• Dahn Yoga tip: Focus on Yourself

    Without a goal, we have no choice but to endlessly chase after the thoughts of others. We envy those who know more or have more than we do, and we live out our lives completely forgetting our own brains. Such things happen to us often unless we are focused on ourselves. - Dahn Yoga

    Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

    September 30, 2008 is International Passion Day (according to Janet and Chris Attwood, authors of the book The Passion Test)–a day to take at least one action to follow your passion and begin fulfilling your life’s purpose.
    But how do you know what your passion is?
    The best thing I ever did to help me find my […]

    I have posted about Brain Wave Vibration many times on this blog, and now I am happy to announce the birth of the new Brain Wave Vibration website: www.brainwavevibration.com.
    The Brain Wave Vibration website has been open for over a month now, but we have revamped the site so that it has more multimedia and so […]

    Dahn Yoga Chest Tapping Exercise

    Sunday, September 28th, 2008

    One chest exercise I am familiar with that is performed often in a regular Dahn Yoga class is chest tapping. Tapping your body with your palms, cupped hands, or fists is a great way to release energy blockages and allow the energy to move through the body’s meridian channels.
    Although tapping can often seem strange to […]

    Chest Expanding Exercise

    Saturday, September 27th, 2008

    Speaking of exercises that open your heart chakra, here is a chest expanding exercise I found in Ilchi Lee’s book, Meridian Exercise for Self-Healing: Classified by Common Symptoms. I looked there to see if there was a specific exercise it recommended, especially one I was unfamiliar with.
    According to the book, this exercise “promotes deep and […]

    Gratitude

    Friday, September 26th, 2008

    Part of a Dahn Yoga practice is getting the energy of your body moving, including the energy in the 7 internal energy centers of the body, often called chakras. There are 3 main chakras, also called dahn-jons in Korean, a lower, middle, and upper. In a regular class, you will often hear an instructor say […]

    It’s All in Your Feet

    Friday, September 19th, 2008

    I found this exercise at the Dahn Yoga Hawaii Member’s blog. I have done it many times, but seeing it there reminded me about how great it feels and how important your feet are.
    Many of you may have heard of reflexology and how many parts of your body can be affected by stimulating your feet. […]

    Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

    As a continuation of my last post, here are simple Dahn Yoga neck exercises for strengthening and releasing tension from your neck. Be sure to concentrate on your neck as you do the exercises.
    1. Place your hands on your waist. Move your head very slowly in a large circular motion, touching your chin to your […]

    Dahn Yoga Shoulder Exercises

    Monday, September 15th, 2008

    When I ask people what part of their body they feel like they hold the most tension, most answer their neck and shoulders. Long hours sitting in front of a computer or television, or behind a steering wheel, leads to poor posture and stiff, hunched shoulders.
    Here is the Asian medicine point of view of pain […]

    Ilchi Lee’s White Dragon

    Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

    I found this amazing poem inside the jacket of the “White Dragon” audio music CD by Arang Park. It is a beautiful reflection of the oneness we can all feel through a consistent Dahn Yoga practice. Dahn Yoga gives us the tools, but here is the inspiration:
    (Can you see the dragon in the picture?)
     
     
    White Dragon
