Aloha
Aloha! It’s an easy breezy greeting – coming or going – that takes us to tropical places in our minds and always brings a smile. However in Huna Philosophy, it means something much more. Out of the seven Huna tenants, this one especially applies to relationships, and relating to others. Aloha To love is to be happy with As love increases judgment decreases Seriously now, read that again. As love increases, judgment decreases. Conversely, unfortunately, that means as judgment increases, love decreases. Holy Hannah!!! This means as I am judging my son because he is a slob I am loving him less. As I am judging my husband for being moody I am loving him less. As I am judging my father for being stubborn, I am loving him less. As I am judging...
Makia, Energy Goes Where Attention Flows
In our continuing article series on Huna Philosophy we are talking about Makia. Makia Energy goes where attention flows. Everything is energy. Once upon a time I had a client. We will call her Sandy. Sandy had decided to leave her husband. It wasn’t in question, it was a done deal. She’d been finished with the marriage for at least a year, and had put off making her decision final hoping things would change. However, things had only worsened and she had made up her mind. However, and this is a big HOWEVER, she couldn’t walk out the door quite yet. There were some unusual financial concerns. Not to mention his mother was terminally ill and had been given just a few weeks to live. Timing couldn’t have been worse – but she was still...
IKE is the Place I Like to Start and End My Day
I have a framed copy of the Huna Philosophy on my desk. I love it. I saw it the first time more then a decade ago on a therapists wall. I read it and thought to myself, “This is everything I believe to be true about the world in seven simple points.” I loved it so much I wrote it on toilet paper, (it was all I could find to write on), and I carried it around in my purse for months. I look at it everyday and Huna philosophy does one thing for me. It helps me keep it real. Like most things, it is simple, but not necessarily easy. However, the more I try to apply it to my life the easier it is for me to find my way to peace in most situations. The place I find the seven simple truths work the most magic – you guessed it – relationships. For...
What is Love? Here’s the Answer!
This week I would like to talk about a subject that has been front and center in my life for the last few days. The question is, what is love? Maybe more specifically the question is, how do I know if they love me?? The answer is often illusive or confusing. I had a moment of crystal clarity with my son this week – if you are a parent, you know what those moments are like. We were in the car, having a discussion, pulled over at the side of the road, and I’m pleading with him. “If you only learn one thing from me in your my lifetime, let it be this.” If you are a parent, as you might imagine, I just got a roll of the eyes and a heavy sigh. So, my plea to you all is the same – if you get one thing I say – get this. Love is a...
Unconditional Love from a Distance
I was sitting with Casey in a coffee shop as she struggled to hold back tears. She was desperately trying to figure out how she was going to tell her husband. Her younger sister Amy, who had been in a very physically abusive relationship had decided to leave her boyfriend about six months earlier. Cacey and her husband emptied their savings account so Casey could fly across the country and help get Amy relocated to back to their home state. They set her up in a condo and got her back on her feet. Amy had walked a couple of times before and had always gone back to him. However, Cacey thought that by moving her across the country Amy would stay away from him for good. This morning Cacey had got a phone call from Amy. Amy was at the airport, on her way back to...
