What is the Hakomi method?
Hakomi may sound Japanese to you. However, Hakomi is a Hopi Native American word that means “Who am I in relation to these realms?” or simply “How do you relate to the world?”.
It is a gentle and respectful method of personal growth that combines the spiritual traditions of Taoism and Buddhism with Western psychology and new contributions from neuroscience.
One of the objectives of the method is to reduce unnecessary suffering. It is based on the idea that ‘being aware gives you the opportunity to choose’. In other words, our habitual behaviour is guided by beliefs, attitudes and past experiences that are largely obsolete and unconscious. It is as if we were on autopilot through life. By observing beliefs through experiences offered during a Hakomi session, we understand how we relate to others and to the world. It gives us the opportunity to choose a happier and healthier life.
The method was developed by Ron Kurtz, an American psychotherapist and researcher who defines it as “a method of body psychotherapy based on the use of mindfulness, non-violence and loving presence”.
How is Hakomi done?
In a Hakomi session, we do not have long speculative conversations about our life story, but rather we look at how our life story is expressed here and now, in our behaviour, gestures, facial expressions, bodily tensions, breathing, etc.
Body language invites us to connect with our unconscious inner world and access old experiences and ideas that want to be revisited in order to give us a new freedom to relate and experience ourselves in the world in a different way.
During a session, we do exercises and small experiments that bring limiting ideas and beliefs to consciousness, helping us to get to know ourselves better and become better people.
The aim is to identify each person’s resources so that they can heal themselves.
What makes Hakomi special is our attitude as “therapists”, how we support people who are self-studying with full attention and respect (we call this “loving presence”).
In many ways, Hakomi can be a way of relating to the world and to people, or a way of living.
Training
You have the opportunity to become certified as an expert in the method and thus be able to officially help others live more fully.
As it is a method that depends on the attitude of the “therapist”, it requires time and practice. Depending on your own mental and emotional state and your commitment, it may take more or less time to become certified. There is a minimum number of days that you have to complete, similar to a driving licence.
This is 45 days over a minimum of 3 years. You can take the exam to become an official practitioner of the Hakomi Education Network, of which we are a part.
