Dahn Yoga believes it can help more people by being a successful business and makes no apologies for its business side. There are various reasons as to why people may seek to meditate. Again one common reason is the fact that human beings are more than just the body. They are the mind, spirit or soil and body. Meditation therefore enables the three elements of the human being to unite and seeks to harmonise them. Meditation is therefore not limited to any particular religious grouping but to anyone who needs time off to connect their body, mind and soul.

There are however groups of people in the various religions who may be set apart to conduct meditation throughout their lifetime. In both the Buddhists and Christians, these are called monks or nuns. In Countries such as Ethiopia, monks have been known to stay in isolated places along the River Nile for the sole purpose of worship. They would not interact with the rest of the world and would even change their feeding habits.

You do not however have to move out of your apartment and stay along River Nile, but you can create a ritual point in your house or neighborhood from where the you can meditate.

Meditation brings with it certain character or emotions that make the practitioner a very powerful man or woman. When you often meditate, you learn to be calm and to wait. You will not be moved by life’s frustrations. The power or will required to overcome any challenge is even made greater by the fact that you learn to depend on the higher being. Such individuals who meditate regularly are humble yet full of faith. They can move mountains through this inner strength. This has been reported in humanity icons such as the late Mother Teresa.

Meditation is also associated with pilgrim visits. Most religions or meditation teams have with time identified isolated places from where they are able to go and find uninterrupted space. These sites are often secured and regular dates for visits are planned.

The time has come to mix the wisdom of East and West to really get the most out of life. Scientists have set the human life span at 120 years, yet few of us live even two-thirds of that in good health. The pharmaceuticals and medical technology we have are amazing, but to live life fully we must rediscover some of the old wisdom that connects us more intimately with our own bodies. Western medicine has many gifts to offer, but the old systems, based sometimes on hundreds of years of human experience, should not be dismissed out of hand.

I firmly believe that this is not the way it should be. A friend of mine, named Kwan-sik Min, is a good example of how I think we should live. Mr. Min, who served as a minister of education in Korea before his retirement, was the picture of good health to the day of his death at age eighty-nine.

And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease, no hungry mouths to feed. From a distance we are instruments marching in a common band.

Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace. They’re the songs of every man. God is watching us. God is watching us.

God is watching us from a distance. From a distance you look like my friend, even though we are at war. From a distance I just cannot comprehend what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony, and it echoes through the land. And it’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves. it’s the heart of every man. It’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves. This is the song of every man. And God is watching us, God is watching us. God is watching us from a distance. Oh, God is watching us, God is watching. God is watching us from a distance.

I enjoy my Dahn Yoga program because:
