![]() One can not speak about HUNA without adding a tip of the hat to Max Freedom Long (MFL) because he gave this system the name Huna, and he spent the last 52 years of his life trying to reclaim the lost secrets of the kahunas. MFL lived in Hawai'i from 1917 - 1932. I HIGHLY regard the writings of Max Freedom Long; but in some places he reached the wrong conclusions, or overlooked important factors. Ho'omana is the Hawai’ian word for religion; but I do not believe the Hawai’ians had an official name for their spirituality. I will use the name HUNA throughout this document because many people are already aware of the name, and have a frame of reference. I must mention two facts where MFL's research was involved
Ha'ole was not used originally as an insult or slur against white people, as many people believe it to be. Ha'ole means “breathless one”, and was originally directed at the "Christian" missionaries. The kahuna pule ( poolay) were the prayer experts, and would breathe deeply to gather a surcharge of mana before prayer to aid in manifesting the prayer, and the missionaries only said the prayer. 1. In HUNA there are 10 components of a human being.
Ok. Back to the three-self thing. Many different cultures around the world share the same perception. The Jewish kabbalists (I do not remember the names the kaballists used at The present time). The more I study the kabbalah, the less I seem to understand. In the kabbalah is a practice called the tree of life; there were three pillars that hold the 10 sephiroth. One was the middle pillar, the others were the pillar of severity and the pillar of mercy (if memory serves). The Lakota Indians for whom the spirit was (nagi), the soul was (nagapi), and their totem (power) animal. To Mongolian shamans they are called ami, suns, and suld. How about the treiskele symbol of the Celtic people? It shows a three-in-one symbol. How about the Druid symbol; the "three drops of awen"? It also shows three-in-one symbol. Thanks to J.S. for this three in one symbol that I was unaware of "Even the valknut of the Vikings is 3 triangles overlapping into 1 triangle." 2. The secret to HUNA is in bringing the three selves into harmony. When you craft an effective HUNA prayer action; each of the three selves has a distinct job to do. If the three selves are out of harmony; your prayer actions are likely to fail. You have to merge the three levels of consciousness. Your ‘Aumakua protects and guides your through life. Your Uhane needs to grow spiritually, and train your Unihipili. Your Unihipili does not like to be forced into paths that are outside the Unihipili’s realm of experience. So to encourage your Unihipili to walking this path; you need to be spiritual part of the time, then do things occasionally that your Unihipili enjoys; so your Unihipili will not feel that you are treating it with respect. a. Your Unihipili
If your Unihipili feels unloved or unvalued; it can rebel like a child (by not cooperating with your directives, recall memories when you need them, you may become a klutz, you may have accidents (accidentally cut, or burn yourself, and even go so far to have car accidents). I know some may scoff at the idea that the Unihipili resides in the solar plexus instead of the brain, and healthy skepticism is fine. Have you ever been startled by a loud noise (gun fire, fire crackers, etc; and you feel all of the energy drain from your body, and you feel a funny feeling at the top of the stomach. That is the Unihipili kicking into the fight or flight reaction. So far; scientists have not been able to find and define consciousness in the brain or anywhere else for that matter. Many recipients of organ transplants have experienced memories or cravings of their organ donor or even remembering or dreaming the organ donor's name. b. Your Uhane
Perhaps other tasks. c. Your 'Aumakua
Creates the kind of future we tell it we want (by our thoughts). If you want a better future; change the way you think, and give mana surcharges to your 'Aumakua so it can work on the physical plane in your behalf. Maintains memories of all previous incarnations, much older and wiser than the Unihipili and Uhane. Has a perfect pattern for the kino kanaka (This is how instant Healings occur; by using the perfect pattern of the kino kanaka stored by the 'Aumakua instead of using the damaged pattern held by the Unihipili). Will not violate the free will of the Uhane or Unihipili except briefly to prevent life threatening accidents. Just about ANYTHING is possible if it maintains harmony and is in the person's best interest. d. Aka substance.
Cup and hold your hands so that your finger tips are about an inch or two apart, and spread your fingers so none of them touch one another (this prevents you from grounding the energy back into your body). While breathing deeply and SLOWLY use the intent of building a surcharge of mana between your hands. You should strive to control your breath to 5 breaths a minute or less (compared to the normal 15-18 breaths a minute), because the longer the oxygen is in contact with your lung tissue, the more mana you extract from it. Tradition is to use four sets of four breaths or even 10 sets of four breaths to build a mana surcharge for the prayer. Visualize your prayer picture as if it were the cover of a balloon in the area between your hands. The more mana you pour into the prayer picture the brighter and more realistic the prayer picture becomes. Use intent to put mana into the space between your hands. You may want to visualize a sparkling gold/amber mist forming between your hands. At first you may think it is only imagination or coincidence, but the more you work with mana; the more you will come to experience mana is something real instead of your imagination or coincidence, and help you develop faith. There are MANY ways to do a ha rite, and all of them work. All a ha rite is; is breathing deeply with the intent to accumulate a mana surcharge in the kino kanaka before prayer, then select a prayer picture (if you are not visually oriented; holding the single intent in your mind will work just as well), then send the prayer picture or intent and mana surcharge to your 'Aumakua. It need not be more complicated than that. There are four things to consider in crafting an effective HUNA prayer action.
There are other breathing patterns that build a mana surcharge much more quickly; but I hesitate to teach those breathing patterns to beginners with no energy work experience. After using this method of gathering mana surcharges for a few months; feel free to E-Mail me for these more advanced breathing patterns. When you feel the mana surcharge growing between your hands, you will feel a pulsing, tingling, heat, or a dense force between your hands. When you are satisfied with the mana surcharge, and prayer picture pr intent, expel a quick burst of breath and visualize it going around the prayer picture and the mana surcharge binding them together. Then separate your hands and allow the prayer picture and mana surcharge to float away to be taken by your 'Aumakua. One last comment about manifestation of prayers. Do not expect to wake up one morning with the car parked on the drive way, or be awarded a bonus where you can buy the car. The car could manifest any number of ways.
Do the ha rite, and place your hands where the person reports pain (if this is a private area (the breasts or genitals) place your hands about 4-6 inches above the body; but still inside the persons aura) and visualize the person as completely well and healthy, but send the mana surcharge and prayer picture to the person's 'Aumakua instead of the person. Their 'Aumakua will ramp the energy to mana loa, then back through your hands to heal the person. Should the person report pain in another place; move your hands to the new location where they report pain. You are NOT the healer. The higher powers and the person's Unihipili do the healing. The only credit that we "healers" deserve; is for gathering the mana surcharge and choosing a good prayer picture. If the healing does not appear to be doing anything; the problem may be with a fixation in the person's Unihipili. Just in case the Unihipili is blocking the healing; ask the person to tell you an activity they enjoy; but they cannot do now because of the ailment; then change the prayer picture where you visualize that person doing that activity in complete health. If you see results after you get the cooperation from the Unihipili to heal the person; then assist them in clearing the fixation "The Unihipili's belief that it deserves to be sick". By doing the technique above, I have seen people flush beet red from the top of their head to their waist in only minutes. HUNA is my favorite healing modality! This is saying something when I have studied more than 12 natural healing modalities, and received mastership or higher in 8 of them. 5. There are spiritual powers above the level of the 'Aumakua. The Po'e 'Aumakua (these are the great company of souls that have passed over to the realm of spirit and do not need to reincarnate on the physical plane), the akua (deities acknowledged by the Hawai'ians). There are other levels above the Akua before getting to the single creator. The name is sometimes spelled AEO, EO, E'O, IAO, or IO. In my opinion; E'O is the correct spelling; based on the Hawai’ians use of the glottal stop placed in words and names between syllables (where the first syllable ends with a vowel, and the next syllable begins with a vowel. Here are some examples of the glottal stop in names (Ai'ai, Aila'au, Ha'inakolo, Hi'iaka)). The glottal stop is pronounced as a brief pause. The Hawai'ians believed the spiritual powers above the Akua were beyond human comprehension. After some of my experiences with these higher powers, I agree with the ancient Hawai’ians completely! MFL never acknowledged the Akua or higher spiritual powers in his series of books. He was too busy trying to turn Jesus into a kahuna. 6. Clearing complexes or fixations. A complex is your Unihipili holding onto wrong ideas about sin, guilt, shame, fear, etc These were put in your Unihipili by your parents or guardians, authority figures (ministers, doctors, teachers, etc then reinforced by your Uhane. If your Unihipili feels, guilty, ashamed, unloved or unworthy of receiving help from the higher powers, it will not send the mana surcharge and prayer picture to your 'Aumakua. A terrific example of a complex is how parents, guardians other authority figures brainwash a child into accepting the notion that they are stupid, will never amount to anything, etc, then our Uhane's reinforce those complexes by our thoughts such as "I can't do that", "That is too hard", "I feel miserable", etc. Negative self talk is very damaging to your Unihipili. Please use caution how you deal with impressionable children. "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.". Hurtful words are almost impossible to heal; because they can be held by the child's Unihipili for the rest of their life; unless they learn how to remove those faulty programs from their subconscious mind! This spiritual technology is the best method I have found (so far) to erase those faulty programs. The paragraph above is from first-hand experience. My guardians were "Christian", and they could not cope with a psychic child that did not have the sense to keep his BIG MOUTH SHUT. A “fixation” is the Unihipili holding on to the wrong idea about money, your poor health, bigotry for another race, etc. Fixations are generally implanted by your own negative self talk. Let me take a moment to go into one complex, and one fixation. Then you can do the internal work on the other complexes and fixations as you become aware of them. Many people are aware of the alleged "10 commandments,” and the commandment "Thou shallt not kill." Your Unihipili has very limited reasoning ability, and takes such decrees from authority figures (parents ministers teachers, etc.) literally. There are no "BUT” or “EXCEPT” clauses in that commandment. We kill every day of our lives. The animals and vegetables we eat for food, and the millions of viruses and bacteria that are destroyed by our immune system every day. In my opinion; the world would be a more harmonious and healthier place if children were taught the one HUNA commandment "Harm nothing with hatred." I am sure that you have been told as I was "If you get your feet wet; you will catch a cold. Our Unihipili takes such statements literally, and will cooperate with such decrees and manifest illness; but you deserve to be healthy. Generate a surcharge of mana between your hands with the Ha rite, and say an affirmation such as "I deserve to be in perfect health", then push the ball of mana in your solar plexus. By stating the affirmation, and providing the surcharge of mana, you convince the Unihipili that the Uhane is an authority figure, and your Unihipili will begin to cooperate with your wishes. I am also sure you were taught as I was "It is more blessed to give than receive.". This wrong idea causes both people to be out of harmony (the giver because of perceived duty, and the receiver from a status of inferiority). Max Freedom Long recommended doing good deeds for others so the Unihipili will feel worthy of requesting help from the 'Aumakua and Po'e 'Aumakua. This technique did not work for me; but may work for you. I developed a ritual to help persuade my Unihipili to release those old patterns that no longer served me. This little ritual set me free. You may want to give your Unihipili a name in order to make it feel valued and develop a relationship with it. MFL reportedly called his Unihipili "George". Several HUNA authors recommend the name Subby (for sub conscious). Personally; I find the name Subby to be an insult because it sounds as if the Unihipili is subservient; but that is just my opinion. The name you call your Unihipili is entirely up to you; but I would suggest using a pendulum to see if your Unihipili likes the name. A good way to identify complexes and fixations is to use a pendulum. Teach your Unihipili which way to swing the pendulum for yes, and the way to swing the pendulum when the answer is no, then talk to the Unihipili and ask if you have a complex on sin, guilt, shame, etc, or fixations on lack of money, health problems, etc. It is normal for the Unihipili to ignore you requests to communicate at first because many people have ignored the Unihipili for years, and it may not take your request to communicate seriously, so keep using the pendulum until the Unihipili begins cooperating. This is the ritual to clear complexes and fixations. I would identify a complex or fixation to work with, such as sin. Then take a piece of paper, (a small post-it note will work perfectly). Take a pen and write the name of the complex or fixation on the paper. Use big ugly letters to evoke emotion. Hold the paper between your hands and perform the ha rite, and visualize filling your body with mana (a sparkling gold/amber colored mist works well for the visualization), and use the intent that the mana will drive the complex or fixation from the body, so see the complex or fixation as black smoke running down your arms into the piece of paper. When your body is full of mana, and the complex or fixation is completely in the paper, expel a quick burst of breath and visualize the breath going around the piece of paper; trapping the complex or fixation inside the paper, then burn the paper, and tell your Unihipili that the complex or fixation has been destroyed by the fire. For a while, your Unihipili will try to remind you to feel guilty about some perceived wrong (the Unihipili is much like a computer; in the fact that it only knows what it has been taught by your parents, guardians, or your Uhane. The Unihipili has the reasoning ability of about a five-year-old Child (unable to link cause and effect)). Gather a surcharge of mana in the kino kanaka and gently remind the Unihipili that the complex or fixation was destroyed by the fire. Another good technique would be to transfer the complex or fixation into a rock then either burry the rock in the dirt or throw the rock into a lake, Pond, or stream; so the negative energies may be transmuted by Mother Earth. If this is not realistic; burry the rock in a flower pot. This spiritual technology works because the Unihipili is unable to discern the difference between a real and an imagined event, and the space that WAS filled by the complex or fixation is now filled with mana and you do not leave an empty vacuum for the Unihipili to fill with another negative habit. 7. Now that You have a decent understanding of the how and whys of HUNA, I need to briefly touch on some subjects.
Meditation does not need to be a complex practice like Zazen, Transcendental Meditation, Actualism, or others. A simple meditation would be to place an object in front of you (apple, orange, key, etc), and look at it until you are aware of every curve or blemish on the object. Now close your eyes and try to visualize the object as completely and vibrant as you can in your mind. I would recommend for you to hold a stopwatch in your hands and start the stopwatch when you visualize the object, then stop the stopwatch when the visualization begins to lose focus or change shape. Open your eyes and see how long you were able to maintain the image in your mind. If you were able to maintain the image more than 30 seconds for the first time congrats! Then look at the object again and hold the image in you mind as long as you can, and keep it up till you spend 10-15 minutes a day to strengthen your mental focus. You should keep strengthening your mental focus until you can hold the image in your mind for 10 minutes. After you reach the 10 minute threshold; choose more complex images to hold in your mind. Here are my favorite techniques to strengthen my mental focus.
Exercises to strengthen the mental focus are very important because the longer you can focus your mind on one goal like a laser; the longer you will be able to direct mana to your goal.
Should you need to clear evil or negativity from a dwelling or person, charge salt water with mana loa and sprinkle the water with a pine branch on the floor of the dwelling. Pine is also high in mana. You could also protect a house by charging salt with mana loa and sprinkle the salt in your home. Before doing any of these techniques; wait to dusk or dark so the evil or negative entities will not be harmed by the bright light of day. If you are forced to do a cleansing in the day time; provide the entities with a sea shell, rock, or piece of wood to hide in, while doing the cleansing, then take the object in the woods and leave it where the bright light of day will not hurt the entity. If you have either a pine bonsai tree or a ti plant in your bedroom; you are likely to have a hard time falling asleep. For psychic protection you can carry a tumbled piece of amethyst and obsidian in your pocket. Iolite and Moldavite are good for strengthening the aura.
Remember hurricane Lili in 2002 which was in the Gulf Of Mexico? This hurricane went down from a category 4 hurricane to a category 2 hurricane Overnight, and went down to the level of a tropical storm before landfall. The weather people were expecting Lili to get stronger because of the warm water in the Gulf of Mexico. Myself and many, many others were praying that Lili would break up before land fall. Now I need to spend a moment in discussing the boomerang effect of using mana consciously. If you use mana to help yourself and others, good things will come back to you. And if you use mana in attempts to manipulate people against their will (even if you think it is the best for them), you will suffer the consequences. Charlotte Berney lists a HUNA vow on page 72 of her excellent book "Fundamentals Of Hawaiian Mysticism.” (the best HUNA book in print (in my humble opinion)). I say that if you approach the world around you in the spirit of aloha, and live your life according to the one HUNA commandment, "Harm nothing with hatred." you will live the HUNA vow without even thinking about it. 8. This is a quick 101 introduction to HUNA. I would HIGHLY recommend you supplement this knowledge by buying one or more of the assorted HUNA books in the bibliography. In the future, do your best to live by the one HUNA commandment "Harm nothing with hatred." If I had done the research Max Freedom Long did, I would not have called this system HUNA (meaning “secret”). I would have named this system Pule me mana. 9. I must point out a few errors in assorted HUNA books. Please do not think the issues I am discussing below; is bashing the writings of MFL or other HUNA authors in any way. Considering all of the factors working against MFL; I am amazed he got as much right as he did.
2. The Israelites worshiped ONLY the Creator (according to their understanding). The Hawai’ians knew of the Creator E'O; but did not work with the spiritual powers above the Akua because they considered the spiritual powers higher than the Akua to be beyond human comprehension. 3. The Israelites viewed the Creator as a jealous and wrathful God; who demanded blood sacrifices. The Hawai’ians offerings were generally flowers, food, tobacco, awa, a rock wrapped in a ti leaf, or some alcoholic beverage such as whiskey, gin, etc There was only one deity who requested blood offerings (human sacrifices), god Kuka'ilimoku (god of War); but the people were free to work with any of the Akua, the Po’e 'Aumakua, or just their 'Aumakua. Generally the Hawai’ians did not work with the Akua unless they had an emergency situation. You may find that pigs were offered to Pele; but these were not sacrifices as you would normally think of as sacrifices. The pig was cooked, and Pele was asked to take the essence of the food; then later the meat provided food for the people too. 4. To accept the notion that Hawaiians are a lost tribe of Israel; one MUST accept that they lost ALL of the following factors in one transoceanic voyage.
I don’t believe it because the Israelites had not lost these factors by being held in bondage in Egypt, Babylon, and on several other occasions, and lastly; Adolph Hitler and the Nazi’s murdered more than 6 million Israelites during the Holocaust.
