One of the meanings of the word HUNA, in what is considered to be the most definitive Hawai'ian Dictionary (Pukui-Elbert 1986), is SECRET.  HUNA as a practice has been described as an ancient psycho-spiritual system/tradition and is also often classified as Shamanic.  HUNA And Kahuna teachings are not easily defined and can never be confined into any one definition.

The Hawai’ian language is complex and multi–layered. One word can have a multitude of meanings. This is quite important in exploring these traditions because one word may expand to conceal and/or reveal volumes of meaning. The Hawai’ian Language is deeply layered with meanings, the full and complete understanding of the principles could take a lifetime of exploration.

The foundational information that forms HUNA was practiced for generations in secret  - due to legal restrictions - and known by only a few Hawai'ian Kahuna and it was not taught openly for several hundred years.  Yet, there has been a legend hidden in the teachings of the Kahuna that there would be a time when the original teachings would become known once again. 

In Hawai'i, the teaching of HUNA was originally and is still called Ho'omana (to make "Mana", or life force energy). One of the meanings of the Hawai’ian word H'oo means “to make”.  One of the meanings of the Hawai’ian work word "Mana" means life force energy.

HUNA is an ancient Hawai’ian system of knowledge and power which is traced by “legend” back to Lemuria or as it’s known in ancient Hawai’ian traditions – Mu.

These teachings have awaited a time when the people of the earth would be ready to understand them once again.  A time when the consciousness of humans had raised to be ready to receive the teachings.  That time is NOW!  Reputedly, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi said, "As the consciousness of the world is raised, the old teachings will once again be revived as the consciousness comes up to the level where the people can understand them again."

HUNA as taught by Spirits of NativeLIGHT and Spirit Journey Academy, under the guidance of Hawaiian Kapuna (elders) and Kahuna (experts), encompasses the underlying concepts of Hawaiian Spiritualism which can be traced back to the Ancient Ones and further to the dawning of humans on this Earth.  Additionally, the HUNA workshops clarify and expand the scope of the practices of the ancient Hawaiians, so that we can clear our vision to tap the power of the infinite and understand with deeper vision.

Ku Kahuna Lokahi said to me "I say to Native Hawai'ians and others that not all Kahuna are in the Islands.  There are many who have great knowledge elsewhere in the world.  You are among those."

What is HUNA?

The word HUNA has only been used as the name of this spiritual framework in modern times.  The word was chosen by Max Freedom Long who went to Hawai’i as a school teacher during the 1920s. He initially became interested in the ancient wisdom and teachings from bits of information he heard from students and their families in the natural course of life. 

He learned further information about the teachings of HUNA from William Tufts Brigham who had spent forty years living in Hawai'i, trying to understand the secrets of the HUNA teachings. Brigham had been able to obtain much information but never able to get to the core of the teachings because of the “secret” nature of the work which was partially due to the laws which made the practice illegal and partially due to the natural inclination of the Native Hawai'ians to hold the truths and wisdom close to themselves and not share with those from the Western world.

Long had heard of Brigham's interest in HUNA and instigated a meeting with him.  After that meeting, Long became so passionate about learning the information that it could be considered an obsession.   Long studied Brigham's work and upon Brigham’s death, he inherited all the previously gathered information.  He too came across great obstacles in his search. The HUNA teachings had been passed on by word of mouth and the few Kahuna left in Hawai’i would not speak with him.

In 1935, after returning to the mainland, Long gained insight when he began to make fresh translations of the Hawai’ian chants and prayers based on the most basic root words. The new translation was the key that unlocked the secret of how the Kahuna performed their seemingly magical feats. Long spent the next forty years studying and working with the HUNA teachings, until his death in 1971. The work then passed to others who are still active in Huna Research Associates.

One purpose of the original teaching was to increase life force energy and to give every single human the power in HIS or HER OWN HANDS.  This provides the ultimate means for every human to create what they  want in their life.

Why did the ancient people of the Earth not need coaches, experts, gurus, consultants or psychotherapists? Why was mental dis-ease virtually unknown in Hawai'i prior to 1820? Why is the land of Hawai'i even today one of the most blessed spots on Earth? What is present in Hawai'i tradition that is missing in other places?

HUNA is the healing and spiritual shamanism of ancient Hawai'i. If you're interested in spiritual growth and personal development, or expansion of your awareness and your connection to universal spirit, then you'll find that HUNA is one of the best practical tools for you to use when working toward transformation on your Spiritual Journey.

HUNA is the original art and science of healing and spiritual development of the peoples of the earth. It isn't for everyone; however if you have asked yourself any of the following questions, then HUNA will assist you to learn the answers to them.

• "Who am I?"

• "What is my spiritual nature?"

• "What is the nature of the world in which we live?"

• "How were people in ancient times connected to nature?"

• "How can I connect with the elemental forces of nature and live in harmony with my environment?"

• "Why do things happen the way they do?"

HUNA provides methods to make connections with the sources of Mana both inside and outside yourself. The scope of HUNA is quite broad and provides a system of wisdom which will enable you to transform your life and become who you were truly meant to be.

With us since Ancient times, HUNA is an established living  system of knowledge and power.  This modern incarnation of HUNA  is being taught in terms of the needs of our western urbanized culture while retaining the methods and purpose of the Hawai’ian Ancestors  and Kahuna who kept the Ancient Knowledge alive.  HUNA’s promise, its purpose, is to offer all of us a path through which we may reclaim our natural and rightful inheritance of  Divine Power. It is our right — we are ALL children of the Divine.

The following workshops are designed and developed so that all participants can immediately begin using HUNA concepts to live a life of ALOHA, Bliss, Joy, Harmony in the LOVE and LIGHT of the Divine Source as we were all meant to do.

HUNA Training and Certification

HUNA as taught by Spirits of NativeLIGHT and Spirit Journey Academy is based upon many years of study with Native Hawai'ians as well as the work of Max Freedom Long, Serge Kahili King and Tad James among others.  My work has been blessed by several Native Hawai'ian Kahuna and Kapuna and as more of the Ancient Wisdom is brought forth it continues to transition.  I believe that I have been blessed and gifted with much information and that my task is to share ALL that information with ALL who are called in a loving compassionate way with prices which  make the information universally available to ALL.
