FORWARD Partners in Development (PID) Foundation is a public non-profit organi-zation dedicated to serving the needs of the community and applying timeless Hawaiian values and practices to prepare children and families in our community for success and service. Part of our traveling pre-school program and family education program includes the opportunity for families to learn practices and perspectives that will help them to gain and maintain physical health. Traditionally, the Hawaiian culture was supported by men and women that understood traditional health and medicine and served those in need in their communities. Like many traditional practices and techniques, there are few today that practice these healing arts. PID is committed to the revival of Hawaiian health practices and perspectives as a responsible supplement to western medicine. In pursuit of this, PID has been blessed by the willingness of GrandMaster Hong Liu to work with the foundation and its program and share his understanding of traditional health and well being prac-tices.
It is of interest that my maternal Tutu (grandmother) was a traditional Hawaiian healer, a kahuna la`au lapa`au, who worked hand-in-hand with her husband, a Chinese herbalist, to serve their community. They served without charging for any of their services, for they believed that the gifts they had were not their own, but rather a stewardship given to them by Ke Akua. This same spirit has been manifested by GrandMas-ter Hong Liu in his free clinics for diabetes, allergies, and heart disease.
It is our hope that the exercises and health perspectives presented here will be both beneficial to the physical well being of the children, parents, and grandparents of the families we serve. We also look forward to understanding and recovering traditional Hawaiian health practices through this partnership with GrandMaster Hong. Me ke aloha palena `ole.

Description of the 5-Animal Form The health and wellness of our keiki is of vital concern as these keiki are our precious resources of the future. Health of the keiki is especially vulnerable to environmental factors, diet, cultural values, and life-style influences. No single program can meet all the wellness needs of the keiki. How-ever, an approach that coincides with the natural rhythms of the body, mind and spirit can do much to complement a nurturing environment for healthy development within an educational setting. GrandMaster Hong of the Natural Healing Research Founda-tion (NHRF) has designed the “Qi” curriculum to be a part of
the Tütü & Me Traveling Preschool using the “5-Animal Form.” This form was created by a Qi Gong Master dating back 2,000 years and is part of the natural healing pro-gram for children based on traditional Chinese medicine. These practices seek to balance the energies of life force (qi in Chinese, mana in Hawaiian, ki in Japanese) of the body’s internal organs. The benefits of these exercises in-clude everything from better mental and physical health to
improved social skills and ethics for both Tütü and keiki.
Tütü and keiki have similar health needs that correspond to the benefits of the “5-Animal Form.” While mimicking each animal with their individual sounds and movements, one as-sumes the characteristics of the animal. These sounds and movements will stimulate energy to target specific organ channels.

The first animal form is the tiger (Kika). The tiger is brave. Pretending to be a tiger, one should feel powerful, growling and scratching fearlessly through the jungle, un-afraid of its surroundings. This action especially promotes good liver energy which in turn produces a healthier diges-tive system. Healthy food habits should be a priority for
both Tütü and keiki. The second animal is the monkey (Keko). The monkey is smart. Pretending to be a monkey makes one perform—always laughing, moving quickly, with energy and enthusi-asm. Monkeys move through the forest with focus and agility and have many friends. Monkeys love to socialize and this social interaction promotes success and cures loneliness. The quick movement of energy is to strengthen
the heart and blood flow for both keiki and Tütü. The third animal is the bear (Pea). Bears are loving--full of aloha! Pretending to be a bear, one should feel com-
forted and happy--loving oneself and ÿohana just as a bear cares for her cubs. When growling from deep within, stomach energy is boosted and revitalized, thus promoting good digestion— just like a bear who loves to
eat! This helps keiki and Tütü to absorb the vitamins and minerals for a healthy body. The fourth animal is the bird (Manu). The bird flies high in the sky looking down on wide open spaces, whether it’s land or sea. Seeing the world with a “bird’s eye view,” gives one the opportunity to see “the big picture.” This

panoramic view of the world improves the ability to make worthy choices. The bird form strengthens lung energy, thereby creating better oxygen levels throughout the body and most importantly the brain. The last and fifth animal is the deer (Kia). The gentle deer is always listening and looking. A deer gracefully prances through the forest on its hooves (toes), yet is
always aware of its surroundings. In this form, Tütü and keiki are learning to listen. While prancing on one’s toes, muscles are being strengthened directly relating to the kidneys. This organ is most important for good hearing, strong bones, quality bone marrow and healthy body fluids.
This is important for the Tütü because as they age, cal-cium levels decline and bones become brittle (osteoporosis).
For keiki and Tütü this form is excellent for strong bones and a healthy immune system.
At the root of the form is play; a game format with Tütü interacting with their teachers. The program presents music, visual, physical activity, bonding, mental and ethical
training—and fun! The greater the degree the Tütü and keiki can imitate the animals, the more benefit their inter-nal organs and overall health will increase. The program will also introduce simple healing foods for
the Tütü and keiki to strengthen the internal organs.
Tütü Qi and Me offers FUN! FUN! FUN!
