Core Being

Tan Tien

Phyically, the CORE is located approximately two and one half inches below the naval, in alignment with the tan tien.

CORE represents the central core of our being. It is the level of our inner source, a place of divinity within ourselves. Healer, Barbara Brennan teaches that it is from our core that all creativity arises. Healing terms connected to core are "The Core Star", "tan tien", and "hara line." It is at the haric level that one can find the level of your intention, your purpose.

Another approach of healing, Core Energetics, invites a deeper experience and identification with one's core energy and feelings, releasing the individual to create his or her life from this personal yet universal center. This is achieved gradually by bringing consciousness, movement and, ultimately, transformation to the core's overlying defensive structures.
