I found some touching sharings in the Fall 2004 issue of body & brain magazine, which is no longer published. (I happen to have many old copies available to me and they are an invaluable resource of holistic health information.)
I want to pass these on to you because I think they touch upon the essence of Dahn Yoga:
“In class I get a sensation of peace all over. I feel present in the moment, not so distracted by the chatter in my head.” (Anonymous, Bethesda, MD center member)
“I feel Dahnhak [older name of Dahn Yoga meaning the philosophy and study of energy] has increased my awareness compared to other things I practiced before. I feel more connected and solid. I feel I am not so much in the head, and the strength is amazing.” (Jakarta Kahlsa, Bronx Dahn Yoga Center who the article says has practiced many kinds of mind-body training)
“I love sharing with the members because I am always amazed how we really are no different, how we are really just ‘one.’ Connecting through breath, mind, body, the connection of energy, the connection of being one with ourselves and others–this is the gift of understanding that I have received. So each day is a gift of life, a chance to accept that I am a child of the universe, that we are all children of the universe.” (Christine Kilavos, Bronx Dahn Yoga Center member)
Dahn yoga has produce a profound state of union for me. An open-mindedness and general well-being I feel for others.
When in Seattle I also go to the Ashram in Kirland.
Namaste,
John

Whether it is summer or winter, you can help regulate your mood with daily Dahn Yoga exercises such as Brain Wave Vibration.
