"Huna" means "hidden." This is the wisdom behind appearances that the Hawaiian Kahuna developed over centuries of learning & practice. These principles are considered practical techniques, not mere symbols. Emerging ideas, such as "The Secret," are uncannily similar, don't you think?
The Seven Principles of Huna
IKE -The world is what you think it is.
KALA -There are no limits, everything is possible.
MAKIA - Energy flows where attention goes.
MANAWA - Now is the moment of power.
ALOHA - To love is to be happy with.
MANA - All power comes from within.
PONO - Effectiveness is the measure of truth.

That's really pretty cool.
Intriguing...
Gorgeous sunset over the ocean.
Ike and Kala. I can feel the energy between them. Aloha, Cloudia.
"The world is what you think it is" sounds pretty scientific, but that second principle sort of sends a very different message.
What beautiful reminders! Thanks for posting them.
Beautiful photos as well... it's nice to escape the cold gray for a few moments.

Hi, BubbleWench!!!!!
Dave King: I'm intriguing- YOU are the explicator extraordinaire!
B.J- Just for You, in trade for your cool blog shots!
Grandpa- No doubt your poet's ear finds the gems in raw words. Aloha.
Charles- Huna practicioners says that all of these principles are "tools" and that they achieve tangible results. so the apparent tension among/between them might be fertile ground to unearth raw data vis a vis our material existance. I need to rest my head now . . . ;-)
Strange Pilgrim- Mahalo (thank you) funny, I enjoy my visits to your blog in Italy. together we're all dynamite!

I will keep these thoughts today. They are very wise. I see at work that energy follows attention. It's always a better day when I focus on the good the kids do!
Thanks for stopping by, friend.
Great post - love the Huna wisdom! And that one sky in particular reminds me of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - "tangerine sky"
All the things a person who meditates and works with light already knows. The study of scientific matters leaves much unexplained.
Why do we need al those inspirational speakers if we have the wisdom of Huna?
