Pahoa, Hawaii May 8th-13th, 2012
Heart BlossOMing EmoYoga is the space to BE in your body, experience freedom to heal and thrive through Movement, Feeling, Touch, Breath, Yoga, Play, Ecstatic Dance, Music, Art, Sacred Sites, Warm Water, Essential Oils, Body Butters, Volcanoes, Dolphins, Exquisite Food, Massage, and Deep, Peaceful Stillness, Love *******The Presence of Love ... The Presents of Acceptance
Energy Medicine is being used to heal where nothing else works. In the dynamic and supportive environment at Kalani on the Big Island of Hawaii, we will discover that clearing trauma, acute and chronic pain, fears, phobias, addictions, and limiting beliefs caused by abuse of all kinds is possible when we give ourselves the presents of love, acceptance and forgiveness. While staying in presence with our consciousness and gently tapping and/or holding acupuncture points, we clear from the meridians, the energy body and the nervous system cellular imprinted Story that created patterns and dis-ease that no longer serve us.
Through feeling our full spectrum of emotions, breathing deeply into acceptance of what is in every moment and gently tapping and holding meridian (acupuncture) points , we gain access to our emotional intelligence, bringing clarity, confidence and rapid self-healing in profoundly simple, powerful and lasting ways. As we re-member and truly accept our Selves and others, we tap into a wealth of energy and begin to trust our in-tuition by using our emotional guidance system, and life can become much more fun and filled with grace and ease in a simple, elegant manner.
With yoga, Emotional Freedom Techniques and other needle-free meridian healing modalities, Compassionate Breathwork, movement, stretching, meditations and creating and basking in sound, lasting healing is experienced. Even birth trauma and dis-ease that started before we could speak can be cleared through feeling our feelings, the keys to healing. Participants learn self-applied power tools for healing. *******Aloha Blessings!
So excited to be co-creating a loving, healing event at Kalani Oceanside Retreat Center on the Big Island of Hawaii and the base of Pele. Please pack lightly AND bring whatever you need for possibly the greatest journey of your life....so far! :) Mahalo nui loa,
In Loving Service Alohaaaaah! m!chaeloha elam *******Testimonials:
. Hi Michaeloha! I wish you a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with lots of motions and e-motions, love and things. I wanted to let you know that the work you did during the week in Hawaii was very precious and it is still working within me. A daily assignment for me It is the part of loving and forgiving others and myself. And in those hours where I feel I need it, I go and meditate to calm my mind and switch myself to reception mode I can hear your sentences you gave me throughout the sessions you have worked with me and reproduce them – it s like memorized. And they come to me and it is so good that I have that. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS The other thing is my writing. The idea to use words as my form of expression, expressing myself from my heart and connecting to others is so fascinating and so amazing. And it was affirmed in this emo workshop in Hawaii too. I love to write and I started to put the memories that I have written down as a dairy into a book format, containing my impressions and thoughts and feelings which I had during my trip It is so great and I am so happy about it. Playing with words is so much fun. As you can see, the seeds you have spread in Hawaii have become some plants, some are small, but all are there and real and growing and some are funny looking and some are just weird and spaced out but it is all very lovely and alive. THANKS FOR THAT TOO I often think about you and the group and our work together and my time in Hawaii. All the best for you and lots of love Ingrid ........ I just wanted to thank you for a great class on EFT while I was in Kauai. It was one of the highlights of my trip. I really appreciate your clear attention and presence. You held the space beautifully and skillfully. Thank you. Love, -Zazou (Colorado) ........ Dear Community, As a facilitator of Transformative Energy work (in my case, Conscious Breathwork) I've been interested for a long time in this Emotional Freedom Technique as a possible aid in the part of my work involving DEEP emotional & physical release, and especially in the subsequent,extremely important mental and emotional re-programming that goes on. A few days ago I was Graced to receive a private EFT session from Michaeloha. In one hour I released many emotional beliefs/charges held in my case from my teen-age years & parental interactions. AT THE END OF THE SESSION ACTUAL PHYSICAL PHENOMENA PRESENT IN MY BODY FOR OVER 40 YEARS WERE GONE & STILL GONE AS OF THIS WRITING!! These physical symptoms -from a teen near-death accident- disappeared even though Michaeloha & I never actually even "tapped" specifically about the accident!! Since the session I feel that I've permanently entered a higher & freer state of being. I leave you to draw your own conclusions!!! No-one around here currently does this work; this man is Blessed with a natural Gift for it. I strongly suggest checking him out this Friday, especially if you yearn for inner change and seek more Tools of Self-EmPowerment!! See you there! -Robin Houghton (Mt. Shasta, Ca.) ........
Life is GREAT!! as I'm sure yours is also. TINA made the final breakthrough & is now a complete 4 dimensional person; absolutely incredible & kind of insanely intense transition. But she's all good now!!! Good Service, Deep Heart, Sweet Love to you! LIFE IS LARGE!!!!! ROBIN (ps. neck still perfect of course 1 month later) -Robin Houghton (Mt. Shasta, Ca.) ......... Taking the Masterful Breathing workshop with Michael allowed me to overcome a very deeply rooted and basic fear of being completely present with my body's deepest breath. Doing EFT on such a basic thing as breath was of tremendous value to me. I left feeling exceptionally relaxed open and alive with the realization that everyone could use this. I highly recommend this workshop! -Sonya Sophia Illig O.M. EFT- ........
Breath is the life... Michael Elam gives life to that statement. The workshop was enlightening and fun. I left with a deep feeling of being grounded in my body. -Brock Bradford- ........ My deepest heartfelt thanks to you for such a wonderful workshop! I felt great afterwards and I am breathing! -Lori Ann Scott- ........ What an honor to study and thrive with you! thanks for this workshop and presence. You taught it so well. I am humbled and very endeared. Yours, -Rad Kieding- ........ I feel freer, looser, more relaxed. And I think you helped me see/remember/feel many things I had not felt in years. I think the benefits will accrue more and more as time passes. But I may need a few more treatments! Thank you!! XOXO -Sandy Sandra Purnell, JD, PhD (ret.)-

"After eight months of chiropractic, massage, physical therapy and acupuncture,
four to five times a week for a neck injury, I did about 25 minutes of "tapping"
In what felt like a miraculous healing, I recognized this work and went very deep,
moved much energy and made a huge sound and experienced four "explosions"
in my body that re-aligned my spine and healed a herniated disc that had been
crippling me for 1 1/2 years preventing freedom of movement, deep breath and
inner peace.I continue practicing this energy work with self and others daily."

The CandleOpera inspires truth, beauty, love and peace for people of all ages, ethnicities, and religions,
actualizing universal and archetypal imagery through transformational theatre, music and dance.
