Trusting the Unseen

Well, aloha and welcome the The Secret Art of Huna. And today I’m going to be talking about trusting the unseen. I don’t know about you but when I was growing up the unseen wasn’t something we really trusted in.

Both in my family and at school, really what we trusted in was the rational, the things that could be seen, the things that could be proven, experimentally, and that was where all the trust was.

Things that couldn’t be seen, like energy, well, no, didn’t exist really. The funny thing was that when it came to God, who obviously is not usually seen, then there was trust in God, you could trust in God, but you couldn’t trust in energy.

The irony of it didn’t strike me at the time, as a kid, I just listened to what people told me and assumed that they were right.

And it wasn’t until much, much later that I started to believe in energy, and in fact, I stopped believing in God, ’cause I couldn’t see him, and I started believing in energy before I regained any kind of belief in a higher power, but that’s another story.

So I spent much of my life being an energy denier, and as I was an energy denier, funnily enough, I didn’t really feel energy.

So back in the early ’90s I trained as a massage therapist. I wanted a back-pocket skill to take on a round-the-world trip, so I studied massage, aromatherapy, Indian head massage, stress management and craniosacral therapy.

All things where you were working with the body. And when I felt anything under my hands, I always assumed it was tissue movement, I assumed it was movement of fluid in the body, but energy, no.

And I ended up teaching some of these topics, and sometimes, especially with craniosacral therapy, you’d see people with their hands around near the head of the client, and their hands would be off.

And I’d go, no, no, no, put your hands on. But I’m sensing the energy. No, no, no, put your hands on the client. So I really was an energy denier on a grand scale. A

nd it was only, it was really through craniosacral that I started to begin to trust that there was an energy field, and that I could feel that energy field, and start to feel it and tune into it.

And then, of course, moving into Huna, the more I got into Huna, the more I became aware of energy, the more I believed in energy, the more sensitive I became to energy.

But I can remember the first Huna workshop that I ever went to, and we did some work with the elements and creating something with the elements.

Everybody else in the room seemed to be able to see it or feel it, me, neither, couldn’t see it, couldn’t feel it. And that was hard because it made me feel less somehow. Everybody else in the room, no problem, me, problem.

So over time, I developed the belief and the ability that I am able to tune into energy. Now, near where I live, there is a stone circle, a standing stone circle, called the Rollright Stones.

It’s about five miles away and its a small circle, and a lot of people haven’t heard of it. It’s very familiar to the dowsing community, it’s familiar to people who are interested in the geomagnetic stuff in the UK, and of course tourists, and of course locals, although a lot of locals have never even been there.

But it’s not regarded by most people as one of the great monuments, it’s not like Stonehenge, except that, energetically, it is a very powerful pLace.

Now, over the years, I’ve been going up to the Rollrights. I’ll go up there on occasions, like the Solstices or Samhain, or Beltane, those events, but sometimes I’ll just feel called.

Something will say to me, hm, need to go up to the Rollrights, time to go to the Rollrights, and I will do That. And the more energy sensitive I’ve got while I’ve been going up there.

I’ve become attuned to the fact that there is energy, it’s not just a set of stones standing in a circle with a couple of off layers, it’s energetic, it’s got a force.

I went up there on Friday because it was the Solstice, and for the first time that I’ve ever seen, there was a warden up there who was talking about the energy of the place, and was letting people take dowsing sticks and try dowsing.

As I say, I felt energy there, I know there’s energy there, but I’ve been quite general in the sense of the energy. With these dowsing sticks, I went up and I started dowsing in areas that Ron the warden had pointed out, and I was amazed.

I’m a very visual person, so I do tend to trust the evidence of my eyes, and I’ve never used dowsing sticks before, but when I used them the movement was extraordinary in some places, and in other places not.

So in some places, you take the two sticks, and in some places the two sticks would just cross like that. In some places maybe one would cross, the other was going forward.

In some places they’d just quiver, and in some places they just stayed pointing forward. It was different in different places, and of course, that’s because a lot of the energy in the Rollrights, there are spirals of energy, it’s not just, we might think of a continuous flow, but there are also spirals within the flow.

At the centre of the ring, when you go into the very centre, there are no stones, but there is an extraordinary, extraordinary energy at the centre of the ring, and I’ve kind of felt it before, but this time I really felt it.

And I took out my little dowsing rods, which obligingly went, fu-dom, and crossed. And I could feel it in my body, and I started really tuning in to my body because that’s where I know that I can feel the energy, in my stomach, when I feel energy.

Tuning in to my stomach and really feeling it. In fact, it was so strong that I actually felt quite sick, so I stepped out of the circle.

That’s the first time I’ve ever experienced it like that, and that’s the first time I’ve ever been really open to the experiencing like that, and expecting that I will experience it in a powerful way.

A couple of interesting things that the warden said was the centre the of the Rollright Stones, that very core, if you stick a temperature probe in, sometimes it’s about three degrees warmer in the centre than it is 50 yards further on.

There’s a very deep water table at a very deep level, and that creates an energy force, and then you’ve got the earth energies themselves.

That was on Friday, on Sunday I went back again to the Rollright Stones because I just wanted to know more. And talking to the warden, I learned that another place that is a very powerful energy centre, that I wasn’t aware of, is Salisbury Cathedral.

I’m running a Huna retreat in July and the retreat is going to be within the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral, literally within a stones throw of the cathedral itself.

Now, cathedrals in general, we know are built on, are typically built on old energy centres, so what would happen was you’d have an energy centre, the ancient people tapped into that centre.

Very often, they put a stone monument or something over it, and then the other face would come and put a wooden something on it. And when Christianity came it, they started to build these much bigger buildings, stone buildings.

So most of the cathedrals, and many of the churches, are built on energy centres. Salisbury Cathedral, apparently, is one of the most complex energy centres in the UK.

And I just felt so emotional about that, the fact that, unknowingly, I’ve arranged a Huna retreat very close to one of the most powerful energy centres in the UK.

So, it also led me to reflect on what happens in terms of trusting the unseen, as far as source is concerned, or higher power, or higher consciousness, whatever name we give to that.

One of the things that I spent a lot of my life not doing was trusting in higher power, because I didn’t really believe in it.

But, again, as I’ve got into Huna, I’ve become more aware, more conscious of a higher consciousness, of a higher power, of a higher something, and I’ve become more trusting in it.

Can’t see it, I can see the results of it, I can feel the results of it. For instance, these energy centres in nature, but I can’t see it.

So trusting in it, for me, has been a difficult journey because I’m not inclined to trust something that I can’t see. The more I’ve trusted and learned to trust in source, the more things happen, the more things manifest, the more things change, synchronicities happen.

So you’ve probably had this experience of a loved one in your family who’s not near, who’s away from you, might just be that they’re in a different building or they’re down the road, but they’re not by you.

Could be a child, it could be a sibling, it could be a partner, somebody that you’re close to, could be a friend, somebody you’re really close to, and you think oh, I must phone them or I must text them, and no sooner has that thought passed your brain than you receive a text from them or you receive a phone call from them.

Or you phone them, you text them, and you get something back that says, oh, I was just thinking of you.

We know it happens, we have those experiences, but what I find has happened the more I trust source, the more I believe in source, and allow myself to give it up to source.

The more I find that things happen, synchronicities happen, the more I find that I can manifest, I can start to bring what I want in. And the more life becomes beautiful, the more life becomes joyful, the more life has purpose and point.

So, if you’re like me and you struggle with trusting the unseen or trusting the unfelt, then sometimes it’s a question of surrender, it’s a question of just saying okay.

I can’t see it, I can’t feel it, but I believe it’s there, and I’m gonna allow it to work it’s magic, to have its impact. I’m gonna allow myself to give stuff up. When things aren’t working, give it up to source. I’m gonna allow myself to do that.

And allow myself to realise that sometimes miracles happen in interesting ways. I’ve mentioned this before, but when I was doing the hospice work, I was talking to somebody..

A relative of theirs, a loved one of theirs was near the end of life, and was talking about how they had prayed for help and they were angry with God because help hadn’t come.

They were Christians. Angry with God because help hadn’t come. And then as they were reflecting at the end of life, they remarked that help had come.

It had come in human form. All the helpers that had helped them in the last days of their life, but because it didn’t look like a miracle, they didn’t see it as help.

So it’s also about where we look and where we notice. When we put up a prayer, when we ask for help from source, we give it up to source.

Noticing what comes and being open to the fact it may come from all sorts of unexpected directions. It may not look like a miracle, It may not look like synchronicity, but be open to the possibility, because when we do that, life becomes more joyous and just amazing.

And if you want to learn more, ladies, come to the retreat, come to Salisbury, 22nd to the 26th of July, and let’s go and experience some of that energy that I’ve been talking about, as well as learning about Huna and the profound way it can develop your link with higher consciousness.

Otherwise, I’ll see you along the way, and look forward to hearing what you thought of this video. Lots of love, take care now.
