu Abraham and Nā Pua ʻOlohe, written by Hoʻokahi Tamara, is now available in English and German! Here’s what it is about:
Abraham Kawaiʻi was a kahuna, or Native Hawaiian spiritual practitioner. This book tells the stories that he told about his early life and training as a kahuna, as well as how he adapted the principles of his own training in order to teach them to a non-Hawaiian audience. He is best known for the development of a style of bodywork known throughout the world as Kahuna Bodywork.
Abraham grew up in a small fishing village on Hawaiʻi Island during a time of great change for Native Hawaiians. As a boy, he struggled to reconcile the traditional teachings of his grandmother and other kāhuna with the demands of Western life. It can be a challenge to express our core passions and dreams as we live a life in the modern world. To live in today’s world and keep living his enthusiasm for his cultural heritage, Abraham developed teachings that can bridge that gap for any individual who wants to lead a life that is rich, adventurous, and fulfilling.
These are tales full of human achievement and the building of mana. They tell of a young man’s journey to become a practicing kahuna in 1970ʻs Honolulu, and his later decision to teach kahuna principles to a worldwide audience. These stories also share the author’s own experiences of what it was like to live and train with Abraham.
This book will inspire you to seek the one thing that you feel passionate about, and make that thing the center of your life. In Abraham’s own words, “There is always a Yes!”
