The Ho'omana Energy Attunement is drawn from Huna, the ancient Hawaiian spiritual tradition that was known in older times as Ho'omana and that legend traces back to Mu, the continent said to have stretched across the Pacific and left only its mountain peaks as Hawaii, Tahiti, Polynesia and New Zealand.
The manual, compiled in 2003, presents Huna as a way of life rather than a religion, one you can practice while keeping whatever faith you already hold. Its foundation is the awakening and integration of three selves: Ku the subconscious, Lono the conscious and Kane the higher self, and the attunement work is organised into the three Orders that carry those names.
It also teaches the seven basic principles as skills to develop rather than talents you either have or lack, among them Ike, seeing, everything is a dream we dream; Kala, clearing, everything is connected; Makia, focusing, energy flows where attention goes; Manawa, presence, now is the moment of power; and Aloha, blessing, everything is alive, aware and responsive.
The manual credits the researcher Max Freedom Long, who in the 1900s found that the root words of the Hawaiian language carried the coded teachings of the Kahuna, the priests of the tradition. Huna, in this telling, refuses to transcend the physical and instead teaches you to merge matter and spirit and celebrate being alive.
What this attunement is intended to support:
- Bringing the subconscious, conscious and higher selves into working agreement rather than conflict.
- Developing the seven Huna skills of seeing, clearing, focusing, presence, blessing, confidence and flexibility.
- Grounding spiritual practice in the body, the earth and the emotions instead of above them.
- Learning the Hawaiian terms and their layered meanings so the practice is spoken as well as felt.
- Working with breath through the Ha exercise as a daily connection to life force.
- Opening the heart's three qualities named in the manual: giving love, receiving love and courage.
What you receive:
- The complete twenty-page Ho'omana Energy Attunement manual covering the philosophy, terminology and language samples.
- The attunements themselves, organised as the Order of Lono, the Order of Ku, the Order of Kane and Ho'omana.
- The seven basic principles with their pronunciations, summaries and explanations, plus a recommended reading list.
Who this is for:
- People drawn to Polynesian and Hawaiian spirituality who want a structured way in.
- Practitioners of other traditions looking for a system that sits alongside their existing path.
- Anyone who wants a practice that honours the body and daily life as much as the spirit.
How it is used:
Each Order is worked in turn, with a meditation, an exercise and then its attunement. In the Order of Kane you meditate on what you intend to do with these energies and picture yourself giving both attunements and energy work to others, then explore the Kane quality of creativity by recalling something genuinely beautiful and feeling it through your whole being.
The Ku energies are called simply by thinking or saying "Order of Ku" whenever you want love energy or a blessing in matters of the heart. The Ha breath is a daily standing exercise: feet wider than shoulders, palms turned outward, knees soft, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth on a natural "ha" sound, done in four groups of four, since four is sacred to the word.
