Dr. Douglas Herman (‘o Lanakila)

Energy Healing Specialist

A certified Emotion Code practitioner, I have a BA in Comparative Religion and a PhD in Cultural Geography, focused on Indigenous and traditional cultural systems.  A Buddhist lay person and lifelong student of alternative healing, I have practiced Morrnah Simeona's Ho‘oponopono technique on myself for 40 years.  Now I use the Emotion Code® to work on others, because I have found it to be an incredibly powerful and effective tool for removing emotional obstacles.

 

Ho‘ākaaka Energy Healing offers a holistic approach to releasing trapped emotions that cause dis-ease and imbalance. The practice is dedicated to resolving internal issues and empowering individuals and animals to effectively manifest their potentials.

Discover the transformative power of energy healing and embark on a journey towards holistic wellness.

About
Water Texture

Ho‘ākaaka

Lustrous Pearl

In Hawaiian  language, akaaka means clear, luminous, transparent, visible, manifest.  Ho‘ākaaka means to clarify, explain, render or make intelligible.  I have chosen this name because it represents the luminous nature of consciousness, and that the process I use helps to remove obstacles to that bright light—clarifying it.

Buddhism uses the "clear-water pearl" as a metaphor for the practice of mindfulness. When tossed into "muddy water" (the confused, impure mind), the pearl is said to clarify the water.  Hence the use of the pearl in the logo.

How Does it Work?

How it Works

The Emotion Code® was developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson, founder of Discover Healing.  This method understands trapped emotions as specific energies in the body's overall energy field.  These are emotions that the subconscious was unable to process at the time they occurred, and they remain with us, hampering our ability to act freely and manifest our full potential.

 

The Emotion Code® process is not talk-therapy and not physical therapy.  You do not need to share your past or present feelings.  Rather, it involves the use of simple muscle-testing techniques to identify individual trapped emotions. Sometimes we need to dig a little deeper and determine a little more information before your subconscious is ready to let go of them. 

 

Then a few swipes of a magnet over the body's prime meridian (from the upper lip, across the top of the head, and down the back of the neck) releases these trapped energies.

Each session aims to release 5-10 trapped emotions focused on your particular issue.  Sometimes that is enough, sometimes more is needed. You decide.

This work can be done remotely via Zoom meeting for clients anywhere in the world.  For those nearby, it can be done in person if desired.

Like the clear-water pearl, this process removes energies that muddy our thoughts and obstruct our ability to function freely.

Client Stories

"My energy healing sessions helped me more than I expected. Doug was great! I felt safe, understood, and genuinely cared for, which made it easier to let go and relax.  I felt a real shift—Things came up that made me realize many things about myself and my past, and it felt like a weight that I had been carrying for a long time finally eased up.  It was a meaningful experience that brought me comfort, clarity, and a renewed sense of inner strength. Since then, my new-found sense of calm and balance has stayed with me."

Helping Animals

Helping Animals

Animals are People Too!

Anyone who has spent any time around animals knows that they have personalities and emotions just as we do.  This means they too can experience trapped emotions that affect their behavior.  If you have an animal that is showing signs of distress that are not physical, we can use energy healing to release trapped emotions and restore balance.  This type of healing can be done on-site or remotely.  Contact me for details.
