The subconscious mind [Unihipili]
Unihipili (Oo-nee-hee-PEE-lee) is the Hawaiian name for the subconscious mind, the emotional mind, or the inner child. It is often referred to as the Little Sister or Little Brother Self. We call it the Basic Self. The Unihipili is one of your three selves and resides with the Uhane in the body. It is a wondrous and very gifted part of each human being. Although the emotional age of the Basic Self is between 3-6 years of age, with 6 being a highly evolved person, most of us are still at the 3 year old stage.
Unihipili is intertwined in the body [Kino] with Conscious Self [Uhane]. It is the caretaker of the body and never sleeps. It is our librarian and remembers in holographic form, including smells and feelings, everything that happens to us from before we are born. It stores these memories with other similar memories. The kahuna used the symbol of a cluster of berries to illustrate how these memories are stored together. Memories are not stored in the brain. They are stored in every cell in your body.
Unihipili is your extra-sensory self. It has the ability to reach out and gather information on a different level from your five senses. Some people call this intuition. It’s the ability to know something without knowing how you know it. You simply know it. Everyone has this ability because everyone has a Basic Self. Growing up in our Western society, we are taught to disregard the information coming to the conscious mind from the subconscious mind. Huna students realize the importance of this information and make a concentrated effort to learn how to listen to the Basic Self when it is communicating this important information to us.
Unihipili collects to make good decisions for our life. An example of this is when we continue to pursue a direction with a gut feeling that it is wrong and finding out that indeed it is wrong for us. This happens quite often in relationships with other people. We really want to go out with this person because he or she is popular or handsome/beautiful, only to find out that we have nothing in common and are uncomfortable being around them, something our Basic Self was trying to tell us all along.
Unihipili is our Best Friend. No one is closer to us than our delightful Basic Self [Unihipili]. It is important to remember that our Basic Self is the part of us that feels. Whenever you are feeling anything, you are coming from the perspective of your Basic Self. It is important not to judge the feelings, but to acknowledge them. The trick is not to let them run away with the body. Feel the emotions, acknowledge them, but wait until you can discuss them internally before you take action. Remember the Basic Self is only 3 years old and needs guidance and love.
Unihipili has direct connection to Higher Self [Aumakua]. You can’t get to the Divine Force through your mind, only through your heart. If you and your Basic Self are at odds with one another, your Basic Self will not send your prayers and therefore your prayers will not be answered and you will not receive the important Divine guidance you need.
It is a great adventure to learn about Unihipili and see the miracles that happen in your life when your Three Selves are in alignment and working together.
