Huna is a funny thing to study. It doesn't act like other Western studies, in that you have a beginning-middle-end. Nor it is Eastern, where guru's abound and are necessary to find your way.Huna seems to be there at every turn, much as the old Kahuna's would teach their students. “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” Students wouldn't be told what to study or how. There were no books, study guides, quizzes, final exams, and so on.The student, as life actually op...

Using self-suggestion is a simple process which may be divided into three steps: First, quite naturally, one must decide what is to be suggested to the low self by the middle self - to the subconscious by the conscious mind self. Second, one relaxes the body, stills the trains of thought that may be running through the mind, and, when the low self is in this way made ready to accept suggestion, the third step is taken. This third step is to give the suggestion to the low self either aloud ...

I believe that you need what most of us need at one time or another in our approach to Huna.

I will give you the exercises and the affirmat...

One of the highlights of this book is the review of the self-help scene during the mid-50s, including a mention of Dianetics, as well as General Semantics and other belief systems.

An appendix discusses the larger context of this in the Huna world.

An exploration of spiritual laws and practices believed to produce healing and transformation.
