The Way of Hado

Hado is the life energy vibration that is present in all things, animate and inanimate.

When you walk through a Japanese garden, you can truly feel the life force energy that is known as hado. Hado isn’t just present in Japan, but it is a concept that has existed in Japan for centuries. The two Japanese characters that make up the word hado mean “wave” and “move” — perfect words to describe the energy vibrations that permeate all life. Hado is present in all things, animate and inanimate. It resides everywhere, even in the air and in people.  

The study of hado tells us that the energetic vibrations from our thoughts affect our physical realities. Each of us has the ability to manifest a specific intention through the hado that we send out. However, we are often unaware that our thoughts are creating vibrations in the world outside our minds. Once we know that this is the case, we can become more aware of our negative thinking and train ourselves to stay positive and think with intention.

Giving thanks for a meal before we eat can change the energy of our food. Expressing gratitude by thoughts or words makes a huge difference to both the giver and recipient because you are sending them hado. A kind smile really makes a difference when you work consciously with hado. Once we begin to know this power, we can create positive changes in every area of our lives: our physical space, mental and emotional health, relationships, and businesses. One of the most important principles is to monitor your thoughts and intentions every day. When you consciously work with hado, you can bring more joy to your life and the world around you.
