First Principle in Huna

A Journey Through the Principles of Huna

The First Principle: The world is what you think it is.

How do you look at the world?
And who are you in that looking?

These are powerful questions. Huna takes us back into our own power. When fear, uncertainty, or self-doubt take center stage in our lives, we often turn to others for answers. Huna reminds us: Breathe. Take a moment. You are the maker of your world.

Let’s go inward.

Let’s see what is taking place in your reality right now. Let’s observe how you are interpreting this reality—what are your thoughts, your feelings? Where does this story come from? Is it familiar? Who are you in this looking? And how has it served you?

By asking these questions, we step into a place of self-awareness—a space where we can be compassionate, understanding, and curious with ourselves. And in that curiosity and compassion, we begin to create more space.

Who you are in this moment begins to relax, to soften, to open. And in that change of frequency, in that shift of attention, everything begins to open. We reconnect with our breath, bringing ourselves fully into the present, into the moment, into our power.

When we become aware of how we see, experience, and interpret, we can breathe, move out of old stories, and ask:
What is this experience wanting to teach me? How might I see this differently?

Suddenly, we begin to meet our experiences in a new way. We explore, with the resources already within us, what wants to be drawn out, awakened, witnessed, and released. Often, what consumes our energy are those shadowy, dark places of the past we’ve chosen to shut ourselves off from. Bringing light to these areas is not easy—but it is essential.

It can be intense to face old memories, to witness the misunderstandings they hold about ourselves, and how those old perceptions affect how we meet the world today. Yet when we shine our present self’s light on the past, we begin to see clearly: we are more than our history. We are not defined by it. Embracing our imperfections allows us to acknowledge who we are today.

This new way of seeing reveals patterns in our lives. The characters may change, but the energy or conflict often remains the same. When patterns repeat, it signals that exploration is needed, questions are waiting to be asked, and new truths are ready to be revealed.

We can move to the question: What is this experience wanting to teach me, and how will I apply that teaching now?

By asking this, our frequency shifts. We move from resistance to receptivity. New understandings emerge. We reconnect with resources within ourselves, and our experiences begin to change. When we release attachment to old, intense energy, its negative charge transforms into a more positive frequency.

Through this active awareness, we awaken the power within to create change. When we check in with ourselves, we return to full empowerment through one of our greatest gifts: the will to choose. We can choose to create positive change through awareness and intentional action.

We are profoundly powerful when we come into relationship with ourselves—our thoughts, stories, emotions, and the way we choose to see the world around us.

This journey is not always easy. It is full of hills and valleys. That’s why compassion, patience, understanding, and having supportive people in our lives are so important. When we create space to witness ourselves, we shift energy, frequency, and vibration—ultimately transforming our reality over time.

One of the ways I realized the importance of clarity and attention in my life was through a simple but profound exercise I experienced during a Huna teacher training course with Serge King.
