What brings us home to ourselves? In an increasingly complex and fast-moving world, many of us seek embodied practices that reconnect us with our inner life. Yoga, breathwork, dance, somatic psychology, bodywork, and movement-based therapies all offer meaningful pathways into presence and self-awareness.
I have explored many of these modalities, each opening a different doorway into my embodied Self. Having grown up dancing, movement has always been a profound way for me to access deeper layers of being. Through dance, hidden aspects of myself are invited forward—felt, heard, and sometimes allowed to blossom. Yoga and breathwork have also played an important role in cultivating awareness, presence, and inner listening.
When Ke Ala Hōkū entered my life, however, my relationship to all of these practices fundamentally changed. I began to bring a new quality of attention—one rooted in deep listening, embodiment, and a willingness to let go of outcomes. Rather than striving or performing a practice, I learned to rest in its center. This shift allowed a much wider spectrum of my lived experience to be acknowledged and integrated.
As a result, each modality became more alive and more potent. Every practice turned into an exploration of truth—what is actually present in the body, the breath, and the moment. While the experience did not always align with my expectations, it consistently revealed something real, drawing more of my authentic self into awareness.
This is the foundation of the Pathway to the Stars: an ever-deepening capacity to meet what is awake, true, and alive in each embodied moment. Ke Ala Hōkū is not a belief system or doctrine, but a lived encounter with presence itself. The Life that we are does not need to be created—it simply is.
Through this work, we are guided in any moment, any movement, any breath, and any circumstance to step out of conceptual thinking and into direct experience. It is an invitation to inhabit the eternal Now with clarity, honesty, and embodiment. This is the foundation that allows the bodywork of Ancient Lomi Lomi to be transformational, beyond what we could intend or imagine.
Cultivating this embodied resonance will ignite any healing work, and will powerfully deepen the ground of our being—no matter where we are, or what form our lives take.
