Question:

What is the source and the name of the dance performed before a hawaiin massage?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is known as Ka??alele au (Flight of the Navigator).

"Kahuna Bodywork starts with the Kahuna Exercise Art form Ka??alele au (Flight of the Navigator) to teach the use of motion, focus, posture, positioning and leverage.

Ka??alele au with its controlled and focused movements in various speeds looks similar to Tai Chi Chuan, and is an ancient spiritual dance/movement, the art of non verbal communication with all things. Skills learned are useful in all life."

"Bodywork training starts with Ka'alele au, a dance or ??flight?? with the body on the table. This is the beginning of learning to read the 'Script' of the body. Only when intent and purpose get completely eliminated from the mind of the practitioner, he will be called a performer, and the ??flight?? will be internalised."

"Understanding the divine in everything we do and everything around us involves the understanding of the godliness within ones own human self and the need for balance among all living things. The need to balance and engage the spiritual with the physical is demonstrated within the Flight of the Navigator through two pivotal elements - male and female principles - contraction, expansion, receptive, projective, rest within motion."
