H.U.N.A.
by Paul Waters, M.A.
For most people that I meet for the very first time, invariably the question
arises: "What IS Huna?" Until now, I have usually gone into a lengthy discourse
on Hawaiian healing, the Huna Kupua views of reality, and how one can
effectively use the powers of the mind and the forces of Nature to effect
change. By the time I am finished, they are usually asleep, or scratching their
heads wondering, "Why did I ask!"
Now, after careful consideration of a terser means of expression, I have
developed an acronym for its definition. If you are having the same trouble of
defining Huna to others, this may be of use. H.U.N.A. is the acronym, and it
means Healing Using Natural Abilities.
First and foremost, Huna Kupua is a Hawaiian
Healing system. All of its principles, corollaries, levels of reality and
techniques are presented for this end. Over the centuries its roots in the
psychological, spiritual and energy movement fields have been incorporated into
modern scientific research, healing relationships and even enhancing
performance in sports. What was once considered a shaman view of the universe
has now expanded into simple and pragmatic methods for instant and rapid
healing as well as personal mastery.
Huna uses
Natural abilities. The Kupua system uses no drugs, surgery, or artificial means,
although it can incorporate these alternatives if that is desired. Within its 7
principles are natural abilities innate in all humans. These are the powers of
Awareness, Freedom, Focus, Presence, Love, Confidence, and Flexibility to
change. They may be augmented or modified to fit any situation. As you increase
any of these powers, a remarkable change occurs in your relationships with any
person, place or thing. With the aid of other natural entities such as herbs
and plants, more profound effects can be experienced. Still, the theory, proven
in thousands of cases, is that the powers of your mind can influence future
events and health. The Huna Kupua system, then, becomes a blueprint of a
natural way to help yourself and others.
With the powers of the mind comes a variety of healing realms, or levels. Your
natural
Abilities can be expanded from kinesthetic and massage therapy to psychic
intuition and distance healing, to symbolic and dream healing, to a holistic
merging with spirit. In each of these realms is an infinite number of
techniques and processes for positive change.
Remember then, in your attempts to tell others the definition of Huna, to let
them know that it is Healing Using Natural Abilities. They will thank you for
your short response, most likely share this acronym with others, and very
importantly, stay awake!
Blessings for a happy, healthy and prosperous life.
