Huna, Spiritual Knowledge

During these times of expansion I decided to write about a system called Huna that would help those through their life and their transitions.

Working in the alternative field, I just can't say enough about Huna and how the learning of the ancients can change your life.

In the next blogs my focus will be to share information on the knowledge of Huna for those who wish to continue in learning. Huna means secret, and its core is Hawaiian.

The concept of Aloha is at the heart of Huna, which expresses that everything responds to love, compassion and kindness. It connects us to our God self.

Balance is also a concept of Huna and for your life to be flowing in its expanded form it is necessary to work to achieve. This balance relates to all parts of nature, elements, and all things. Balance also speaks of our yin and yang, our male and female aspects which bring harmony. To the Hawaiians for someone to throw things out of balance was looked upon as a violation or what the Hawaiians call Kapu. To the individual this could create bad luck, illness, or unhappiness, until the person made right. When an imbalance would take place the Kahuna would look to find the source and when it was discovered the Kahuna would work using nature, elements and spirit to restore balance.

Another basic concept of Huna is the breath, called Ha breath, meaning breath of life, life force. When a Kahuna would transition he or she would pass on their knowledge through the breathe, by breathing into the student. Many pass the Mana (life force) on to the family member by breathing into the mouth or top of the head. This transference can also be done to objects. So, the breath is a core practice in Huna.

The word Kahuna in old Hawaii was defined as a master/expert in some field. There were medical Kahunas, ship building Kahunas, massage, surfing, poetry, story telling, prophecy Kahunas, etc... The individual was trained in a particular field for many many years. In more present day the word Kahuna is used more in reference to a spiritual teacher, as would a shaman, or priest.

Kahuna knowledge was kept in secret and passed orally to students who were selected for their natural gifts and abilities. There are different variations of practices due to the particular lineage. Each Kahuna had their own guide or God called an Aumakua. So, Kahuna teaching will differ depending on family line but will hold all the same core beliefs.

After the Christian missionaries came to Hawaii, the Kahuna practices were made illegal, and therefore the Hawaiians did not want to share the knowledge due possible imprisonment and some other reasons. Many of the teachings were lost and stay hidden with some of the families.

The concept of Huna is dialoging with the 3 selves within, which can bring an individual to balance, resolution , releasing of emotional blocks and to well-being.

The study of Huna helps one who is ready to take responsibility for their life and wishes to expand to their higher level of being.

The focus today is on the medical Kahuna, who uses him or/herself as a bridge between worlds. The Kahuna's believe that a cause of sickness could come from one's own actions, outside, a curse or from problems in the family and therefore if one is sick in the family, all are treated. The belief is that there is no separation between a problem in the body, mind or emotions.

In Huna there are 3 selves or minds, low, middle, and Higher self. To give you an idea of the family within, the lower self might be considered the child or unconscious mind, the middle self might be considered the parent or conscious mind, and the Higher self might be considered the super conscious or grandparent. When the selves are all flow and are working with each other you find that manifestation can take hold and there is balance and harmony. It is most important that this balance be had for well being and happiness. If one self is not recognized or ignored, problems start, illness and dysfunction. Understanding how the selves relate to each other is the basis of Huna and working them all into communication. It is much like being in a family in the material world, very much the same workings and problems go on.

There are different places in your body that these selves can be felt, the Lower self can be felt in the solar plexus, the Middle self, in the head, and the Higher self, above the body.

Here is another example of the importance of knowing the selves within. Lets say you want to learn a new language. Your Middle self, (parent) will be all about that, your Lower self (child) will find it not very fun at all because it like to play, Your Higher self (grandparent) will not get involved until the two Lower and Middle selves come to agreement. So, for instance you make a commitment to learn a new language, open your book, and you start to drift off to sleep. You might not understand what is going on for each time you go to read and learn you just can't seem to stay awake. This is because the Lower self (child), runs the body, and child and parent don't always agree on what needs to be done. If you have children, then you know it is very hard to force a child to do anything unless you are able to rationalize the situation for them. So, a solution to your problem might be to recognize that this learning a new language need to be made fun in order for the Lower self to cooperate. As you might with your own children, some people allow them to play first, but homework must be done at a certain time, or the reverse. Once the Lower self has a agreement with the Middle self, what you'll find is magical. You spend sometime doing a fun activity, or make a game out of learning and you realize you are no longer falling asleep and this is because the two selves are now cooperating. Once the two selves are cooperating, now the Higher self or grandparent can step in to add the finishing manifestation and helps keep you to your agreements you have made before coming to the planet. This is just a simplification of how the process works of course.

Huna is a life long learning and way of living, so it is not something that can be learned or read about to "get".

My next blog will give more information on the selves and their workings. I hope that this will encourage people to look in to Huna to benefit them during these special times!
