Now I’m really walking

Due to back and neck pain, the only exercise I used to do was walking–with limitations because my sciatic nerve was pinched most of the time. In addition, for the last 6 months I have had plantar fasciitis in my feet which made walking very painful. Now, after guidance from our Head Instructor Ben on how to walk correctly (Jang Saeng or Vitality Walking), the pain in the soles of my feet has disappeared. And thanks to the Dahn Yoga sessions, which include Brain Wave Vibration, the sciatic nerve has not been bothering me for the last three weeks. When I first began to walk to the Dahn Yoga center, it took me 45 minutes. Now I am able to walk very briskly and the same distance takes me 25 minutes.

When I first started practicing I was concerned about my lack of flexibility, balance, and the coordination of my body, but as time goes by I feel more and more agile.

An additional benefit is that I have lost some weight and for first time in my life, controlling my weight is not a great sacrifice, since my body doesn¡¯t crave food all of the time.

I still have some issues with my back, but I am absolutely sure that with regular training the pain will eventually go away. This realization is perhaps the most important benefit from DahnMuDo and Brain Wave Vibration: my attitude has changed not only towards physical pain but also towards emotional pain. I am not only able to control my body better, but using a few tips I have received, I am able to control my emotions better as well.

Lastly but not least, I found a great group of people who share the same objectives as I do–to have a healthier and happier life.

Thank you Brain Wave Vibration!

Managing High blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes with Brain Wave Vibration

I have been practicing Dahn Yoga for about three years. I had noticed a sign for a center in Las Vegas where my family and I lived. I was looking for a way to lose weight and get some exercise since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, which were controlled through medication prescribed by my doctor. I was taking six different medications daily!

My true feelings were that I knew I could help my body get healthier without so much medication. While attending the classes three days a week I have lost 46 pounds that will stay off because they were lost the right way. My blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol are all in excellent control and I only take half a pill a day. I have learned to relax and breathe properly so that I sleep much better and am able to control my emotions in stressful situations.

I would urge anyone feeling like they would like to help themselves become healthier and happier to try Dahn and its Brain Wave Vibration-based program. The power is waiting inside you–come and meet your true self.

My Brain Wave Vibration Evolution

When I first started Brain Wave Vibration (BWV), it intrigued me. Our instructor suggested forming a goal prior to starting the exercise. So, I immediately decided to set something I didn’t think would work: getting out of bed in the morning on time. Well, to my surprise, it did work. Not only do I get out of bed on time, I actually wake up BEFORE the radio comes on. With such amazing success, I do Brain Wave Vibration much more often and with greater focus than before. Immediately on starting BWV, I now feel a surge of energy, then relaxation throughout my whole body. What a stress reliever! Whenever I start getting uptight, like in traffic or worrying about being late, I have a tool that eases my anxiety. Today, I’m more relaxed and I’m looking forward to the next benefit I’ll find from BWV. BWV’s proved to be a real and delightful adventure.

No More Blood Pressure Medication

I have been taking Dahn Yoga for the past three weeks. And the Brain Wave Vibration I thought initially was kind of dumb. I was skeptical. I couldn’t imagine it making any changes in my life. But after the first week, I noticed my blood pressure had gone down significantly. And so I no longer take my high blood pressure medicine. And this is really from someone who has been taking blood pressure medicine for the past 20 years. So that has been a significant improvement.

The other improvement from Brain Wave Vibration is that I have a lighter feeling inside; I feel peaceful. So when negative thoughts come into my head I can just shake it away, shake it away. Now I know how to do that and to control my thoughts and keep that inner peace.

One day when I came in for Brain Wave Vibration training I had a splitting sinus headache. Afterwards I had no headache and didn’t need to take any medicine. Usually when I have a sinus headache it lasts for a very long time. But that time, after the session, no headache.

So I feel better, I feel lighter, I feel at peace with happiness, oneness, and joy. This is a great, great training.

Lower Blood Pressure Naturally

Thanks to Brain Wave Vibration, I am able to keep centered and calm in some of the most trying times. I used to have high blood pressure, and I was taking two kinds of medication, but it did not lower it enough. Now I am off the medication and my blood pressure is down. When I feel the need to take my focus away from a stressful situation, Brain Wave Vibration works so much faster than medication for me, and the only side effect is lower blood pressure, calmer nervous system, and a clearer mind. The best part is that it is so easy to do, and it works in minutes and cost nothing.

Feeling good, looking great

I have developed an increased awareness of my physical body and the areas in need of healing or repair. I have also taken control of the pace of my life and have begun to tune into my universe.

For the first time ever, I am recognizing and making a connection between my mind, body, and spirit. Brain Wave Vibration has empowered me to make positive, healthy changes in my life.

I have lost weight, improved circulation to my extremities, and found a way to heal myself all with a sense of calm, peace, and joy. In a single week, two different people have told me that I’ve lost weight and that I look good.

More importantly, I feel good!

Developing a strong physical foundation

I have always had a strong spiritual practice, but I recognized that I needed a more physical practice to integrate my mind, body, and spirit. My journey has included the process of overcoming the anorexia and bulimia I experienced in my teens and 20’s, and while I am light years away from that thirty years later, I do know that I must continue to love my body and embrace it fully. This practice is helping me do that.

Overall Dahn Yoga has been very a positive influence on my life.

I joined Dahn Yoga in June 2006 after I received a flyer on my doorstep. It offered a free trial class and I had been thinking I needed to try some sort of a class to increase my flexibility.

I did not read the flyer closely because I was so busy that I missed the free class.I pretty much just showed up and asked to give it a try. Once I was there, the class seemed very silly and tried hard not to laugh in class. I did not think I got anything from the class.

However, after the evening class I went home and actually got a good nights sleep for the first time in years. The next day I returned and signed up for a 3 month program and made a promise to myself to give this class my best efforts.I kept my promise and attended the evening class every evening I was available.

Then I started working individually with my instructor in private healing classes.The first few sessions were very painful and I did not think I was ever going to make progress. By the last few sessions, I felt so much better, it was remarkable. I have improved my flexibility and reduced my joint pain tremendously.I feel much more in control and am losing weight.

Overall Dahn Yoga has been very a positive influence on my life and I will continue to make progress with my goals.

My life has taken a radical shift for the better

I joined Dahn Yoga in September, shortly after my grown daughter and her teenage son came to live with me. They moved here from Spokane to get a new start. I had lived alone for about 10 years and needless to say, it was quite a shock to my system to have them living in my home indefinitely. So I decided to join the center to have some place to be while we adjusted to our new living arrangement and also to take off some much needed weight. I really enjoyed this experience and was attending the classes at least 6 times a week. Within 3 weeks I went to the Shim Sung workshop. What a revelation!!! This program was more than I bargained for!!! I truly connected with myself for the first time in my life.How powerful!!! My life has taken a radical shift for the better. I’ve become easier to live with and recently graduated Dahn Healer School. Initially I didn’t even know what healer school was and when I first went there I wondered, “what am I here for?” I’ve discovered my healing capabilities for not only myself but for my family and friends. One of my visions for the future is to start a Dahn Yoga program in the Boys and Girls club in Tacoma.
