In the Huna tradition of Hawaii, there are seven elemental forces whose all-pervading energies flow around us in abundance. Each of us has the ability to easily tap into this rich source of energy to aid us in any situation, empower ourselves and our actions, and manifest good things in our lives. In this full-color practical guide, Susanne Weikl details how to connect mentally and spiritually with Huna’s seven elemental forces of nature--water, fire, wind, rock, plants, animals, and beings of light, including angels. Providing simple exercises, techniques, and rituals, she invites you to sense and meet each of the elemental forces and draw on their powers for manifestation and empowerment. You will learn to communicate directly with nature spirits, including gnomes, dwarfs, leprechauns, and the weather, and work with nature on an energetic level. You will learn how to build a wheel of the elements to anchor your connection to the energies of the elements and provide a conduit for easily accessing their powers at any time. You will also receive inspirational messages from each of the seven elemental forces.

By connecting with the seven elemental forces of Hawaiian shamanism, you open yourself to an infinite reservoir of energy, an oracle for finding answers to difficult questions, a powerful support for manifesting positive outcomes, and an intuitive source for decoding symbols in nature. We each are already connected with nature and, with the practices in this book, we each can become a nature energy worker.

Wind

As Shakespeare says, Blow, blow, thou winter wind, thou art not so unkind. The wind is invisible and light as air, and yet we feel its presence. The wind is called makani in the Hawaiian language. This word expresses how the wind always has a destination, how it makes its presence felt with sounds, and how it can howl loudly in triumph; it can fit through the eye of a needle, has many faces, yet is always fresh, brisk, and ever-present in the ways it supports us. This is just to give you an idea of the primeval forces that the wind has in store for you. The wind is capricious, changing rapidly, and drives the other elements; the wind brings the air we breathe, as well as inspiration and communication with ourselves and with others. It carries our words out into the world and ensures we are heard. Wind appears to have no substance, it gets everywhere, it is flexible and can read our thoughts. This brings us the gift of greater awareness, sharpens our self-perception, and helps us to achieve insights.

Greeting

Focus on the wind, or alternatively on your own breath, hearing and feeling it.

Sense its purposefulness, its capacity for change, its expressiveness, and its presence.

Explore how the wind interacts with the other elements and how it deals with resistance.

Intone a syllable, and then intone the same syllable using the power of the wind to help you. Feel the difference when the wind accompanies this self-expression. Now try how it feels to speak loudly and clearly, with and without the wind.

Fire

Our hearts are on fire when we are passionate about something, and this capacity for excitement and interest is typical of the element of fire. The sun appears in the sky day after day, bringing light into our lives, and in Hawaii, fire is known as ahi. Fire is scorching and untamed, it burns, glows, and sizzles; it can crackle quietly or spit sparks, hiss and fizz, destroy or unite in the heat of passion. Fire represents every kind of freedom, endurance, intensity, transformation, illumination, wakefulness, and warmth. Fire is unlimited and insatiable in its vitality, it is destruction and renewal: the pure transformation and passion that brings us freedom. When we throw something into the fire, we free it from its form and issue an invitation to take on a new and better form. It is an element that couldn’t have been more perfectly created for changing constraining rules.

Greeting

Focus your attention entirely on the sun or another source of fire. In what form do you sense the power of fire?

Forge a link between yourself and the freedom, passion, intensity, and brilliance of the fire.

Explore the power of the fire that is within you; how brightly does it
