Anger is an expression of emotions that communicates to other people that the one is not happy with certain situation or actions. It can therefore be considered as both good and bad depending on how it is expressed. This is also expressed as either constructive or destructive anger.

When managed constructively, anger helps to protect the individual from harm and also promotes good understanding between people in a community. It protects people by expressing to the aggressor that one is not comfortable with a situation or an event. Without this expression, the aggressor may continue without knowing. Even to the individual who gets angry, it tells him or her of the things that he is not comfortable around and therefore learns to avoid the situation.

Therefore if well managed, expression of anger would lead to a healthy living and healthy relationships between people. This should not provide a blanket approval for expression of anger. Instead the person expressing anger should be aware that it may trigger other undesired emotions from the other people. Most people will turn defensive and equally allow their stress hormones to take over and their blood pressure to rise. Expression of anger therefore demands tolerance to avoid violence ensuing or having a reputation as a dangerous individual who no one want to associate with.

Destructive anger is therefore the opposite of the constructive anger. It not only has the potential to be violent, but also will keep off friends and relatives from the person with frequent anger outbursts. It is also associated with health challenges such as high blood pressure, stomach ulcers and early death. Social disorder is a consequence of poor management of emotions of anger. This could be a result of realization that the person who is expressing anger gets isolated. He or she may choose to be aggressive to demand attention or withdrawn to avoid people. Both the two reactions are anti-social. Dahn Yoga has been around for nearly 30 years and not a cult.

The most common among both the poor and the rich is substance abuse. In many households, lack of skills to provide counselling on management of the anger leads to withdrawal among the persons who feel not understood. Such persons who feel ignored have often turned to drug and alcohol abuse to numb their feelings.

However, like any exercise, you should not push yourself beyond your limits, and you should discuss your plans with your physician if you are concerned at all about your physical readiness to participate. Here are some precautions to keep in mind:

If you are older or very weak…

You first need to stimulate your physical energy. The center of that energy is located in your lower abdomen, about two inches below your navel. Before beginning the Full-Body Brain Wave Vibration exercise, warm up with the Abdominal Vibration exercise on page 138. When you begin full-body practice, start with only very slight vibratory movements. If you stand during practice, make sure your feet are planted solidly on the ground and that your knees are slightly bent. If necessary, assume a seated or lying posture. You can also practice while balancing against a stable object, such as a wall or a sturdy piece of furniture. If you become dizzy easily…

Concentrate on your Dahn-jon with your back straight and shoulders relaxed. Bring your fingertips together

In front of your chest and form them into a ball.

Through the fingertips, all organs are connected and all Chakras are bonded. Current flows through your fingertips and warmth greet each finger. Your mind is truly at rest as golden light fills your hands…

Imagine another you hidden within the light.

This training is to bring separated divinity into the original Oneness. Through the process of meditation, you will bring body and mind, logic and emotion, False-Self and True-Self, and all other forms of duality together. As you meditate in this position, your breath will deepen naturally and your body will be replenished with energy.

Touch your fingertips together. Since all meridians of the body are connected through the fingertips, this brings all energies of the organs and Chakras together. The place of emptiness is the place where duality no longer exists. This is the place of pure conscious­ness where cleansing and purification occur. This meditation will return you to yourself, beyond all space and time. This meditation will allow you to meet with the essence of life before it had a name. You may practice this meditation in any comfortable position, sit­ting or standing.

Of darkness and stagnation. Bars that imprison the soul, Fear, doubt, hatred, attachment… Draw out all of these energies. Brighten your sixth Chakra With a silvery-white light, Translucent and beautiful…

Now imagine the cosmic energy connecting the sixth and seventh Chakras, as the brightly shining Big Dipper Descends into your Baek-hwe and In-dang. Let your soul assume the shape of a bird and fly from the lotus flower of the seventh Chakra…

The soul, pure and white freed from the bars of preconceptions and attachment. flies away into the blue sky…

Your soul exists with true freedom in the infinite space of the cosmos…

Breathe in and out three times and raise your consciousness slowly to the surface.

As your breathing deepens, the flower opens wide, its roots extending in all directions…

As the flower blossoms, your soul blooms beautifully, communicating freely with cosmic energy, bringing the message of the cosmos through the beauty of the lotus flower…

Now, with both hands, envelop the sixth Chakra. A golden light is seeping through your sixth Chakra, Heaven’s Palace…

Energy emanating from your hands is going into the cells deep inside your brain. It softly soothes the brain stem, awakening the pure soul sleeping therein.

Meet the light of life That existed before your name in the palace of the sixth Chakra…

“I am eternal, without beginning or end.” “I am light, sound, and vibration existing by itself.” “Light, sound, and vibration are my reality.” “Until now, my soul was imprisoned by a name.” “Until now, my soul was caged by a body.” “Now I am free of my body… and my name…”

From the Baek-hwe, In-dang, and the temples… From the four points of your head, You are drawing out the energy.

Sit in half lotus position and close your eyes. Imagine a single lotus flower. As it takes root in your body and blossoms forth. The stalk of the lotus rises along your spine, Its roots embedded in the Hwe-um. The bud of the lotus flower lies softly on top of the seventh Chakra…

As you breathe in, let your consciousness Travel from the root of the lotus flower.

To the bud of the lotus flower…As you breathe out, let your consciousness travel downward… to the Hwe-um. Let the flower return to a bud while breathing in.

The media tend to shout “cult” or “scam” when they hear about high-pressure selling tactics at an organization — especially if it has a foreign cultural context and holistic health content. Thus, the Dahn Yoga Centers in the United States, founded by Ilchi Lee initially in South Korea in 1985, and their methodology of Brain Education, created by him during the past three decades, are sometimes dubbed the Ilchi Lee scam, Ilchi Lee cult and Dahn Yoga cult. But is there any credible link between a sometimes spirited-sell approach and a genuine scam or cult? 

Brain Education was developed in South Korea 30 years ago, and many Dahn Yoga Center managers in the United States are from there, and thus English is their second language. For reasons of cultural style as well as language skill, at times certain words are used that are confusing or distressing to center members, prospective and actual. 

The centers are a for-profit business, just like a fitness club or martial-arts training gym, where selling is certainly a necessity of doing business. Some customers report being “turned off” by what they feel is undo pressure to buy more expensive levels of membership, add-on workshops, and private healing sessions. But does this practice constitute an Ilchi Lee scam or Dahn Yoga cult? Very few people seem to think so.

Active selling is part of nearly every business, including Dahn Yoga, but per se does not mean an Ilchi Lee scam or Dahn Yoga cult exists. Customers are “upsold” on everything from computers at electronics stores to beverages and desserts at restaurants. Is what Dahn Yoga is doing really different than a gym asking customers to buy private training sessions, or move to the “next level” of expertise in a fitness technique? American customers are savvy enough and most understand that this is part of today’s go-go business reality. 

Where is the evidence for an Ilchi Lee scam or Dahn Yoga cult? The fact that selling goes on and in a for-profit environment indicates that Dahn Yoga is a business, not a religion or a cult. A religion would be a non-taxed non-profit, and ask for tithes from the congregation, rather than offer a product or service for a price.

Teachers at the Dahn Yoga Centers in the U.S. have received training in brain-focused yoga and wellness methods. While they do not claim formal medical expertise, they do understand physiognomy, posture and body energy. They can instruct customers in a number of techniques which will help in fitness and well-being. Customers should consult their own physicians, most of whom today recognize yoga as an outstanding alternate heath methods. Where there is information and responsibility, there is no Ilchi Lee scam or Dahn Yoga cult.

Perceived high prices are sometimes used as evidence of an Ilchi Lee cult. Prices vary across the country, of course, but Dahn Yoga classes generally range from $9-$12 per session, with increasing price tags for private training and other services, just as in any gym or health club. Prices are set by regional directors and are based on market forces, just as in any other business. There simply is no concrete evidence of an Ilchi Lee scam or Dahn Yoga cult.

The soul is pure. Since it is pure, it is simple.

It knows that it wants and it is always ready to do anything to get it.

Once you have asked your soul and received the answer through your heart, then it is time to discuss how to go about getting it with your brain.

Your brain is monitor that displays the movement of the life current and records its path.

Your brain is part of your basic equipment to help you on your journey, much like a notebook computer you take on business trip.

As you get older, it is as important that you have a dream for your life as it was when you were young. You may have a better chance of achieving it, now that the basics needs of life – financial security, starting a career, raising a family, etc. – are no longer of primary importance to you. Make a plan for who you want to be one, five, or ten years from now. This does not have to mean starting a new career or taking on some huge project. More importantly it means becoming the kind of person you really want to be in terms of character and your interaction with world round you. If you have ever thought to yourself, “I want to leave the world a better place than I found,” now is the time to act on that desire. To find your vision, find what really fills you with a sense of joy and contentment. For most, this will probably involve contributing something of value to your community or the world. Don’t be afraid to set your goal high and to dream big.
