• 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

    Healthy Body, Healthy Brain

    By Michela | July 13, 2009

    Unleash Your PotentialFrom Dahn Yoga founder Ilchi Lee’s book, Brain Wave Vibration: Getting Back into the Rhythm of a Happy, Healthy Life:

    “Just by moving your body, you will activate your brain in ways that sedentary behaviors, no matter how mentally rigorous, cannot. Why? Because all parts of your body are connected to your brain, and when you move, many diverse parts of your brain are stimulated simultaneously.The rhythmic vibrations and spontaneous movements can also help activate creativity and imagination as you are transported to a place beyond the rational mind.”

    Have you ever really thought about how your body’s movements affect your brain? Ilchi Lee always seems to be thinking about what impacts the brain and how the state of our brain impacts everything in our lives. To keep our brain in tip top shape, he’s found we need to keep our bodies in shape. We don’t necessarily need to be buff like body builders, but we do need to be aware and in tune with our body’s health.I’ve personally found that through energy circulating and accumulating exercises such as Dahn Yoga, I can avoid over-thinking a problem that I have (letting my brain run in circles), and move more easily into the feeling that’s necessary for me to create a desirable result. Solutions suddenly appear and seem possible.How does Dahn Yoga affect your mental state?
