THE AO
While many of us are familiar with the chakra centers that run along
our
central core at the spinal cord few of us are even aware of the Ao,
these
energy centers are said to be among the most important of the lost
information
about the energy body , these centers are said to create and hold the
chakra
in existence through the tension , interaction and harmony between the
centers and to be a representation of a core or primal aspect of
ourselves
and the universe .
The Yin Yang symbol used in the East represents in
part
the
universe held together by the interaction of different polarities the
cross
of fire represents the grand design of the universes as an interaction
of the nine centers or realms of being/Force, the Ao.
The Ao centers are located
at
1 . the crown: top of head -
will
divine will , our own personal will and to the
guiding
force present in all matter, intention.
2. right eye: center of eye socket- time
time in the abstract, timing or sequence of action,
timelessness,
real time ,the illusion of time
3. right shoulder: about a quarter of an inch into
the body
go over about 2 inches toward the arm from the nipple and up
about
1 inch below the collar bone
-venturing beginning new actions, entering
new
realms whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual
4. right hip: center of hip socket
-Action
usually denotes action in the middle of the period or
situation
being considered
5. Perineum: ( halfway between the anus and the genitals )
-
anchoring
This can
refer
to ending action but more often refers to taking steps to ensure that
the
effects offense actions are real and lasting ,the effects of an action
of
in nature becoming lasting
6. left hip: center of hip socket - contemplation
Meditation in general, consideration and reflection on
the
actions one has taken
7. left shoulder: about a quarter of an inch
into the
body go over about 2 inches toward the arm from the nipple and up about
1 inch below the collar bone - Appreciation
The quality of appreciation in general ,especially
appreciation
of the divine, as well as the appreciation of the results of
action
taken.
8. left eye: Harmony/Justice center of eye socket
-
ho Oponopono harmony Justice Making things right, For
beginning
purposes refers to divine plan and that human justice should be a
reflection of the divine plan a profound and difficult to translate
concept
central to Hawaiian Mysticism ,I have seen it translated as family
therapy
and as divine completeness and perfection also.
9 . the Heart :THe Heart, Love divine Love, universal love
, personal
and interpersonal love the qualities that give rise to and
emerge from love
THE
CROSS OF FIRE
The cross of fire may be familiar to us
as
a common apparently
decorative motif in Hawaiian art and crafts with
many variations ,this being four crosses around a
central
cross. Different patterns of these crosses have different
meanings many of which may have been lost.
The crosses around the outside here symbolize the
highest of
the
energies of the four elements Earth, Water, Fire, Air, the cross in the
center is Spirit. This is just the simplest of probable
multilayered meanings .
This fairly simple symbol contains hidden and
revealed layers
upon layers of the teachings at the center of Huna . The Energies
and information symbolized by this figure represent a guide
to Understanding
the Universe and humanity's part in it. The cross of Fire is central to
the Huna philosophy of life and to the huna system of Self empowerment
and creation That it might be considered to be at the core of
Huna
Teachings. I will begin the explanation at the entry levels . the
Chakra
system is familiar to many Metaphysical and alternate health
practitioners.
The chakra are by no means the only energy centers.
Huna is aware of many others including the AO different
schools
of Kahuna teachings do give different energy centers and
priorities
. I will repeat the caution I was given by some that if you do the
Cross
of fire procedure you do it as given and do not experiment with the
various
energy channels unless you are clearly guided to do so by your
Aumakua
your Huna Spiritual guides and /or ancestors.
The exercise is to go around the cross focusing on each Ao
energy
center for about a
minute each, start at the crown and to go around in the
order
given but after doing the left eye to go up to the crown a second
time back to the left eye to the right eye and from there to the heart
chakra.
The energy centers of the Cross of Fire : 1. crown 2. right eye 3.
right
shoulder 4. right hip 5. perineum 6. left hip 7. left shoulder 8.
left
eye 9. crown 10. left eye 11. right eye 12. heart
Focus on each ao in turn . Some Huna traditions
may do
a simple spiral others simply focus on the crown, heart,
perineum
and the four corners of shoulders and hips .
You may feel energy run as you do this or you may not.
the
opening of these energy
centers can lead to profound transformation and
evolution
at all levels of your being.
The traditional Huna way of working with the cross of
fire
is to First, teach a procedure and only to explain it after
considerable
work has been done.
Some Huna traditions do use energetic attunements or
spiritual
initiations to facilitate and amplify the affects of these and other
practices.
Your guides and Spiritual teachers may also be able bring the
initiation
into you if it is in your highest good. Doing the exercise given
above will also help to open these centers and channels . whether or
not
you have been initiated.
