Detour

By laughingbelly | October 16, 2007

A few days ago, due to a major car accident report I had heard before I took a highway, I chose to take detour via local service road. As I was driving the road, I could see the highway, where the traffic was moving well still. I passed several exits and wondered if I had made a right choice. Because I planned too far ahead and worried too much in advance, I spent more time by taking a local road. I could have spent less time by taking risk of stuck in traffic. I could have listened to my gut feeling of taking the highway when my energy center in my belly was telling me. I knew the feeling of making a correct choice in my body as I had developed through my Dahn Yoga practice. I could have applied the sense of knowing to a simple situation of taking a road.
What a great lesson I’ve learned. This experience exactly reflexes my life. Be aware potential difficulties, but move forward with some risks anyway. Only then can I grow through the challenges.

Dahn Yoga Tip 1

One of the most simple and effective concepts in Dahn Yoga is the idea of "breath." All living beings breathe. It is necessary for survival on this planet. However, it is taken for granted by most people. Few people pay attention to their breathing. But the quality of the breath has great implications for the health of our mind and body.

Whether people pay attention to their breath or choose to ignore it, they will continue to inhale and exhale. Through the experiential understanding of the breath achieved in Dahn training, the connection between mind-body communication and breath becomes more apparent

Dahn Yoga Tip 2

Breath also dramatically demonstrates the interconnectedness between people. The air and energy that one person breathes in is also the same air and energy other people have just breathed in and out. Awareness that everyone shares the same air cultivates the understanding that all living things are interconnected, not only through the breath but on many levels. Ultimately, this understanding helps develop more caring, open-hearted individuals and in turn creates a more harmonious world.
