The Ten Elements Of Self
All Huna work begins with understanding the ten elements of self
and learning to "talk to self".
The Three Selves:
- High: Superconscious (Aumakua)
- Middle: Conscious (uhane)
- Low: Subconscious (unihipili)
The Three invisible Subtle Bodies(kino-aka) of each self:
- The High self is least dense, its center is above the crown chakra, and it is rooted in the heart chakra.
- The Middle self is more dense and is centered in the brow chakra.
- Low self is the most dense and its center lies within the solar plexus chakra.
The Three Voltages/ Levels of Life Energy/ Psychic Energy (mana/prana):
- Low self controls the supply and use of mana and converts it to a higher voltage (mana-mana) for use by Middle self. Low self uses mana to maintain the physical body.
- Middle self uses mana to think and feel.
- The two together must supply mana to High Self. High Self converts mana to mana-loa. It then becomes a potent healing, "miracle" making force.
(The Hawaiian word for "to pray" is wai-pa, which means "to divide the waters." This is the process of dividing mana among the 3 selves and sending a portion to High Self as an offering, a sacrifice, when making a request)
The tenth element is the physical body: the terrestrial residence of all three selves.
As we begin to experience and bring into balance our three interrelated selves, attending to each with it's own body, function, and voltage, we create a cohesive energy field in which the focus of intention has real effect. The harmonious interaction of the three is always the central focus.
