We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather about us to see their own images and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life because of our silence. -William Butler Yeats

from DC Metro Dahn Yoga blog:

Sometimes during training you can get frustrated — and even though you are going forward it feels like a set-back. Like feeling sad or sick. Sometimes we feel if we are “getting better” we shouldn’t feel sad, or angry, or anxious, or sick. But we have SO many layers of these feelings in our body — in continuing our training it is like opening a door — and walking forward, and then opening another door — and another — before we open a door and not only feel, but know, love and trust our true self. Acknowledge your feelings and just go through them to the next. No need to hang out in the room with them — we don’t have to relive our past — we just go to the door and open it.

Intestinal Exercise refers to the rythmic pulling in and pushing out of the abdominal wall.  This exercise will increase the flexibility of the intestines and facilitate efficient circulation of both energy and blood.  There are many benefits to intestinal exercises including better digestion and help for headaches.

1. The exercise can be performed standing up or lying down.  Form a triangle with your thumbs and forefingers and place lightly on the lower abdomen.  Remember to curl your tailbone.
   -  When standing, have knees slightly bent and toes turned inwards.
   -  When lying, lie on your back with your legs shoulder-width apart.
2.  When pulling in, pull as if your are trying to touch your belly button to your spine.
3.  Push your abdomen out.
4.  Start with a set of fifty and work your way up.

Do not overdue this exercise in the beginning.

Su-Seung-hwa-gang means “Water Up, Fire Down”. This is the core principle for human health. When the body is in balance, the cool water energy travels upward toward the head along the back side of the body, while the hot fire energy flows down the front side of the body to the lower abdomen. This is the complete cycle of energy circulation. By repeating this circulation, life maintains its balance and continuity.
