Huna first came into my life early in 2005, though in reality, I have been practising for over 40 years now !!
As a child, we lived in the Hampshire countryside, way off the beaten track, among farmland with fields of wheat and barley, and of course, the great hop fields. I guess I was a solitary child, no friends living near, but I was happy to cycle through the lanes to watch the tractors and harvesters working the land. I was always amazed at the changing landscape caused by the different levels of crop growth, and believed I could ‘feel’ incredible energies coming from the land.
At night, with no street lighting nearby, the whole of the Universe was mine to see. I would ‘stargaze’ for hours at a time, wondering at the beauty of it all, and feeling more of the energies and connections.
A popular day out for us as children was a trip to nearby Salisbury plain and the ancient megalith of Stonehenge. Back in those days (the 60’s) you were allowed to walk between, around and over the stones. Not just touching them, but sitting on them too. We frequently visited en route to holidays in the West Country arriving early in the mornings (when the car park was free !!). Sitting virtually alone in the centre of the great circle, little after sunrise, I couldn’t help but imagine what may have taken place there in the past, and I always felt connected to some unseen power.
I largely ‘abandoned’ religion in my early teens. There seemed too many dogmatic rules, and not enough real answers. The differences between religions just made for more conflicts, and the concept of fighting a war because you didn’t agree with someone else’s viewpoint just seemed strange.
‘Orthodox’ medicine went the same way for me. I learned more about traditional methods like herbalism and healing, and later hypnotherapy, nlp and meditation. All I could see at the local GP’s surgery were increasing numbers of people taking ever increasing doses of medication, but oddly, nobody ever getting any better.
Nothing in the world seemed to agree with my beliefs, so I resigned myself to the fact that maybe I was just ‘weird’. Religion, science, medicine, politics and the media kept telling me different truths, the small voice inside constantly kept me believing in my own truth.
In 2004, at the age of 49, my wife, daughters and I moved to Norfolk. Again, I was confronted by working landscapes, and the same feelings of energy I had felt as a child. Farming had all but disappeared from my native Hampshire, and to rediscover these amazing landscapes again was a revelation. I began to take interest again in energies and healings, and with the help of the internet began researching so-called New-Age beliefs. I bought an I-pod and began downloading audio-books, lectures and podcasts. I was amazed at the array of materials available, and the more I consumed, the more ‘my philosophy’ seemed to make sense.
Sadly, this rebirth came too late for my wife. Late in 2004 she was diagnosed with cancer, and shortly after finishing a course of radio/chemotherapy, she passed away. She had also been fighting the cancer using visualisation, and although the tumour had gone, she was too weak to recover from the side effects of the treatment.
My life fell into a black hole at that point. Nothing made sense anymore, and week after week things just seemed to get bleaker. I wondered if it were worth carrying on at all…..
I turned to the podcasts for inspiration. I listened to extracts from the Bible, the Koran, Buddhism, psychology, Tony Robbins…. you name it, I listened to it. Whilst it was all very inspirational, I felt none of it was actually speaking to me !
Months later, with spring just underway, I decided it was time to ‘pull myself together’. I started taking a walk every day, listening to the podcasts as I went. I walked a little further every day, then one day I discovered my magical new ‘Stonehenge’. Tucked away down a quiet country lane, I found a ruined church. No roof, just side walls, arched doors, a tower and a great (glassless) window. Just a scattering of houses nearby, this was truly somewhere I could be alone. I nicknamed this place my ‘Thotful Spot’ (as in Winnie The Pooh). I would sit on the bench here, listening to the birds, feeling the ‘vibes’ and just being alone.
One day, whilst flicking through the podcasts, looking for something for the walk home, I discovered a podcast on Huna. Where had that come from? Did I download it? Did I upload it to my I-pod? What is Huna anyway? My interest piqued, I started to listen…… Energy healing, connection with the Universe, creating our own reality… this man has been reading my mind….. this is MY philosophy!!
I listened more…. It turned out to be an early podcast from Huna-trainer (then known as Jedi-trainer). “As you listen to this, you will get the feeling I’m telling you something you already know”……. Suddenly my life changed.
On my return home, the internet was scoured for more of the same. In the last three years, together with my daughter, we have consumed every podcast we can find, read many of Max Freedom Long and Serge Kings excellent books, and have recently completed Serge’s audio Teacher Training Course.
Applying the Huna principles to everything we do, life has taken on new meaning for us. We are both well on the way to establishing successful businesses, and are looking for opportunities to spread the word about ‘my philosophy’.
I believe we never stop learning, and would welcome the chance to study more. The ultimate dream is to visit and study in Hawaii. Finances are limited at the moment, so that is for the future, but it WILL happen.
I don’t believe any single teacher has all the answers, so we should learn from all (even white Scottish guys… lol), and believe what we know to be right. Like the parable of the pebbles, we need to gather everything and see what it turns into.
I thank you all for reading my ramblings, and wish you all well.
Love & light to you all.
Love, that you may love and be loved.
Light, that you may see the way.
