Question: What are the most important Huna practices?
Answer: Well, from my perspective, that would be the TMHG and Fire-walk of course. Both require initiation to do.
The Fire-walk has been a sacred ceremony for thousands of years in many tribes. The Huna Fire-walk Ceremony that has emerged in Huna is tribal with roots in Polynesia.
In fact, Huna was born in the Fire. It was in 1872 when William Tufts Brigham walked over hot lava with the last three Volcano Kahunas on the Big Island, Hawaii. This was his initiation to direct contact with the spiritual forces that evolved through his life and Max’s into Huna.
It is kind of ironic that Max never fire-walked ,since he spoke so much about it and unraveled so many other mysteries in Huna. But nobody was available in his day to initiate him. This was long before the Firewalk movement of the 1980s. At one point he almost had somebody to initiate him but the Fire-walk Priest died before his Fire-walk Initiation could occur.
But Max did lay down the groundwork for fire-walking in Huna as a ceremony. In Huna, the Fire-walk Ceremony is proof that a person has faith and becomes the model for how to live with the 3-part self in lokahi (unity and harmony).
The TMHG (pronounced: tim-hug) is the other critical Huna practice. You can access the TMHG by submitting a Prayer Request to a Prayer Kahuna. All 3 organizations in Max Freedom Long’s lineage have an active TMHG for joining on a regular basis or submitting requests for prayer support.
