Belly

In the abdomen is the body’s center of gravity. The Chinese also call it dantian, the Japanese talk about Hara. They work from the belly. From that focus, you stand firm. This gives balance. Are you out of your center – your belly – then you fall over quickly. Therefore, in oriental martial arts, you also make the movements from your abdomen, which increases your chances of winning. But also in your daily life, when you are walking, working or doing chores, it is a great exercise to do this from your belly. This gives firmness, balance, strength and confidence.

Belly Emotions

Many emotions you feel in your gut. Think of falling in love when you have butterflies in your stomach. Similarly, you may feel a stone on your stomach when you experience a problem for which you have no solution at the moment. Tension, nerves, an indefinable feeling, and so on: you often feel it first in your gut. The English have a nice word for this: gut-feeling.

Symbol abdomen

The belly represents your safety. For example, you store fat in the belly to feel safe. Belly fat provides protection from the emotions of others. It stands for, “I need protection between me and the other person or a situation.

The belly, of course, also represents pregnancy; a woman feels complete. Fat in the belly then means, “I give security to my child.

From safety, you can produce the hormone serotonin, the happiness hormone.

Belly Fat

For example, after the conflict strike “I’m too fat,” you get cellular decline of fat cells. Besides, you are not hungry in the conflict active phase, so you lose weight. Fat tissue falls under new mesoderm, after dissolution you get more cells than before. Suppose you have lost weight and you receive a compliment, this is the solution. Subsequently, more fat cells appear than before. This is also known as the yo-yo effect.

Abdomen – Abdomen inflammation

An attack to the abdomen, for example in a fight, an insult or surgery can also be a conflict strike. After this impact, more cells are added first to protect you from the attack. Once the danger has passed, there comes the resolution phase with an inflammatory environment at the site of conflict, peritoneum. The cells decline again. We call this peritonitis, peritonitis. Abdomen belongs to old-mesoderm germ sheet.

Abdominal fluid – Ascites

Fluid in the abdomen (ascites) is also recovery from an attack against the abdomen, the peritoneum, along with conflict active mother-soul-only conflict (MZA). The extra fluid from MZA goes to the site of recovery, peritoneum. As a result, ascites develops.

Chris’s story

Chris (28) regularly runs hard to train her belly off, but to no avail. She works with young horses and she wants to be able to act quickly. To her mind, her belly is really in the way. When I look at Chris, I see a beautiful woman, her belly does not catch my eye. She gets the explanation from her subconscious: “My belly creates extra fat to protect me. She connects with her belly, connecting-melting-letting go. She becomes aware that har belly protects her, provides safety between her and the world. She needs this now. She breathes to her belly. That one feels unsafe and imperfect. She feels “yes but. Chris connects with her resistance. She makes a connection between her and her daughter (7) who resists school and the school system. Her daughter tells a story with this. Mother feels this resistance in her belly. She continues to connect with this. Suddenly she feels peace in her belly. Action for Chris: continue to connect with the peace you feel now. Keep connecting with the body’s message: safety.
