He shares the secrets of this ancient oral tradition with readers for the first time in Wise Secrets of Aloha.

Praise: "My first experience of receiving bodywork from Wayne in 2003 was profound, and I have been hooked ever since. I have been involved in body work for many years and have had hundreds of body work sessions internationally. What makes Wayne's sessions so profound is the depth he takes me to and the magic that gets evoked for weeks after my sessions. I literally feel all old baggage fall off, injuries healing fast, and my energy shiny, new, and ready to take on the world from a place of heart and soul. I now make receiving Wayne's healing work part of my lifestyle and a must for my family and the clients I mentor. I urge you to experience, learn, and dive into Wayne's magic and I assure you that you'll be gifting yourself a spa-healing for your body, mind, and soul."—Satyen Raja, founder of Warrior Sage Trainings "...The mature lomilomi practitioner, no matter the franchise, always lives within the current of authority to heal. The core relationship between the soul and the practitioner is the maturing process. When that happens; the healing that follows is immortal. The place we hold for lomilomi is far reaching, so many practitioners have far moved past the certificates on their wall and into their own expression. In that expression is the non-franchised, authentic relationship between soul and person, carrying the healing that is known as lomilomi. And Wayne and Patti's effort in this book speaks to all lineages in a single voice."—Harry Uhane Jim, Kahuna, healer, teacher, and author of Wise Secrets of Aloha "Many are the techniques for revitalizing and relaxing the body temple, but there is only one that delivers the results of Wayne's Lomilomi techniques. Wayne's unique combination of Lomilomi and ancient breath work promotes the integration of healthy new choices while releasing old ones. In short it is a transforming gift to yourself!"—Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder and senior minister of Agape International Spiritual Centre, and author of Life Visioning

Book Description
Hawaii is without parallel as a crossroads where languages of East and West have met and interacted. The varieties of English (including neo-pidgin) heard in the Islands today attest to this linguistic and cultural encounter. "Da kine talk" is the Island term for the most popular of the colorful dialectal forms--speech that captures the flavor of Hawaii's multiracial community and reflects the successes (and failures) of immigrants from both East and West in learning to communicate in English.

Book Description
Hawaiian massage is a healing art that has been practiced on the islands of Hawaii for generations. This ancient Polynesian technique, also called Lomi Lomi massage, has been passed down from generation to generation and is revered for its comprehensive focus on wellness. Hawaiian massage is more than just a set of physical strokes; it is an entire mind, body, and spirit ritual with the goal of reestablishing the balance and harmony that had been lost. It is a type of bodywork that involves the therapist applying pressure and kneading the muscles with rhythmic motions, long flowing strokes, and the use of their hands, forearms, and elbows. Relaxing music and fragrant oils are common accompaniments to the massage as the receiver lies face up on a massage table. Hawaiian massage is distinctive in that it is informed by a philosophy that considers the mind, emotions, and spirit to be an integral part of the body. It is considered that optimum health and well-being can be attained when these factors are in harmony with one another. By easing muscular tension and opening up the body's energy channels, Hawaiian massage can help people feel better on many levels. Hawaiian massage is well-known for more than just its general revitalizing and calming effects; it is also effective at relieving chronic pain, joint stiffness, and circulation disorders. It is a flexible and adaptable method of bodywork since it can be tailored to the specific requirements of each client.
