The Power Of Energy And How You Can Harness It Too

Aloha and welcome to Hawai‘i. I was going to share this video before I left the UK because I wanted to do it with props and everything, but it was a combination of time running out and also I know that some of you like to see where I’m staying, so I thought I’d do a “jealousy video” let’s call it.

You can’t actually see the view that I have but you can see the reflection of the view that I have, because I am here on Big Island to teach Huna, as I do twice a year and have done now for a number of years to our group over here.

Last week, I decided that I would make a chapati, it’s like a flatbread, it’s an unleavened flatbread thing, and you get chickpea flour and water and not a lot else, make it really flat, and then you just fry it in a pan briefly. Very easy to do, quite low carb, quite nice, tasty.

I decided in my wisdom that I would use toasted sesame oil as the cooking oil, because I just fancied a new flavor. So I duly cooked my chickpea flatbreads…

The only problem was, I couldn’t get rid of the dried in toasted sesame seed oil! It just wouldn’t leave the pan, and it had also made the pan burn a bit, and this is my favorite frying pan, it’s a great frying pan, I’ve had it for years. It never burns, it never sticks, it’s beautiful and I love it. So I was somewhat peeved to put it mildly.

I went through an entire array of different things to try and get my pan clean. As it’s a non stick pan, first of all I tried ordinary soaking in boiling water. That didn’t work.

Then I tried neat washing up liquid, that didn’t work. So then I moved on to more chemical industrial processes like Cillit Bang, that didn’t work.

Then I remembered the power of vinegar, so I tried vinegar. Cold vinegar, not very successful. I tried boiling some vinegar in it, a little bit more successful, softened it up a bit, but it still wasn’t really working, and I didn’t want to destroy the pan too much so I was using one of those sponges with a little scritchery back, not really working.

Then I discovered my green scritchy, you know those little square things that are just scritchy nylon. It moved some stuff, but still wasn’t really shifting the oil, and it just got this brown stain around it.

I tried putting a knife wrapped in a towel so it wouldn’t scratch it too much, again shifted a little bit but really it wasn’t doing it. So I went back to vinegar and the scritcher because this seemed to be the most effective combination that I could come up with.

And I was scrubbing away with my scritcher and my vinegar and it was shifting a little bit but I was getting real pain in my elbow and in my shoulder because I was working so hard.

Then, and I don’t know where it came from, but I was suddenly reminded of an experience that I had years ago when I was learning massage, and the teacher was demonstrating the power of energy. He got one of his assistants, who is a tiny tiny woman, very slim and very short, and he got her to sit on a chair. He then got some of the guys in the class who were both muscly, to lift her.

They lifted her twice. The first time she just sat in the chair and poof, up went the chair, they lifted her with ease. Second time he told her to do it with energy. So she got in a state, grounded herself with energy and I swear to you, these two guys, they really really struggled to lift her off the ground in her chair.

Similarly, when I studied Lomi Lomi massage which is the Hawai‘ian massage, I studied it with a lady called Auntie Margaret. Auntie Margaret was the doyenne of Lomi Lomi, and she died unfortunately, not too long after.

She was in her 80s when I was studying with her and she would sit there supervising the class. Her daughter was doing some of the practical stuff and then periodically she’d get up and come over to the table. She’d damaged her knees falling off the airplane steps at Conner Airport, so she had no real strength, and she would lean on the body…

She was tiny but just the energy, you’d feel like she’d run over you with a 10 tonne truck! I mean the power of it was extraordinary, but she wasn’t doing it with physical power she had no physical power. She was doing it with energy.

So I thought to myself, okay, why don’t I try cleaning my pan with energy?

I got the pan, got the scritcher, and then I imagined bringing in the energy from source, sending it down my arm, and into the pan.

Now sadly I haven’t got the pan here to show you, I wasn’t going to ship it 12,000 miles or whatever it is, to the other side of the planet just so I could prove the point. But that pan is absolutely burn free, sesame oil free, brown stain free! It is once again a beautiful silver coloured stainless steel frying pan.

And I did it with energy.

And this to me is a real reminder of the power of energy and how easy it is to forget its power.

It’s not just physically powerful, as I found there, but it’s also powerful for shifting stuff. When you want to shift stuff in your body, bring in energy to shift stuff in your body.

When you want to shift emotions, bring in energy and shift the emotions.

When you want to manifest, bring in energy to build up your manifestation before you put it out there. Put it out there with the energy that you want, with the energy of the intention.

So just a reminder of the power of energy from such an unlikely source; the humble stainless steel frying pan. Enjoy the rest of your day, I’m going to enjoy the rest of my day. I’m going off walkabout, so I’ll catch up with you very soon.
