Below are the seven principles (paraphrased) of HUNA as presented By Serge Kahili King in the book The Urban Shaman I personally believe these 7 principles offer a gentle guidance for walking your talk and connecting with your spirit self. THE 7 PRINCIPLES 1 IKE (eeKay)-- THE WORLD IS WHAT YOU THINK IT IS: (clear) AWARENESS If you change your thinking, you can change your world . A.COROLLARY -- EVERYTHING IS A DREAM Dreams are as real as reality. If this life is a dream, and if we can wake up fully within it, then we can change the dream by changing our dreaming. B.COROLLARY -- ALL SYSTEMS ARE ARBITRARY The absolute truth is whatever you decide it is. Take what you like and leave the rest. 2 KALA -- THERE ARE NO LIMITS: (red or pink) FREEDOM You can create anything you can conceive . A.COROLLARY -- EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED. B.COROLLARY -- ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.< C.COROLLARY -- SEPARATION IS A USEFUL ILLUSION. 3 MAKIA (maKEYah) ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ATTENTION GOES: (orange) FOCUS Directed attention is where your personal energy goes. A.COROLLARY -- ATTENTION GOES WHERE ENERGY FLOWS Attention is attracted to any strong source of energy that stimulates any of our senses. B.COROLLARY -- EVERYTHING IS ENERGY 4 MANAWA (MaNaVa)-- NOW IS THE MOMENT OF POWER :(yellow) PERSISTENCE We always have only now! All memories are now experiences. As you change your mind, you change your experience. Your present it NOT the result of your past. A.COROLLARY -- EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE> B.COROLLARY -- POWER INCREASES WITH SENSORY ATTENTIION 5 ALOHA -- TO LOVE IS TO BE HAPPY WITH :(green) LOVE A.COROLLARY -- LOVE INCREASES AS JUDGMENT DECREASESS Fear, doubt, anger give rise to negative criticism and judgment, which causes separation and diminishes love. Criticism kills relationships; praise builds and rebuilds them. B.COROLLARY -- EVERYTHING IS ALIVE, RESPONSIVE, AWAARE Whenever criticized, praise yourself aloud and the criticism will have no Affect on you as long as you don't fear it. 6 MANA -- ALL POWER COMES FROM WITHIN: (blue) CONFIDENCE No one can have power over you unless you let them. Freedom is in one's own head. No one else makes you unhappy. A.COROLLARY -- EVERYTHING HAS POWER Everyone has the same power B.COROLLARY -- POWER COMES FROM AUTHORITY Speaking with authority means speaking with confidence that your words will produce results. 7 PONO -- EFFECTIVENESS IS THE MEASURE OF TRUTH: (purple) FLEXIBILITY There are no absolute truths. Only an effective truth at an individual level of consciousness is important. The means produces the ends. What's really important is what works. A.COROLLARY -- THERE IS ALWAYS ANOTHER WAY TO DO ANYTHING I HIGHLY recommend you purchase this book, The Urban Shaman, as I can honestly say it is the one book that has MOST changed my life.
