Centering on Hara

Jap. Hara  (stomach, belly) /  Chin. Dantian 丹田 (elixir field)


From Wiki:

Hara diagnosis

In eastern medicine the Hara is seen as an area that reflects the state of all the organs, their energetic as well as their physical state, and their complex functional relationships with each other.

In diagnosis and treatment, the Hara is partitioned in areas, each of which is considered - on the basis of empirical evidence - to represent one of the (ten, eleven or twelve) vital organs AND their functional energy fields.

The Japanese medical tradition on the other hand, which has always had strong leanings towards massage, has shown great continuity in its preference for the use of diagnostic palpation (massage) in a much more general way than the Chinese tradition as we know it.


Hara in Eastern and Western body-mind therapies

Apart from acupuncture, which is best known in the West, a number of other Eastern therapies explicitly focus on the Hara in their work, amongst them Anma, Ampuku,[16] Shiatsu[17] and QiGong.[18] However, an ever growing number of body-mind therapies are being introduced to or developed in the West, which seem to be influenced by concepts directly or indirectly derived from or related to Eastern models of abdominal diagnosis and therapy, some using breathing techniques (Buteyko, Yoga), postural alignment and movement education like Postural Integration, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, Qigong and Yoga, or manual manipulation like Osteopathy, Shiatsu and massage. All aiming, it can be said, to relax, strengthen and support in their function the internal organs and tissues in, above and below the peritoneal cavity - in other words: the abdomen or Hara, with a view on holistic healing. In Osteopathy for example, an important part of abdominal work is the stimulation of venuos circulation and the drainage of lymph,[19] another the re-alignment of the organs.[20]
