Dahn Yoga Wiki
Phil on Aug 18th 2009
Human beings arc unique among the inhabitants of Earth we are simultaneously Earth-bound and divine. You have pronahiy noticed how vast human behavior can differ, ranging trom the person who gives all in service of others to the one who violently uses and abuses other people. This is because we are simultaneously Earth’s people and heavens people. Our upright stature—with our head in the sky and our feet on the ground— is a symbolic reminder of this.
The true self is the part of you that knows there is more to life than just the surface level of this world. It is the part of you that urges you to choose according to your highest self.
However, through life we develop more and more attachment to this physical world, and the voice of the true self becomes muffled. Fortunately, we have been given the struggles and obstacles of life to help us remember who we are.

Dahn Yoga Essentials And Life
Phil on Aug 13th 2009
Every stitch is like a thought that you add to the overall shape of your life. Eventually, thoughts lead to action and the form will emerge, if you can only keep your intent in mind. If you have no clear vision, however, you will end up with a random pile of knotted yarn.
Everything I have achieved in my life happened one stitch at a time. I began with just one single student, and every step that followed was like a carefully placed stitch. Eventually, my plan began to emerge as a whole, just like a sweater takes form.
The key is to keep the big picture always in mind, even when it seems so far away. In my life, I have faced many moments that could have destroyed me. I could have gotten lost in the details of those events and become swept away by the emotions that them. I have come to realize, however, that life no matter how difficult, are only temporary role to play in the world outside us. The true self, on the other hand, is the higher you, the essential and unchanging part of you. It craves the highest forms of human interaction, such as unconditional love and harmonious unity with others. The struggles of life stem from lack of accord between these two selves a predicament that arises from humanity’s unique place in the universe.

“The Heaven”

Through deep meditation, what we will get ?
Maybe it’s ’the heaven’
Ilchi Lee’s Inspiration from Wisdom of Chun Bu Kyung

/Chun/ Heaven, Sky
From the boundless heavens, which are not hindered by anything, learn to have an open heart. Look to the heavens, empty and so able to encompass all things, and learn to have a great heart full of courage, not obsessed with the small things in life.

About Dahn Yoga

About Dahn Yoga
Dahn Yoga is similar to other forms of mind-body training, but can be distinguished by three unique characteristics:
THE MASTERY AND USE OF ENERGY
Energy is a defining element in Dahn Yoga because it is considered to be the medium that unites body and mind. Practitioners develop a deeper understanding of their bodies through energy while experiencing directly the connection between mind and body and strengthening communication between the two.
From the perspective of energy, Dahn Yoga is made up of five stages: initiating, accumulating, controlling, commanding, and completing. Practitioners first learn how to feel and accumulate energy in the major energy centers of the body. As the sense of energy gradually develops, formerly blocked energy channel open up, promoting circulation of energy throughout the body. Once able to control and command energy, practitioners experience natural healing in their bodies while gaining control of emotions and habits.
It is possible to follow Dahn Yoga training without feeling energy. However, when practitioners feel energy, they experience the true character of Dahn Yoga and, more than anything else, the training itself becomes more joyful and grows into a multidimensional experience.
ENHANCING THE BODY-BRAIN CONNECTION
Dahn Yoga contends that the brain is not simply an organ, but is, in fact, the center of the whole human body and its energy system. Through the various Dahn Yoga programs, practitioners can learn to utilize their brain fully toward the creation of a better life for themselves and those around them. However, the power of the brain is not limited to individual] and personal development. Just as the human brain can create strife and intolerance in the world, so too can it create a peaceful, healthy society.
SELF-MANAGED, HOLISTIC HEALTH CARE
The Dahn Yoga program includes principles and techniques for improving emotional patterns, as well as physical condition. In particular, it has many elements that improve the quality at social interaction and communication skills. It is also helpful for correcting unhealthy habits, such as smoking, overeating, and the like. As will be explained in greater detail later, the key principles of Dahn Yoga and its systematic methods of training make this possible.
