Huna in Hawaii

I have recently returned from Hawaii which was truly spectacular and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I was in Hawaii for a personal development program related to my home business in personal development as well as to relax and enjoy the company of my beloved.  So I travelled all of that way to this remarkable conference, spent days in the company of like minded people and came away having had another life changing experience.  However it was not until I returned home and read a particularly captivating article about Hawaii that I realised that I have missed something special and will have to return!!  What a shame.

I refer to an article “The Secret Science Behind Miracles” published in New Dawn, written by Richard Smoley. For a personal development devotee, this is a lovely article that provides a good beginning for understanding the Hawaiian tradition of “Huna“.  Smoley explains that the fundamental idea behind Huna is that a person, rather than being a single coherent entity has three parts that work in harmony (or not as the case may be).  There is the strong, intuitive, emotional self, the reasoning self and the wise, utterly devoted, utterly loving parental self.

The article goes on to teach how to work with the three selves, to take guidance when making decisions and increase your self awareness through this practice. Serge Kahili King a noted Kahuna, says that attentive self-enquiry will eventually lead you to see the beliefs upon which you base your actions and once consciously recognised you can then change them if you so desire.  Now I am aware that beliefs can and often are limiting and I have a few that I am working to change.  You see why I must go back!!!  How much fun would it be to work with a Kahuna.
