In this Reiki Blog Companion episode, we explore the fascinating concept of Hara, derived from an online class on Japanese Reiki taught by Bronwen Logan, who has 25 years of experience in traditional Japanese Reiki.
We delve into the significance of Hara as the home of personal power, balance, and deep knowing, located two inches below the navel. This discussion bridges the gap between traditional Eastern practices like Tai Chi and Qigong, and modern understandings, pondering whether this concept is symbolic or has a physiological basis.
We highlight how the class integrates breathwork and meditation to help individuals experience and cultivate their own Hara, offering a practical guide to tapping into inner strength and resilience.
Suitable for both beginners and seasoned practitioners, this episode emphasizes that true power lies within us, waiting to be rediscovered. Join us as we unpack how connecting with our Hara can transform our approach to life, enhancing our groundedness, resilience, and authenticity.
