Product Description

The wisdom and spirituality of Hawaiian elders is a facet of Hawaiian culture that outsiders rarely see or truly understand. New Age veteran Sondra Ray and her personal guide, Auntie Pua, act as messengers of the Aloha spirit, sharing the sacred teachings of the Kahunas — the "transmitters of secrets" — through kitchen-table style storytelling and first-hand adventures. The ancient rituals and basic tenets of the Huna way — loving oneself, nurturing other beings and the land, and living in harmony with all of life — provide a powerful code of transformation, leading to a deeper spiritual life more in tune with the rhythms of the natural world. By identifying the three core selves present in everyone, and in coordinating the way the three selves interact, readers learn to control their own reality — this is the Huna Way.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pele's Wish, February 1, 2007

By	Hawaiian Eye "Hawaiian Eye" - See all my reviews

Being a Pele devotee and a student of Hawaiian religion and philosophy, I couldn't wait to read this book and was sadly, very disappointed. I felt this was more of an examination of Ray's life; an edited version of what she experienced. I did not feel at all like she shared her lessons or taught me anything about Pele's Wish. The book felt rushed and incomplete to me. Her mission statement remained frustratingly remote and opaque. There are better, more useful books on the subject of Hawaiian religion and healing such as Connie Rios' "Ka Hana Pono" book and cards which are actual tools to connect you with Spirit. Still, I am glad Madame Pele is finding new audiences (hopefully). Aloha oe.
