Nana Veary is known in the islands of Hawaii as a Kahuna healer. I met Nana when I was dying of cancer and didn't know if I wanted to live. Nana found me and took me into her home. She was already in her 80's and partially paralyzed after a heart attack. Her speech was slow and deliberate. She spoke very few words, yet her presence was felt. She gave me these heartfelt words I pass on to you: "Think wrong, get wrong. Think right, get right". "You have a freewill". "God's will is your will". "Your will is God's will".
