Dahn Yoga Chest Tapping Exercise
By Michela | September 28, 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 many Americans, it is a very traditional technique in Korea, where Dahn Yoga originated. I too thought it was a little odd at first, but now tapping my body is a great relief from any tension, stress, or emotion I’m holding in it. I wouldn’t want to imagine life without it.
Tapping your chest specifically is one simple way of opening your heart chakra. The best way to do it is to deeply focus on the center of your chest where your heart chakra is while you tap the same spot on the outside. Feel the vibrations the tapping makes inside your chest and breathe out any tension or stuffiness inside.
You can also use your voice to make vibrations in your chest. If you make an “ah” sound while focusing on the center of your chest, you will feel that area of your body becoming lighter and freer. If you add tapping to your vocalizations, you will have twice the punch. (This technique, in fact, is a form of Brain Wave Vibration.)
I am often amazed, as I continue to practice how effective very simple techniques are. What are your experiences with chest tapping?
