Earth Ki-Gong Workshop in New Mexico

We love the Earth

Dahn Yoga members from all around New Mexico gathered to celebrate Earth Day and the spirit of ‘Mago’ through an intense Ki-Gong workshop. The workshop was led by Instructor Jung Ae Kim, black-belt Dahn Mu Do, and regional director of Dahn Yoga New Mexico.

Ki-Gong, the exercise of life’s vital energy, includes methods of accumulating, circulating, and working with the Ki energy in the body. A happy and peaceful mind is the result.

Earth day was a perfect time to gather and focus on our bodies as a part of this earth. Earth is the provider of all sustanance. We all should have a sense of ownership and guardianship over our body and our precious planet. Ki-gong develops that sense of ownership. Through the practice a feeling of well being and an abundance of emotion surfaces; emotions like appreciation for the air we breath, the unconditional support we receive from this earth, and an understanding that we are connected to everyone and everything. We are all earth citizens, first and foremost, before we are man or woman, black or white, American or Korean. If we would live our lives from this belief  we could create a healthier, happier, and more peaceful world.

New Year’s day in New Mexico is celebrated with the Prayer of Peace.

The Peace Dove

The Peace Dove

All of the Dahn Yoga and Body + Brain centers in New Mexico participated in a worldwide event to actively declare the intention to create peace in 2011 by reading founder, Ilchi Lee’s, Prayer of Peace. Special classes were held at each center. Members reflected on the past and looked forward to the future. It was a great way to usher in the New Year with a sincere mind. The Prayer of Peace was read out loud at the end of each session. We gathered as ‘Earth Humans’ with a sincere desire to create peace and freedom in this troubled world.

Here are a few impressions from the people that participated.

“I was so happy to be a part of this global event. I felt the power of so many people around the world saying the prayer on the same day. Surely the consciousness of humanity was raised.”

“The ‘Prayer of Peace’ is timeless and yet so perfect for this time on earth. It made me cry to see the world in such turmoil, but I also felt a great sense of hope that there are those who gather to create a better reality.”

“I am an Earth Citizen first and foremost!”

“What a great way to celebrate a new year. The training and prayer gave a deeper meaning to my New Year’s Resolutions. I want more than to loose a few pounds. I want the earth to heal.”
