The ancient wisdom of Hawai'i has been guarded for centuries -- handed down through lines of kinship to form the tradition of Huna. Dating back to the time before the first missionary presence arrived in the islands, the tradition of Huna is more than just a philosophy of living -- it is intertwined and deeply connected with every aspect of Hawaiian life.
Blending ancient Hawaiian wisdom with modern practicality, Serge Kahili King imparts the philosophy behind the beliefs, history, and foundation of Huna. More important, King shows readers how to use Huna philosophy to attain both material and spiritual goals. To those who practice Huna, there is a deep understanding about the true nature of life -- and the real meaning of personal power, intention, and belief. Through exploring the seven core principles around which the practice revolves, King passes onto readers a timeless and powerful wisdom.

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.
Hawaiian wisdom
Kumu King attempts to present tradition Hawaiian precepts in a way that is understandable to the Western minds. In my research for my novel, Wai-nani, High Chiefess of Hawaii, I read many of the early authors attempting to translate Hawaiian thinking into modern ways of understanding. King goes a step further suggesting modes of application. I found the book useful in that it helped me understand some of the basic ideas of how to achieve personal power, intention of thought and living in love and harmony with others and the environment.
King is not a native Hawaiian, though he has lived in Hawaii most of his life. He has a degree in psychology, has studied cross-cultural ties and has learned that many roads lead to the same truth. His is a thoughtful presentation that is a round up of thoughts found between the covers of modern self-help books and demonstrates how the ancient Hawaiian approach is similar in many ways. The book is worth reading because it serves as a refresher course on how to rid ourselves of self-limiting negative thoughts and how to take responsibility for what is happening in our own lives. I think this book was written with great Aloha for his readers and should be added to the library of anyone wanting a better understanding of what the word "Huna" really means.
