Change

By DoSaNim | October 18, 2007

The only true constant is change. Through the Dahn Hak practice we learn the value of accumulating and moving energy with awareness so as not to become swamped by the ups and downs that each day inevitably goes through.

Energy generally flows in waves so consequently there are peaks and valleys to its force. The difference in the crests and troughs is the ride the unknowing person witnesses as daily life. Sometimes those waves are long and slow rolls. Sometimes the surface is choppy and the ups and downs are abrupt. As humanity continues to develop the amplitude and frequency increase and a malstrom ensues; the orderly chaos of the universe becomes more apparent and more difficult to overcome. This would be the rise in mental disorders, stemming from the stress of an ever increasing demand to do more quicker with less.

Dahn Hak Practice focuses on an integration of the brain and body drawing on the wisdom of the ancient Far East and combining it with the Western advanced knowledge. At our local Dahn center we learn how to meditate in a world that is only just barely learning the value of a meditative practice. As Western medicine continues to advance it finds more and more reasons to refer patients to the age old practice of Breathing and Relaxation. Center the mind and body. Restore your innate ability to take control of your life.

No longer do you have to be a lost person adrift in a sea of changing energy. This is our Universe and this is your life. Be an animal of the sea and move with fluidity through the constant change with disregaurd for the nature of the surface. Life is deeper and more mysterious than any of us can see from a boat or the shore.

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.
