English term or phrase: hara
Buenos días:

Traduzco un texto sobre el shiatsu y otras terapias holísticas y aparece el término "hara":

"3) hara diagnosis:
Abdominal palpation; on the abdominal area all organs are represented. A soft palpation can determine which organ, represented by its meridian, needs more attention."

¿Alguna sugerencia?

Spanish translation:hara/ diagnóstico del hara/ abdomen/ centro vital
Explanation:
Parece razonable traducir "hara diagnosis" como "diagnóstico del hara". El traductor debe tomar en cuenta que si bien el hara se localiza en una parte del cuerpo (abdomen), el término hara tiene una connotación que excede ese espacio físico, significando "centro vital", "centro de gravedad", etc., por la cantidad de órganos que allí se ubican y la importancia que su diagnóstico tiene para la ciencia del shiatsu.

Literalmente podría tratarse "hara" como "abdomen"; en el contexto, sin embargo, debería mantenerse "hara" y más específicamente la expresión "diagnóstico del hara" para designar "hara diagnosis".

  -> Gracias lugoben.
agree  Charles Davis: OK, Hara = Hara (diagnóstico de Hara), but Shiatsu is not acupuncture; it's based on finger massage, though the theory behind it is related. Hara means centre of being or centre of energy, I believe (cf. hara kiri).
