In Dahn Yoga, there is a circulation exercise where you are on your back on the floor or a mat, with your arms and legs in the air, and for a while you head is up too. Shaking the arms and legs spreads energy throughout the body and especially the power center of the abdomen. Tension leaves as does stagnant energy. Cells and bones are strengthened.

Typically, the path of body tapping in Dahn Yoga goes like this: Tapping one shoulder and then the other. Then down one arm with the palm up and back with the palm down; down with thumb up and then up. Chest. Hips. Down back of legs and up front. Down the outside of the leg and up the inside of the leg. End with the abdomen. What a workout!

The purpose of Dahn Yoga’s body tapping is to stimulate circulation, open blockages and release stagnant energy thrroughout the entire body. With tapping, cells become stronger as they are stimulated and acupressure points are opened up. This is a good exercise for all age groups. Maybe it seems silly at first, but it becomes fun, and it works!

Wherever there is tightness in your body, there is a meridian or energy channel passing through the affected area and accupressure points on it or near by. Dahn Yoga deals with the system of 12 meridians, opening them up, releasing stagnant energy and getting the good energy to flow. Stretching and breathing in the area is how it is done.

Cancer is so limited-
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot conquer the Spirit.

Learning in the Dahn Healing System makes one into a healer. What does one do with this healing competence and confidence? First, it is an advanced course in self healing. Second, it can be a gift to one’s family and friends, helping them regain their health condition or deal with the stresses and tensions of life so they do not get sick. In the workplace, one may not be about to do touching massage techniques, but the healing principles can be applied to the interrelationships of body condition, mind set, emotional expression and accessing deep knowing and wisdom. The same can be said about working with community organizations and groups.

Dahn Healing System Program 1 involves a week at the Sedona Ilchi Meditation Center with a pre- and post-training in the Dahn Yoga region and center of three months. Program 2 is all at SIMC, lasting an intense 12 days. Which one is right for you? For some people it is a matter of too little time away from home and work, so Program 1 makes sense. For other people, it is a matter of learning style — spreading the learning out as in Program 1 or doing it in a concentrated way as in Program 2. Both a great training.
