The [[Hara Center]] is the center of the etheric or chi body, it is a ball of energy that directly connects to the earth. It is about an inch in diameter and is the gateway into the ocean of chi. Around the Hara and with it as the center there is an envelope of energy called the ‘tan tien’ or Dantien. This [[Dan Tien]] is a ball of etheric energy about the size of a soccer ball. It is filled from the Hara and is often called ‘the cauldron’ in Taoist alchemical texts. This ball of energy interacts with all the organs and especially the intestines as it is where food is turned into energy. Energy is taken from the food and mixed in the tan tien or cauldron before being distributed throughout the body. Having the Hara open and a full tan tien or [[Dan Tien]] is vital for real health and vitality. Unfortunately most people have many ancestral miasmas (Samskaras) and energetic blockages in this area and the fullness that should be felt in the dan tien is absent. This is the main cause of many addictions especially to food. Constantly eating and overeating are an attempt to feel full despite a blocked Hara and empty [[Dan Tien]]. | The [[Hara Center]] is the center of the etheric or chi body, it is a ball of energy that directly connects to the earth.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Dantians are three powerful energy centers where energy is gathered, stored, and transformed into life energy in the body. Each Dantian has a different energy which serves a different purpose even though they are connected as a single concept. These centers have been referenced in ES clearing meditations. | According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Dantians are three powerful energy centers where energy is gathered, stored, and transformed into life energy in the body.
