When the flowers bloom, the earth is filled with fragrance. When a flower blooms in the heart of a human being, the world is filled with peace. I believe that the Dahn Yoga programs developed by Ilchi Lee can make flowers bloom in human being’s hearts.

For centuries, human beings desired to get to the moon. We created different kinds of aircraft, and kept launching these physical manifestations of our dreams. Eventually, we succeeded in breaking our limitations, overcoming gravity, and showing ourselves that anything is possible. Ilchi Lee has been working to bring peace in this Earth, and has brought many hopes to fruition.

I began Dahn Yoga in February 2006. My major health condition like many other middle aged men was frequent urination too many times to count. This condition was most active at night. Getting up 8 10 times per night was keeping me very stressed.
After two months of Dahn Yoga practice I noticed I was not getting up as many times. Now I get a full nights sleep. As a result I am more patient, more focused and much less irritable.
For confidentiality and personal embarrassment reasons I do not want to divulge my complete name. Many men like myself would be happy to know there is some relief out there besides medications.

It’s a program for the fitness of the mind, body and spirit. Through Dahn Yoga/ DahnMuDo, one can learn to be a better person a happier person. I think that’s what makes master Lee’s program a standout from others. A happy person can make others around him/her happy, and in turn they can make others around them happy as well.

I have not taken my medication for my liver, however it has cleared since I’ve been doing the Dahn Yoga program. I was so happy and shocked when my doctor said, “your liver is normal!”

Good news makes a good brain. That is what we have posted all over my Dahn Yoga center. What good news do I have to share today? Someone I know will be able to go to a training they wanted to go to, but didn’t think they would be able to. So they let it go, and then help came to them. If we hold on too tightly, energy can’t flow and then come back to us. Set yourself free.

Great post from the Mountain View Dahn Yoga Site about Human Technology. Breathing makes a happy brain!
Everybody lives a breath of fresh air.
Human Technology by Ilchi Lee
summary p.46
“Everybody lives a breath of fresh air.
When we let the fresh air in our body, we feel awake, refreshed and energized.
Actually this is all about breathing?
breathing in fresh air and releasing the toxins.Breathing is mechanical.
It occurs automatically.
You don’t have to think about breathing.
It happens by itself.
It is what our body does.
Exactly in the same fashion, thinking is also mechanical.
Thinking occurs automatically.
You don’t have to think about thinking.
It is a routine of the brain.
It is what the brain does.
Moreover, just like you can control your respiration, you are able to conrol how the brain thinks?
although both are somethng that very few people do.”I’m thinking how important the brain is… we need to know how to breathe right.

I found this promotional video both YouTube and the Dahn Yoga Daily blog site. It is a great explanation of what is going on in the Brain Education for Enhanced Learning program designed for schools. I can’t seem to embed videos here, so here is the link:

It’s quite informative and entertaining!

This year I’ve been learning a lot about the meaning of home. When I first started Dahn practice and did deeper exercises to focus inside of myself, I often had the urgent feeling of trying and wanting to go home. Over time I realized I had many homes in the world: in my parents’ house, wherever my family was, at any Dahn Yoga center or Dahn-affiliated meditation center, or in my apartment/bedroom. Then one day during an exercise I could feel my soul even more deeply and I realized that I was already home. My ego felt most at home when it was in tune with my soul, my soul was at home in my body, and at the same time my soul was connected to the rest of the universe. So everywhere was home.

I found this posting on blog.dahnyoga.net. I copied an excerpt. I think many people have a Gertrude. I’m pretty familiar with her myself. I’m lucky enough to have a job where I need to be positive for others. I need to make all of my training come to life for others so that they may see that there is hope, that it can help them with whatever they need. This helps motivate me.
I want to introduce you to my old friend, Gertrude. Gertrude has been with me for many, many years. She is my biggest critic! Because of her criticism, my physical, mental, and spiritual life have been limited. Gertrude has always reminded me why I couldn’t do something. She also could never be happy with an accomplishment. She always had a “Yeah, but…” to interject whenever things were going well. Nothing was ever good enough for her. When things were bad, she really got on my case. Oh, my, gosh! She would tell me what a loser I was. She constantly brought up past mistakes, slights, and any other negative thing she could think of to make me miserable. When she wasn’t talking about the past, she would worry about the future. Gertrude had been around me for so many years, I had grown accustomed to her negative voice. I never realized what an affect she had on me until my Dahn Yoga training help me recognize it. Let me tell you about the misery Gertrude had caused with her prolific negative chatter.
Gertrude had limited me physically. When I started Dahn Yoga three years ago, I was on numerous prescription and over-the-counter medications, including several asthma, blood pressure, cholesterol, anti-depressives, allergy, and pain meds. I had more aches and pains than any person should have. Emotionally, I was afraid of just about everything because Gertrude told me, “You can’t do this because…, and you can’t do that because…. You will fail, this isn’t safe, yada-yada-yada.” Life had gotten to be more of a burden than a pleasure, and suicide was a frequent topic with Gertrude.
You see, Gertrude isn’t a real person. Gertrude is the name I have given the negative tape that runs in my head. If it hadn’t been for Dahn Yoga, I would still be listening to Gertrude. I’m not saying Gertrude is totally gone, because she shows up occasionally. Habits are hard to break. Thanks to Dahn Yoga Masters and Instructors, I now realize that my well being and happiness is a choice. I recognize Gertrude when she shows up and am able to say, “Welcome, old friend, but you can’t stay.” DY says, “My body is not me but mine. My mind is not me but mine.” To this, I have added, “Gertrude is not me but mine.”
In three years of practicing DY, I am off all medications, and the pharmacist and doctors miss me. My pulmonologist and GP tell me to keep up what I am doing. My family does not miss Gertrude. My life is not all roses. I still have to face the trials that all humans face; loss of a job, loss of loved ones, more week and money, dealing with difficult people, etc. However, one thing that I am aware of now is whenever Gertrude shows up to help me out with these challenges.
