Ancient Philosophies that Stand the Test of Time

The seven principals of Huna - Secret Hawaiian Wisdom

1. IKE - the world is what you think it is - BE AWARE
When one is aware of their thoughts, words and actions in nearly every moment th
roughout their day, one can, after a period of time by choosing a more positive,
peaceful, loving and compassionate way of being, find that the path that they a
re on soon becomes nothing but positive, peaceful, loving and compassionate. Bei
ng aware of how we act and react to everyday circumstances gives us a clear unde
rstanding of ourselves and the people and environment that is around us, e.g. ar
e we a positive person, do we have compassion for our fellow human beings when t
hey are crying out for help (yelling at us, blaming us for their unhappy circums
tances etc.) I believe fully that when people are showing anger, frustration and
aggression towards us, they in a way, can't even see us. They're looking straig
ht in a mirror talking to themselves, its just that you are there for them to ex
press how they are truly feeling deep inside. So don't take it personally, just
listen and love them. By being aware we take reasonability for everything in our
world. We can change it for the better if we so choose, so be aware of what's w
orking and not working in your life and change it, have a clear plan and go for
it NOW.
2. KALA - There are no limits, BE FREE
There are no limits in this universe if we fully understand and believe this, th
e only thing on this 3 dimensional earth plane that has limits is our own mind,
nine times out of ten due to conditioning from society and our upbringing, the o
nly thing stopping us from reaching our full potential, our goals and dreams is
our mind. So start NOW changing your thought patterns, beliefs and habits that h
old you back. Believe me you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, as I s
ay, we only get one crack at this lifetime, though you only have this lifetime o
nce, there has never been in the history of the universe and never will be a set
of circumstances that you find yourself in NOW. There will never be another lik
e you and never has been another like you, your unique, just like every other be
ing in the universe. So please make the most of every year, week, day, hour and
second, live your dream, be that amazing being you came here to be because every
year, week, day, hour and second you don't is another precious moment we never
get back so choose NOW to be free.
3. MAKIA - energy goes where attention goes - BE FOCUSED
Put all your energy into achieving what you want out of this life, be focused an
d clear on what it really is you want. Place your energy into having a happy, jo
yful and loving life NOW. Focus your attention on what makes your heart sing and
open up fully, take steps in achieving what you consider a fulfilling life and
remember, yours is most certainly going to be different to the other four billio
n people that live on this planet so encourage others to do the same and live an
d let live.
4. MANAWA - now is the moment of power - BE HERE
Especially in today's world we all tend to be living either in the past or in th
e future and are certainly not in the present moment. When your either in the pa
st or future our energy becomes scattered and drained, we miss so many opportuni
ties by not being in the moment. When we take control and be present we can achi
eve so much more, experience so much and understand so much more. We certainly g
et more done emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. By being in the
NOW we allow ourselves to fully take in what's happening around us, for example,
what do we usually do when we simply go for a lovely walk? Our mind starts thin
king what do I have to do tomorrow at work, I wonder what I will do this weekend
, it was upsetting how my husband/wife spoke to me yesterday, it really annoys m
e and so forth. If you'd been in the moment you would have noticed the wonderful
sights, smells, noises and so on, on your little journey. These are Gods gifts
to us. When we are in the NOW we fully experience all of what this beautiful wor
ld has to offer. Enjoy the NOW.

5. ALOHA - To love is to be happy with - BE HAPPY

This really sums everything up and that is love. I understand that love is the k
ey to a wonderful happy and fulfilling life. This is what every being should str
ive for, for love is everything, so give it, be it, receive it, become it and fu
lly embrace it at all times. Love is the highest, strongest and most purest form
of energy in the universe. This is the key to life, the fundamental reason that
we exist, why we go through all of these experiences. This is the answer to lif
e, it really is pretty simple but in the same breath so hard to achieve. So choo
se NOW to start unconditionally loving yourself for if we don't love ourselves u
nconditionally how can we truly love another. We cannot give to another what we
don't truly have for ourselves, its distorted conditional love
that we try to give to another if we don't love ourselves. So just Love.
ALOHA the real meaning of this word is =ALO to be with, to share an experience,
to be in the moment, OHA= joy.happiness. HA=life, breath, spirit. To love is to
share the happiness of life here and now.
6. MANA - all power comes from within - BE CONFIDENT
True power, that is from the heart and not from ego. It is very essential to ach
ieving your goals. We need to be strong, confident and courageous to fulfill our
potential on this planet. It really is the driving force that helps us push thr
ough the hard times on this earth, and when the power is pure it drives us to he
lp ourselves and inspire others to do the same. So as with love, strive for clea
r power and build your mana everyday. See yourself to be full of confidence NOW.
. choose to be a confident person NOW.. cultivate this energy and harness its fu
ll power and you will move mountains.
7. PONO - effectiveness is the measure of truth - Be POSITIVE
In this day and age it is very hard to stay positive when a lot of what's going
on around us seems so negative. The effect of both these energies can be very st
rong and especially negative energy and thought can be sometimes overwhelming. S
o remember its all about attitude, having a positive outlook on life, try and be
positive as much as possible.. And before you know it everything in your life w
ill become positive. I believe like attracts like.. Be positive NOW and soon you
will start attracting positive people, situations and outcomes.
