Lozen Posted June 16, 2005 Does anybody know any good excercises for strengthening or working with the hara? Or the 2nd chakra... Or the kidney meridian (i think?) or whatever you want to call it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda Posted June 16, 2005 I saw a great one the other day on Cam's discussion--hold a bowling ball in front of the ltt. I tried it with a kettlebell, but it was too heavy. I'm thinking that a large, moderately hefty ball would be perfect. I've seen medicine balls for sale recently, maybe I'll try it. Looks like a great drill! -Yoda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter falk Posted June 16, 2005 And I've got a bunch of really sharp knives. 4608[/snapback] hahhahaha! looks like that warrior trainin is paying off! you can hit or massage the kidney one point (bubbling spring) on the ball of the foot with a sockful of mung beans, and work with the kidney shen. or you can spend the cash for chia's special steel wire iron shirt hitting stick.

Lozen Posted June 16, 2005 thanks! so is the hara part of the kidney meridian? you can hit or massage the kidney one point (bubbling spring) on the ball of the foot with a sockful of mung beans, and work with the kidney shen. or you can spend the cash for chia's special steel wire iron shirt hitting stick. 4609[/snapback] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lozen Posted June 16, 2005 The hara is the soft underbelly in animals, and in humans it's...what is it, 2 inches below the naval? My issues are with the sides of it, the right and left side but my actual belly is okay. I know it is around all different meridians but I have this feeling my issue is only with kidney, but I guess I'll work with it and see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sware that it's just ONE problem though. My acupuncturist a long time ago concurred though he wasn't sure what organ it was, but told me to massage my hara every night. and I haven't been doing that.

Lozen Posted June 17, 2005 Oh yeah the reason I think it's just one problem is cos my problem spot moves. So I'll work on one area, and then it'll move to another, and then back, and on and on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandTrinity Posted June 17, 2005 What I like to do is shake. Shake from your center. Then you can feel where in the hara is aching. Then you can massage that particular spot. To relaz the hara, try yoga. Keep massaging it. Breathing deep. connect it with your heart and third eye. Chi Nei Tsang is very important, open the wind gates.
