Dahn Yoga Essentials

I have been in Dahn Yoga for two years. When I started I was not in very good physical shape and weighed more than I wanted to. I had survived cancer, a messy divorce, was a single mother – working, raising kids, going to night school, dealing with a lot, and trying to keep it all together. I was drawn to the calming exercise of yoga and I really enjoyed it. I loved meditation – I was so amazed by the energy I felt and the calm and relaxation after class. My body condition improved little by little. I learned to smile and look at the world in a more positive way. I started sharing what I learned with others and volunteered to teach a class at my workplace as a stress-reduced for my coworkers. Today my supervisor remarked on my sunny disposition and how I always manage to stay on top of things no matter how crazy the work gets – he said but you’ve just got that kind of disposition, don’t you? I said no, not always, yoga taught me to be calm and stay in control. In my head I was thinking of how depressed and irresistible I used to be a lot of the time and how much of the anger I have let go of through what I have learned at Dahn Yoga. I am a much happier person, I feel like more my real self, without all the “baggage” I used to carry around. – Lynn Riggs from Kirkland, WA

I found a blog post at idealawg written by a woman lawyer who discovered Brain Wave Vibration and Dahn Mu. She says, “I was intrigued because I often move to music in a way that is improvisational. Guess Dahn Mu comes to some people (maybe many? most?) naturally.”

In fact, if you relax enough and allow your body to move without judging it, Dahn Mu comes naturally to everybody. Both of these Dahn Yoga exercises developed by Ilchi Lee are characterized by free-form movement. Practitioners get in touch with their own inner energy and then flow with it. And as the lawyer pointed out in her post, they both help reduce stress, get creative, and gain energy.

Click here to see the example she gives of Ilchi Lee performing Dahn Mu.

And here’s another example that is slightly choreographed, but that I appreciate because it is not by a master on a stage, but by Dahn Yoga members at their center:

Have you tried Dahn Mu or Brain Wave Vibration? How did it make you feel?

Everything is vibrating. Vibration itself is a natural life phenomenon. The natural vibration help us  opening blockage inside of our body. It also applies to our brain. But in case of brain, we’d better use the power of imagination. Because it is a little bit difficult to ignite the natural vibration in our brain rather than other parts of body we can shake. So imagine the brain wave in your brain .

1.Breathe comfortably in a comfortable posture.

2.If it is availabe, lie down to let your lower back touch the floor lightly

3.Imagine a brain wave such as a natural vibration wave like when we are relaxed

4.Imagine the brain wave vibrating with a comfortable and natural breath

5.Then some part of your body may start light-vibrating. Just let it go. Keep it for a couple of minutes.

This ‘Brain wave vibration’ can be effective for release of emotion not just good for physical body. Because we are in a certain negative emotion, the brain wave is not natural. As we keep the natural vibration, the negative emotion will be gone. It is a kind of ‘Brain Management’

I just learned that there is a new DVD coming out from Dahn Yoga. It’s called Dahn Yoga for MS. There was some clips from the video on youtube, click the following link or go to www.youtube.com and search for Dahn Yoga for MS for the preview. I just watched and it looks great.  I think it will be beneficial for everyone who needs gentle approach such as fibromyalgia and cancer patients as well as MS patients.
