It is considered that <I>mana<\/I> has three primary forms; each of them functions in one of the three basic levels of man&#8221;s personality. <I>Mana<\/I>, the basic force of life, operates in the infrastructure of the Inferior Self (unihipili), which is the subconscious mind. <I>Mana<\/I> has the power to build and to maintain&nbsp;forms, including the physical body, and it is similar to&nbsp;ethereal energy. <I>Mana-mana<\/I> operates in the structure of the Median Self <I>(uhane)<\/I>, the conscious mind. It is the creative power of the will and manifests thought and the emotions corresponding to&nbsp;astral energy. <I>Mana-loa<\/I> operates in the supra-structure of the Superior Self <I>(aumakua)<\/I>, the supra-conscious mind. This is a subtle energy of a very high frequency that can be cultivated and used for instantaneous healings and to realise miracles. It also contains the power of&nbsp;compassion and an equivalent term could be&nbsp;causal energy.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>The Huna tradition states that all&nbsp;forms of <I>mana<\/I> (energy) flow through the human body as waves that emanate from the solar plexus and flow symmetrically downwards to one of the legs and then&nbsp;upwards to the opposite shoulder; the&nbsp;flow resembling the number 8 shape. The principle of the sublimation of energy is also known in the Huna tradition. It is considered that <I>mana<\/I> on the inferior levels can be converted and raised to the superior levels. This tradition also mentions that&nbsp;energy <I>(mana)<\/I> can be manipulated through specific exercises involving respiration and visualization.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mana is a concept used in the Huna tradition in Hawaii.
