What It's Like To Do Huna Day-To-Day

When I started out doing Huna, I would just forget about it for months at a time until it occurred to me again to practice. Like clockwork, when I was doing Huna, things were peachy, and when I wasn't doing Huna, they were not. But why on earth could I not just keep going?

I started giving myself a precise schedule, with timers and reminders. That worked a little bit, but it took the fun out of it. What was the point of living a life of magic and wonder if I needed to be this bureaucratic about it?

I was feeling bummed out about this, and did some Huna to cheer myself up.

Then it hit me. If I could train myself to respond with 'doing Huna' to certain situations, I was going to be in business. My practice would adapt automatically to whatever my schedule was at the time.

So I started out with reminding myself to to a Haipule in the morning, and some inner gardening before I went to bed.

It took quite some time. But now, years later, I manage to:

• Do a short Haipule when I wake up
• Turn on the La'a Kea when I enter a room full of people
• Do a sight Nalu meditation whenever I'm walking around outside
• Dreamchange most situations into exceptionally great ones, such as passers-by high fiving each other and celebrating my existence
• Do a short Haipule when I take any kind of short break
• Uncover the belief whenever I feel more than a little bit "off"
• Symbol healing whenever someone else is more than a little "off"
• Do weather magic whenever it starts to rain and I didn't bring a coat
• I talk to my ku whenever something happens in my behavior that needs to be a bit different.
• Immediately practice forgiveness if anything goes wrong
  Especially if I miss a situation where I want to do Huna!

It doesn't always work, I still miss these a lot. But- it doesn't matter. I'm doing a lot of Huna.

There are many other interesting schedules used in Huna, but this situation-dependent one is the one I use. 

So by all means, if you want to give this one a try, start out by setting yourself some kind of electronic reminder to do Huna once a day- or as often as it doesn't bother you. It's a neat backup plan to start out. But then, work on one situation, and one Huna way to respond to it. Soon enough- thanks to your daily practice, you will have you will be a shaman.
