These key energetic spaces in the body: the Tan Tien, the Soul Seat and the Individuation Points Are important to know as you start working with Hara.
The Tan Tien, pronounced ‘dahn tee-en’, is a deep energetic space in your belly, located about three finger widths below your belly button. This deep place is sometimes also called the ‘second sacral.’ In martial arts, the Tan Tien is a place of balance and strength at the center of our being. When you connect to your Tan Tien, you may visualize this space as golden ball, a golden egg of light, or a flame.
The Soul Seat is a located two-thirds of the way up your sternum. Also called the ‘Seat of the Soul’s Longing’ or the ‘High Heart’, it is the center where we can understand our purpose in life.
The Individuation Point, or ‘I.D. Point’ is where we individuate from but do not separate from creative source or universal energy. This point is located above your crown chakra at the edge of your energy field.
