Dahn Yoga Health Centers in Nevada

Continued from Dahn Yoga: headaches 2.

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.

Dahn Yoga’s circulation exercise helps to spread Ki energy throughout the body from the lower abdomen. It helps rid the body of tension and stagnant energy while strengthening cells and bones. The blood in the lower extremities circulates more freely, and this helps to slow the aging process. The vibration also allows for the distribution of oxygen to the brain, which helps brain functioning, particularly concentration and memory.

Dahn Yoga Circulation exercise is especially helpful for people who experience high blood pressure, heart disease, rheumatism, or bronchial asthma. It helps to ease the symptoms of thyroid disorders and diseases of the skin as well. If you have any of these disorders, you can increase the time spent practicing the circulation exercise up to 10 minutes per session.
