Quick Morning Workout

Sure, it feels good when you get a chance to exercise first thing when you wake up in the morning, but often many personal obstacles hinder us. I, for one, have trouble getting up, although I’m fine once I take the plunge.
But when I thought about it, doing a few quick exercises that didn’t take […]

Yeon Dahn Explained: Melting Your Stress

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 […]

Acupressure Point for Colds

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

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. […]

New DahnMuDo 3-DVD Set

I’m very sorry I haven’t posted to this blog recently. I hope everyone has been enjoying a deepening of their Dahn Yoga practice.
If you are a Dahn Yoga member, you have heard about and probably taken some basic classes in DahnMuDo, a non-combative, healing martial art developed by Ilchi Lee. Before his enlightenment, Ilchi Lee was actually a […]

Dahn Yoga Crazy

Peace, serenity, calm…words often associated with yoga.
But sometimes to get to the peace and serenity, you have to go a little crazy. You have to be crazy enough to burn away the extra energy that’s stuck in your body, and crazy enough to blow past the preconceptions about yourself that are holding you back from […]

Earth Dahn Gong Form

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 […]

Circulating Energy with Dahn Yoga–Healing Knee Arthritis

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 […]

Dahn Yoga Energy Meditation Tips

I found this article in the Summer 2006 issue of body & brain magazine. I thought it was engaging and helpful. I hope you do too. It has great tips for Dahn Yoga Energy Meditation (also called Brain Vitality Meditation or Ji-gam).Beginners to Dahn Yoga enjoy its strong physical aspect and relaxing breathing postures without […]

Ilchi Lee is organizing a big show called the Brain Art Festival, which will feature his lecture and Brain Wave Vibration, currently the core Dahn Yoga exercise. Imagine doing Brain Wave Vibration with 6,000 people […]
