HUNA & HAWAIIAN WISDOM

Huna is the ancient Hawaiian system of knowledge and practice that predates Western contact by centuries. Far from primitive superstition, Huna represents a sophisticated understanding of consciousness, energy, and reality that aligns remarkably well with modern physics. These articles explore Hawaiian wisdom through the lens of far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics.

The Hawaiian concept of mana—life force or spiritual power—maps directly onto the thermodynamic concept of free energy. The three selves of Huna psychology (unihipili, uhane, and aumakua) correspond to different levels of information processing in the brain. The practice of ho'oponopono (making right) is a method for reducing psychological entropy. The parallels are striking.

These articles explore Huna principles like Ike (awareness creates reality), Kala (there are no limits), Makia (energy flows where attention goes), and Manawa (now is the moment of power). We examine how these principles work at the level of neuroscience and physics, and how you can apply them to transform your life.

Hawaiian culture preserved wisdom that Western civilization nearly destroyed. These articles honor that wisdom by showing its deep alignment with cutting-edge science—and by making it accessible to anyone seeking a more integrated way of living.
