Jung-Choong Breathing and Dahn-jon Breathing

Dahn-jon breathing is closely related to the movement of the diaphragm, a dome-shaped structure that assists in breathing and acts as a natural partition between your heart and lungs on the one hand, and your stomach, spleen, pancreas, liver, kidneys, bladder, and small and large intestines on the other.

When you breathe deeply, your diaphragm moves downward as you inhale and upward as you exhale. The more the diaphragm moves, the more our lungs are able to expand, which means that more oxygen can be taken in and more carbon dioxide can be released with each ocean

When you do Dahn-jon breathing, at first there may not be any sensation in the Dahn-jon. This may be due to the energy cnannei being blocked or the sense of Ki not being fully developed. With practice, the warmth of the energy moving inside the abdomen will oecome apoa^ent. When there is a feeling of the heat in the abdomen, the Dahn-jon has been identified. Concentrate on that point. As the awareness of tne Dahn-jon increases, more energy and heat will be felt. The sense of heat may change into a magnetic or electric sensation.

When the Dahn-jon feels warm, imagine an energy ball in the Dahn-jon. Deepen the breathing and the energy ball will become larger. Soon the abdominal area will be filled with the ball of energy. Through Jung-Choong Breathing postures and techniques, our breathing can become natural, deep Dahn-jon breathing.
