Huna Kupua

Huna is a Hawaiian word meaning "secret," but it also refers to the esoteric wisdom of Polynesia. Kupua is another Hawaiian word and it refers to a specialized healer who works with the powers of the mind and the forces of nature. In that respect it is very similar to the Siberian Tungusic word "shaman."

The understanding of Huna described here comes from the kupua tradition of the Kahili family from the island of Kauai, through Serge Kahili King, who was adopted as the grandson of Joseph Kahili and trained in his tradition .The Seven Principles
The basic assumptions of Huna are these:

  • The World Is What You Think It Is
  • There are no limits
  • Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
  • Now Is The Moment Of Power
  • To Love Is To Be Happy With (someone or something)
  • All Power Comes From Within
  • Effectiveness Is The Measure Of Truth

The Four Selves
Another set of assumptions used in Huna is that human behavior and experience can be explained and changed through the interaction of three (sometimes four) selves, aspects or functions:

  • The High Self (Kane, Aumakua), inspires
  • The Conscious Self (Lono) imagines
  • The Subconscious Self (Ku) remembers
  • The Core Self (Kanaloa) wills

The Four Levels of Reality
A third set of assumptions coming from the kupua tradition divides all experience into four levels or frameworks of beliefs about reality which can be summarized as follows:

  • Everything is objective (Scientific reality)
  • Everything is subjective (Psychic reality)
  • Everything is symbolic (Shamanic reality)
  • Everything is holistic (Mystical reality)
