I wasn’t too impressed with day 3 of the Huna event – but day 4 was great.
We took a ride down to the hot pools in Ahalanui Park. These hot pools are fed by volcanic activity, and despite the sea continually splashing into the pool, it stays a nice toasty temperature. We were focussing on our relationship to wind and to water – observing the patterns in wind and in water, and seeing what we can learn from them – how the approach of wind, and the approach of water, can be used in different situations.
I spent a lot of time just staring out to see, enjoying the waves, and the wind, and feeling completely close to the elements as the wind wrapped itself around me.
We also took a few minutes to visit Lava Tree Park – where the lava rushed through so swiftly that the trees didn’t have time to burn, but the lava took the form of the tree that it consumed. I’m not sure if I was so much impressed by that as the incredible tree canopy though
And then we drove down to the lava fields. The last time we went, all the security was gone home and tucked up in bed – and we got really close. This time, we couldn’t really get near the lava – but what amazed us were the buildings, set up on the old lava field. I guess they’re hoping lightning won’t strike in the same place twice. I wouldn’t guarantee Pele will be that kind.
Sorry, bad picture in poor light – but I had to put it in. A way away is a property where the lava from the previous eruption has flowed round and spared the property – there are many of these spots across the island where the lava never flows no matter how many times it erupts.
Huna principle 3
MAKIA – Energy goes where attention flows
If you think about it, that’s true at a very simple level – when we focus on something, then we find that things happen around it. At a metaphysical level, then the more that we focus on something, the more the strange and wonderful happens around it.
In the evening
