Bowing Meditation: A Short History and Explanation

This is an article I wrote for dahnyoga.com and dahnyogavoice.com. I feel like it’s time to share it on this blog. I find bowing meditation a deeply fulfilling practice, and I want others to know more about it. Of course, the only way to really know about it is to try it for yourself. Written instructions are in […]

Ilchi Lee Poem–”More Precious Than Life”

Happy May everyone! On this beautiful May Day, I would like to share one of my favorite hope messages from Ilchi Lee. I think it exemplifies the real Dahn Yoga practice–what the exercises are really all about and what they can ultimately give you. It also illustrates the type of consciousness Dahn Yoga hopes to create in […]

Dahn Yoga Bowing Meditation

As Ilchi Lee’s Human Technology book says:“Bowing is one of the most humble and spiritual acts a human can perform. It is an action that simultaneously signifies acceptance and a deep understanding of and feeling toward its object. Through bowing, we accept, understand, and feel our soul. Moreover, through this action, we cast aside the […]

ChunHwa Shim Sung

Last Sunday I participated as staff in the ChunHwa Shim Sung workshop held by the Sedona Dahn Yoga Center. Unlike the regular Shim Sung, this workshop was one day instead of two, and only featured a couple of elements from the other workshop. This was my first time experiencing the ChunHwa Shim Sung workshop, which […]

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 […]

New Kind of Dahn Yoga Instructor

Now a person who would like to teach Dahn Yoga can be trained and licensed as an instructor who can charge to teach it outside of a Dahn Yoga, Brain Respiration, or Body + Brain Center. This new type of instructor is currently known as an HSP Instructor. HSP is the acronym for Health, Smile, […]

Dahn Mu Hyung Demonstration

A few DahnMuDo School graduates have gotten together to form a demonstration team. They did their first performance last Sunday at the Shim Sung in Boston. The Dahn Mu Hyung form that they did is a beautiful, slow form. I think they demonstrate the beauty and power of DahnMuDo and their true selves very well! […]

Power Brain Method

The Power Brain Method may happen in Boston this weekend, so I thought I’d write my own sharing about it. It was actually a very powerful workshop for me. I took it last spring, so I had already taken a lot of other training. It really showed me how much I am the creator of […]

Tension and your True Self, Shim Sung

I found another Chinese proverb that seems like a perfect reflection of the Dahn Yoga practice:
Tension is what you think you  should berelaxation is who you are. 
Through Dahn Yoga I release the tension in my body and my mind, allowing my natural ki energy to flow. Then my essential nature, or true self, is able […]
