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.

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.
