Hakomi is a type of therapy that was initially developed by Ron Kurtz and his associates in the 1970's in the USA and continues to evolve. The word itself is a Hopi Indian word meaning "where do I stand in relation to all these realms". It is a body-centred psychotherapy which means that the emphasis is on how our experience and our emotions get stored in the body and can be accessed extremely effectively by focusing on physical sensations. Hakomi emphasises self-study because self-awareness is the most potent healing force there is. It is a particularly gentle and respectful kind of psychotherapy and it relies on 5 principles: Mindfulness, Organicity, Mind-Body Holism, Non-Violence and Unity.
