Japanese Abdominal Hara Massage, in Japan called Ampuku
Hara in Japanese stands for the abdominal region, the Hara is the location where you’ll find the Lower Dan Tien located below the navel considered the foundation of Standing, Breathing, Body awareness and it’s believed to aid control of Thoughts and Emotions.
“Hara is a word frequently used in both Japanese Traditional Medicine and in the Japanese Martial Arts”
One of my favourite techniques I use is Ampuku, or traditional Japanese abdominal acupressure, is a highly refined form of manual therapy, it’s bases of now known as Shiatsu. It allows openness to healing all the way back to our mother’s womb to the most recent imbalance, is the gentlest & potent Somatic work to be explored with permission of our bodies. Japanese healing arts the abdomen, or ‘Hara’, is seen as an important center of energy for the body therefore Hara work should be part of any successful bodywork practice. The Hara is the key to our physical body, as well as our mental. emotional, spiritual and energetic being. By unblocking your Hara, the organs function efficiently, the immune system rebuilds and the body and mind function as one. Balance is restored. This was emphasized by Shiatsu Master Shizuto Masunaga who saw Ampuku as a very important part of Shiatsu therefore has developed a diagnosis based on Ampuku: "abdominal mass can make all the difference.”
