Your Emotional Legacy

Well, aloha, and welcome. I wanted to talk to you today about something that I call emotional legacy. And what I mean by emotional legacy is the legacy that we leave our kids, we leave the next generation in terms of our emotional behaviour. So the way that they can role model the emotional behaviour that they experience in their families growing up.

So when I set up the Facebook group Secret Art of Huna for Powerful Transformation, I really didn’t think there were gonna be very many people who would be interested in it. I was convinced that Huna wasn’t something that was known in the U.K., wasn’t something anybody would be interested in.

So I set up the group with very low expectations, and I was wrong. And I’m really glad that I was wrong, because since the summer of 2019, so that’s in the space of about 9 months, we’re just under 1000 members in the group. So that’s 1000 women who’ve all put their hands up and said I’m interested in this thing called Huna.

I’m interested in the spiritual, the energetic, and the healing practises of the ancient Hawaiians. And that’s really, really great. And as I’ve been working with the group, and as I’ve been looking at the clients that I attract as a coach, I’ve realised that the people that I attract tend to be women.

They tend to be 50 plus, and they tend to be concerned about, they don’t wanna live their lives in their 50s, their 60s, their 70s, their 80s, their 90s; they don’t want to live like their mothers and grandmothers did. They don’t want to feel that trapped-ness, they don’t want to leave the kid of emotional legacies that their mothers and grandmothers did.

Either the emotional legacy of shut-downess and suppression, and we never talk about what we’re feeling, or an emotional legacy of just screaming and shouting all the time, every time anything gets a little bit too much.

They want to leave a different emotional legacy. They’re looking to bring sparkle and brilliance back into their life. They feel that life has lost a certain joyfulness, a certain quality, and they’re looking to bring that back into their lives. They’re looking to live, and enjoy life, and be truly modern women. ‘Cause let’s face it, I’m in my 60s, and let’s face it, nowadays as women in our 50s and 60s, it’s not old anymore.

When I was a kid, my grandma was 60, and that was old, that was very old, she was semi-bedridden. Nowadays, 60 year old women are quite happily doing marathons, and triathlons, and all sorts of things. It’s a very, very different world that we’re living in. And the women that I tend to serve, are women who are looking to really embrace that, and look at how Huna can help them embrace that.

Now one of the things I’ve noticed is that there’s almost this epidemic of women seeking their purpose, really keen to find out what it was they were put on the planet to do, but not quite sure where to go for that help.

Women who wanna have better relationships, and looking for Huna as a way of supporting them in that. Women who wanna be more physically vital, and healthy, wanting support with that. And women who, let’s face it, aren’t doing so well emotionally, aren’t feeling that joy, and really want to use Huna to help them reclaim that joy.

And those are all things that Huna can help you with. But it’s not just a question of sitting and watching me doing a couple of videos. It’s not just a question of reading a book.

There’s work to be done, and the work, I always say that the work has two main phases, well three actually, but the first phase, is identify what lies at the root of the problem, what are the limiting beliefs, what are the values, what lies underneath it all? What do you need to deal with so that you can have this sparkle and brilliance, and leave the emotional legacy that you want to leave?

Second question then is once you’ve done that work of identification, how do you resolve it? How do you let go of the beliefs and the emotions? And Huna can really help with that, because it’s got some brilliant, really accelerated tools for helping with that.

And then of course the third piece is taking action. Because if you keep doing what you always did, you’ll get the same results as what you’ve always got. So taking action very often is just as simple as changing your behaviours, changing the way that you react to things. But sometimes it’s a bit more complicated than that.

So, one of the ways that I help women to really deep dive into that is by running retreats. I run one-day workshops, I run two-day workshops, and I run retreats. And the big retreat, the five day retreat, happens once a year at the moment.

But it’s a real opportunity to look at what it is that you need to resolve, using the tools to resolve it, and then bringing in new strategies, new ways of being, new behaviours, so that you can actually bring back the joy and sparkle, find the purpose, and live life in a different way.

If you’d like to know more about that, go to SecretartofHuna.com/retreat or you can contact me directly secretartofhuna.com/diary. And I look forward to talking to you very soon.
