This is from Songs of Englightenment by Ilchi Lee
A Poet

And the poem will breathe.
I like this poem a lot!

Although I can see the empty air,
why can’t I get there?
The hummingbird can’t find its way.
The world of plaintive windows.
Obviously,
I can recognize the world beyond there.
Why can’t I reach it?

One of my coolest experiences after a dahn yoga training is actually feeling how busy my mind is. I could actually feel my thoughts moving faster than my body. I was in my house and I was resting, and I could actually feel how fast everything was going. My body was just there in the [...]

Through my self practice of Ilchi Lee’s Dahnmudo I experienced a blissful joy inside of me that no matter what I did stayed. It lasted for 3 days at that time and it actually came naturally from the body. There was no special meditation or thought that I had to do. The only thing was [...]

Ilchi Lee’s main focus is the brain for creating world peace. Common sense right. If we use our brain the worlds problems can be resolved naturally.

Delayed menstration can be due to many things. However, if you have been doing the Dahn exercise regularly and consistently, then it can be a sign of release. Certain areas become uncomfortable or painful, which we called “MyungHyun(dahn yoga )”. After this phase, it gets released and you will feel better.

There is a question in the “Dear Byukwoon” section about how can I help others grow spiritually. His answer resonates with me a lot–especially when I become frustrated with others when they don’t understand about spiritual growth. here are some excerpts:

On Saturday, Sept. 30, Dahn Yoga will support Suicide prevention walk in Long Island, NY. Why people cease their lives? Isn’t it our arrogant notion that I possess my life?
From Ilchi Lee’s book The Twelve Enlightenments
Observe your own body. It breathes. You breathe when you are asleep, when you are no longer conscious of your own ideas of self-identity. [...]
