Dahn Yoga Essentials

Hello Ballinger Dahn Yoga Members!

How is everyone doing?

I hope you are HEALTHY AND HAPPY!

Inside health is deeper connection to our brains and bodies. When this circuitry is too messed up and complicated….we will always feel some emptiness. Connecting to yourself is the most important thing in the world and without yourself you have nothing.

Please don’t miss the opportunity to connect with yourself through the classes and trainings….it is a special gift that most people do not even have the chance. Please do not miss out on the purest most bright and beautiful gift from the universe of your TRUE SELF**

This Sunday we have Dahn Mu Do Healing Martial Art workshop 9-6.30 at Ballinger. Confirmed: Molly, Kristal, Myron, Richard….connect to the universe through this deep healing martial art training, don’t miss chance because we don’t have very often. (if you want to come please call me asap)

Also, Initial Awakening, 9-6.30 at Kirkland: Rose, Lita, Angelike, Jenifer will take this first deep and foundation step to create their center in their bodies and lives!

Right now (Sat noon) we have Twitney Healer Nims BE Kids Open Class, which is awesome and building up momentum…. just imagine the future, your kids or grandkids…..learning this kind of care and love of their mind and body just naturally through education….seems like a great dream right!!! So we have to take the REAL LIFE STEPS to make that happen…if you really have a dream then you take action step by step.

So if you truly feel that the classes are helping you….please show by coming and by introducing this kind of thing to your kids or friends….when HOPE MEETS HOPE THERE IS MIRACLE!!!

Sending bright energy out to everyone!

EVEN AS A SMALL CHILD, You witnessed the healing power of your brain stem at work. If you scraped your knee, you could watch day-by-day as your body repaired itself, eventually becoming a brand new patch of skin. This kind of phenomenon, although commonplace, is really quite miraculous.

But what does the brain stem have to do with all this? Your brain stem is like a hidden conductor of the great symphony that makes up the intricate systems of your body. Without any conscious direction from you, it sends out messages to the body telling your heart how fast to beat, commanding your white blood cells to spring into action, directing your digestive system to go to work, and coordinating a myriad of other bodily functions that continuously support your health and well-being.

The role of the brain stem is essentially to maintain your state of equilibrium. The body is designed to maintain a consistent state of health. You could say that any prolonged disease represents lack of equilibrium in the body.

So then why do things sometimes break down? Occasionally it is because of invaders, like viruses and bacteria, that the body is just not equipped to face. But, as you know, this is not the scenario that most people in modern society face. Humanity has learned a lot about controlling these invaders. The great majority of the diseases of modern society, as you probably already know, are the result of lifestyle rather than some outside influence. In a way, through the choices we habitually make, we get in the wav of our brain stem, and it never really has the chance to do its job.

A long time ago, Hippocrates said, “Everyone has a doctor within him or her; we just have to help it with its work.” Brain Wave Vibration is one way to get out of the way so that a deeper level of healing can begin.

On Thursday, June 18, Kirkland Dahn Yoga hosted a special class for Iranian peace. In the middle of violence and turmoil in Iran, Roxy, who is a member at Dahn Yoga and will take an instructor course, had an idea to spread peaceful energy for Iran through a class. The class was offered at 9pm and 5 people participated even with very short notice (the notice went out on the very same day)! The class was offered by Roxy in the typical Dahn Yoga class style with short prayers and meditation for Iran.  On Friday, June 19, there will be a candle light vigil at Red square, University of Washington campus for Iran.

It is easy to get discouraged in today’s world. There are many human problems that dominate our headlines and preoccupy our minds. It can seem like the world is getting increasingly worse. There is no doubt that we need to change our ways or risk serious consequences.  …  The most effective action you can take is to act on your own true nature, and soon others will do the same when they are rady. Go beyond the world of thought, put your true nature into action, and the rest of the world will follow. – from Brain Wave Vibration book by Ilchi Lee

The reality is that old age by itself does not guarantee a loss of brain function.
True, recent research shows that people with a certain gene are more
likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease or lose memory function. However,
the same study shows that diabetes and heart disease carry the identical
risk, and as we have said, these are diseases of lifestyle. It has become clear
after decades of research that physical wellness, lifestyle, weight, diet, and
exercise are far more important factors in brain health than genetics or age.

Age is not a choice; healthy living is. The lifestyle choices we make today
play a large role in determining how sharp our minds and memories will be
tomorrow.

April 9, 2008

Before I started Dahn, several life events combined to create depression and a number of physical challenges.  I retired from a 45-year working career, my sister had a major mental break, and my aged mother passed away.  Arthritis, a couple of degenerated discs in my back, and soft tissue damage from a car wreck 40 years prior made getting out of bed in the morning very painful.  I’d walk bent over from the waist for a few minutes before standing up strait.  The Chiropractor and I had standing appointments 10 days apart.  Activity always attracted me, but with pain and without a routine to follow inactivity took over, and I lost interest in life.  Even thought I didn’t do much, I was tired all the time.  The local senior center offered free access to physical fitness machines, but somehow I couldn’t get up and out the door by 10:30 a.m. to drive (not walk) 2 miles and take advantage of those machines.

It’s interesting how my membership came about.  Since the story is long, I’ll just say that on 3 different occasions the subject of Dahn Yoga came up.  The final was at a Body, Mind, Spirit expo where my girl friend and I signed up for an Energy checkup.  Interestingly, we both bought memberships and she went to just 1 class.  I am happily still with Dahn 3-1/2 years later.  The drive to the Kirkland Center is often an hour each way, but I’m able to get up and be there at least 3 times a week.

Within 2 weeks of beginning Dahn I noticed an amazing increase in my energy level.  I painted walls 13’ high from a ladder.  I felt alive again.  My many women friends asked “What are you doing, Leanne?  You’re glowing!”  I’d say “It’s Yoga”. There is no Dahn Yoga center near us, but now 5 of those friends are taking some form of yoga because they’ve seen how much Dahn did for me. 

On the physical level, I noticed an immediate improvement in my back.  I could get out of bed!  (I’ve been to see the chiropractor only 5 times in the past 3-1/2 years!)  Something, else, my eyesight improved.  I went from a 2.50 magnification to a 1.25 magnification.  I gained back 1-inch in height I’d lost.  Energy filled me up.  My body changed.  Weighing the same as I had 6 years before, I lost 19-1/2 inches in my arms, thighs, waist and bust.  I am wearing clothes I wore 20 lbs. less than I am now.

On an emotional, level traffic has always been a challenge for me.  I’d be angry or anxious, frustrated and impatient.  I mentioned a 1-hour drive.  Well, that drive is only 20 miles, so you can imagine how congested it is.  Before, I’d be mad and/or angry.  Thanks to Dahn something switched.  Now, it just doesn’t bother me.  I still move in and out and do my best to find the lane that’s moving, only it isn’t a contest or a personal insult any more.  I’m relaxed.  It’s just traffic.  It hasn’t changed, but I have.  A number of personal issues from long ago have resolved themselves, come full circle.  Thanks to the various programs Ilchi Lee created at Dahn, I don’t feel guilt or shame for not succeeding in some life choices a long time ago.  I carried those failures for years, and now I’m free. That freedom improved my self esteem to the place where I felt good enough to start internet dating.  I’m now in a serious relationship with a gentle, kind, thoughtful, funny gentleman.

Meditation calms and centers me.  I value the serenity.  Dahn practice teaches me that there are many ways to meditate, and the exercises we do in class take me right into a meditative state.  It seems that when I start my day with meditation, everything goes better.  Little things don’t bother me, and I handle big stuff better.  I was a typical Type ‘A’ personality, and now am a Type ‘B’.

Dahn Foundation is hosting a HSP Outreach Instructor’s Training for Dahn members who want to reach out to the community. Anyone who is interested in volunteering in any forms is welcome. It will be at Harbor Steps center, 9am to 6pm. Some members are already reaching out by teaching a class to seniors, juniors, and kids, just the way Ilchi Lee started teaching Dahn Yoga at a small community park more than 20 years ago. The fee is $30, coming with t-shirts and a handbook and the money is a donation to Dahn Foundation, a non-profit organization supported by Dahn Yoga. If you are interested in, let your center instructors know~

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!
