Hara Technique: Pumping Up the Hara

This technique is very good for bringing energy to the lower hara. This area becomes weak from excessive sitting, poor diet, lack of walking, and lack of other leg movements. Lower hara weakness will cause poor elimination, organ stagnation, and stiffness in the hips, and will also contribute to sexual and urinary weakness.

Using this pumping technique creates powerful stimulation in the body. Because it increases circulation and chi in such a strong way, do not use it under the following conditions:

• • pregnancy
• • heavy menstrual bleeding
• • Crone's disease or diverticulitis
