What is hara?

Hara is a Japanese word.  Anatomically, it refers to the abdomen, but it means much more than that.  It’s the core of a person, not only physically, but also energetically.  It is a reflection of our mind, body and spirit.

Each individual is seen as a microcosm of the universe, and the hara is seen as a microcosm of a person's whole life. When you strengthen hara, you’re shifting your whole being towards wholeness, vitality, and balance. For the bodywork practitioner, treatment of the hara (ampuku) often presents the greatest opportunity for transformation of the client’s well being.

Healthy Hara, Healthy Holidays

Often during the holidays there is an abundance of excitement and love, but it can come along with lots of food, drink, anxiety and stress. This can lead to digestive issues not only physically, but also at the emotional and mental levels. One of the best options to stay well is to do hara treatment. Whether it’s for yourself, clients, family or friends, hara massage is a wonderful way to get strong and clear.

At the basic physical level, hara treatment has many positive effects in the body including better circulation, digestion, absorption, and oxygenation. Blood quality improves. Hormonal function steps up, reproductive organs awaken and sexual energy receives a boost. The flow of Conception Vessel, the meridian that energizes our ability to materialize our thoughts and dreams, is increased. The physical and energetic benefits are tremendous!
