Miwi is the Australian Aboriginal term for "power" or, in LP nomenclature, Force.[1]

Syncretic Terms

Force > Imagination, Mana, Miwi, Nu Shug, Orenda, Perspective, Prana, Wakan, Will, Yang, Zaki

Notes

"Not surprisingly, this miwi or “power” is said to be present in all persons, though especially developed only by a few. It is said to be located in the pit of the stomach, which must be considered as a generalized symbolic location similar to the base of the spine as referred to in Kundalini yoga."[2] In Aboriginal shamanic practice, this miwi is associated with serpents.
