• 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

    Monday, January 11th, 2010

    The other article I wrote for both www.dahnyoga.com and dahnyogavoice.com is about postures that are held for varying lengths of time.
    One of the many exercises found in a Dahn Yoga class is Yeon-Dahn. “Yeon” refers to strengthening a sword’s steel blade by hammering it; “Dahn” means vital energy. Accordingly, like other Dahn Yoga techniques, these […]

    Bowing Meditation: A Short History and Explanation

    Saturday, January 9th, 2010

    This is an article I wrote for dahnyoga.com and dahnyogavoice.com. I feel like it’s time to share it on this blog.

    Acupressure Point for Colds

    Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

    In my experience, and based upon advice I have been given from many Dahn Healers, the Dae-choo energy point at the base of the back of the neck is the best acupressure point to stimulate if you have a cold or other upper respiratory illness. The Dae-choo is found between the seventh cervical vertebrae and the […]

    Dahn Yoga for Diabetes

    Monday, November 30th, 2009

    On this last day of the month, I would like to weigh in on diabetes since November is American Diabetes Month. This disease is pretty close to my heart because most of my family has it. Family gatherings almost sound like a diabetes support group.
    Diabetes is a disease that is heavily affected by your lifestyle habits. […]

    Healing Pain

    Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

    One of Dahn Yoga founder Ilchi Lee’s awakenings after a rigorous 21-days of fasting and meditation was: “My body is not me, but mine.” Inherent in this statement is that we are more than our bodies. We can transcend our physical form, and don’t need to suffer from mental anguish when our bodies are sick, […]

    Acupressure Points for Reproductive Problems

    Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

    According to the book Meridian Exercise for Self-Healing by Ilchi Lee, “Adherents to Eastern Medicine believe that cramps accompanying menstruation are the result of coldness and stagnant blood in the area of the pelvis. This weakens the uterus, ovaries, and muscles near the pelvis, causing fatigue, headache, anxiety, hypersensitivity, abdominal cramps, and excessive menstruation. You […]

    Saturday, April 18th, 2009

    A man in his 20s was brought to the Forest Park Dahn Yoga center by his mother, who was already attending classes there, in hope that it would help the arthritis in his knees. At first, the center manager, David Driscoll, just did one individual Brain Wave Vibration session with him. During the session, the […]
