• 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

    Posture No. 2:

    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 […]

    Ilchi Lee’s Special Acupuncture Healing

    Saturday, October 25th, 2008

    Dahn 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.

    Saturday, September 27th, 2008

    Speaking 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.

    Dahn Yoga Shoulder Exercises

    Monday, September 15th, 2008

    When I ask people what part of their body they feel like they hold the most tension, most answer their neck and shoulders. Long hours sitting in front of a computer or television, or behind a steering wheel, leads to poor posture and stiff, hunched shoulders.
    Here is the Asian medicine point of view of pain […]

    I love intestine exercises!

    Friday, April 11th, 2008

    When I worked in a center I would always tell everyone to do intestine exercises because you can really do them almost anywhere. They help keep you centered even while you are doing something else and clean out the garbage in your intestines. I have always done them to varying degrees, but now I am […]
