The Seven Principles of Huna Philosophy
(plus an experiential exercise)

Huna is a philosophy of life that is the root of all ancient cultures and spiritual paths.
Free of dogma, it is simply the secret science behind miracles, or hidden
knowledge, deep within our souls, of who we are and how our lives can really work.
Within the Huna philosophy, there are seven spiritual principles of life which explains
how the world works. These principles, which are universal and all-encompassing, go
beyond our perception of reality, with a meaning much deeper than meets the eye.

The vowels are pronounced as in the Spanish language (a as in father, e as in prey, i as
in pita, o as in mote, u as in duty).

     IKE - The World Is What You Think It Is
     KALA - There Are No Limits
     MAKIA - Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
     MANAWA - Now Is The Moment Of Power
     ALOHA - To Love And Be Happy With
     MANA - All Power Comes From Within
     PONO - Effectiveness Is The Measure of Truth

The center word, manawa, is the place to begin with this exercise. Be fully present in
the “now”, to the best of your ability, all the other principles will flow from this point. Be
here now. To have your full power available you must remain present to each moment.
It is at this place of “now” that decisions are made, solutions appear, the next step is
shown. Notice where you are now. What do you feel, see, hear, smell, taste? How are
you breathing? What is your posture? What thoughts are present? Take a few deep
breaths. Align your spine. Notice everything around you. Notice the colors. Now, what is
one thing you can do to make this moment more pleasurable? Right now, what can you
do to give yourself even a smidgen more pleasure. Maybe it is to straighten a picture on
the wall, or put on your favorite kind of music, or adjust the room temperature, or think of
someone you love, or any of millions of things you can choose from. Just do one thing to
make “NOW” more tangible. Do it so you can bring your “now” into a more peasant
“now”.

Aloha is the experience of the “now” as a pleasant place. As you begin to experience
love and happiness in your “now”, your energy will build. Notice all that is good in your
“now”, which creates more feelings of love and happiness. Feel full of love and
happiness and experience your thoughts as energy flowing to what your attention is on.
Now you are experiencing makia.

As the energy of Mana, you are full of energy, power, ask yourself, “What is important to
me? The answer to this question is what guides you into kala.   See yourself being,
doing, having, or experiencing whatever it is that you most desire. Really, take 30
seconds to a minute to experience the feelings that come up when you get what is most
important to you. See everything about it. Imagine sounds, smells, taste, touch, and
feelings. Can you feel it? Does it seem real to you, as if it is already true? When you
can master this, then, you can see there are no limits.

Let go of this exercise and go back to experiencing your day. Live each moment from
Ike. The “now” that is new, bright, happy, and enlivened. You will be experiencing what
you believe the world to be now and what you will begin to see in the next “now” is more
of what you have focused on in this exercise. In no time you will begin to experience
Pono. You will begin to see positive results and a more vibrant alive self.
