Upcoming Healing Chakra training in NY
By laughingbelly | November 9, 2007
You might have heard of chakra somewhere. A chakra means a wheel in Sanskrit word.
In human’s body, there are seven chakras, energy centers through the spinal column. We can grow ourselves through developing and healing chakras. Amazingly even savvy yoga practitioners are not familiar with deep meanings of chakra. A map of human completion through activating all seven chakras will be taught experientially this Saturday, November 10. The location is Hofstra University in East Meadow, Long Island, NY. There were two pre-training sessions at most Dahn Yoga centers and will be two additional ones after the main training. I am so excited that a trainer of this precious Healing Chakra, Senior Master ByukWoon (Thunder & Clouds) is coming to NY. I will share details of the training later. If you miss a chance this time, you can prepare yourself for the next year training with Healing Chakra, a set of a book and CD.

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.

Steer Clear of Sickness
By DoSaNim | November 6, 2007
AAAHhhh yes its Fall. The beautiful colors and rich smells of wood burning, wet leaves, and crisp mornings, its the Harold of cold season. Like so many of our sayings there is a reason we call “the bug” a cold. Our body’s energy has turned cold and stagnant leaving us susceptible to the damp cold air energy filling our body. The point to pay close attention to is the Pune-Moon, located below the Ah-Moon at the base of the nape of the neck. This area we already are innately tuned to - how often do you flip your collar or your hood up and pull it tight to your neck to keep the draft out? Keep it up. In addition heat up a hot pack and keep it on your neck to keep the Pune-Moon acupressure point warm while you’re outside or between exercise sessions. Conversely keep the Dahn Jon hot also with a hot pack / intestinal exercise. The reason Hang-Gong position 4 is beneficial is through its design to open the neck pressure points, stretching and activating the bladder meridian that runs from head to toe along the spine and back of legs. The intestinal exercise will keep the blood flowing around the body - 70% of our blood is used for our 12 major organs in our trunk area, the biggest consumer is our intestines. Promoting fresh blood supply to the abs also renews the digestive abilities increasing the body’s full digestion of the good earth energy you’ve ingested. Drinking ginger tea (usually I add lemon for vitamin C and flavor, and for the real tough “bugs” I’ll add garlic to the tea), for increasing the vitality of the immune system and digestive track. Keep your energy circulating - once an hour take just a few minutes to listen to your body, paying attention to areas of tension. If you consistently open blocked joints and meridians it will only take a few minutes each hour to stay healthy and strong with fresh energy.
P.S. Check out the Meridian Exercise for Self-Healing Book I pg. 90 for more help.

Exercises against cold
By laughingbelly | November 1, 2007
For 2 days now I have been feeling as if I’m getting a cold. My throat feels sore, and my nose starts running a little. Are there any good exercises from Dahn Yogathat are good against cold? I feel when I do toe-tapping, my nose and my head get a bit clearer. Also breathing postures to strengthen my Dahn-Jon help me a bit. Especially an energy circulation posture with my legs are above my head, I feel releasing stuffiness from my head and chest area. It feels really good. I totally believe in self-healing. I’m sure by doing these exercises every day, I can heal the cold in just 2-3 more days. Yes!!!!

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.

Energy of Now
By DoSaNim | October 31, 2007
I teach a fair amount of classes for the Dahn Yoga center. Some people are amazed that I teach a few times a day sometimes as many as four on some occasions. Honestly this is nothing. If you check it by comparison to most school teachers it is hardly even their morning routine. Compared to Korean masters in training it is a far cry from the daily routine. Here in the states….the praise is nice and encouraging but the greatest thing about teaching classes is the energy I receive and accumulate and redirect. There are few things more awe - inspiring then to feel the entanglement of a bad mood, pushing it to the side for a class and through the exersices releasing the negative energy and refilling my body with fresh chunjikiun. And the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae is to see the faces of the members light up as the day is shaken and squeezed out of their body. The Ji-Gam is the most exciting as people’s posture is the biggest give-away to their state of being and through the energy moving the become lighter. At the end of class I think to myself “aaahh now I feel better”
Peace and Empowerment

Here Now
By laughingbelly | October 28, 2007
I recalled some of my happiest memories of my childhood when I saw more than a dozen playful puppies in pens yesterday. Small children and animals live in the moment. No past, no future, and no worries. We need to re-learn how to stay in the present moment, living fully. Dahn Yoga has helped me greatly how to be here and now while focusing on my vision, my life purpose. Believe me,it’s easier said than done. The more I practice, it gets easier though. I am able to be aware of my body, mind, soul more than ever before through body & breath, energy work, and meditation. Empowering my self and people helps me move forward. We can create better, more peaceful world without wasting our energies by being dragged by past or future. Are we here now?

Empower
By DoSaNim | October 27, 2007
Last night for our YEHA event we watched the 3rd Matrix, Revolution. One of the members was wondering ultimately what was the connection and point of watching the action flick. The first movie can be paraphrased to Initial Awakening, the second, choice/free will vs. fate/destiny, and the 3rd, consiquence. We all have to make choices and live with the consiquences this is why awakening to the awarness of the larger world and universe about us is crucial. Because in a sense nothing matters but to not choose is to choose complacency. Something will always happen. As the pinnacles of evolution on the known planet it is an honor to awaken our conciouseness to Brain Respiration. And to fully utilize the organ beyond its known capacity to actually create the lives of love, peace, health, and happiness we all want. Through Brain Integration we can see the true meaning of the choices presented to us and the unopinionated value in the consiquences.

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!

HEALER
I love being a healer! When I was little I wanted to be a pediatric polminologist - children’s lung doctor, because I grew up having asthma. Now at the Dahn Yoga Center to be able to help people using thousands of years old techniques to balance their energy for healing!! I’m excited. I really love that my day consists of taking care of people in a proactive form. Western medicine and technology are dynamic and when combined with the natural, the healing process is something I didn’t know if we’d ever see but I had always hoped would exist. It makes so much sense in my mind for a healthier world and I’m so happy to be a part of a frontier combining wisdoms into a new standard of living for health peace and happiness in a logical progressive way. I picked up the Principles of Brain Management by Dr. Ilchi Lee, fascinating of course. I can’t wait to finish it and then pass the book on to my family for their development. Peace and Empowerment.
