Dahn Yoga Washington member’s blog

The Vortex Training we had last Friday, Feb 8 and again during the Tao Healer’s Training last Sunday, Feb 10 were a lot of fun and very healing! Master Kim was an inspirational, funny, knowledgeable and amazing trainer and healer! We witnessed and experienced the power of okum and other healing tools. I bought 2 more okum powercards in addition to my collections and finally bought dokaibe that I’ve always wanted to have. The powercards were very timely for me to use for the goal I had set for my 21day Miracle training (meditation part) and dokaibe so beneficial for activating meridian points and sooo very relaxing. It always make me wonder how to use further all these healing tools available at the center, now I have a much more expanded knowledge which I will be able to share in healing others.

Thank you Master Kim for visiting Seattle once again. We look forward to your next training. We enjoyed your trainings very much!

We had a blast to start the year off this month at Harbor Steps. Yesterday (January 27th). Healers, pre-healers, pre-sabumnims and myungsanims came for the Tao Fellowship Training led by Master Han. As you know his trainings have always been a very awakening experience! Then we had the YEHA/Phoenix Project training following and DahnMuDo practice afterward with Master Oh.

We also started the YEHA/Phoenix Project Silent Auction. Check out some very interesting, unique items on display at our Harbor Steps center donated by some of the Masters, Myungsas and Healers.

Have a beautiful day with our Winter Wonderland!

Love,
Delia

Hi My HS beautiful fellows,

I will continue to fulfill my 1st goal (spiritual-connecting with my True/HigherSelf), will keep trying with my 2nd goal(physical-to be hydrated) and will start a 3rd one (be more organized, so I can be more of service).

I trust you are all doing well with yours and have been benefitting and having fun at the same time in fulfilling your goals.

Dear Harbor Steps members and Dahn practitioners,

How have you been!? HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am dropping by to share with you about what has been one of the highlights at Dahnyoga centers these days.. As you know the next term for the 21day Miracle training will start on the 7th of January (very soooon) and the deadline to buy your certificates will be by the 7th as you need to type in a code for access to special areas in the website -ilchi.com-

I had my resistance before I joined this currently going on term– you know, things like too busy with the upcoming holidays and work, work, work..no time to log on to the internet..my place needs decluttering.. how am i going to survive with another thing added to my list to do…i can’t think of anything to change…etc..etc..

Guess what, with Master Soo’s coaching (thanks, Master Soo) I signed up for it and nearing now to the end of the 21day. My usual busy schedule hasn’t changed, but because I incorporated a habit/goal which would actually take only less than an hour of my time a day, I am able to look at the same old stuffs of busyness in a much lighter disposition. With the conscious plan of setting one’s goals and putting them into action make so much difference in how to specifically direct one’s focus and energy. If one sets or commits to do something, your brain would actually and fully work to accomplish the goal. One member I admired so much was her discipline to stay away from sugar for 50 days, I found that remarkable!

Other examples are:
-doing 50 push-ups everyday and 150 by the end of 21days
-drinking 8 glasses of water everyday
-no chocolate for 21 days
-become vegetarian for 21 days
-saying only positive things
-go to bed before midnight and wake up early by 6am
-will not drink coffee or go to Starbucks
-quit smoking
-walk the dog everyday
-loose weight
-do sleeping tiger for 10 minutes a day and up to 30minutes by the end of 21day
-be on time with all my appointments
-no watching tv
(anything else you can think of to what you would like to change–quoting from one of the wisest ever lived on Earth,
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Ghandi. Dr. Ilchi Lee in this generation is helping us to put this into action by creating the 21day Miracle as it takes about 21 days to break a habit.)

With the 21day Miracle, one can get support from groups online, from others who may also be working on the same goals as you or getting rid of similar unpleasant habits. We also plan on having our own meeting at the center (we will keep you posted on this one).

Please visit Ilchi.com, click on Groups, then type in Harbor Steps, click Harbor Steps and you will see us there, the members who have already joined in. The sharings from everyone, not just from our Harbor Steps group, but also from Kirkland Center and from other groups statewide have been inspiring. The website has so many valuable informations directly from Dr. Ilchi Lee himself.

Also, please visit www.dahnyogawashington.com for more information on what is going on (blogs) about the 21-day Miracle and about our dahn practice in the Washington area and from dahn centers statewide.

For added bonus, we will give you an aura reading with your $21 certificate. Isn’t that a wonderful deal!!!! If you wish to obtain certificates, you may email me (yogamudo@aol.com) or drop by at Harbor Steps center or your local centers by January 7th…Gampsahamnida…

Let’s keep growing and improving ourselves for the year 2008!

The Harbor Steps staffs and I wish you all the best of great health, lots of luck, blessings and prosperity!

Love,

Happy New Year everyone! How were your holidays and 21-Day practice?

So many times I was so tempted to give in to just go right to bed at night without completing the goals I had set. With even more hectic schedule the last few weeks of the year (I am sure you were in the same boat as I did), I felt rather tired and unmotivated to include my 21day Miracle goals to an already fully booked day’s activities for the holiday seasons.

Needless to say, I am still at it with no regrets and will keep pushing more to do my goals everyday with only the few days left. I was feeling at times an alarming release and resurfacing of physical and emotional symptoms from past injuries (some from this present life, others could be perhaps from past lifetimes). I am now feeling much lighter these days and even more sensitive with energy. The challenge and realization is– how to connect with the Source (God, Chunjikiwoon, Higher Self, Universal Force, Cosmic Energy, Ultimate Source, Multiverse, the Light, the Heavens-whatever one would prefer to call it) every moment, especially when in the midst of endless tasks to be done and activities to attend to. To consciously set aside even just a few moments a day to my practice/meditation, even for just that brief moment of tuning out everything else, has been a treasure to connect me to what is ‘real’. I found that the “Essence”, essence is the point of it all.

Let’s keep going with our 21-day Miracle training. Thank you Dr. Ilchi Lee for creating such life-changing Miracle training! www.ilchi.com

I wish you all a Blessed New Year filled with the very essence of continues creation and spiritual growth!

Love and joy,
Delia

Our 21-Day Miracle Training number of members are expected to grow for the next term in January 2008 at Harbor Steps Center. Please visit our newly formed Harbor Steps group at Ilchi.com to read some of the group’s bulletin who could be working on the same goals as you do. The Kirkland Center group has been very successful in starting us off in the Washington area, thank you for your inspiring stories and energies! Let’s keep rolling!!!

Ask any DahnYoga Center staffs at Harbor Steps or any DahnYoga local centers near you on how to start and participate. You may also inquire from any Dahn Members who are currently doing their 21-Day Miracle to get a feel of what it is like to be a participant, in being with a support group to accomplish one’s goals. This will be a good time and opportunity to participate, as we pursuit with our New Year’s Resolutions. The upcoming term will start soon, on the 7th of January.

Lots of blessings, love, abundance, determination and vitality for 2008!

Please Bring your food Items to 1300 Post Alley Seattle Wa 98101 or anyother center

I just got back from a 2-day workshop (Dec 8-9, 2007), Brain Education for Enhanced Learning and learned, experienced so many things on how much more we can use our brain, how the brain works, seeing it in a much deeper and expanded level and experienced various fun exercises to awaken the brain. Master Nora was an amazing trainer/teacher with such ‘big’ heart! I came to a better understanding on what it is like to have a powerbrain. Together with the other participants, we had so much fun with Master Nora and Master Jo! We laughed until our belly ached. We became more aware of our physical, mental strengths, power of concentration/focus and many other exercises that can be applied to our daily lives to become ultimately what we want to be. I highly recommend this workshop! Though it was snowing early in the morning on the second day, that did not keep us from coming to finish the workshop. BE makes the ways in learning so much fun and relaxed. I finished the workshop learning much more about myself, my powerbrain and more motivated in setting goals and visions. Thanks, Master Nora for an amazing weekend, and wholesome workshop! I plan to take the 7-day BE Leadership in the future!!! “ I LOVE MY BRAIN!” “THANK YOU, POWERBRAIN!”

Have you ever wondered why some people have so much energy, feel lighter, smile a lot, calm and centered? It is not a secret. It is not in the bottle. It is not in a can or a box wrapped with a beautiful bow. It is not having a new pair of shoes or a brand new car. You don’t have to look farther than what is already in you that holds a lot of possibilities. Those of you who had practiced this form of exercise know what I am talking about- YES! It is your DAHNJON, specifically lower dahnjon, 2 inches below the belly button and 2 inches inside, this is our physical core. By having a strong dahnjon, one is able to circulate the energy in the body in the proper direction; therefore, resulting in a ‘warm belly and a cool head’ rather than the other way around. So do you now see why so many out there are easily stressed, angry, anxious, have high blood pressure, headaches, think too much, having upset stomachs, indigestion and many other unpleasant symptoms? It is because the heat energy is up in their head while the cold energy is in their belly. At DahnYoga, one experiences many valuable tools that can be use in daily lives in terms of strengthening the dahnjon, accumulating and circulating the energy. I have seen how this worked many times over from hundreds of members I have observed and taught, and in my own personal experiences with my body, mind, spirit and energy. Usually members come to class bringing with them low energy, soreness here and there, stressed, and lethargic from a day’s work. But after the class, they are surprisingly again energized, invigorated, happy and centered as if they’re just starting to take on the day.

Too good to be true? Well, experience it for yourself! Try DahnYoga at HarborSteps or at a local center near you. Harbor Steps is at the heart of Downtown Seattle, across Seattle Art Museum, a walking distance to the Seattle Waterfront and the famous Pike Place Market. Many tourists from out of state and overseas wheather here for a visit or conference have tried even for just drop-ins and they loved it! Visit www.dahnyoga.com
I wish for you “Happy, Strong and Healthy Dahnjon!”
