Manifesting our desires into this level of existence sometimes seems a magical process about which we can only hope and wish. According to Huna teachings that is not the case. Huna teaches that the process of manifestation is a specific process which can be easily learned.

Since I learned of it, I’ve been using the Huna technique of breath energized manifesting to create funds for various specific objectives, a workshop I wanted to attend, several short trips and a longer trip I’m preparing for, as well as maintaining an emergency savings account. The money showed up in each case. For the workshop I received what I needed from an unexpected source, just in time, a day or two before the workshop. Other times the money arrived well beforehand, again unexpectedly, not a part of our regular budgeting. Exciting stuff!

So, let me share with you my version of the Huna method of breath energized manifesting. 

First, a quick recap. In the last few posts of Know Thyself we learned that the subconscious mind is in charge of the body and the emotions. It also responsible for gathering and storing energy to give to the conscious and the superconscious minds.

The conscious mind is in charge of the mental aspects of things, the will.

The superconscious mind is in charge of manifesting. It is Divine Will and so functions at a level that is beyond understanding, but for this discussion we will focus upon its role as manifestor.

 The process of manifesting according to Huna teachings is this:

1. The conscious mind determines specifically what it wants to manifest. Consciously taking the time to envision what is wanted and get the emotions and thus the subconscious involved.
2. Once the focus is clearly determined and visualized, the conscious mind directs the subconscious to gather surplus energy. The conscious mind can aid in that through consciously directed deep breathing. 
3. The conscious mind thanks the subconscious for giving the gathered energy to the superconscious for the purposes of manifesting this intention.
4. The conscious mind directs a prayer through the subconscious mind to the superconscious with the specific intention and visualizations. As the conscious mind conceptualizes and the subconscious ‘feels’ the intention to the superconscious, the subconscious allows the surplus energy to flow to the superconscious, supporting the physical manifestation of the intention.

It is important to note that only the subconscious can gather and give energy. The subconscious is positively engaged when positive emotion is experienced. The superconscious needs the energy gathered and given by the subconscious to build our design in this reality. As the conscious mind envisions the thought forms of the desired intention imbuing them with all the detail possible, the subconscious has an emotional response. It may be excitement, or joy, or contentment or some other positive emotion. If, as you envision your intention you experience any twinge of fear or negativity or disbelief, this must be cleared or the necessary energy will not be sent to the superconscious. The subconscious will dig in its heels, so to speak, and refuse to budge. The flow and manifestation of your intention will be blocked.

There are many excellent tools and healers available for reprogramming the subconscious mind. The tool I use most often with my clients is FasterEFT-V, which you can find out more about on our Resources page. 

All three selves must be in accord, all three pulling in the same direction for prayer to be manifested.

The manifestation process is not a mysterious unknown in Huna. It is consciously directed prayer, conceptualization and feeling, supported by intentionally gathered energy. It is a simple and effective process.

Our last two posts in Know Thyself  covered the basics of the subconscious mind according to Huna teachings. Now we’ll move on to a short description of the conscious mind and a more in-depth look at the superconscious or higher-self as taught in Huna.

The conscious mind is our logical “adult” self. It is reasonable and intelligent. It is the planner, the organizer and the thinker. It is unemotional. The conscious mind communicates well with words, speaking its thoughts both internally and out loud. Of your three minds, you may be most familiar with your conscious mind because this is where most of us live on a day-to-day basis. If the subconscious mind is the gas in the engine of your car, the conscious mind is the driver, steering your life this way and that according to your consciously determined desires.

Huna philosophy teaches that the higher self or superconscious self is our God/Goddess-within. The higher self is that divine spark living within each of us. It is also so much more, more than it is possible to understand from our current level of development. However, it is possible to understand some functions of the higher self related to creating what we want in our lives.

The higher self is your master of energy. If you imagine for a moment the 3-D world we live in as an enormous holographic construct, the higher self is the computer genius who creates, programs and updates all the files manifesting as your life. However, and this is important to understand, because of the Law of Free Will, it is you, your conscious and your subconscious, that determine what is being programmed.

The higher self is also your source of guidance and inspiration. It has the ability to communicate with the higher selves of all other beings, and so bring you unlimited ideas, support, and synchronicities in your outer world. Your higher self is able to act as a sort of telephone operator allowing you to receive information and guidance from higher spiritual levels.

The language of the higher self is symbolic. It communicates through dream symbolism, bodily responses (chills, tingles, feelings, as interpreted through the subconscious), intuitive understanding, visual images, and symbols in your outer world.

Your higher self may do all this for you, but because of the Law of Free Will it may not do so unless invited by you. This is an invitation only party and your higher self may only watch lovingly from the sidelines until invited to participate.

The difficult piece for most of us is that in the absence of a positive, consciously intended and supportive belief system the subconscious may ‘ask’ without conscious awareness, so that the higher self will manifest the wounded beliefs of the subconscious, thereby supporting the supposed truth of those beliefs. Free will is just that, free.

Our lesson and our opportunity according to Huna, is to learn to use our free will in a positive way rather than have it determined for us by negative beliefs and old wounds buried in the subconscious mind.

In our next post we’ll explore the Huna method for communicating with your higher self through the practice of breath supported prayer. 

"If you are not using Huna, then you are working too hard."
-Max Freedom Long

There are many different ways to understand ourselves but one of the most useful I’ve found is that taught by Max Freedom Long, best-known researcher of the psycho-religious system of Huna. Huna is based upon the ancient Hawaiian Kahuna healing and manifesting practices. The teachings and techniques available through Huna Research Inc. are surprisingly simple and practical. I have cherry-picked those parts of Huna teachings that I’ve found especially useful, and I will share the basics of what I’ve learned in these posts. For more in-depth research and technique please explore the many resources available on-line and at the Huna Research Inc. website.

Huna teaches that we are made up of three selves, the subconscious or low self, the conscious or middle self, and the superconscious or high self. The subconscious self manages the autonomic functions of the body as well as the emotional body. The conscious self is the reasoning intellect, the will. The superconscious self is our divine self, the divine will. The superconscious, being divine is that part of us which manifests and creates, supported by the subconscious and conscious selves.

Your three selves must be in alignment in order for you to successfully create in your life and maintain your creations. That means getting all three selves on board for whatever you intend to manifest. To do that we need to get to know each of our three selves intimately and how they are interdependent.

In the next few posts here in Know Thyself we’ll come to understand these parts of ourselves according to the teachings of Huna. Once we’ve become familiar with our parts we can explore putting them together. We may discover there’s magic in alignment!
