THE BODY WISE WORKSHOP!

Empowerment Inc. | Monday, June 08, 2009 |

Hey Laurie,
I hope your workshops are going well. I have a question for you in regard to your add you placed on the blog here. I'm a little concerned of your reference here to Huna Healing. I noticed it some time ago when you first ran the blog and wasn't going to say anything.

I have just come back from more training with my Kupuna in Hawaii and a great movement he is creating now throughout all the islands and eventually the mainland is to raise the integrity of the teachings of all aspects of Hawaiian Lore, which there are many. From Lomi massage to La'au Lapa'au (the healing through use of the medicinal plants) to the spirituallity of Ho'oponopono (making right with others) and of the use of Huna. They are going to people who are using the terms and references to these teachings without any true training of the principles that are the real power behind the teachings. They are having them take down their signs and remove the references from their marketing. There are moves also to change the laws and have legal powers to enforce the integrity of this practice.

From our conversation when we met some months ago I didn't think that you had done any Huna training. We discussed some similarities in what we do in the consciousness domain but not shared Huna knowlege. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The true meaning of Huna is " the ability to use the Mana, the energy of God the Universe, for the good of all and not just the good of one." This ability is to invoke God to work through the practioner on an intimately integrous level that is rarely ever experienced in our western world of healers.

The lesser part of the meaning is "the Secret" and the Kahuna is the "the keeper of the Secrets." This aspect came about at the time of western mans colonization of the Hawaiian Islands. For tousands of years prior to the westerners, Huna knowlege was common and greatly respected by ALL of the Hawaiian people. Miracles were regularly performed as a natural consequence of therespect and reverence for Huna. It was taught by living with the Kahuna for as long as it took to learn experientially, which could be at least 20 years and you were only given permission to practice it by the Kahuna himself. It became secret because the westerners would take aspects of the practice and claim it as their own for their own glory and rewards. The miracle healings from the use of the power of gods partnership was lost and reduced to the physical healings of western mans attempt to immitate the original integrity.

Because of this continuing to happen over the last 2,000 years, the practice has become more secret and was not taught openly. The western influence has turned the young of Hawaii away from their culture and the extent of the teachings have been declining. The Kahuna I am training with is probably the last to have a broad extent of the knowlege because he was trained by 18 different Kahuna in the practices from his family. This is extremly rare today and when he is gone that extent of knowlege may be lost for all of us. He is also one of the first three Kahuna to start training non-Hawaiians because he knows this may be lost to the world. He is extremely selective as to what he teaches and to whom so as to maintain the highest integrity to continue.

So I hope you understand what my intention is here. I know you are a good Soul wanting to do good for others. Unfortunately our western indoctrinations don't always teach us the integrity and reverence for what we do.

Huna is what it is and Physic K is what it is but they are not the same. I would not refer my work to yours because we had had our conversation of similarities.

If you would like to learn more there is a Gathering of Kahunas in Hawaii in October that you would be more than welcome to come with us.

I have realised that for me to not say anything is irreverant and disrespectful to the Kahuna, the teachings, myself and you. Our inactions are just as powerful as our actions and taking responsibility for them liberates us from a continuation.

I humbly request that God the Universe bless you with abundance and prosperity from intuitive guidance for the highest good of all.

with appreciation
