You cannot say you are using your brain well if you cannot learn to use your brain in cooperation with other brains. Fortunately this is really not so hard. Mutual brain-appreciation is the key to peace on every level. Rather than trying to control the brains around y ou, seek simply to play fairly.

Realize you are only responsible for your own brain, without trying to control other brains. Simply learn to take joy in the marvelous diversity exhibited in the human brain!

~ Principles of Brain Management, Ilchi Lee

Tangible Results.  I pray for this from time to time, not for the recognition through having something to show, but rather for the Affirmation that what we do as Dahn Healers has an impact on positively impacting the lives of others.  Seeing tangible results from our efforts creates more of the same pure energy. (Like really delicious ice cream, a little can go a long way…oops…Mind to Stomach..it’s my lunch break.)

I’m sending the sharing below with permission from the writer.  She was a student last summer in the Dahn Yoga (BEST Level 1) class I teach at College of San Mateo. It is significant to note that she is also the Dean of Counseling, Advising, and Matriculation on the campus.  Perhaps the energy is changing in a fresh, big way…

I hope this sharing inspires others too.

Warm regards,  Lisa – San Mateo Dahn Yoga Center

1.  Denise(San Mateo) has made contact with Cecilia who runs the EXCEL after school program at Sunnyside Elementary School in SF. 

Cecilia is pursuing a presentation for her director to see about including BE as part of their program.  We would start with one class of 20 students and add classes as we can.
 
2. We have a chance to teach two BE classes to children at a Health Awareness Event on Sept. 15. 

Denise(San Mateo) and Theresa(Mountain View) will be leading the classes! 

 Send lost of energy that his helps make more contacts in the Spanish speaking community. 
 
3. We have a BE presentation set for Sept 18 with the Mothers/Daughters group through Viviane, a Mountain view center member who took the BETW in August. 

We will be presenting to mothers about BE and it’s benefits.  We are working on offering a mother/daughter series of classes so that they can get an introduction to BE and Dahn Yoga.  Denise (Mountain View) will be presenting along with support from the BEL team.
 
4. We have a BE presentation set up for October 12 at Stanford with Denise Pope, founder of Stressed Out Students.  Denise (SM) found the SOS conference and BELs attended to make contact with this group.  We hope to explain how BE can help stressed out students.
 
5. Denise(SM) has made contact with Dr. Carol Dweck, Stanford Psychology Professor about BE.  Dr. Dweck’s article on brain/mindset can be found at:

We hope to set up a discussion with her about BE in October.
 
6. We have our BETW scheduled for October 20-21 from 9 am until 5 pm at the Fremont Center.  We are excited to have this upcoming workshop.

7. There is  going to be an Education Summit in Sacramento on Nov. 13-14.    We are going to apply for a booth and work on funding ideas as well as gather folks to man the booth.  So, if any one from CA is interested in helping staff the booth, please contact Sung Shim HN at magiciansj@yahoo.com.
