Spreading the principles of HSP09.30.08

Dahn Foundation programs can take many forms by applying the principles of HSP and BEST. The Jang Saeng (longevity) walking program can be offered as a small workshop or as a HSP walking event.

Jang Saeng (Longevity) Walking

The Jang Saeng (JS) walking method is a walking technology for health and longevity. Jang Saeng (longevity) walking is a simple variation in walking style that can help you to correct your hip joints and spine allowing for better blood and energy circulation throughout your whole body.

Sedona Story09.24.08

 
As Brain Education evolved, Ilchi Lee realized the importance of sharing his techniques outside of Korea. Attracted to the powerful cultural diversity of the United States, he visited the country in 1995. Driving across the country, he discovered Sedona, Arizona, a land of extraordinary natural beauty and rich Native American cultural heritage. To some, Sedona is a quaint little tourist town isolated in Arizona’s high desert. But in Lee’s mind, it is a perfectly inspiring area where many people from various cultures can gather to explore the creation of a more healthy and peaceful world.

In Sedona’s scenic and sacred landscape, Ilchi Lee started guiding nature walks to share his philosophy and practices with visitors to Sedona. Soon thereafter, he founded the Sedona Ilchi Meditation Center at Mago Garden, in the middle of a beautiful national forest. Creating a place to harmonize humanity and nature, this Center offers training courses in healing, meditation, leadership, and personal growth to people from all parts of the world.

Know Thyself09.19.08

One way to gain control over your stress response is to realize when it has become inappropriate.
Some stress is beneficial, but when and how does it become a problem for you? One way to determine
this is to watch your physical body closely. Often, even before your conscious mind becomes aware of
a stressor, the muscles in your body respond to it, becoming tense and rigid.
If you are under the influence of chronic stress, you probably have a few stress-related knots around your
neck and shoulders. Sound familiar? Work to release these knots through stretching, massage, and breathing
exercises such as those in the following chapters.
Be patient—your body has a stress habit, so these tense spots may take awhile to alleviate.
Also, notice how your body responds when you are in a highly stressful situation. Do you hold your
shoulders high? Does your breathing become shallow and rapid? These little details can be your clue to
the point at which stress hormones have gone from helpful to hurtful.

Dahn Yoga members08.15.08

If you take a look at Dahn Yoga’s official website, you can easily find out how to become a Dahn Yoga member. It is very important in one’s life to change her bad habits. If you think something, you have neurons in your brain passed in such a way to have the thought. When you have the thought repeatedly, the neurons have the same path repeatedly. When the path becomes so obvious that the neuron path creates into a circuit. Repeated thoughts will form a habit. If we want to live a creative, productive and peaceful life, you should change bad habits.

Practicing Dahn Yoga is one of the greatest way to change habits. To change habits, it is important to do something continuously for 21 days. It’s because it takes about 21 days for your brain to accept a new pattern of doing something. First, begin with a very simple thing, a very small change. Choose something you can do without having much change. When you succeed in changing even a smallest thing, you will gain confidence from that. And after that you can challenge to a bigger and bigger change. Check your brain and be awake always. Keep in mind always that you are the master of your brain and life. If you want to be the master of your brain, you should be master of your brain.

Get your body relaxed at a Dahn Yoga center. Breathe out deeply. We tend to breathe in rather than breathe out. It’s because we instinctly want to own something. However, if you want to gain something, you should let go of yours first. Breathe out. Relax. Empty yourself first.

Dahn Yoga: abdominal clapping08.01.08

Dahn Yoga Abdominal clapping is a very warming up exercise along with Dahn Yoga circulation exercise. Combined with other exercises, the abdominal clapping exercise will help the intestines to become soft and flexible for abdominal breathing. This exercise not only stimulates, strengthens, and softens the intestines, but also awakens the abdomen. As you accumulate Ki energy in your abdomen, you will experience an enhanced sense of confidence and well-being.

If you eat too much meat or have poor eating habits, the food does not digest well, stagnating in the intestines. This results in constipation and other gastrointestinal upsets. Toxins can form as well, which are often responsible for the development of headaches and skin problems. Peristalsis becomes compromised and causes age acceleration. Abdominal clapping helps to lessen this condition and to restore normal peristaltic movement. Abdominal clapping can be practiced at your home as well as at a local Dahn Yoga Center founded by Ilchi Lee.

Dahn Yoga on Intestine Exercise07.28.08

Proper abdominal breathing expels used Ki energy upon exhalation and acquires new Ki energy through inhalation. Abdominal breathing is only effective if the intestines are soft and flexible. Most people, when they begin meridian exercise, have stiff, hard intestines. The intestine exercise remedies this condition by increasing blood circulation to the intestines. It can remedy constipation and other digestive problems and can sometimes cause cysts in the uterus to disappear.

Alex, a Dahn Yoga instructor in Scottsdale, AZ, says “It is important to practice the intestine exercise on a daily basis, which is made easier by the fact that it can be performed in a variety of positions, any time and any place. You can sit, lie or stand.”

If you also tighten your rectal muscles during this exercise, you will be able to gather energy and to feel warmth much more quickly. You should not overdo this exercise in the beginning, though, because it may result in some discomfort.

According to Ilchi Lee, the founder of Dahn Yoga, it is good to combine abdominal breathing with the intestine exercise for maximum effect. Inhale as you push your abdomen out, and exhale as you contract it. Hold each inhalation and exhalation for 2-3 seconds.

As you become more proficient, you can gradually increase the number of reperitions, up to 300.

If you experience pain in the intestines during the exercise, stop and gently rub the abdomen in a circular motion, massaging the intestines with your palms.

Ilchi Lee on the Quality of your thoughts07.26.08

For the sake of your own health and happiness, as well as that of so many others around you, please pay attention to the quality of your thoughts. People spend many hours honing the shapes of their bodies through weight lifting, aerobic exercise, and other athletic endeavors. Ilchi Lee says he believes people should pay equal, if not more, attention to the fitness of their brain waves. Ilchi Lee says he believes that behind almost every illness and every relationship problem lies some habit related to unhealthy brain waves. Healthier brain waves translate into healthier emotional states, which in turn create stronger bodies and happier lives.

The shamans of the past, according to Ilchi Lee in his book Brain Wave Vibration, and perhaps those existing in the present, were essentially brain wave doctors. They did not have the scientific understanding of brain waves that we possess, but it is clear that their healing system was designed to stimulate healing power from within the ailing individual. Often this involved vigorously shaking the body or dancing frenetically until a deep state of trance was achieved.

You can learn Brain Wave Vibration in a local Dahn yoga center and meet lots of Dahn yoga members who practice this new method to hone your brain waves.

Dahn Yoga: Circulation Exercise07.24.08

Dahn Yoga Circulation Exercise

Circulation exercise helps to spread Ki energy throughout the body from the lower abdomen. it helps rid the body of tension and stagnant energy while strengthening cells and bones. The blood in the lower extremities circulates more freely, and this helps to slow the aging process. The vibration also allows for the distribution of oxygen to the brain, which helps brain functioning, particularly concentration and memory.

Circulation exercise is especially helpful for people who experience high blood pressure, heart disease, rheumatism, or bronchial asthma. It helps to ease the symptoms of thyroid disorders and diseases of the skin as well. If you have any of these disorders, you can increase the time spent practicing the circulation exercise up to 10 minutes per session.
