Meditazione dell'Hara
Oggi ti propongo la meditazione dell'Hara. Nelle tradizioni asiatiche l’hara è il punto situato circa due centimetri sotto l’ombelico, è il centro di contatto fra corpo e anima ed è importante connettersi con questo punto energetico perché ti rende possibile l’osservazione delle sensazioni del corpo, delle emozioni che ti attraversano e dei pensieri che insorgono, senza che nessuna di queste tre cose ti porti via. E’ quel punto in cui ci ti senti al sicuro, un luogo dove nessuno può entrare e dove ti senti a casa.
