Let the magic infuse your life

This book is in my opinion one of the best introductions to the principles of Huna, Hawaiian ancestral wisdom that gives man the means to manifest his dreams and to find the Promised Land: the one where his heart lies in peace and harmony . The seven principles of Huna that Serge Kahili King explains to the reader are: 1 - The world is what you think it is 2 - There are no limits 3 - Energy Flows Where Attention Goes. 4 - Now Is The Moment Of Power. 5 - To Love Is To Be Happy With (someone or something). 6 - All Power Comes From Within. 7 - Effectiveness Is The Measure Of Truth. At first sight these principles may seem simple, obvious and maybe candid. But I think they contain within them the seeds of any act of creation. And personally what I like most in the book "Hawaiian Huna Ancient Secrets for Modern Living" is the ability of the author to lead us to the heart of each of these principles as we do discover them in a practical way through a series of exercises. Serge Kahili King believes deeply in the principles of Huna, not simply be cause he needs to believe, but because he experiences the magic of this wisdom daily. I invite you too to follow his path and to test the principles of Huna. A warning though: expect to see your reality opens up to a whole new world where everything is possible.

interesting

For all you Hawaiian's at heart, and have felt that spiritual presence on each of the Islands, this is a really good book for you! it is insightful and worth the read, There truly is no place on this earth like the Hawaiian islands, and Huna is something we all have even if we have to dig deep in to our selves, with the right attitude you can bring it forth and live a more meaningful life.

Practical shamanism.

I've read several of this author's book over the past 5 years. I've learned a lot from each. This seems to be his most recent work; and is the most refined, concise, and usable of them all. I instantly began using the 7 principles of Huna which he shares early in the book; and have incorporated them into a daily practice, with immense positive benefits. I appreciate his down to earth simplicity; and the way he easily communicates his certainty......those vibrations billow off the page, and made me willing to respect and USE his teaching without doubts. No time to write more now; but HIGHLY recommend this work, especially to folks who've done a lot of consciousness exploration and would like something now to firmly support them in walking their talk in our current vibrational climate of extraordinary change. I feel such essential gentleness from King as well; which gives him even more credibility for me.

Hard-boiled practical wisdom with a warm touch

If you aren't familiar with the author, I think the best introduction would be to list the "7 Principles of Huna," as presented by King: 1. The World Is What You Think It Is. 2. There are no limits. 3. Energy Flows Where Attention Goes. 4. Now Is The Moment Of Power. 5. To Love Is To Be Happy With (someone or something). 6. All Power Comes From Within. 7. Effectiveness Is The Measure Of Truth. Me? I like this approach. A lot. This book starts with these principles, expands on them (without ever getting too head-in-the-clouds or "new age-y"), and boils it all down to practical approaches towards greater effectiveness and happiness. It's a shorter read than you might expect, but I didn't finish feeling like there was anything missing. If anything, he just wrote what he needed to without padding it unnecessarily. There are enough parallels to safely place King's teachings in the 'New Thought'/'Law of Attraction' category, but I found his words to be more grounded (and less marketing-obsessed) than many of the other authors in that field. Highly recommended for those seeking to create the life that they want.

Easy living!

Serge Kahili King is one of the best teachers on the applications of how to transform your life and the planet by the powers of the mind. He explains the Huma teachings and their applications. He explains the seven principles of Huna and how to use them for success. He gives clear and easy steps to change and improve living related to health, wealth, and success in all areas of one's life. He does not brag on his outstanding knowledge or imply that he is a great, all-knowing person. He is humble and basic. Everyone I have given his books to, especially his material on Shamanism, are as equally addicted to his teaching and writing style as I am. Learning how to impact the planet in positive ways,improve my life style, and manage daily encounters with people who are clueless to the fact that they create their own reality, has truly made my life harmoniously peaceful and easy.
