It Doesn’t Require a Change of Clothes, Sweating, or a Class

I have been practicing Dahn Yoga for over 5 years and have had a quantum leap in improvement of the experience of my life. I have used the principles from the Dahn Yoga Basics book in my work with psychotherapy patients and have seen them improve dramatically in their ability to grow through the issues they face.

Now with the new book, Brain Wave Vibration, I have a new tool in my work, and also in my personal life.
I felt this was a clear and easily read explanation of the principles underlying the benefits of vibrational exercises. Ilchi Lee used examples from many cultures that illustrate the universality of the awareness of these principles.

In my own life I am happy to have a simple, easy technique that doesn’t require a change of clothes, sweating, or a class to practice. It can be used at any time that you need the resetting of the brain. I use it when I feel myself getting emotionally caught up in a situation, or when I am beginning a project or interaction that needs a clear mind. I feel much calmer, less reactive and I am maintaining more balance.

In my work, this technique will be easy for my clients to use and add to the other Dahn exercises I have assigned them, without feeling overwhelmed.

The book is a must read for any practitioner! It will keep you from taking yourself too seriously. It is so simple, anyone can get the benefits.

“Alone” is no longer the word I use to describe myself

In Sept 2005, I began to wander less in my life and I felt daily improvements with my health. Prior to this date, I had seen my naturopath at least once a month for 2.5 years who helped me to dramatically change my diet and taking supplements 3 times a day to just keep myself going and HEALTHY! I was fighting fatigue and became anemic. My doctor suggested to quit one of my jobs to reduce stress and time on the road. I rarely felt together. I also began transitioning out of my marriage. I also searched for a good counselor who would help me through all my life questions and challenges.
After 9 months of counseling, I learned many things about myself and became more aware of myself. But I had reached to a point where I needed more than just the combination of the naturopath and counselor. During this time, I had daily conversations with a friend who did meditation and yoga daily and I wanted to receive the benefits that she was receiving. However, I didn’t have the slightest idea how to do meditation and do I have to do “downward facing dog” too?
Around this time, I made a visit to a former supervisor and friend. She also had done meditation and relaxation techniques for many years. She saw what I needed and told me about what she had just found. She told me about this “Dahn Yoga” and invited me to a “Family healing night” that Thursday. On Friday I was in for my check-up and joined Dahn center. The next month was “Initial Awakening” the month to follow was “Shim-sung”. Shim-sung was the most earth shaking, mind bending experience one would have the opportunity to enjoy. I just couldn’t believe the work one could do for his/her soul in just 2 days. I hadn’t done that much work with 9 months of counseling. I had 2 more visits scheduled with the counselor after Shim-sung. When I walked in to the office, I was greeted with what I had done. She remarked my face was calm and relaxed. I had a smile on my face. My voice was calm. I was confident and able to clearly articulate what I wanted and what I thought my purpose in life was. By the end of the hour, she was asking me where and what I have been doing and said what ever you are doing has made remarkable changes in such a short time. She finished by saying you don’t need to see me anymore. How often is it that a Counselor would say, you don’t need her anymore? I agreed.
Call me crazy but I have done the gym thing which isn’t fun without a consistent partner. Yuk, I tried a women’s gym. It just didn’t turn my crank or give me what I needed because I was still struggling with my physical problems and STRESS. So what has “Dahn Yoga” done for me? In 5 months, words no longer hurt me. If one slips in I feel it right away and ask myself whether I need to attach to this feeling or just let it go. The answer most often is, just let it go. There are times when these words present lessons where you want to watch yourself and learn. However, it is amazing how much of what we reacted to was not really meant for us but for the other person talking to himself/herself. “Alone” is no longer the word I use to describe myself. I am very happy and confident with myself. Oh, I had my naturopath call me recently asking where I have been and how I am. She hasn’t seen me in 6 months

How Dahn Yoga Changed my Life

I am so thrilled with the inspiration and health I have received from Dahn Yoga. I have multiple sclerosis and some days it is hard for me to walk. My legs sometimes cramp and the stretching and gentle exercises continue to make me stronger. I have attended Shim Shun training, have read the Brain Wave Vibration book, and attended numerous training classes. I keep my power bars in my pockets to help my walk better. My balance has improved. I couldn’t say enough wonderful things about Dahn Yoga. I have become a gold, lifetime member and I look forward to attending class at least three to four times per week.
