Catching the Wave of Life as Huna
Over my entire life, I have had a fascination with the word, ‘kahuna’. Several years ago, I read Dan Millman’s book, ‘The Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior’ about his meeting with a female shaman, a kahuna, in the Hawiian rainforest, to discover his next steps in life. I loved it. Then, in 1996, a cherished friend, told me about her flights to Hawaii to learn about Huna with several different teachers. I started to vibrate inside as I heard her speak and I knew that I would soon find my way, there. One year from the time that she had described her experience to me, I found myself in Hawaii.
Living by ancient Huna’s vital, enduring, yet timeless concepts has inspired me to reclaim my own personal power through the discovery of what has always, in all ways, been present within, yet unknown and unconscious to me. It has provided such an easy template by which to design and live my life. Its notions are both esoteric and spiritual; yet, for me, they form both the art and the science of Being, of magic and miracles. Like the Hermetic philosophy of manifesting heaven on earth, Huna has become my portal to deliberately and consciously claiming, owning, sustaining and remembering the truth that I am not my body… I am so much more. As information and energy in flow, my essence – my unique vibration in my world – knows its expression through my body as an organic, quantum and biological processor. And… because both are genius, I am doubly blessed.
I know that I live in a holographic universe. I have learned, through Huna, that what presents is never about what it is… ever. The word, Huna, means secret – not as in keeping the ancient and venerable truth of whom I am, shrouded in mystery, such that I deny my own sovereign light (and, ultimately, deny yours, too), but, rather, in intentionally respecting the integrity and generosity of spirit of all that is me… and not me, as well.
Before purposefully immersing and initiating myself into my own Self-discovery through the processes of Huna, I knew about the Three Selves only in an intellectual perspective… and I had no awareness of the four bodies, per sé, that comprise the Quantum Biological Human™. As I continued to test drive these concepts, I became one with them. I know, now, that I am manifesting all the time; the question that I keep in mind is ‘What am I manifesting?’ I have come to know each one of my four bodies, intimately… and there is, still, so much more for me to discover about me!
My physiology is a direct result of my emotional state. My state is directly impacted by my thinking. And… my thinking is fed by my connection to all that is. My conscious mind, my intellect, chooses from the information that is offered up by my higher self, the void, the field of all potential, through the sensory cues in my body. I have found this to be such a dynamic way to live my life, that content has become unnecessary, while the context of living my life… fully alive… has become hugely significant. No more do I strive to have, so that I can do, so that I can BE. The only way that I can now live, is to BE, where ‘doing’ and ‘having’ just simply show up in support of whom I AM becoming. Even in those rare times, now, when I forget the magic and the miracle of whom and what I AM – and I fall asleep to my energetic signature as it expresses through the sensory cues of my body – I continue to mindfully choose to engage each moment and each breath in the creativity of the GodForce that I AM.
Before Huna, I was wrapped up in details, analysis, content and figuring things out. Now, I finally ‘grok’ that due diligence, relative to information available in the moment, will always assist me in making the best decision I can… respected by the clarity of that choice as directly attendant to me bearing witness to what I feel and know inside, where I live. This means that my life, my business, my relationships, my experience of myself and of others now enjoy a simplicity that I have few words for. I smile now and shake my head, when I consider just how much complexity I used to live my life by… intricacies that were totally out of my awareness… yet, so enervating to my life experience. Complexity, I thought, made me look smart… and, yet, I was always in chaos, looking for clarity. Surrendering to the genius of my body as the transformer for what’s possible knows a simplicity that, for me, defies description. Simplicity IS the Clarity! Who knew?
I know that I AM here to manifest myself… in the present… right now. I ask the signal that I am for what I want; I pay attention to the sensory cues in my body; I choose… and, so it goes.
Huna does mean secret and, perhaps, its secret is its very simplicity. Life was never meant to be difficult or hard. My ease now reveals itself in me trusting the authenticity of my intuition (my body response), first and foremost, instead of the ‘lie’ (considered culturally expedient) of my intellect. My ease, now, knows the intense intimacy of inspiration, the wave of breath in my body. My past experience of dis-ease, by contrast, knew motivation as forced performance.
My experience of Huna is one of huge aloha for myself. In a holographic universe, that means aloha (= breathing space) for all. Easy. Simple. Effortless.
