Lately it seems that every one I know is in this boat with me. The waves are crashing over the bow and the wind is blowing to hard for the sails be of any use. It’s time to buckle into the practice. We create our life through what we feel is true. When life is crashing it’s our ego and true-self battling. Without the feel of destruction we wouldn’t call it the battle it would just be the debate. We endure a battle because it means death to the loser. Our mind tosses about like a boat in the wind and waves of the this torrent. At this point it is imperative that drop into our practice with the last bit of energy we have. Pushing ourselves to the center for an easy stretching routine can be the real difference between falling back into old habits and creating a new habit of being able watch who we really are without attachment or judgment of who that is. The Dahn Hak Yoga Center is a place of sanctuary. When I can release my attachment to judging myself here in the few moments of Ji-Gam I have to clearest window of opportunity to increase my dynamic for becoming the person I want to be.

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.
