What is Hakomi?

 

What is Hakomi?

A mindfulness-based, body-oriented approach that uses body awareness to reveal unconscious patterns. “Hakomi” means “who you are”—the focus is on exploring the self and transforming inner beliefs.

Where does Hakomi come from?

Developed by Ron Kurtz in the 1970s. It combines mindfulness, modern psychology, bodywork, and systemic thinking.

How does Hakomi work?

Through slowing down and a curious, nonjudgmental awareness. For example, with questions like: “What happens inside me when I allow this thought to arise?”

When is Hakomi helpful?

For recurring patterns, inner blockages, conflicts, or when you feel disconnected from your own values.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Think. Pause. Amplify.

Purpose

Your purpose gives direction. It guides decisions and actions and gives meaning to experiences.

Values

There is often a gap between what we call values and what we actually live by. Congruence arises when values and actions move closer together again.

Achievements

Successes make progress visible. They nurture self-confidence, energy and a sense of effectiveness.

Relationships

Our relationships, both personal and professional, influence our well-being and opportunities more than we often realise.

Learning

Nature knows no middle ground. Everything moves towards growth or retreat. Development does not just happen – we decide to pursue it.

The 7 Pillars of Resilience

Optimism

does not mean, ‘Everything is fine.’ It means, ‘I choose what to focus on.’

Acceptance

does not mean giving up. It means: I am going to stop fighting reality.

Solution orientation

does not mean taking action for the sake of it. It means seeing the next possible step.

Self-efficacy

does not arise from motivation. It arises from small successes of one’s own.

Networking

is not a weakness. It is a human resource.

Being future-oriented

does not mean ‘planning’. It means regaining the ability to act.

Taking responsibility

does not mean looking for someone to blame. It means recognising my part in it and thereby regaining control.
