Kia ora, kia ora,
I wanted to share some stunning yet simple writings from a friend of mine.
I have known Makuini Ruth Tai, for well over 30 plus years. In 1992 she wrote a book called 'He Taonga Whakahirahira - Treasures that Energise'.
I still have a book from her given to me that long ago and I still use it often.
For the next few blog sections, I will share one or two of her writings at a time.
I hope this is ok with you Miss Makuini. Many blessings always and to all Atarangi.
Ka turamarama ra e to hinengaro
Your invisible woman stands radiant.
The hinengaro is the invisible female inside each person. She is the source of enlightenment.
From Atarangi: For many, the ability to trust that invisible female does not come easy. The more one practices, the stronger her voice becomes.
You practice and make effective choices by hearing and then heeding that first voice which is the right voice to follow.

TIWAWE
This video will show Tiwawe is a specific type of movement that is:
- a complete healing tool, invigorates the body, moves the internal waters, helps to release old patterning in the mind and the body, quell’s constant mental thinking brings one to present time, oxygenates the blood electrifies the spinal column, enlivens the immune system, rejuvenates the vascular and muscular system, settles nervous activity in the body
- good for children with ADHD
- helps with general aches pains of the body
- good if done gently for the elderly
- good for those who have cancer and cannot handle touch on the body
If this work is done correctly and gently it can move mountains and quell 'storms' within the body.
For those who are tougher body and require a more in-depth move, Tiwawe can be done strongly in its push / pull movement, making the waters in the belly massage the internal organs, including the gut, and enlivening the spinal column through the bodyweight on the spine.
Tiwawe can help those who have neck and shoulder issues, through gentle movements. As long as the person is relaxed and 'lets the neck go' the chin will move in an up and down motion, like a long nod. This is freeing to the neck, especially if one holds tightness there and can allow the movement to soothe the muscles.
In the belly, I use this method prior to working with a woman who has fertility issues and or is prone to having 'trouble' with her period.
Keep checking the person you are working on, ensuring they aren't starting to hurt at the ankles (from your grip), at the lower back because it will stimulate that area and open it up.
