You're alive!: Most likely, it is either your breathing causing your naval to be moving, or as well it could be your abdominal aortic pulse. Which is the largest artery in our body and can often be seen to "pulse" through the abd wall, especially in thin people. Relatively normal. Hope this helps!

Umbilical Hernia: It sure sounds like an umbilical hernia. Please consult your family physician.
