What I’m gaining through my Dahnhak training is not just my physical health, but opening up my heart and mind and creating peace for myself. I learn to take a step back from my daily life and watch myself, and through that I can see the bigger perspect and empathize with others more deeply and widely.
When I first began my Dahn training, there was nothing I wanted more desperated than peace of mind. Not that I felt extremely troubled at the time, but looking back I can clearly see the difference between being comfortable and being peaceful. Comfort comes from times when I can find stillness from my emotions, when there are no strains in my life, but peace just is the state of stilled emotions. I may from time to time find comfort between the storms of emotions, but finding peace from being able to create stillness within myself by detaching from emotions is very different. Through my Dahnhak training, I was able to discover what inner peace is. I’m going to keep spending every day — including today — with a very grateful mind. Thank you very much!
