Personal Review: Kahuna Healing (Quest Books) by Serge King
Stay positive about life, and treat yourself to this fascinating introduction to
Huna!Serge Kahili King writes with a practitioner's interest in the psychic,
an anthropologist's approach to culture, and a linguist's delight in the
Hawaiian language. The result is a historical and philosophical overview of
Huna shamanism which is remarkably clear and concise.There are four
basic principles of Huna:1. "You create your own reality (Ike)." 2. "You get
what you concentrate on (Makia)."3. "You are unlimited (Kala)." 4. "Your
moment of power is now (Manawa)." (p. 37)Huna has much in common
with visualization and affirmations. However, Huna is not exactly like either
of these techniques. Huna shamanism has some rather sophisticated
philosophical underpinnings which have subtle but important implications.
For one thing, time is conceived a bit differently. The present is defined as
the span of time which can be influenced by your current actions. Another

important aspect of Huna is the idea that your beliefs don't just mirror the
environment that surrounds you, your beliefs actually create your
environment. Working with these beliefs is the essence of all healing
practices. Other challenging concepts include the Huna viewpoints on the
self, karma, the conscious, the subconscious, the emotions and the
intellect.Positive thinking is the basis of Huna. One of my friends who has
been studying Huna for several years reports that the Huna philosophical
concepts are very helpful for figuring out why some positive thinking
techniques work and others don't. Traditional Hawaiian psychic
techniques, healing techniques, and bodywork are described with brief
summaries, rather than by using case studies or practical exercises.I can't
judge the historical or anthropological authenticity of this material.
However, the author claims to have spent considerable time with traditional
people in West Africa, and his way of expressing philosophical concepts
shows an indigenous influence of some sort in his thinking. It's a
fascinating world view which is quite unlike the one I grew up with in the
suburbs!Highly recommended for those with an interest in healing, the
psychic, Eastern or Western philosophy, psychology, history or
anthropology.
