Ano Ano by Kristin Zambucka

Pain accompainies all birth.

There is pain when we are born and there is pain when we are re-born as old facets of the personality die away...or are brutally torn out of our life pattern...to make way for the new.

In breaking down the old future, one's world
may seem to fall apart.

Trouble will enter the life like a storm...

A tempest will rage.

Do not resist...there is a balancing of power at work...for your new self is about to enter that world.

Though you may travel far you will meet only
what you carry with you, for every man is a mirror.

We see only ourselves reflected in those around
us.

Their attitudes and actions are reflections of our
own.

The whole world and its conditions has its
counterpart within us all.

Turn the gaze inward...correct yourself and
your world will change.

The Art Of Divination

The art of divination seems to baffle many. Yet, the evidence shows that it is possible for some to see the future and have knowledge of coming events, even though no one has ever been found to be one hundred percent accurate, which is also baffling for scientists. So, the question many might carry is why some predictions are accurate and why some are less accurate.

Divination is a strong practice of the Kahuna and all those that are adepts use it to some degree. It is part of the Kahuna training and not surprising that the main root of the word in Hawaiian is wanana, which means to observe patterns of time.

Past events consist of events which have occurred, and the future consist of events which have not occurred. So, the present consists of events which are occurring and being perceived.

Some say, that the present is an illusion because time is a continuous flow from past to future and scientists say the present is merely an interface between past and future. The Kahuna believes the present involves the span of events which one is in the process of perceiving and which you can interact. The Kahuna sees a bigger view of the present which is more in line with our perceptions.

The past is what we remember, as if you were to ask your children or family members of events, you would find that each have a different twist to what has occurred. The Kahuna ideas is that divination is outwardly the time that comes after, the result, the consequence, which indicates the Kahuna teaching is that the future is a result of what goes on in the present. The Kahuna teach that the present is the fruit of the past and the seed of the future and therefore, observing the present one can predict the future.

Every change in thought or act influences new variables that can change the course of the outcome and future. The Kahuna knew even by expressing a prediction can change the outcome. The more information about the present, the more accurate the prediction. So, when one opens up and doesn't limit their information the telepathy and clairvoyance flows in order to gather information and the resources.

Divination consists of expanding one's awareness to see the unseen aspects of the present and the daily knowledge. Gathering psychic information is a subconscious process and information doesn't have to be made available to the conscious mind.

The process of psychic prediction is somewhat an ability to estimate the future and sends this to the conscious mind to form words and images. This is why many say, well how do I know if this is just me speaking?

Predicting is more accurate when the near future is gathered from what seeds have come before. A Kahuna that is a diviner has the ability to receive and interpret information without judgment. The more a Kahuna can do this, the more accurate his seeing abilities are.

Divination is used also in healing to check the course of an illness, a treatment and its outcome. This same information gathered he/she can give advice for direction.

Once a kahuna has seen the probable results of the moments thoughts and actions, he/she can introduce new variables so as to change the outcome.

Awareness

The Kahunas have several ways of perceiving reality. This follows the concept that we live in a multidimensional universe and that different effects and experiences can be achieved by shifting our focus from one dimension to another. The dimensions are thought to coexist, so that moving from one to another involves a shift in our attention.

The first level of attention would be our physical experience. This is our daily life realm, where sight, sound, touch, taste, feeling, and smell are taken in. This is an awareness is only considered partial awareness. This awareness has a sense of objective experience, separateness between objects, people and events.

The second level of attention, is our psychic experience. In this awareness there is objective experience, just not as defined, due to the fact one can communicate with the environment and influence it ,this would not be possible in the first level. Subjectivity is more important here, but it is used in a way that acts on the outer world. In this level of awareness one can use mental techniques to create objective events.

The third level of awareness, is a state of relativity. There is time, space, matter, energy, plants, animals that become relative concepts which are all interacting. This state is not action oriented , they are more information oriented. This would be a state where a kahuna could learn of the true nature of an illness, to shift to the second state and perform a psychic healing and shift again to the first and give herbal treatment or do a ritual to impress the one involve to heal.

The forth level of awareness, is of the mystical and universal oneness. This could be considered cosmic consciousness and could alter the way one looks at life and how one can act or can decide to act, it is subjective and cannot be used in a practical way. Example given by King is "if a Kahuna without any means of physical protection, were faced with a man-eating lion, he could use the second level to telepathically influence the lion to leave him alone, and he could shift to third level to determine why he allowed himself to get into such a situation and learn how to change this thinking so as not to do it again." As he shifts to the fourth level of awareness he would understand that he and the lion were united in the bigger picture of things and whatever happened would be right and good in the eyes of the universe. However, if he relied on that state alone, he would probably be eaten.

Take time to learn the 4 levels of awareness, for in Huna this is a most important understanding to learn.

Good & the bad


The Kahuna approach to good, bad or evil is that there is no parallel in Huna as an evil being, such as in Christianity where there is an existence of Satan who tempts souls from living up to the standards of God. The Kahuna considers Satan as an idea of man. The teaching of Huna is that everyone is responsible for their own actions and the results of those actions. In Huna there is no teaching of sin or sinning against God, for God's laws, by their nature cannot be sinned against without ramifications. However, this does not mean that one cannot commit bad or evil act.
The words in Hawaiian used to translate sin explain the Kahuna teaching. Hala, to err by omission. It means missing of the path, or failure in what needs to be done, a mistake, an error in judgment. The word hewa, which is the mistake of going beyond limits, excess or something that is too much and out of balance. The word used that is the closest to evil is ino, where something is done with the intention of hurting another. Intention is the key here and only the individual who commits the act can actually judge what he/she has done. Intent makes the difference. The only universal sin in Huna is violence to life, that includes to intentionly harm life, be it plants, animals, Earth, or people.
There are no commandments in Huna. There is logic. If you commit an act of violence, you will receive violence. If you give love, you will receive love. Everything is one, whole and thus, it follows that you cannot commit violence unless you feel violent about oneself, you cannot hate, without hating the self. If you want growth in your life, love, for love is growth and the more you focus and practice in love of self, to the same degree you will grow and be in joy.
The Hawaiian word for love is Aloha and it means more then hello or goodbye, it means to be happy with, to grow in unity, share your experience, its a way of acting towards each other, watchful alertness, truthful honesty, humility, patient perseverance. Love is an energy growth and happiness.
Emotions to the Kahuna is a movement of energy through the body or excitement, whether it be anger or joy and thoughts are what start up the emotion and a change of thought can change your emotions.

Beliefs


Kahuna,s believed that, belief was the fundamental basis for the experience of any reality and that our experience is conditioned by what we believe, and thus we can only experience what we do believe is possible at some level of our consciousness. The more we believe something, the more profoundly it affects our experience.
For the Kahuna healer, the big task was to get people to change their beliefs from unhealthy to healthy ones.
There are 3 types of beliefs, that can be maintained at the same time, assumption, (paulele), this belief is a belief in which one has no doubts, and the experience is consistent with what one believes, attitude (kauana) which are beliefs that have room for doubt but which are so habitual that they continue to influence ones experience, and opinion (mana'o), which is a belief that is easily changed in the light of new knowledge and brings joy.
The saying "you create your own reality" is the belief of the Kahuna and the kinds of reality you create can also be classified into three categories, subjective and, objective, and projective.
Your subjective reality refers to ones personal sense of what is right, proper, good, moral, correct, successful and useful. It is your judge who has the greatest influence on your health, positive or negative. It is not just a difference of opinion, it is a difference in subjective experience.
Your objective reality deals with substance and facts and the way things seem to be regardless of attitude or opinion in the material world. This belief is easily changed through different interpretations.
Your third type of reality, is due to vibration. This reality begins with subjective and turns objective through mental projection. It is a reality where one creates or share in creating a purpose, bringing your desire from the idea to manifestation in your physical experience.
The Kahuna's did not see reality as something outside the self, but treated all parts as a psychological state.
In Huna, light was a symbol for energy and awareness and the basic idea behind this is that a healthy productive life is connected with a continual increase in awareness. Also the movement of water and water itself was a symbol of life to the Kahunas. So, as perceived by the Kahunas light and life are things that flow and move in cycles.
Though many practitioners bring attention to the after-life, the Kahuna was more focused on the experience of the present life, for the present life experience was a review of the life one has lived and renewal of old acquaintances, and for new growth. The dream plane is another state where we visit and we are free from the body and limitation, a multi -dimensional state of existing as well.
Huna is being aligned with a frequency to gain certain kinds of experience and communicating between the dream state and the waking state which is possible because a person exists in both at the same time, and both are involved in the process of awareness.
You can change your beliefs by exploring past lives or by exploring your present life. To the kahuna both were not separate but important for healing.

Thought Forms & Positive Speech




Every thought carries a vibration in the Middle Self and it becomes even stronger when there is emotion behind it. This is why many of our more negative thoughts manifest more often then our positive ones.
Thoughts that are held by a group also manifest quickly due to the amount of emotion by numbers.
Thoughts have a substance and an effect and the spoken word has power. The Hawaiians took seriously the spoken word for it brought a manifestation of assistance or harm.

It is wise to practice working with your Lower self, in thinking and speaking with positive wording. This is a very powerful tool when creating your future. Most of our speaking is negative. Our attention will naturally focus on what is not right verses what is. Strong programming from our childhood, cultures and societies that support our negative speech.

Your Lower self is always listening, just as your own children listen. The vibration of the negative words move through the cells in your body and can make the difference in one being healthy or ill.

Awareness is key to changing your speech, so listening would be your first step to change. Ask your Lower self to cooperate with helping your family within use positive speech and ask that your Higher Self also to assist you. Then listen to yourself when you speak, and when you find yourself speaking negatively replace it with positive statements. You are not to judge yourself, this listening is to observe the habitualness of what is being played out and listened to, in your Lower self. When you hear another using negative speech, counter it with a positive statement.

This is not an easy practice and takes much time as you realize the conditioning of seeing pain and misery and how the habit of seeing the negativity everywhere.

Many might feel this is not a more real way, or that they are not able to express their true feelings. The fact is, you'll become your true positive feelings. Everyone becomes angry and there is nothing negative about that. The kahuna knew and understood their emotions and processed them in constructive ways and strong feelings are not negative, and can be expressed without destruction. Beware of anything that you notice within your speech that is habitual because this is a reinforcer of your thoughts.
If you hear from within negative expressions, even sarcasm this is sending a mixed message to your Lower self. Example using the word "trying or should". This implies guilt and is in conflict with the Lower and Middle selves. Make sure when you are practicing positive speech that you don't feel guilt. Think about other ways to phrase and in time these will become your habitual speech. Also, exaggerations, ask your Lower self to stay away from words that inflate.
We all carry contradictions. These again carry confusion to the Lower self. If you have a perspective or point of view, just simply state it. You don't have to argue your point with another, just let it go. Using words such as "I know" also expresses you are having trouble understanding the communication that is going on.
Gratitude raises mana in both one who is thankful and thanking. When this is sincerely expressed it reinforces positive outcomes. This includes thanking your Sources and the beauty around you.
Positive speech also is a strong protector from psychic attacks, as is strengthens the Lower self. Constant negativity drains the mana from the aura and thus weakens the aura for psychic attack.
As you clean out the negativity in the Lower self you create a healthy and strong mind.
When learning to practice positive speech, just listen to yourself as much as possible and redirect your expressions. Remember words hold substance and this practice can change your life, and change the world.

The Power Of Prayer

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools and connections you have. It is not begging, it is about co-creating, communication with Source, and the transference of love between you and your Sources. It is process of action-intention.

In Huna prayer is of the greatest importance and when Mana is flowing without any blocks your intentions for assistance or to resolve an issue are heard.

The 3 selves play an important part in prayer. The Lower self gathers the mana which is needed to for the Higher self. The Middle self uses the will and intention and creates the prayer or request and directs the mana. The Higher self manifests the results and again stating, the Higher self must have a great deal of mana to manifest, especially if the request is for a physical or material outcome.

Mana can only be gathered and sent from the Lower self (child) when it is cooperation between the selves. I like to describe it as the child somewhat speaks for the family, so it is most important that the Lower self (child) is not holding complexes about the worthiness of the family within. If the Lower self holds guilt, fear, or negative opinion the seeds of prayer fall to the wayside or if Mana is low, there will be not enough mana to send to the Higher self and the Lower self (child) will feel too ashamed to address the Higher Self (grandparent) for the request and this is why the clearing of blocks in the selves is imperative for manifestation.

In a prior post, I spoke of ways to clear blocks, forgiveness, positive speech, thoughts, clearing negative opinions and self image, erasing the effects of past in the present and in childhood and of course in some cases seeking assistance from another that works in Higher Self Therapy or energy work.

When your awareness increases you will have greater understanding of the workings of your selves and reteaching the Lower self ( child) creates for a loving relationship between your Lower and Middle Selves and for some the 3 selves will be operating as one being.

Huna is a path to self discovery, having to look beneath the surface inward, outward in many directions. It is embracing more of your heart, running out doubt, and uncovering the beauty of you and your uniqueness.

When creating a prayer it need be done with attention for emphasizing any lack of anything is not effective, so clear wording that is positive and in the highest good for all involved is necessary. When creating your prayer it is MOST important to not interfere in the free will of another and there is a fine line there, especially for those that do healing! To visual and send pray in a picture can be very powerful, and those that have trouble visualizing they can hold intention to the goal. In creating your prayer it is also important to release needing to know how it will manifest, for your Higher Self will take care of this.

The fuel behind manifestation is the breath, that Ha breath, as well as your emotional field. Let me share this experience with you.

I was in my healing room and the ceilings were low, and there is a ceiling fan that I keep running during certain times to create a comfortable atmosphere. I reached my hand up to pull mana, and the fan blade struck my hand. Was very painful and left a mark. I without thinking placed my left hand over my hurt hand and using the breath pulled the energy into both hands, all while trying not to cry. I also stated with great emotion, "In our world everything heals instantly" and for 5 seconds I held no doubt. I lifted my hand off the injured hand, and the mark and pain GONE! I realized then, that the emotion and visualization, the brief period of no doubt, (which is the cooperation of all the selves working together) and the pulling of the Mana was the formula and in sync with Source and thus the healing instantaneously took place and the greater the offering with heart, the quicker the prayer is met.

Summary:

To have your prayer take hold, you need strong intention, mana, and no blockages.

The Lower self must be free from guilt, fear or shame.

Good formulated prayer (clear request), without lack.

Usage of the breath.

As you start to progress in your practice of self discovery, you may perhaps experience other forms of healing, various forms of astral traveling, etc....I will not be addressing those at this time for many reasons.

The Beauty Of Union





A picture says a thousand words~



When I reflect upon this picture I see how the world could be. The beauty of the mixture of color, the beauty of the respect for one another, the beauty in showing honor to our elders and the children. The beauty in the reaching out and acknowledgement of each other's being. " I see you", so accurately written in Avatar. I see oneness.

Really, there is no other teaching more powerful than this. ♥

The Cords That Bind♥


There is a word in Hawaiian which defines cords of energy that bind us together. It is the word aka which means shadow, essence or shadow spirit. In metaphysics it might be described as astral or etheric line of energy. Everything and the 3 selves, even thoughts have an aka substance that reaches and makes connections between people and things. An aka cord can connect a person to an object and distance does not matter. It is somewhat a phone line that allows for a telepathic communication to take place.
In Huna the aka cord is important, because through life one makes aka cord connections between things, places and people. A cord can be created thoughts, words or action and the Lower selves can communicate between each other.
When I give an energy treatment, I can communicate with the child or Lower self of another, as well as Middle and Higher self, and this is the way I can assist the being in unblocking their path so mana will flow for them and create wellness.
Many times I am sure you have experienced thinking about someone, and all of a sudden they call and you find out they were also thinking about you. This is how the information travels through the aka cord. Sometimes you might be angry with another, and not voice this anger, and then you find out that this person has become ill. For people who practice Huna there is no coincidence that the angered energy has traveled through the aka cord to the person.
Cutting or removing cords that run between people for the two to start a new beginning is important. There are cords that are acceptable and those that are not and are manipulative. A child will cord the parent naturally to learn and access information, this is acceptable, but as the child moves into adulthood the cords if not removed can become burdensome, and manipulation can take place. Also, you see cords created through relationships that are abusive. You will hear typically that the one being abused continues to go back to the abuser, this is because there is cording that has not been removed. It's somewhat like pulling a Dandelion, and if you don't get the root, it grows back. This is the same in cording. People tend to cord each other in the same weakened spot, so removing cords need to be done regularly through an energy worker. People that work in a more serving support fields usually are loaded with cords, such as teachers, nurses, doctors, social workers, psychologists, healers, etc... Again, these cords need to be removed as they tend to take away mana or life force.
Summarizing; Everything has aka substance.
Aka is like a phone line that stretches and is sticky and distance isn't limited.
Aka cords are created through thoughts, words and actions and you form aka cords with people, objects and places.
It is important to cut aka cords when the cording no longer serves you.
Thoughts have aka substance and can have a material effect throughout the universe.
Note: all people have corded someone at one time or another! Until you are aware of what is happening people are not really intending to do this. Cording that is manipulative of course are the types of cords healers as myself are concerned with removing.
I will give you an example of cording. The college student calls their mother for money each week, and each week the mother gives in to the wants of her daughter. She voices her anger, and tells herself and others that she will not give her another cent. The call comes again from her daughter, and again she gives her the money. The mother is confused for she can not understand her behavior and why she continues to give her daughter the money. This is because the daughter has corded her in the 1st chakra which is where many children chord their parents. The 1st charkra is the root or foundation and children will cord in the lower chakra's or energy centers. Once the cord is removed the mother would see that she would have no problems saying no to her daughters requests. She would also find out that the energy after cutting the cord or twisting it out carefully like a weed, that she has more energy and her daughter also has more energy.
Keep in mind that every positive thought adds to the storage of positivity in the universe, and every negative thought adds to the storage of negativity in the universe.
