Huna & ho oponopono

The 7 principles of Huna

* IKE (ee-kay) - The world is what you think it is.

We create our own reality through our thoughts attitudes & our belief system. This also means that we can change anything, since we are the creators.

* KALA - There are no limits.

There are an infinite amount of possibilities at any time. We can create what ever we want to as everything is possible.

* MAKIA (mah-kee-ah) - Energy flows where attention goes.

Focusing on something will "make is so". This means that in order to live a happy life, we must focus on happiness. In order to have love in our lives we must focus on love. If you focus on "not having love" then you will manifest that into existence.

* MANAWA (man-ah-wah) - Now is the moment of power.

This means that we are powerful & effective when we focus on the now & are living in the present moment. We are not powerful we live or our focus in the past.

* ALOHA - To love is to be happy with (someone or something).

This means that one should love & bless all the things that they want in life. It also means unconditional positive regard.

* MANA - All power comes from within.

We own our power, we have the power to change our lives. No one can take our power or have power over us unless we let them. It is our choice.

* PONO - Effectiveness is the measure of truth.

To live by the 7 principles will enable you to live an effective & positive life.

Ho'oponopono meditation
Ho'oponopono mediation is one of many profound Huna techniques.

Ho'oponopono means to "to set things right".

The concept behind Ho'oponopono is that we create our own reality, it comes from within us & is not an external entity.

As we are the creators of our reality, we have the ability to change it.

Ho'oponopono is about letting go of the past to create peace & a space for new experiences.

Ho'oponopono meditation
I would like to share my favourite mediation that I have adapted from the Ho'oponopono technique.

1 Light a Candle & sit down in a quiet space where you will not be disturbed

2 Take several deep breaths until you feel centred & calm

3 Imagine golden light pouring though the top of your head, bathing each cell & surrounding your body

4 Next, think of anyone who you has hurt you in the past or who you feel has hurt you

5 Picture the person in front of you & mentally say "I apologize, I forgive you, I love you". Surround the person in golden light as they walk away.

6 Visualize the next person & repeat the phrase, again surround them with golden light.

7 Continue this process until you can't think of anyone else (remember to forgive yourself!). This might take 5 minutes, 30 minutes or over an hour. Give yourself enough time to perform this healing.

8. Finally give thanks all the people you have visualized & thank yourself

9. Take a few clarifying breaths & open your eyes. Have a large glass of water to ground & cleanse you
