Energy

It’s pretty cool that we have this energy running through our body–so many things are within us.  If I watch myself like an objective observer, i can see so many emotions, thoughts, dreams, desires, it’s like a whole universe inside!

talking

sometimes i have a hard time talking to people–i feel what needs to be said but it is entirely different when it comes out of my mouth–i think that is where i see quite a difference between what my mind wants and what my body does.  I would like to close that gap.  i think [...]

is there right and wrong?

We live in a dichotomous culture, about right vs. wrong?  But is something really right and something really wrong?  I think something can be right and wrong in the moment, but in the grand scheme of things, everything is okay and everything is learning….but how can war be right?  Any thoughts….

judging and assessing

I like to evaluate my actions and see how I could do things differently or better so the next time I can make better results.  But sometimes I feel like I judge myself instead of just assessing myself and I feel bad.  My energy goes to my head and I feel depressed, making myself wrong [...]

Three needs

At Dahn yoga I was told that people operate from one of three places.  The need for safety, the need for control and the need for recognition.  I thought to myself that it was an interesting theory but not true for me.  Then I started noticing how a lot of my habits were coming from [...]

my life is a movie

I have learned to watch myself through taking training at Dahn Yoga.  And what I have learned is that I am pretty amazing really.  I have adopted some interesting habits that use so much energy for things that really don’t matter.  It can be really painful watching yourself I think.  But that is only when [...]

It wasn’t until i started dahn yoga that i was able to begin to use my energy.  Before, I was too afraid to do [...]

Ballet Hang Gong

Since I was very young, I trained in ballet, jazz and lyrical dance. My favorite exercise has always been ballet bar. When I came to dahn yoga, I realized that the reason I enjoyed ballet bar so much is because as I was working through my foot and balance routines, I was meditating — the [...]

we are all one

When I first started the dahn practice, I didn’t understand the phrase, “We are all one.” I pretty much separated myself from people and thought I had my issues and others had their issues.  But the more I practice, and experience dahn yoga, and feel my body, the more I can experience, not only know, [...]

Training using Ilchi Lee principals

My problem was complete disorientation in life, lost interest in the world around me.  I was under stress at work and all other obligations and responsibilities that I was not very productive in anything and did not enjoy my life.  I had an idea that I need to change everything, even to get a new [...]
