Family

By DoSaNim | October 26, 2007

I love my family. I relized shortly after I started at my Dahn Yoga center that I was going to have to get my family to join this practice. I believe everyone can benefit from Dahn Hak Yoga, as it is a practice of empowering individuals to take responsability for their own health, wellness, and holeness. I started with my mother who joined solely because she wanted to see me more and this is where I was most often. After nearly a year through her own experience she has become a spokeswoman for the outstanding benefits of Dahn Hak Yoga. Anyone and everyone she can tell her inspirational story to hears about the wonder of HSP. Today for the third time my family was gathered together while I guided them through the Do-In exersices. Of course after the stretching, Chung-Joong breathing, and Ji-Gam all of their faces were bright and lively. As we hugged good-bye I could feel a sense of lightness in my father’s hug where usually he has a heavy burdened feel and is leaning on a person for their energy.

Today has been one of the greatest days; not only did I witness my family healing themselves, but was an attributing factor to their growth and actualization towards holeness.

CHUN JI KI UN!

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.
