Huna Kupua Healing
The Eye Of Kanaloa
The first “Huna” symbol that I was presented with in my training at High Spirit was The Eye of Kanaloa. Philosophies from around the world, including Huna, utilise symbolism for different purposes. As I am progressing into my spiritual journey, I really enjoy learning and experimenting on the quality of the eye of Kanaloa symbol, so I thought it was about time to turn it into another poster and share it on my website
In the old mythology of Hawaii, Kanaloa was the god of the ocean, god of healing, and the companion of Kane, god of creation, is also considered to be the god of the Underworld and a teacher of magic.., Kanaloa is symbolized by the squid or by the octopus, hence the tenticles in my artwork
The word Ka-na-loa, also translates in it`s root as "the great peace, or the great stillness." With the connotation of total confidence. In Serge Kahili King Huna Kupua traditions , Kanaloa represents the Core Self, or the centre of the universe within oneself.
A lot has been said about this symbol, below is an explanation from Serge article on its meaning. I also have found more information written by Kim Fallon, Alakai of Aloha international explaining technique on how to use it and listed link at the end of this paragraph

“The Pattern
As a whole, the pattern represents the Aka Web, or The Web of Life, the symbolic connection of all things to each other. In this aspect, the star at the center is the spider/shaman, or the individual who is aware of being the weaver of his or her own life, a dreamweaver.
In another aspect, the eight lines represent "mana", or spiritual power, because another meaning of "mana" is "branching lines" and the number eight in Hawaiian tradition is symbolic of great power. The four circles represent "aloha", or love, because the "lei" or garland, a symbol of love, is circular and is used figuratively in Hawaiian to mean a circle (as in "Hanalei - Circular bay"), and because the word "ha" is a part of the word "aloha" and also means "life" and the number four. Together the circles and lines represent the harmony of Love and Power as an ideal to develop.
The star pattern is composed of a dot in the center representing the Aumakua, or Higher Self; a ring representing Lono, or the Mental Self; the seven limbs of the star representing the Seven Principles of Huna; and the ring around the star representing Ku, the Physical or Subconscious Self. One point of the star is always down, aligned with a straight line of the web, representing the connection of the inner with the outer.”
