• 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

    Earth Dahn Gong Form

    Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

    I recently started learning more dahn gong forms, which are basically like tai chi. Through them you can  move the energy within and around your body. One of the most basic, though powerful, forms is Earth Dahn Gong. I think it is easier to learn from watching someone else do it rather than reading written […]

    Sound in Dahn Yoga

    Monday, November 3rd, 2008

    Dahn Yoga, like other forms of yoga, sometimes uses sound. Like meridian stretching, joint rotation, and vibration exercise, sound can help get your energy flowing properly in your body.
    Different sounds have different effects. As I’ve mentioned before in this blog, the “Ah” sound helps relax the chest and open the fourth chakra.
    Sometimes specific words are […]

    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.

    Brain wave vibration

But in case of brain, we’d better use the power of imagination. Because it is a little bit difficult to ignite the natural vibration in our brain rather than […]

    The importance of the Tailbone

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    From Dahn Yoga Basics book
    You may have learned in biology that the human tailbone is “vestigial,” meaning that it is an evolutionary “leftover,” with no practical use for the modern human body. As it turns out, the tailbone is very important for the structure and support of the body-and the flow of energy throughout it.
    First […]

    What is a good information?

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    Our brain wants good food, which means good information. Because it reacts on information. Then lots of emotion follow and affect our body by the energy of that emotion.
    What is a good information?  If it is helpful in a view of ‘Health, Smile (Happiness) and Peace’, that is a good information. Good for each person’s health, Good for happiness […]
