Unlock the ancient Hawaiian secrets of Huna—a powerful blend of spirituality, personal power, and shamanism—to achieve modern goals through timeless wisdom, intention, and the spirit of Aloha. The ancient Hawaiian wisdom of Huna has been guarded for centuries—handed down through line of kinship to form the tradition of pre-missionary Hawai’i. Dating back to the time before the first missionary presence arrived in the islands, the tradition of Huna is more than just a philosophy of living—it is intertwined and deeply connected with every aspect of Polynesian philosophy and Hawai’i itself. Blending ancient Hawaiian secrets for modern living with practical application, Serge Kahili King imparts the philosophy behind the beliefs, history, and foundation of Huna. More important, King shows readers how to use Huna philosophy to attain both material and spiritual goals. To those who practice Huna, there is a deep understanding about the true nature of life—and the real meaning of personal power, intention, and belief. Through exploring the Huna and the seven principles around which the practice revolves, King passes onto readers a timeless and powerful spirituality rooted in Shamanism, the spirit of Aloha, and lasting wisdom.

ISBN: 9781582702018 What Is Huna? Hu'ea pau 'ia e ka wai All scooped up by rushing water(Everything is told, no secrets are kept) On the islands of the South Pacific, influenced by a world of sea and sand, volcanoes and palm trees, hurricanes and gentle breezes, there exists a unique path of living that is sometimes called "The Way of the Adventurer." It is an ancient path that is so powerful and so practical that it works as well in modern times as it did in the misty past. This way is based on a Polynesian philosophy called Ka Huna , which means "The Secret." Before describing it in detail, however, it would be best to "talk story," as the Hawaiians say, in order to introduce the ideas that form the basis of Huna. What Is New Is Old and What Is Old Is Also New It is 207 AD, and a middle-aged man, wearing a pure white robe made from the bark of a tree, squats down on an outcropping of lava rock facing the ocean. From out of a woven raffia pouch he takes a worn stone carved to resemble a fish and sets it down on the black lava. In a trilling, chanting voice, he speaks to the stone, moving it in various directions in response to some internal impulse that only he is aware of. Finally, he stops chanting, relaxes, and smiles down at the piece of stone that now points toward the mountains behind him. Then he stands up and shouts to the fishermen who have been waiting, "Get the nets ready! The fish will be here in abundance when the sun reaches kahiki-ku , (the sky overhead) in the late afternoon." It is 2007, and a young woman in a well-tailored business suit is on her way to an important meeting. Strapped comfortably in the window seat of the 777 jet, she leafs through the airline magazine to pass the time. Suddenly she puts the magazine down, aware of an event forming in her environment. Moments later the plane shakes as it enters rough air, the warning lights for seat belts go on, and the captain's voice announces that everyone should stay seated
