Work that I've been doing within my own healing journey has been focused on the lower belly area over the last couple of weeks. In traditional Chinese medicine this area of the body is known as the lower dantian and is the original source of qi energy. It is a physical foundation within the body - or centre of gravity - that supports us. This area of the body was very active through the first part of our session today. Later there was a distinctive sensation within the head - like an echo but with a scraping sensation. Despite how that might sound it wasn't uncomfortable at all and felt like an opening - perhaps like an ancient carved door being slowly pried open after hundreds of years of being sealed shut. A few minutes later that energy drifted away on a breeze, leaving access to a new area of discovery to be explored.
