Dahn Yoga

Lie down comfortably. Have both of your hands side of your body having your palms facing upward. Breathe in and out naturally and slowly. Focus on your breathing. Feel your body. Once you feel that you are centered and calm, raise your hands and feet. Straighten the elbow and flex the wrist. Your palms should face upward. Bend your knees to 90 degrees. Bend the ankles to 90 degrees too.

You can feel that your lower abdomen is naturally tensed. As you breathe in and out, you might be able to feel that your lower abdomen goes up and down naturally. Keep the posture for 5 minutes. If you feel your lower back hurt, don’t push yourself too much.

This is called the Sleeping Tiger posture. This posture helps a practitioner strengthen the lower abdomen and accumulate energy. It’s great for circulating fresh energy in the body and releasing stress and tension.

 Fear of the blank page, plain old inertia, writer’s block.

I was stuck. For a year my unfinished manuscript gathered dust.  I’d given up on the project, and I didn’t have the heart to start another one. Negative thoughts bombarded me. You’re a hack.  Does the world really need more bad writing? You’re too old write anything good.
I busied myself with other things, yet I felt something missing in my life.  When Master Kim offered 21 Days of Miracle Training, I signed up hoping to discover a new path.  But when she asked, What do you really want?, I realized that I want to write something beautiful before I die. To do this I needed a new attitude, as well as renewed discipline and focus.
During Brain Wave Vibration on the first day of class, I realized I want to finish the project I’d abandoned.  That day I bought new pens, a ream of paper, pulled out my research and manuscript. Getting up for class at 6 a.m. helped me establish new discipline and added two hours to my day.  BWV got me past negative thoughts and fears. As I gained focus, new ideas and words began to flow. My goal is to write every day for one hour or until I have one good page, whichever comes first. I choose to make this a priority in my life, and I dream of writing a piece good enough to be called literature.

As a continuation of my last post, here are simple Dahn Yoga neck exercises for strengthening and releasing tension from your neck. Be sure to concentrate on your neck as you do the exercises.

1. Place your hands on your waist. Move your head very slowly in a large circular motion, touching your chin to your chest as it moves forward. Repeat this 5 times. Breathe naturally and make a circle in the other direction.

2. Relax your neck muscles completely and lower your chin to your chest. Clasp your hands behind your neck and relax your arms. Inhale, and using your arms, pull your chin to your chest. Hold for 5 seconds. Exhale and return. Repeat this exercise 5 times.

3. With your head facing forward, inhale and try to touch your ear to your right shoulder. Hold for 5 seconds. Exhale and return. Repeat on the left side. Repeat this motion 7 or 8 times. Move your head very slowly, with the rest of your body relaxed.

The brain is the seat of our humanity. The first spark of brainwave activity
marks the beginning of each human life; the final cessation of that activity
marks that life’s end. Every experience, emotion, and memory reaches us
through the brain’s mediation. It is the source of all our art, science, and
culture. Powered by untold trillions of neural connections, we hug our children,
learn to hit a baseball, write first novels, pray to our gods, and reach
out to help our fellows in need. In practical terms, we are our brains.
Consequently, it can be disturbing to reach middle age or beyond and hear what the popular media has to say about the things that are in store for our brains as we grow older. Our culture is filled with images of aged individuals whose minds are foggy, confused, and useless.

When we think of old age and the brain, we think of words such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease,
and Parkinson’s disease. Even if our thoughts are not concerned with such doom and gloom, conventional wisdom still tells us that finding a vigorous, creative, energetic, improving brain in an aging body is as rare as finding buried treasure at the bottom of the ocean.
None of us like to think about losing our memory or our ability to think and reason as we age. Yet that is precisely what most of us believe will happen no matter what we do. So we passively accept the notion of
becoming forgetful and assume it’s inevitable. We fret over memory lapses in our fifties and sixties and worry that we are experiencing an early onset of Alzheimer’s or some other form of dementia. We tell uneasy jokes about seniors who have lost their identities and laugh while we pray that we won’t be the butt of someone else’s joke when we’re ninety. Well, perhaps it’s high time for some myth-busting about the aging brain.

In Full Bloom -by Ilchi Lee -

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.

The best thing you can do to bring a sense of hope to your life is to discover a sense of purpose.

But how can you know your real purpose? Maybe you have searched for that for thirty or forty years and have never found the answer.

I cannot answer that question exactly for you because it is ultimately up to you.

What I do know is that whatever your mission in life, you will be of great service to humanity.

I believe that every person has a great internal desire to find a harmonious way of living on the planet and to contribute something of value to the world.

In Korean we call this the Hong-ik ideal, which refers to the desire to be beneficial, not just to yourself but to all of humanity.
