After three gates training, I am more in the moment

December 14th, 2009 dahncenter

I am so grateful to have taken part in Three-Gates training last week. Even though it was hard for me to wait for a year, I am glad that we waited for the training so that more Atlanta members could experience it together. For me, the training was as profound and changing as Shim Sung. I feel as though my brain just went through the garbage disposal! Like it’s literally grinding up and evolving into something new. Here are some of the new things I have watched:

My victim consciousness is affecting me less. I find that I am less inclined to need to please and less needy of recognition, less competitive, and less worried about whether or not I will succeed. I am more in the moment. More joyful. More relaxed. More loving to myself.

I keep seeing the memory of the picture that I drew of events and wounds that imprison me. I watch as it disappears into the paper shredder. Truly, that was so satisfying! I will be my guardian angel more and more of the time, now. Life events are only 2-dimensional. Not real. Just like images on film. We can turn them off. We can shred them. Now, I get that in my heart not my head.

Through other trainings and meditation, I have felt Oneness with nature and others and the universe, but, this time I experienced something new. I began unraveling like a ball of string. I experienced the memories of being a baby very vividly. I experienced BEFORE I was a baby. I saw other lives peeling off. I could see who I was in these lives. So many different types of people; men and women. Unraveling, I felt what I was before those lives. I was matter and light and vibration in space. And before I was those things¡¦ I was nothing. I didn’t think that memory. I felt it and WAS it. That is who we are. We are truly limitless. Truly powerful. Now, I do believe that we can accomplish anything.

I felt with a desperate longing why I came to this earth, what I want to accomplish, and how I need to help others wake up.
Now, I will shed my fear like a bug’s old skin. Thank you!

Facing myself and being who I want to be with Dahn Yoga!

December 5th, 2009 dahncenter

OK so let’s face it – one doesn’t get fat, out of shape and feel like twice their age by loving vegetables and exercise. I had let myself go for a number of years and a number of reasons. When I came in for my one hour prescreening check up, I found out just where I really was. I tried to bend over and touch my toes and I couldn’t even come close! Now I am not sure if it was lack of flexibility or too much gut in the way – most likely both?everything was sore, my scoliosis bothered me a lot, my blood pressure was borderline high, it was like I was ready to be put out to pasture!! When my hour was up, Master Morgan had me feeling so much better for a few days that I had to at least give Dahn a try. I signed up for the 3 month trial and came my 3 times a week every week.

I have to admit I was a bit freaked out by the hugs and loving environment. I was not used to that and the walls I built around myself were thick. I was sent to Shim Sung within a few weeks. It changed my life and started me on this incredible journey of growth and discovery. I attended as many workshops as I could, I became a Gold Member and started showing up most days of the week. I was feeling much better and seeing some improvement. Did I find the key?
It all ramped up even more when I started taking the deep training with Master Jang. I have become so much stronger and healthier. I have had many people tell me I look like a completely different YOUNGER person (of course playing with the YEHAS helps!) My weight has decreased, my gravity pulled body parts are reshaping back upward and I feel great! My aches and pains are all gone and my back rarely hurts anymore.

I saw the doctor yesterday and she said with the severity of the curve in my spine I should be in an intense amount of pain right now; they usually have to operate at this point to help relieve some of the pain. She was shocked to see otherwise. She sat across from me, put her pen and paperwork down and said “I have to be honest with you?you have lost over 55 pounds, your back is a miracle, your blood pressure is fine and you look great ?healthier then I have ever seen you. Your (Dahn) yoga has done more for you in the last 8 months then I as a doctor could have ever done. Keep it up?
Wow? I guess I DID find the key!!! And who knew I could open my heart this much. No more freak outs over hugs J

Now I can focus on the present!

December 5th, 2009 dahncenter

I have noticed a major shift in myself since I began doing Dahn/Tao yoga one and a half years ago, about 4 times a week. Not only am I stronger and more flexible, but also I have learned to stay much more focused in the present. As a result, I also feel more peaceful, joyful and confident in myself. The yoga instructors are very welcoming and at a high spiritual level with lots of positive good energy. The workshops that are offered, and the private sessions have been very beneficial to my growth as well.
