When I came to the Dahn Yoga Center 2 years ago, I didn’t know that the continual thoughts in my head could stop. I was stressed, having difficulty sleeping, and often impatient. Brain Wave Vibration is healing me! My life is more joyful. I usually sleep well at night. When I’m teaching, I feel calm and confident. There are actually times when my head doesn’t feel crammed full of thoughts! Such Light! Such Joy!

No Comments »Nourishing my spirit
January 7th, 2010 dahncenter When I started my Brain Wave Vibration training, I decided I would focus on the goal, “I am nourishing my spirit.” I chose this because many times it is hard for me to make even small choices for my highest good. Things like healthy eating and exercise, or procrastinating over small projects, I create a log jam of weight actually & figuratively in my mind, body and spirit.
When I do make good choices and respond to my inner voice (what I call “my spirit”), I feel at one with myself and am therefore more available to others that I care about. I am then able to share myself and give in an open and loving way because at this time I can give from a “full cup.” A long time ago I was told by a very wise woman,
“You cannot give from an empty cup,”–this advice came during a time when a much-loved relative was waging a losing battle with cancer.
After one Brain Wave Vibration training, I watched the tea being poured into the cups in the tea circle, filling each to the brim,and a thought came to me, “She gives from a full cup,” and my heart opened and tears welled up–my sign that a personal truth is spoken. I shared this thought to the group and went on to describe the changes in my thinking and behavior that had been occurring since doing Brain Wave Vibration. The good choices were becoming easier and more frequent, like being on autopilot.
Most important to me, however, was the transition that had taken place during that day’s class. While doing Brain Wave Vibration and focusing on, “I am nourishing my spirit,” the phrase flipped in my head and became, “My spirit is nourishing me.”

January 7th, 2010 dahncenter ” What I like about the Brain Wave Vibration is not only that it brings my energy down, but it also calms my brain. Also a lot of times, I do the vibration on the floor because I have Cerebral Palsy in my muslce. Its really been I would call it a gift because it’s really helped me work through some of the stiffness and such that I experience. I’m very analytical. I’m a scientist by trade and so I’m constantly analyzing and thinking and planning. ‘What’s the next thing I need to do?’ Even in the morning when I get up and I’m doing the tapping in the morning and the vibration, I’ve already started. As soon as I get out of bed, I’ve started thinking about what I have to do for the day. And so, its been interesting because just that 15 or 20 minutes of tapping and Brain Wave Vibration makes my brain just stop and not be planning and thinking and doing all of those thing. As I’ve heard it described, it seems to settle me down enough that I can sort of logically and very carefully plan my day, but not just be wired and disorganized. It helps me in being more organized. It’s not just that it stops me from thinking and being distracted but I also think part of having CP is I’ve had to train another part of my brain to move my legs. So the Brain Wave Vibration has really helped me. My brain seems more elastic. I’m more free to do things. Its easier to do things, both physically and mentally. Its just really been a powerful tool and I’ve started telling people about it. Saying you reall ought to check this out.”

January 7th, 2010 dahncenter 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.

January 6th, 2010 dahncenter Usually when I do Brain Wave Vibration I feel a lot of energy moving in my body. It starts from my head and works its way down. The one time I felt a lot more was just a few days ago when I took the Brain Management Consultant course with Regional Director Kim. I had shaking through my torso that felt like it was out of my control. It was a vibration that I didn’t feel like I brought on myself. And I had a very clear image of my grandmother on my right and my mother on my left. My grandmother recently passed away and I had been having trouble letting go of her. I also had a lifetime of anger towards my mother. Then I had a very clear image of my grandmother slowly floating away. I was watching her and I was trying to hang on. Eventually I wasn’t holding on anymore. Something made me then turn to my left and next thing I know my mother was right next to me. I don’t know when she got there. I automatically opened my arms to her as if I was accepting her and forgiving her for all the anger I’ve had for many years. And it’s probably just a start but I’ll take that and continue to do Brain Wave Vibration.

January 6th, 2010 dahncenter What I found with Brain Wave Vibration is that somehow it clears the thoughts and helps you focus. In fact, recently I have been going through difficult times. In the midst of all that I got information that my mother in India was very sick with a blockage in her intestine. She hadn’t eaten for a week and she’s 83 years old. My brother said, “Come on, we need you.” They were going to do surgery on her. So I decided to send healing energy to my mother during Brain Wave Vibration and I really got into it. What’s surprising is that 2 days later, my brother called and said, “Everything just started moving by itself.” Now she’s started eating a little bit. And that’s wonderful news.

January 6th, 2010 dahncenter Ten years ago, I was injured while helping my coworkers lift a woman who had a seizure. I ended up having neck disk surgery and a disk pin was placed in my neck. This was never comfortable, but then last year things really got bad. I suddenly started having pain all over my body, as though my entire nervous system were affected.
Eventually it got so bad that I could not function at work, and I was hospitalized for a while. I tried many drugs, including cortisone, but nothing helped much. Fortunately, the first day away from work, I happened to pass a Dahn Yoga Center. I had taken tai chi before and loved it, so I was interested in giving it a try. Because I was in such bad shape, I decided to take private healing sessions, which focused on Brain Wave Vibration as a healing method.
I experienced the benefits of Brain Wave Vibration right away. In the early stages, I felt like something was shifting in my body. I felt like my body really wanted to get better, and somehow the vibrations were helping unleash something from deep inside. With each session, I became stronger and stronger.
Now I am virtually pain free for the first time in a long time, and I am able to walk and enjoy my life as normal. Whenever I feel pain, all I have to do is take ten minutes to feel the rhythm of my own body. It has shifted my whole outlook on the experience of stress and pain in my body and has given me a real sense of control over these things. I think of Brain Wave Vibration as my “balancer.” Even other people have noticed how much calmer and centered I am. All in all, Brain Wave Vibration has been an awesome experience.

January 6th, 2010 dahncenter I was introduced to Brain Wave Vibration at the Cottonwood Dahn Yoga Center in Albuquerque, NM. After practicing for only two months, Brain Wave Vibration has become a powerful tool used to rid my body of stress and negativity while helping me focus on healing my back. The recovery time of my back injury decreased while my body and brain increased in strength. Now focusing on other personal goals is helping me to achieve personal success through Brain Wave Vibration. I could not be happier! My family loves to see my big smiling face after each class.

January 6th, 2010 dahncenter I began Brain Wave Vibration four days ago and it’s been an incredible experience. Initially, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was trying to accomplish, but by day three I got a glimpse of what I believe I’m striving for. Rather than feeling like I’m just rattling my brains around, I was able to go deeper and for a time, my awareness wasn’t confined to my head. I felt like I was floating in space without walls or limitations. I’m not able to hold onto this feeling for very long, but I’m getting there. Since beginning Brain Wave Vibration, my digestion in particular has improved, and I feel calmer and more serene.

January 6th, 2010 dahncenter 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.
