Sylvie Doré nous propose un enseignement unique où ses connaissances, jumelées à de nombreux exercices concrets, résultent en un ouvrage pratique, facile à comprendre et fort utile. Après un bref historique sur le Huna, l'auteure explique la respiration HA et son apport dans la création et la projection de l'énergie MANA. Puis, elle s'attarde au concept de l'identité de Soi en présentant les trois plans de conscience de l'être humain : le subconscient, le conscient et le supraconscient. À partir de ces explications, vous apprendrez comment formuler une requête et l'acheminer au supraconscient afin d'en manifester le résultat. Enfin, l'auteure explique de façon claire la méthode de nettoyage des mémoires, Hooponopono, et donne de nombreux exemples et exercices pour son utilisation. Spécialiste québécoise de Huna, Sylvie Doré a été à même de vérifier à maintes reprises la puissance de cet outil dans sa vie.
