Huna Journey – an Ongoing Series – Part 1

These teachings originated many thousands of years ago before there was even a Hawaii. Mr. Max Freedom Long studied the ancient Hawaiian teachings for over 50 years and gave the teachings the name, “Huna.” Max Freedom Long, who taught school in Hawaii in the 1920s, brought these concepts to the western world where he continued to study the Hawaiian teachings until his death in 1971.

Of course, many others studied and advanced the teachings of M. Long. Several students went to Hawaii and studied under the Hawaiian “Ka Hunas” and learned firsthand some of the methods involved in these ancient rites and secrets handed down for thousands of years. Some of these students became Masters and furthered the knowledge and understanding of Mr. Long.

Mr. Long wrote and I quote, “Huna is not crystallized and set and dead. It is a living, practical system which holds fast to the proven while reaching out eagerly to inspect anything new and promising.” It is not necessary to use the ancient words of the Hawaiian language the practice of this discipline. Huna is not, nor is it based on any esoteric practice or a discipline, as these concepts are universal, therefore not limited by language.

The ancient Hawaiians valued their words and prayers as the connection to their sacred gods. They used the breath, a loving spirit of everything, their family ties and the elements of nature to create mana, the vital life force. They taught that balance in everything was very important. This practice is not about going back in time and trying to recreate a past that is forever gone. We are striving to adapt these teachings into a way of life in our modern world.

Huna can be practiced by anyone who will take the time to read, meditate and practice these simple teachings. Although it is thousands of years old, it can be practiced in our modern times. Huna is not a religion and will fit in with any belief or non-belief system.

In the spirit of helping the western world understand and practice this ancient art of Huna, I have created the Website of Modern Huna for the understanding of Huna by the western world without having to learn to read or speak the Hawaiian language.
