Notes from Katherine Veilleux’s presentation
to the January, 2008 meeting of the CCCASD.
A Lo Ha — Aloha, the Hawaiian traditional greeting, means “Joyfully sharing the life energy in the moment.” Katherine has studied with Serge Kahili King of Hawaii, for 8 years. (She is a certified Dynamind practitioner, a modality created by King). She has a counseling/healing practice, but doesn’t do, herself, the healing. She teaches you the skills to do it for yourself.
What you say, what you express, creates your reality.
“I vibrate health & wholeness.”
“Reality is completely flexible.”
We are creating the memories of our past. If we don’t like the stories we’re creating now, leave it behind or just change it.
La Akea - Love Light. The color Green.
Imagine green around everyone, particularly if you are in a stressful situation.
Keep it up, and watch the tension smooth out and relaxed well-being take its
place. Useful in workplaces, or homes with teenagers (LOL).
Piko Piko
This is a breathing pattern for the energy centers as traditionally seen in
the Huna (as opposed to the chakra system used in the Eastern traditions).
Breath into the Crown
then the Right Shoulder
then the Left Shoulder
Breath into the Navel
Then into the Right Hip
then into the Left Hip
the Right Palm,
and the Left Palm
The right Sole of Foot,
and the Left Sole
then into the Belly Button
Huna (Hu Na) means the Knowledge of that which is Hidden
Hu = male / yang / chaotic
Na = female / yin / Still
The focus of Huna is to balance the two.
One of the tools of the kahuna is the energy rod. A piece of wood 5" long. Or 10", or 20". Has to be multiples of five. (More of this basic huna information can be found in King’s book, The Urban Shaman.)
Katherine was asked about the Ho’oponopono technique (based on ancient Hawaiian teachings) being promoted by Joe Vitale in his book, Zero Limits. Useful in many ways to any spiritual seeker, but especially in conflict resolution. Serge has a video on Ho’oponopono, his website is www.huna.org.
Serge was adopted by a Kahuna. He studied with shamans worldwide, and as
well followed more traditional pursuits, getting his Ph.D. in Psychology.
The Seven Huna Principles
1 IKE The world is what you think it is.
Pairing how we feel with how we think; i.e., “How do I walk when I have
$1M in the bank?”
2 KALA There are no limits
We’re all connected! Every thing is alive and aware. Grokking (from
the book Stranger In A Strange Land) means to drop the illusion of separation;
instead of asking the clouds, please don’t rain today, become the cloud
and move away*
3 MAKIA Energy flows where attention goes
What am I focusing on? Don’t deny problems; focus on them, then shift
the attention/energy to a positive. The pain (or whatever it is) is just the
signal to get your attention. Focus on what you want your reality to be. #
4 MANAWA Now is the moment of Power
We are always in the present moment. And in the present moment, all is well.
Make that your reality!
5 ALOHA To love is to be happy with
What I am happy with brings me love.
The Ku is our memory body. It hears everything we say and takes it personally.
6 MANA All power comes from within
We all have the power of the divine within.
7 PONO Effectiveness is the measure of truth
If it works, do it!
* The shamans will work with the tidal waves and hurricanes by influencing
them by becoming one with them. Can use this to heal someone as well; go into
their body, there you see the problem. In healing yourself you heal them,
and vice versa.
# When you find Fear and Resistance within you, don’t fear and resist
it! Accept it, then focus on loving and accepting yourself.
TRUTH IS RELATIVE
We can do anything that we want, as long as we can figure out a way to do
it.
Once you set your mind, don’t waver! Have confidence~ The universe will
conspire to support you and your idea.
She showed us her three carved wooden pieces, looking rather like little
gods or totems.
They represented the Ku, the Lono, and the Kane:
KU: the Unconscious memory body
It incorporates memories of what brings us pleasure and pain and stores them.
Then creates patterns to keep track. It’s the physical and intuitive
senses, the bodymind. Grounded and connected to Earth. Ku’s headdress
reaches down toward the ground.
LONO: Conscious mind, creative aspect. Lono’s headdress reaches up to the heavens.
KANE: Spirit
KANALOA: What we aspire toward; a fully actualized person.
Talk to your Ku to change your reality. You must convince it that you will benefit by making the changes you wish to make. For instance, if you’re affirming to yourself, “I want to have an income of $5K / month,” your Ku’s response might be, There’s no pattern for that (remember, the Ku thinks that way, in terms of the past, and patterns). So then you must tell yourself, “We’ll create a pattern.” Make it more pleasurable for the Ku, and it will accept it.
An important symbol of the Huna is the Eye of Kanaloa—four concentric circles, with other lines emanating from the center, dividing it into 8 even parts.
Four levels of Reality in the Huna tradition:
1. Physical level
2. Intuition, psychic sense, imagination — subjective
3. State of dreams – waking or sleeping
4. Oneness – grokking
Shamans say it is all a dream—reality, that is.
{Reminded me of the Aiel people in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. When one of them dies, they say, “He has awakened from the Dream.”}
We move through these four levels frequently throughout our day. If we’re trying to do something and it doesn’t work on the physical level, try it on the next one.
Serge Kahili King has come up with something called Dynamind (reminiscent
of EFT).
State your reality, for example: Not, “I have asthma,” but rather
“In this moment I am experiencing trouble breathing. I know that can
change, and I will soon breathe freely.” Then hold your fingertips together
in a sphere shape in front of the navel (energy center according to Huna tradition).
Breathe energy into your crown chakra with the inhalation, and breathe out
through the soles of the feet. Then, with two fingers, tap the thymus (the
highest part of the sternum) seven times; then on the middle of the web between
thumb and forefinger, tap seven times with two fingers; the same on the other
hand; and the 7th cervical (the bumpy vertebra on the bottom of your neck
on the backside) seven times. Hold the fingers in the position again and repeat
the breathing. This technique has been known to causes shifts and releasing
of stuck energy, etc.
Pain comes off in layers (as with all our issues) so you will need to repeat with varying frequency on chronic issues. Another idea: Assign a shape, color and weight to the pain: “it feels like a blue triangle weighing five pounds.” Ask, “is there an emotion connected with this ache? What is it?” And then proceed.
