INTRODUCTION TO HUNA
    In addition to the widely accepted teachings of the world’s great religions and philosophies, a more esoteric body of secret knowledge has been shared by initiates throughout history. Building on both the mundane and the arcane, Huna offers a system of self-improvement that cuts through the confusion of modern life.
    Essentially, Huna states that you are in control of your life, your mind, and your reality. “The most fundamental idea in Huna philosophy is that we each create our own personal experience of reality, by our beliefs, interpretations, actions and reactions, thoughts and feelings,” King writes.
    A corollary to this is that our creative potential is unlimited. “You can create, in some form or another, anything you can conceive,” King continues. This is why it’s important to replace limiting beliefs based on past dating experiences with unlimited beliefs about the present and future.
    Within the Huna belief system, there are seven main principles.
1.
The world is what you think it is: The foundation of Huna, this principle asserts that you create your own personal experience of reality. “By changing your thinking, you can change your world,” King writes.
2.
There are no limits: There are no true boundaries between you and your body, you and others, or even you and God. The divisions that we generally recognize are arbitrary constraints placed by limited consciousness.
3.
Energy flows where attention goes: When you dwell upon certain thoughts and feelings, you write the plotline for your life. Focus is the fuel for your positive or negative perceptions. So, for example, don’t give some girl who ignored you the power to ruin your day by letting yourself dwell on the incident.
4.
Now is the moment of power: At this moment, you are not hindered by any past experiences, and you are not obligated to any future duties (except paying taxes, of course). “You have the power in the present moment to change limiting beliefs and consciously plant theseeds for a future of your choosing,” King writes. “As you change your mind, you change your experience.”
5.
To love is to be happy with: People exist through love, King says, and acknowledging this allows you to exist in a state of happiness with yourself as you are now and as you will become in the future.
6.
All power comes from within : If you want to change your reality, you can’t wait for divine intervention. It’s up to you to change your existence. This principle also contains King’s crucial admonition that “no other person can have power over you or your destiny unless you decide to let him or her have it.” For some, this means that it’s time to stop blaming friends, family, work, or society for holding them back from social success and start accepting responsibility.
7.
Effectiveness is the measure of truth: Sit in any courtroom, and you’ll realize there are many versions of the truth. In an infinite universe, King writes, there is no absolute truth, only “an effective truth at an individual level of consciousness.” Put simply, do whatever works for you.
THE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF NEGATIVITY
    To improve your inner game, it’s vital that you recognize the detrimental effects of negative thoughts and energy. “Generally speaking, negative attitudes produce inner stress, which translates to physical tension and can affect organs and even cells,” King writes.
    The simplest way to change a negative attitude to a positive one is to be aware of bad thoughts when they appear, then consciously change them to a positive opposite. “You can do this whether or not the apparent facts of the situation seem to warrant it,” King adds.
THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND
    When it comes to the subconscious, the common perception is that it lurks in the recesses of
