Philosophy - The Seven Principles Of Hawaiian Huna

IKE  - our ideas create our reality. The world is what you think it is. It’s a way of saying that this reality of our experience comes from inside, comes from our thoughts, our ideas, our beliefs, our fears, our desires, our angers and our pleasures. That all of the ways that we think produces this experience of ours.


KALA - there are no limits. There are no limits in this universe except those created in our own mind. These self imposed limits are due to conditioning from society and our upbringing. The only thing stopping us from reaching our full potential, our goals and dreams is our mind.


MAKIA - energy flows where attention goes. Wherever there is a flow of energy and attention, events are created.


MANAWA - now is the moment of power. There is no power in the past and there is no power in the future. “Now” is your moment of power. You walk forward in life from moment to moment with ideas about yourself. It is those ideas, in every given moment, that you create your reality.


ALOHA - to love is to be happy with. The real interpretation of this word is love. Love is happiness. Unhappiness springs from doubt, fear, anger etc – the base instincts. If these are eliminated from your mind, Love becomes deeper and stronger.


MANA - all power comes from within. The concept of Mana is that there is once source of all power, and that source flows through each one of us. Not only us as human beings, but through the earth itself, through every stone, through every tree, through every cloud. The power to create flows through you. This flow of energy is molded by what you believe and manifest in your life as your creations.


PONO - effectiveness is the measure of truth. There is no one truth, there is no one method, one technique, one kind of medicine, one way to heal, one way to be happy, only one person with whom you can be happy. There are many, many ways to achieve your goals, to be happy, to enjoy life, to fulfill it. This is Pono. There is always another way to do anything.
