LATE!!

By DoSaNim | November 1, 2007

I woke up this morning late! I had set the wrong alarm. My first thought was “hhmm well thats nice.” as I swung the covers off and let my feet touch the ground. I picked up my pants and put on a fresh T-shirt. “No time for a shower or the rest of the morning routine” I thought. I put on my jacket and stepped out the door into the cool damp autumn air inhaling deep the scent of the leaves and wet asphalt. I walked with a quick pace but an easy mind. Today for whatever reason I am behind and it just is. Later I will catch up but for now I am here and all is well in this pre-dawn moment.

The ability to achieve this calm moment amidst what could be an otherwise racing calmity is brought to you by Dahn Hak Yoga and Brain Respiration.

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.
