Cook landed in Kealakekua Bay, he did not notice the thousands of Hawaiians who lived together in harmony.

This healing tool will be explained by Michael Goddard and practical application done in class.Goddard will present in-depth coverage of various styles of Ho’o Ponopono during his introductory talk on Friday. Used to raise the vibration in your relations with people, places and things, Ho’o Ponopono is used to clear the subconscious of negative programs, limiting beliefs and deeply rooted trauma. Goddard was tasked by his elders (kupuna) to share the cultural teachings. The evening will end with a meditation and Hawaiian chant.Saturday’s workshop, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., with a one-hour lunch break, starts with a chant and ‘Ha’ breathing.

Your body needs B12 to create energy and is not well absorbed from the diet or in capsule form. Everyone can benefit from a B12 shot – especially those who live a busy life, athletes, seniors, vegetarians, vegans, and people on prescription medication. After B12 injections many patients feel a natural (not jittery) boost in energy. B12 cost $20 (a savings of more than 50 percent for new patients). What’s a Tap Out and why should I get one with my B12 shot? A Tap Out is from a form of energy medicine called BodyTalk Access that helps your body put the B12 where it needs it most. It supports mental clarity, stress management, hydration, energy levels and costs $15. Appointments strongly suggested.
