1 lhs Rsality of the Invisible

One of the more important concepts in Huna is that

of aka, Dictionary definitions for this word include
"shadow;reflection,likeness, image; essence as opposed
to substance; clarity, brightness; embryo; and trans-
parent" The closest concepts in English would be the
ether, etheric or a9tral matter, and the aura The jdea of
the ether connotes m invisible sort of "prernatter"
which connects and penetrates everything in the
physical universe and which serves as the medium for
energy effects.This concept has gone in and out of pop*
b i t y m n g scientists, and the idea of an a m and
etheric or astral bodies is definitely outside the belief
systems of most of the scientific community.
Until quite recently, the existence of aka was de-
pendent on the witness of clairvoyantsand psychics who
claimed to be able to see or feel the aka body surround-
ing the physical one when the conditions were right
Some said that they could also see or feel the aka around
inanimate objects and plants, and a few even professed

Your Supsrconxious Self

The superconscious or High S e K of Huna is called

wmuk in Hawaiian. In the dictionary it is defined as
"a personal god" and as a figurative expression for "a
trustworthy person," As used in Hun* it is "God within
you" Since the code language of Hawaiian is the key to
all our understanding of Huna, we can do no better
than to start by exploring the hidden meanings of

the Runa definition,

Au, the first syllable, has "seIf " as one of its meanings,
and n u z h means "parent" (either father or mother). A
simple translation, then. is "parent-self." Some of the
early missionariesto Hawaii thought this was a reference
to ancestor worship, but to the kahunas it would be
more accurately described as "sourceself," for they were
well aware that our origin is in spirit and that our

Meditation is one of the oldest known ways for human

beings to alter conditions of mind, body, and cir-
cumstance and to explore realms of experience beyond
the self. It is used in all religions wad esoteric organiza-
tions the world over. The word basically means "to think
about," but in practice it is a little more complicated
than that In Yoga the process is broken down into three
stages. Fiwt there is concentration,or the directing of the
attention ko the object Then there is meditation
proper, the continuous appIication of the attention to
the object Most people who engage in meditation stop
here. The n e e mare advanced stage called caw
templation, is identification with the object
A good deal of confusion exists today about medita-
tion because there are twu widely varying schooIs of
thought on the subject, as well as variations in the
definition of terms Disciplines such as Zen and Yoga
put the emphasis on what might be cdled "passive"

Much of what passes for meditation is nothing more

tban good old relaxation This is h e of any secalled
meditation system that teaches you no more than the fixa-
tion of attention on an image, a sound, a feeling or an
object, without eventually taking you beyand that
simple fi~ationof attention True meditation involves an
increase in awareness, skill, knowledge, or experience.
Relaxation is healthy; it is calming. It is an excellent
p d t r d s to meditation, but it is not meditation itself.
W h e n convenient it is a good idea to do a relaxation
exercise before meditation because it helps to eliminate
distracting tension, calms your emotions, and clears
your mind Fixing your attention on anything will
tend to produce a relaxing effect, but here I will recom-
mend a breathing technique. Just take four slow, deep
breaths to oxygenate your blood and increase your alert-
ness, and then keep your attention on the natural
flow of your breathing until you feel comfortably reIaxed.
If you have another method you like her, use it.

This is a basic development exercise which provides a

foundation for many other techniques and which itself
helps to increase your sense of confidence and balance.
