Ilchi Lee Educating Brain, Dahn Yoga

don’t forget to pay it foward today!

if you don’t know what i’m talking about watch the movie “pay it foward” ^^

i sometimes think it’d be nice to be a tree. to feel rooted into the earh feeling the warmth of the sun and coolness of the breeze all day long in nature’s arms.

 but then i wonder you can’t decide which way you go. you just have to go along with the wind. being pushed around, not really having any say at all. even though a great tree could be so beautiful and vast, i wonder really would they feel free?

Today during teatime sharing after my Dahn Yoga class, I came to be very  humbled….

I grew up with a lot of family problems, and I had always thought that I was mature for my age from such experiences. But a member shared very honestly about her recent and past troubles that made me look like a tiny papercut — and she shared with so much sincere gratitude and humility. This made me take another look at my life and my experiences and what I actually know — absolutely nothing! It was very humbling yet refreshing to be able to see myself a clean slate, clear water, to openly share and connect with other people without the taint of my ego.

I got my personal blog. There is title of my blog.  “The future is depending on my one breathing.” 

 At that moment, when I decided that title, that idea just came to my brain.  Nowdays, I realize how much it is important to breath properly.

        Last weekend I got special training in sedona ilchi meditaion center. During those time, I realized the simple is the best. ^^* Actually, I got eduacation how it is important to do proper intestine exercise and breathing exercise.  I thought intestine and breathing exercise was a little boring, but I realized how much they were important and powerful. ^^  

Have you read the book, “A mind of its own” by Cordelia Fine? It’s about how our “vain brain” edits the information we perceive and work with, in order to make ourselves appear better. It’s a very interesting read, let me tell you…

everything always seems to be a calcuation. we try to figure everything out. i wonder why it’s so hard for us to accept things the way they are without questioning every detail. always wanting to know why~

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!

When I started to practice Dahn Yoga, I had lyme disease. I was always fatigued, tired, lacked motivation, and I was horribly stiff. My muscles and  joints ached and there were days that I couldn’t move, even when I wanted and tried to.

I had no idea what my condition was doing to me. I just knew how I felt. After I did the Initial Awakening workshop, I felt what my body was saying to me: stop that medication. So, I stopped, much to the displeasure of my family and doctor. I remained firm and after 1 month, I began to see healing signs and improvements.

After 2 weeks of classes (which I initially did not like nor want to participate in), my body began to crave more Dahn Yoga classes. After that first month, I couldn’t wait until it was “Dahn Time.” With each class, I felt better and I was getting stronger. My flexibility ioncreased, my mind was more clear, and I wasn’t as fatigued or in pain. The frequency of getting sick decreased to the point where I rarely get a cold (woo hoo!).

Just through this training, I was able to cure myself of lyme disease, and its effects. My body and mind were truly healed. Now, I am working on getting back the passion that I had before this disease hit me. I am certain that the passion, too, will come back, just like my health.

Thank you Dahn Yoga! Thank you, Ilchi Lee, for bringing this to us!
