Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Sky Posture, also known as “Chun” posture, was my nemesis once–a real challenge to overcome. Within 5 minutes of holding the posture my legs shake as if they were made of Jello.
Nowadays my legs are stronger and holding the posture is manageable, but I can still feel the benefit of holding it for extended periods […]
Sound in Dahn Yoga
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Dahn 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 […]
Ilchi Lee’s Special Acupuncture Healing
Saturday, October 25th, 2008Dahn Yoga techniques are based on the same Asian medical principles as acupunture.
Now, Ilchi Lee has combined acupuncture with his latest mind-body Brain Education method, Brain Wave Vibration.
Called WoonKi Acupunture, it is done by putting an acupuncture needle in a person’s Baekhoe, or the point at the top of their head where many meridian channels […]
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 […]
Chest Expanding Exercise
Saturday, September 27th, 2008Speaking of exercises that open your heart chakra, here is a chest expanding exercise I found in Ilchi Lee’s book, Meridian Exercise for Self-Healing: Classified by Common Symptoms. I looked there to see if there was a specific exercise it recommended, especially one I was unfamiliar with.
According to the book, this exercise “promotes deep and […]
It’s All in Your Feet
Friday, September 19th, 2008I found this exercise at the Dahn Yoga Hawaii Member’s blog. I have done it many times, but seeing it there reminded me about how great it feels and how important your feet are.
Many of you may have heard of reflexology and how many parts of your body can be affected by stimulating your feet. […]
Lawyer Discovers Brain Wave Vibration and Dahn Mu
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008I found a blog post at idealawg written by a woman lawyer who discovered Brain Wave Vibration and Dahn Mu. She says, “I was intrigued because I often move to music in a way that is improvisational. Guess Dahn Mu comes to some people (maybe many? most?) naturally.”
In fact, if you relax enough and allow […]

Dahn Yoga Energy Meditation
Thursday, August 7th, 2008While we are on the subject of meditation, here is a description of the energy meditation, called ji-gam in Korean, that often finishes a Dahn Yoga class. This meditation works really well for quieting your thoughts and purifying your emotions, even if you have little experience or expertise with meditation. It also helps your mind […]
Dahn-mu
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008Dahn means “life energy” in Korean. Mu means “dance”. So Dahn-mu is a dance with your own Ki energy that is effective for controlling and utilizing Ki. There aren’t any techniques to learn to perform Dahn-mu. The most important thing is feeling the Ki of your body and flowing with it without censoring your movements, […]
