• 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

    Laughing Brain Wave Vibration, a.k.a, Happy Acupressure

    By Michela | November 8, 2008

    Ilchi Lee recently discovered an acupressure point that makes laughing easier. He describes it in his journal on www.ilchi.com. I think it’s pretty amazing for someone to be pressing points on his body and discovering a point that helps you laugh more easily. He says he’s

    “always experimenting with my own body, trying to uncover new ways to heal and grow, which is how I invented Brain Wave Vibration and Jang-saeng Walking.

    “This point is behind the ears and, like most acupressure points, is often painful when pressed. But if you focus on the sensation there after pressing it and then laugh, the laughter flows more easily from you.

    If you keep focusing there and let yourself be free, the laughter can turn into a form of Brain Wave Vibration. In fact, I’ve discovered this exercise has all of the benefits of Brain Wave Vibration, but on a much deeper level. Once you feel relaxed and happy from this exercise, you can smoothly transition into just moving your body as it wishes by letting it flow with its own internal energy [Dahn-mu].

    I believe that we are in charge of making ourselves happy.”

    And this exercise is one way to do it. I like how Ilchi Lee doesn’t just say, “Let’s all be happy,” but also keeps trying to find ways to accomplish this seemingly difficult task.

    This “happy acupressure point” is behind the ears at the bottom of the skull bones. There is a little dent. Press this point toward the front of your head instead of inward toward your neck. Ouch!

    Now laugh for no reason at all :)
