Success Stories: Brain Wave Vibration » Self Esteem

Midway through my 21 day training

dahncenter — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:18:31 +0000

You may have seen my post several days ago on my first day of a special form of 21-day Brain Wave Vibration training. Today is day 11 and I wanted to update you on my progress. The training is to bow 300 times each day for 21 days. I have learned a lot about myself so far. For example, when I began this training I didn’t fully comprehend the commitment and the importance of the promise I made to myself to keep training each day. On day 5 I felt tired and only did 160 bows, but I didn’t feel good about it. When I discussed this with the head instructor at my center they encouraged me to make up for the missed bows. This meant that I needed to do 440 bows the following day. It felt like a huge wall was placed in front of me. I wondered if I had enough courage and commitment in me to continue the training. I am proud to report that I did complete the 440 bows on day 6 and I have continued with the 300 bows each day since. Now on day 11 the bowing meditation is easier, my lower body is getting strong, and I am gaining self confidence that will be useful in all areas of my life.

Giving the gift of love to myself

dahncenter — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:07:41 +0000

My daughter and I joined Dahn Yoga in November 2006. We wanted to learn yoga and get fit. Little did we know we received more than exercise!

I was so busy loving and caring for family and friends, I forgot to love and care for myself. I was so emotional in the beginning, crying in class and was in pain doing the moves. It just takes time and telling myself, “ICAN DO IT, I CAN DO IT!” The homework helps and going to class three times a week have amde me stronger emotionally, more flexible, and I have a lot of energy.

The Brain Wave Vibration CD and book has helped me. I work it in with my homework. Ten minutes everyday makes for a happy day. This has trained me to live in the moment and appreciate the little things in life. Listening to the birds sing, hearing the sounds of the outdoors, enjoying the warmth of the sunshine.

What a fantastic gift I’ve given myself joining Dahn Yoga. Now I take the time to care for and love myself.

How wonderful this experience has been to share this with my daughter. We share what we have learned in Dahn Yoga with our family and friends.

Thank you Mi Young, my Head Instructor, for making this a part of my lfie, you are such an inspiration.

It has truly been a life changing experience

As an elementary school teacher, I am directly impacting the lives of my students and need a lot of energy to do so. Dahn not only helped increase my energy, it improved my concentration, and reminded me how important it is to cherish the relationships I have with my students. Regardless of how stressed I am or how trying a situation may be, I know that I can choose how I am going to react based on what type of energy I put forth. It is incredible to have such power and control over my thoughts, emotions, and habits. It has truly been a life changing experience.

Learning to Thank myself

dahncenter — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:26:56 +0000

I dont really think we take enough time to [think about ourselves]. We think about eveyone else but we dont take time to thank yourselves, and that gave me sterength to acheive my goal which in essence creates happiness, positive thinking, positive in and positive out. The more positivity and postive thoughts you put in , thats what your going to get in the long run and as a result I did lose six pounds in 21 days. I dont think that I’ve reached my goal, but here’s the rainbow and thats what I’m working towards.

Losing the power struggle, winning my life back

dahncenter — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:26:14 +0000

The goal changed I felt it became more improtant to me to make myself strong and powerful, because you know we all have times where we fell frustrated and saddened, lonely and separated, and disconnected and fearful and everthing and you know when you feel like that your very susceptible to what other people tell you, their opinion and what they think you should do and you dont , you get , you lose your own power. You dont have your own strength inside yourself. So I decided that that was going to be important for me that that was the main thing I needed to do. Actually by the time it was over I was feeling very very powerful and I felt that, uh, in fact I began telling a few people off, which isnt neccessary. And also I’ve always had trouble with my neck and my neck was always very stiff but I found that this has really helped improve that. So that its not so painful and if I wake up and it bothers me I just do some vibration and it’s getting better.

Rejuvenation through challenging myself

dahncenter — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:21:26 +0000

Doing something physical helps move my energy and makes me think differently. It is nice to try something new to challenge myself in a different way. It is also I feel necessary to feed your body well and take care of yourself so you can take on new challenges.

It is important to know your body’s condition, however to seek out options to add in to make your overall condition better and healthier.

I believe we have more answers to the health and condition of our body than we can believe. IT is important we teake action to take care of ourselves and then we can see what we can be more than we thought.

The first few days I felt weak and I got runners knee. Now however taking care of my body, strength and stretching i feel my legs and heart getting stronger. I still have ways to go but this is a good beginning.

I truly can say I am hitting somewhat of a new turning point in my life right now. I am really beginning to trust my brain as I give myself new postive information! MY body is beginning to feel that trust . Challenging myself in new ways and not just accepting my precondition as is..is rejuvenating!

It is really awesome to be discovering and challenging myself in new ways again and never giving up to learn new skills. This is amazing and this is why I love our practice so much. I am grateful. I am thankful for this new opportunity. I am keeping it up!

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

dahncenter — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 19:49:50 +0000

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

Such an awakening!

I love Dahn Yoga. Although I haven’t been in a while as my center (Champions) is quite a distance from my home and no longer have early morning classes, I still practice at home. I do see where there is a center in The Woodlands, which I plan to start attending there.

I have taken two or three of the workshops and totally AWAKENED in Shim Sung! What a difference that one workshop did for me not only physically, but mentally. I cannot put into words other that a TOTAL AWAKENING! I am much more open with my self-expression, inner feelings and outlook of others. Thanks so much for teaching me this powerful yoga experience. I also am so thankful that God brought me to you when my sister was in need of finding herself. I tagged along and got even more!

A Life Understanding that goes much deeper than before

dahncenter — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:13:20 +0000

came to Dahn training with a 3 year diagnosis of Diabetes Type 2 non insulin dependent, 10-12 year diagnosis of high blood pressure and a recent diagnosis of elevated cholesterol. I have been taking medication to lower my blood pressure for years. After participating in this program I have noticed my evening and morning blood sugars are 10-20 points lower prior to the start of the program. I sleep better, rest better and my digestion has improved over the course of this program. My ability to gain from a better way of eating has given me new insight into my condition.
I recently lost my job, I was feeling stuck, emotional—crying, angry or feeling defeated or worthless.
I needed to look for a new job but had trouble being excited about the prospect of branching off into another direction. Despite the fact I didn’t like what I was doing prior to losing my job. At least it gave me something to focus my energy on. I found myself without a routine and not set goals. I needed to decide on a new direction.
What I identified as the cause of my issues through the program: I understood my life on a surface level, but had no understanding of what drove my thinking and bad habits. I know how to diet, exercise and network, but I did not have a true relationship with myself. I had low self-esteem, I was lonely, lacked direction. I felt sick, out of touch with my body and I was overthinking and second guessing every decision I made.
What solution I found through the program: The pain in my body is an indication that energy is blocked or tying to open. I looked closely at my past, the information I carry in my brain, my habits and my thoughts. I found some things I did not accept, learned to accept what I have, not to regret my past or fear my future. I feel I can be more proactice in taking care of my body and creating my life instead of drifting along with whatever happens in my day.
It is well worth the experience of taking the action to look at your life closely without fear, taking the blinders off frees you to really come to an understanding of who you really are, what your purpose really is and then taking action to achieve that purpose. Most importantly it teaches you to be honest and to evaluate the effectiveness of your actions. This is the best way to heal your body and your life—yes it requires effort but you are more than worth it.
I came looking to find myself—I truly enjoy knowing me. If I can bring that to others, I will complete my life purpose.

I was overwhelmed with negative energy, thought no one loved me. Dahn Yoga showed me otherwise!

dahncenter — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:09:00 +0000

The day I walked to Dahn, I was very depressed. On the morning of Tuesday, 25 January, 2008, I woke up that morning at 6AM, with tears coming down my eyes and till the evening walking to Glenview Dahn Yoga around 7:30PM. I was so stressed out and filled with negative emotion. I believed the whole world was against me, had thoughts that everyone hated me and that no one loved me.

My physical body was going downhill. Besides the fact that I was over-weight, my body was in extreme pain. My knees started to hurt, I would wake up everyday with neck and shoulder pain, lower back in pain and always had trouble with my stomach.

My purpose in joining Dahn was to get rid of emotion, stress and to find peace. The minute I step a foot at Glenview Dahn Yoga, I feel the calming energy.

After joining and actively practicing Dahn Yoga, for a year and 11 months, my life has tremendously changed. People I have known for ages and don’t see for a while pick-up on my new energy. I am always getting complements from my family and friends that how beautiful I have become and that how my face is brighter and shining and how much happier I look. I tell them to please come join Dahn Yoga, so you can feel your body and you will become like me. My stress level has decreased tremendously and my energy level has increased.

Even though the weight condition has not changed, but I am in the process of changing my brain by using the method of Brain Wave Vibration to lose my weight. My physical body has improved 100%, since 22 January, 2008.

During being involved in these programs:
Shim Sung-I found my true self and the vision of helping people. I had set a goal for my self that I was going to achieve my vision to be healer by 2009 and by May 2009, I completed my Master Healer School and currently giving healing sessions at my center.

BEST Instructor-I found confidence in teaching Dahn Yoga and currently teach Sunday classes, orientation and lead the warm-ups.

Healing Chakra-it helped me open my heart more and get rid of negative emotion and attachment that I was holding on to.

Brain Management Consult-I use it daily in my life style, I did lectures and taught people to save this beautiful EARTH.

Chun Hwa Mediation Suhang-taught me to get rid of preconceptions and having SOMBO:
Seuseng, Vision & Principle. It helped me achieve a bigger vision for myself of becoming a SBN and my goal date is May 2010.
