Ho’omanamana means to cultivate, amplify, or free mana (life force energy). It is a gentle movement practice within the wisdom lineage of Ke Ala Hōkū — The Pathway to the Stars, through my teacher, Kahu Abraham Kawai'i. Jody Mountain, incorporates the foundational practice of Ho'omanamana in Retreats with Lineage of Light, as part of the wisdom lineage: Ke Ala Hōkū — The Pathway to The Stars, as transmitted through her teacher.

Ho’omanamana guides us to access new avenues from the Sacred in our bodies, to the conscious mind. It is a practice which opens the spaces in between tissues, freeing energies that have been blocked, and and allowing them to become ‘contributing factors’ in our awareness, movement, & life.  In it, we refine our attention, letting go of our rush towards ‘the next’, and ‘the next’ and ‘the next'.   As our mind releases the destination, we arrive more and more fully in the living now. This practice provides new avenues of awareness, perception and freedom in our bodies, and reverberates thorough our relationship with ourselves and others.

The guided practice allows us to move through the layers of our surface perceptions to the edge of the Infinite Creation which fills us. We meet old emotional, mental, physical and conceptual patterning in a vast embrace, allowing them to transmute into living, breathing energy which fuels our forward motion in life, rather than restrict us. We can find ourselves in the vast spaciousness of Life Itself, awake in our bodies.
