Huna is a Hawaiian word taken from the ancient kahuna, which is translated as priest, shaman, minister, sorcerer and in general an expert in any profession SIPP Property The term was adopted by Max Freedom Long, an American teacher and founder of the metaphysical theory of his, which he named as New Thought movement.

Freedom Long visited Hawaii in 1917 to work as a teacher. There he was introduced to the religious beliefs of the kahunas. Long desired to understand at the fullest the practices of this religion, but he left Hawaii in 1931 without getting there. Three years later one day he woke up with a revelation. He thought that the secrets of the religion were hidden within the Hawaiian language. From the Hawaiian word for secret, ‘’Huna’’ he named after the new religion he has thought of.

This new religion of his was very similar of course with the one of the Hawaiian kahunas. Based on their 3 levels of our selves or our consciousness, he claimed that a low, middle and high level of selves existed. These are the subconscious, emotional, intuitive, the rational self of us, the conscious and logical, and the super conscious that is supposed to be connected with the divine element that people may have inside and is waiting for everyone to discover it on his own and unleash it to approach divinity UK investment property sales

Based on this stuff, Long expands the belief with his theory that changes a bit the Hawaiian concept of manna, which Hawaiians take as a divine power, and transforms it into a vitalizing life force which can be used ultimately to heal body and mind and achieve fulfillment, when the 3 selves are trained and understood properly.

The 7 principles of Huna are:

1. IKE (ee-kay) – The world is what you think it is.
2. KALA – There are no limits.
3. MAKIA (mah-kee-ah) – Energy flows where attention goes.
4. MANAWA (man-ah-wah) – Now is the moment of power.
5. ALOHA – To love is to be happy with (someone or something).
6. MANA – All power comes from within.
7. PONO – Effectiveness is the measure of truth.
