“I wanna tell you something. People who are ‘not enough’, if they really believe it, they’re takers. People who have experienced being enough, they’re receivers. What’s the difference between a taker and a receiver? Gratitude. What’s the difference between someone who’s not enough and someone who’s enough… to touch? They’ve experienced grace and want to return gratitude. That’s what I try to remember people when they’re trying to get into the mood of Laulima. It’s like… at what point you’ve got to understand… you’re getting more than you’re giving. This is the moment to make it even.”Laulima or the art of many hands forming a safety net dives into the incredible simplicity and potency of holding a body in times of sickness, suffering, and transitioning. As a native Hawaiian healing art, Laulima is an expression of circular culture. But, as Harry says himself, the art itself does not belong to Hawaiians, it belongs to humans. Whether you're a pracitioner or lay person, it is a good time to claim this natural inclination of ours to lay hands on someone - or ourselves - and add attention.
