• 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

    Keeping Your Center

    Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

    Earlier this week I noticed a News Feature article on www.brainwavevibration.com about the controversial movie Zeitgeist. I’ve seen the movie and it definitely shocked my brain. It provides compelling, although maybe not complete, evidence for a number of different conspiracy theories.
    Both the article and the movie made me think more about what a practice such […]

    The War Inside

    Thursday, October 16th, 2008

    This excerpt is from the 25th Dahn Yoga printed newsletter (not the email newsletter). I want to share it in this space because I think it is a great example of the benefits of Dahn Yoga, the little things that make life so much better. I hope you enjoy reading it.

    I realized that […] I […]

    It Only Takes a Moment

    Wednesday, October 15th, 2008

    In many of the lectures I’ve heard Ilchi Lee, founder of Dahn Yoga, give, he will have the audience hold out their arms with their palms down. Then on the count of three, he will have everyone flip their palms up quickly. This demonstration is his way to illustrate how quickly we can change what’s […]

    Help Others By Helping Yourself

    Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

    “We can make our minds so still like water that beings gather around us to see their own images and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our silence.”
    ~William Butler Yeats
    When I read this quote, it reminded me of how I feel around my favorite Dahn […]

    What is yoga?

    Friday, October 3rd, 2008

    I have heard some practitioners of Indian yoga say that Dahn Yoga is not really yoga. Yoga is an Indian word, and certainly there are differences in some of the exercises used in Indian yoga and Dahn Yoga.
    But even though the word “yoga” comes from India, it has been popularized and adopted into the language […]

    International Passion Day

    Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

    September 30, 2008 is International Passion Day (according to Janet and Chris Attwood, authors of the book The Passion Test)–a day to take at least one action to follow your passion and begin fulfilling your life’s purpose.
    But how do you know what your passion is?
    The best thing I ever did to help me find my […]

    Gratitude

    Friday, September 26th, 2008

    Part of a Dahn Yoga practice is getting the energy of your body moving, including the energy in the 7 internal energy centers of the body, often called chakras. There are 3 main chakras, also called dahn-jons in Korean, a lower, middle, and upper. In a regular class, you will often hear an instructor say […]

    Ilchi Lee’s White Dragon

    Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

    I found this amazing poem inside the jacket of the “White Dragon” audio music CD by Arang Park. It is a beautiful reflection of the oneness we can all feel through a consistent Dahn Yoga practice. Dahn Yoga gives us the tools, but here is the inspiration:
    (Can you see the dragon in the picture?)
