Testimonials from Jane Ely's clients

Advanced Healers Program 2011: Energy Medicine and Ecopsychology

Developed and Taught by Dr. Jane Ely

“Change is inevitable, growth is intentional.” Glenda Cloud

The Advanced Healers Program: Energy Medicine and Ecopsychology is a program designed to support and strengthen Advanced Holistic Healers who are in private practice or would like to explore and deepen their transpersonal and healing skills. The program explores the many facets of healing the body, mind, emotions and spirit in an integrative, holistic approach.

The program has been developed by spiritual healer and counselor Jane Ely, and draws on over twenty years of teaching and counseling experience (see biography). Many of the teachings are based upon Jane’s life experience and her insightful new book entitled: The Worriers Guide to the Universe: Tools for Change [to be published in 2010].

Jane’s teachings in holistic, integrative Energy Medicine and Ecopsychology focus upon the inter-relatedness of all life and the process of becoming self-responsible, empowered, spiritual adults. We explore, in depth, the nature of the human energy body from inside the indigenous mind, relating it to our history, culture and present day life lessons, including self-awareness practices and insights for conscious living.

The term “Energy Medicine” is derived from the ancient indigenous traditions meaning to work with the body’s wisdom and its inherent ability to heal itself. The word, “Ecopsychology” is derived from ‘ecology’-the organic inter-relatedness of all living beings, and our relationship with our Mother the Earth. The root word “psycho” is Greek and translates as ‘soul’. We bring the experience of growing the soul into each teaching session. The level and depth of study, participation and transformation is profound as the teachings weave together traditional methods of self-realization with contemporary issues we work with on a daily basis.

In her book, Remembering the Ancestral Soul: Soul Loss and Recovery, [available at www.authorhouse.com and www.amazon.com] Jane discusses “soulular” and cellular growth as being inter-related, as well as methods for recovering the soul to live in balance.

This program requires a commitment to explore deep personal change through spiritual practices, laying-on-of-hands, energy medicine healing techniques, meditations, song and movement, and ceremony, which all support true lasting change. Each level of the program builds upon integrating and embodying the teachings from the previous level. Each progressive level follows a theme focused on the developmental cycles of growth and the phases of life we traverse. There are four levels to the program. The Medicine Wheel is a template upon which all the teachings are based.

Topic Overview:
•The Medicine Wheel of Life: Native American and Indigenous Wisdom Practices
•The Directions of the Medicine Wheel: Healing Templates, Phases of Development, Elements and Spiritual Significance. Each level of the four level training focuses on one direction and the significance and energy medicine it holds.
•The Witness, Asker, Experiencer Model—Support for transpersonal development for the healer and client
•Meditations: The Indigenous Mind; Clear Light/Clear Mind; Blue Egg; Breath of Life; Ha’ Meditation; Kin Hin Walking Meditation; Sanskrit Chakra Chants
•Ecopsychology: Masks and Their True Messages; Re-Patterning Beliefs and Identity; Divination-Elements of Nature as Healer; Journey Work; Dream Work; Developing Intuition/Listening Skills
•Healing Techniques: Restructuring ‘blown-out’ energy fields; Energetic Attachment Extraction; Death and Dying-supporting the soul in transition; Soul Loss and Recovery; The Newly Emerging Soul Line
•Ceremony: Fire Dancing, Death Lodge, Talking Stick Council Circle, Water Ceremony, Medicine Stick, Sacred Land Practice, Power Dancing, Making Peace Ceremony, Hollow Bone Ceremony

In The Spirit of Lo’kahi: An Interview on the Work and World Vision of Dr. Maka’ala Yates-Written by Dr. Jane Ely, D. Min.

Lo’kahi is an ancient Hawaiian word with many layers of meanings. For Maka’ala Yates, D. C., lo’kahi is the essence of unity, peacemaking, harmony, connection, and embracing diversity. Ho’o lo’kahi is the action that brings about agreement, diversity, and unity. But it is much more than this.
In Hawaiian language there are tones, sounds, and meanings within meanings that carry vibrational frequencies of understanding, mana [life force], and healing. As Maka’ala explains, "Lo’kahi is the platform upon which to communicate and illuminate healing and more importantly, to reunite that which has been broken back into unity, and awareness—in short, to renew a way of life."
Dr. Maka’ala Yates is a remarkable man with a very large world vision. The Big Picture is nothing short of complete transformational change for the people of this earth. Although he would be the last person to admit it, he would perhaps say he is just here doing what he has come here to do. Or perhaps he might say, he woke up at a certain point in his life and ‘remembered’ why he came here and the job he came here to do.
Born on the Big Island of Hawaii in a sacred place, the city of refuge Pu’uhonua o Honaunau, Maka’ala’s arrival was awaited by the elders—kupuna – who predicted his birth and knew him from ancient times. He remembers being introduced to lomi lomi –a Hawaiian form of healing touch and massage – at age six by his Auntie. This was during a time in which Hawaiian’s were under suppression. Many Hawaiians did not speak their native language in public because it was frowned upon.
Maka’ala remembers that his father spoke fluent Hawaiian and that he was reprimanded while attending the Kamehameha Schools. These Schools were founded to perpetuate the Hawaiian values and traditions of people of Hawaiian ancestry through the vision of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Maka’ala states, "If you eliminate the language, the oral traditions of an entire culture are eliminated. The tones of our language carry hidden frequencies of the ancient culture. When the missionaries wrote down our language, they changed it. I remember the ancient tones; these are inside of me."
In childhood family gatherings he remembers ‘talk story’ and touch, two essential factors of carrying on the heritage. From birth, Auntie Margaret, a great kumu [teacher] recognized Maka’ala in his crib. He had the support and protection of Auntie Margaret and family Aunties who infused him with the healing ways, not the warrior ways that many people generally identify as Hawaiian culture. For example, during an epidemic of ‘whooping cough’ when Maka’ala was only three years old, they took him out of danger and sent him to the other side of the island. Looking back on it now, he realizes that they were protecting him.
Maka’ala’s teachers are legends in Hawaiian culture today including Auntie Morrnah Simeona, Auntie Edith Kanaka’ole, Auntie Mona Kahele and his Tutu Kane. In childhood, Maka’ala remembers having ‘breathless states’ in which he would find himself observing himself in an alternate reality, or a kind of meditative state. He would simply stop breathing for minutes at a time, and in so doing go into other states of awareness. It wasn’t until years later that Auntie Morrnah taught him the ha mo’o form of meditation in which the essence of life and the evolutionary process unfolds in alternate states of being. “Ha is breath but it is much more than that, it is life and death, mo’o is the lizard, and it is also the spine and the awareness of having no fear,” says Maka’ala.
So this child who was predicted to be a bridge between the cultures, and a keeper of ancient practices grew up, went to school, enrolled in the military, became a warrior in Viet Nam, saw people die, went to college, became a tennis professional, traveled the world, went into pre-medicine studies and detoured to become a chiropractor because he felt working with the bones really called to him.
“Viet Nam scared me straight” says Maka’ala. In 1976, four years out of the military, an incredible event happened in Hawaii that had been predicted by the elders for many years. The experience was the advent of the Hokulea, a double- hulled, 61’-5”wa’a kaulua, replica of the ancient Polynesian voyaging canoes used to navigate by the stars throughout the Polynesian Islands. The name Hokulea means star of gladness, referring to Arcturus, a guiding zenith star by which navigators traveled widely throughout the Pacific Rim. The inaugural voyage left Maui, Hawaii in 1976 for Tahiti. Maka’ala was on the return voyage to Hawaii.
A significant point about this time period is that the elders had predicted this as being a great awakening for the Hawaiian people, and also for the human species of the world. It was during this time period that significant people began reappearing in Maka’ala’s life. The voyage itself was an “ah-ha” moment as Maka’ala puts it. He understood how in tune the ancient ones were with nature, the stars, movement, technology, science, and the world in which they were intricately inter-related with all life. He came to understand how incredibly advanced his ancestors were, and a seed was planted—the concept of remembering and bringing back the ancient knowledge, teachings and healing practices for the benefit of all peoples. Maka’ala found the restrictions of the chiropractic profession too narrow for the ways in which he wanted to practice, which included his traditional healing practices. He came to the decision to change his focus and in so doing, began to grow the seeds that had been planted during the Hokulea experience.
He came home to mother Hawaii to pursue practicing indigenous healing. He has been practicing and teaching lomi lomi for 25 years. Today, Maka’ala Yates has established Mana Lomi [TM] training on Big Island, Maui, Oahu and Kauai. The intention of all his work is to reintroduce Hawaiians to alternative health education and practices steeped in traditional Hawaiian knowledge of health and healing. The wisdom is based in the ancient healing secrets hidden for more than 1,000 years by the original people of the islands.
As Maka’ala puts forth in Mana Ola: The Healing Power of Spirit, "Our Hawaiian ancestors gave us tools to make it through the evolutionary changes they have anticipated for generations to come—not only for Hawaiian people, but for all the people of the planet. The return of the ancient Hawaiian healing practices must now come full circle into the hearts and homes of the Hawaiians themselves. Indigenous cultures everywhere are taking back their cultures, which are deeply rooted in healing. We believe the time has come for Native Hawaiians to turn towards their own source of wisdom and rich heritage—for healing, for remembering, and for their future. "
This is basically the inspiration and foundation of all the teachings: to provide a health education model for Hawaiian families that can also go out into the world in a way that is aligned and shared, free of conflict with others.
The training program that the Kumu Maka’ala has developed includes: lomilomi, ancient massage that goes down to the bone; ho’oponopono, meaning to bring back into balance, a form of peacemaking; Hawaiian healing chants; la’au lapa’au, Hawaiian herbal medicine; fasting and cleansing; nutrition; and hale pulo’ulo’u, the Hawaiian sweat lodge.
He has established the practice of Mana Lomi, TM, which identifies and carries the spiritual aspect of lomi from his lineage of healers. Mana is the life force, the spiritually divine energy that moves through all things, and lomi is the work or the vehicle through which healing happens. The program he now teaches is designed to break the blueprint of illness in the Hawaiian nation, empowering the people to wake-up and take charge of their health, remembering who they are.
An example of this exists in a unique education program for young males. Entitled Na La ‘Eha, young males ages 13 to 18 are mentored by older men into the rite of passage that bridges ancient tradition with modern times and explores the healthy masculine. Young males encounter major male archetypes, explore what it is like to be a man, and dispel myths. Through four days of discussion, classroom time, outdoor activity, experiencing emotional male literacy, the practice of accountability, ho’oponopono, and solo time in nature, the boys become men. They learn to recognize their wounds, their hidden shadow-self, and find their medicine and power.
Maka’ala observes the majority of men all over the world are struggling to redefine and redirect themselves. They are seeking healthy masculine models that can help them be strong and compassionate within the context of today’s society.
But the Kumu does not stop there with manifesting change. His vision extends to establishing a traditional Hawaiian health center and training institute on Kauai, HI. The pioneering project organized by Hawaiians for Hawaiians will be extended to the entire community and will be based in ancient healing approaches with current biomedical health systems.
Recently, Maka’ala Yates was awarded the Kaonohi Award in Honolulu in recognition of Hawaiians who have made significant contributions to improving Hawaiian health and well being through the practice of Hawaiian medicine within Hawaiian communities. One of the goals of the training program he offers is to train teachers, creating a core team that reintroduces traditional healing throughout the Pacific Rim.
Maka’ala further points out, in Mana Ola: The Healing Power of Spirit, "Hawaii has long been known as the ‘piko’ –the center or umbilicus of the universe throughout the Polynesian Triangle and other parts of the world. It has attracted people for generations for healing, navigation, peace, and the study of the cosmos … It is on this piko that we feel moved to develop a health education model that will not only help the Hawaiian people to regain their independence from so-called incurable illnesses, but also help them to break free from old patterns that no longer serve. Self-awareness and the power to heal the land and its people are the key ingredients to bringing the people together. An authentic Hawaiian healing center and school provides the means for transmitting the layers of ancient Hawaiian healing in a far-reaching way that is relevant to the times in which we live."
This is the spirit of Lo’kahi—unification, illumination, communication, transformation, inclusivity and diversity. Lo’kahi is the vision and the work, and it runs through Maka’ala Yates because he embodies the essence of lo’kahi and he is dedicated to manifesting its return in his lifetime.

The Benefits of Energy Medicine and Eco-psychology

The Benefits of Energy Medicine and Eco-psychology

By Dr. Jane Ely

The integrative, holistic healing practice of Energy Medicine arises from an older tradition known as “the laying-on-of-the-hands.” In today’s paradigm, the training for Energy Medicine has evolved into a more scientific and technical approach to support patients with specific symptoms and illnesses.

Working directly with the human energy field moves blocked patterns in the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. This type of internal work helps a patient make behavioral and life-style changes that aid in their personal healing and transformation.

The word ecopsycholgy is alive with meaning and reflection. The term ‘eco’ is a Greek word that translates as ‘our living, breathing environment’ while ‘psycho’ refers to ‘the soul,’ and ‘ology’ means ‘to study or gain knowledge.’ When we work holistically, we work with our body, mind, emotions, and spirit in an integrated, balanced way. It an intricate, multi-leveled approach we support self-awareness and change in the healing process.

The patient is engaged in their transformation each step of the way. I work with the patient’s symptoms (acute and chronic), carefully listening and witnessing the information they share. I ask insight questions that often help the person in understanding their life at deeper levels of awareness. I also suggest how we can work with the human energy field in coping with both acute phases in the healing process, as well as long-term phases or issues. Energy Medicine also decreases recovery time in nearly every situation by increasing the body’s natural healing ability.

The following are symptoms and issues I have experience working with, both with hands-on-healing and counseling-healing methods:

Physical Conditions:

° Anxiety & Panic Attacks
° Nervous System Tension & Anxiety
° Circulation problems
° Insomnia
° Pre and Post Surgery, all conditions
° Recuperating from accidents and physical trauma
° Tinnitus (ear ringing)
° Coping with Diabetes and chronic long-term illnesses
° Menopause and hormonal changes
° Immune System disorders such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia & others
Physical Conditions continued:

° Lymes Disease
° Detoxification from cigarettes, alcohol & prescription drugs
° Cancer patients undergoing treatments
° Death and Dying: attending to the patient, family & self

Eco-psychological Conditions:

° Relationship dynamics & issues
° Career changes, refocusing & sudden job loss
° Anxiety & Stress disorders
° Depression
° Self-esteem issues
° Grief Counseling
° Divorce, Separation & Loss
° Anger management
° Clearing past relationships
° Spiritual Counseling
° Life-style changes
° Energy Balancing for well-being & clarity
