What is the Hara (Tanden) and How Does the Hara Connect to Other Spiritual Ideas

This podcast is about the Hara and aims to clear up a few misconceptions surrounding what the Hara is and now it connects to other spiritual ideas.

The first misconception is that the concept of the Hara (腹) which translates as abdomen is related to the stomach or is confused with the related organs in the abdomen. In Japanese, Hara has a much more board meaning in both the Japanese medical tradition and in Japanese Martial Arts and Zen traditions.

The word Hara is used as both a technical term for a specific area such as the abdomen, and also to mean mind or courage. It is resented by yin yang in a spiral swirl, and this spiral is considered to be a power center that generates Ki, and is also where vital Ki is stored. In both Japanese and Chinese culture the hara is thought of as the seat of vitality and power and in both Martial Arts and Qigong the emphasize is on "moving from the Hara"
