There are two common reasons for improper action of Water Up, Fire Down. The first occurs when the Dahn-jon, which acts to draw in and store energy, is too weak to function properly. In this case, the mind becomes cluttered with incessant thought as fire energy moves upward to the brain.

Stress can also interrupt Water Up, Fire Down because it negatively affects the downward flow of energy through the chest. When this flow is blocked, energybacks up and returns to the head, causing anxiety or headaches.

When Water Up, Fire Down is in effect, your abdomen is warm while your head is cool. Your hands and feet are warm, and you have plenty of saliva in your mouth. You sense greater clarity of mind and your senses are opened. You feel positive and relaxed, and your creativity and imagination are enhanced.

The most efficient way to eliminate headaches is to recover the state of Water Up, Fire Down in your body. The following exercises are designed to balance water and fire energy and to ease your headache symptoms.

The kidneys and the heart facilitate this constant circulation with the help of the body’s energy center. The kidneys generate water energy in the human body while the heart generates fire energy. When the energy flow is balanced, the Dahn-jon imparts heat to the kidneys and sends the water energy up. This cools the brain and sends heat down from the heart.

When the water energy travels upward along the spine, the brain feels cool and refreshed. When the fire energy flows down from the chest, the lower abdomen and intestines become warm and flexible. When this energy cycles regularly, the Dahn-jon is performing its most crucial function.

If the energy flow is reversed and fire energy moves upward while water energy moves downward, then the abdomen may be cold and the neck and shoulders stiff. One may also feel “weak at heart” or fatigued. In this state, many people experience problems with digestion, including chronic constipation, tenderness in the lower abdomen, and circulatory problems.

The next step involves Brain Mastering, the active development of the frontal lobe—the executive part of the brain that imagines, plans, sets goals, and makes decisions. The goal here parallels Dr. Abraham Maslow’s classic psychological model of the self-actualized person. This ideal individual Dr. Lee lives life in constant and deliberate self-exploration, continually refining character toward the highest conception of self. Maslow stated emphatically that this self-exploration must be accompanied by action, that it must not become an exercise in self-absorbed introversion. This is why we also advocate following a lofty and worthy vision for one’s life.

When creating his model for self-actualization, Maslow drew upon the works of eighteenth-century philosopher Dr. Richard M. Bucke, who advocated the development of what he called “cosmic consciousness.” Bucke described this consciousness as the awareness of the world as a giant organism in which one is connected to every living thing. Again, here we see a marvelous parallel to the philosophy of Tao, which stresses the ultimate oneness of all things.

Essentially, the BEST 5 Dahn training program is a brain development system that progresses from the physical to the psychological and finally to the philosophical. In the end, it is a life philosophy, a means of continual self-betterment. Our hope is that this system will not only create happiness for individuals, but initiate a wave of health, happiness, and peace throughout the world.

Headaches are often the result of greater problems disrupting the flow of energy in our body. Cool water energy and hot fire energy flow simultaneously within our body. Energy flow originates in the chest and, when the body is in balance, moves to the appropriate parts of the body to continue the balanced circulation. This natural flow of energy is called “Water Up, Fire Down.” (In Dahn Yoga terminology, it is
called Su-seung-hwa-gang.)

Dahn Yoga teaches circulation exercises to spread Ki energy throughout the body from the lower abdomen to resolve headache. Most of Dahn Yoga programs are created by Ilchi Lee.

Water Up, Fire Down is the core principle for human health. When the human body is in balance, the cool water energy travels upward toward the head along the back side of the body (Governing Vessel/ Dok-maek), while the hot fire energy flows down the front side of the body (Conception Vessel/Im-maek) to the abdomen. This constitutes a complete cycle of energy circulation. By repeating this circulation, life maintains its balance and continuity. Perhaps you have heard the expressions “I have a fire in my belly” or “Keep a cool head.”

Dr Ilchi Lee experience and information about alternate uses and Dahn value in our life.

It is important to gain the habit of looking beyond the ordinary, even in the mundane routines of life. To practice this, try looking at the things around you in different ways. For example, look at all the tools and utensils that you have in your kitchen. You have many things—spatulas, knives, pots, and pans—all with specific uses.

To get your brain in the habit of looking beyond the ordinary, list in your mind all the possible alternate uses. For example, perhaps an egg beater could be used to help arrange flowers or as a backscratcher. Challenge your mind in this way as you look around at other objects in your house as well.

Only you, and no one else, can erase the limitations in your brain. If you think, “These are my fixed limits,” your brain will not try to work beyond those limits. Your brain follows your mind, not the other way around. That is why you must develop absolute trust in your brain to follow your wishes, believing that it has the power to help you move past any limitation or difficulty. Trying to achieve anything substantial without complete trust in your brain is like driving a car with the parking brake engaged and then complaining about not being able to go as fast as you’d like.

If you ask it to, your brain can do things you’ve never done, even things you are unaware of. Your brain has great power to find and create solutions that are not immediately obvious. However, most people live within the limits of the lives they have experienced and known. They don’t know what they haven’t learned, they are uninterested in things that are “none of their business,” and they fear attempting things outside the scope of their own knowledge and experience. These people do not trust their brains to comprehend anything beyond the usual, and thus their potential is continually truncated. We are living in an information age, where facts and figures are available at the touch of a button. No longer can

people’s worth be determined by the information they do or do not hold within their brains. Rather, how information is used is all that really matters.

As Ilchi Lee writes in his book that to gain true trust in your brain, make a point of going outside your existing scope. In other words, quit looking for the same old answers in the same old places. Be unafraid to ask your brain tough questions about the nature of your life and its ultimate meaning. Demand that your brain think outside the box to find new, more effective solutions, and use it to form new, more effective priorities. This is the kind of confidence that will truly transform your life.

Physical fitness training is a good way to gain practice in stepping past limitations for D Yoga. The limitations of the body are clearly defined, and it is clear when we have overcome them. Push-ups are a good example. At first, you will probably only be able to do a few push-ups. Promise yourself that you will add at least one push-up every day. Set a goal of doing a hundred push-ups without stopping. With diligence, you will achieve this very quickly, and you will set precedents for success in all areas of your life.

Doctor Ilchi Lee’s life is realy good to follow.

A collected extract from Ilchi Lee’s book:

It is absolutely true that you have limitations. But you are also limitless. If that seems contradictory, think of your limitations not as brick walls, but rather as soft, plastic structures. Yes, they will slow you down and even stop you for a while, but they can be infinitely pushed and stretched out until they are barely visible at all.

When dealing with your own limitations, don’t attempt to jump past them. This approach will probably only create hardship for you. Rather, be very honest and realistic about what they are, and try to go just a tad beyond them each time you face them.

Let’s say, for example, that you have always wanted to become a medical doctor. In college, however, you shied away from the premed program because you did horribly in your high school chemistry class, and you dread the chemistry classes that are part of the premed curriculum. In this case, your fear of the chemistry classes and your lack of understanding of the subject matter constitute the limitations concocted by your brain.

Should this limitation make you give up on your dream? Certainly not. Yet these are the very sorts of things that do derail people’s dreams. If becoming a doctor is what you really want, then nothing else will ever satisfy you, and you must follow that dream. Set your mind to that goal, and welcome the challenges that come.

As the old saying goes, “Where there is a will, there is a way.” In terms of brain management, this means finding the way that your brain is able to do something. Okay, so your brain didn’t take very well to chemistry the way it was taught in high school. So what? Find the way your brain can learn it. Try tutors, try study aids, do everything except quit. Eventually, your brain will figure out the appropriate method, and it is at that point that you have stretched your limitations so far that you stepped right over them.

You have probably been told at some time in your life to count your blessings. But have you considered that everything in your life is a blessing? Think of a difficult period in your life that has passed or a giant obstacle you have overcome. Consider how that event ultimately was a blessing to you.

All about Dahn Yoga

All sorts of organizations and corporations have slogans: “Be all you can be,” “I’m lovin’ it,” “Just do it.” The best ones are simple, concise, and speak volumes about the entities they represent. They say a lot about the way companies view their customers and much about how they want the outside world to relate to them. So why not write a slogan for yourself? It will focus your brain on what you really want to be and maybe help you live up to that ideal.
