Before Dahn I had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which I had for 12 years. I was physically tired most of the time with little energy beyond working full time and caring for my house. I suffered from severe stiffness and abdominal distention. Mentally I felt I was in a fog a lot of the time. This is called Fibro Fog.
Since Dahn Yoga my stiffness has greatly improved. I am able to assume all of the yoga poses which before were a great challenge to me. I feel mentally more alert and clear. I have a lot more energy and am able to keep a fairly demanding schedule including teaching 6 yoga classes per week am happier and brighter with a true purpose in life.
I frequently say that if I hadn’t of signed up for 6 months membership on my first visit to Dahn I probably would have quit after 1 week. I was so stiff , unable to hold most of the poses and needing help to get off of the floor. I had poor self esteem and thought I would never be able to bend and stretch like the other members.Kyu, the center manager was very patient and encouraging. He never focused on my inabilities. He recommended healing sessions and Shim Sung.
Through Healing Sessions I began to be able to stretch and learned some dietary suggestions. I learned how to use moxibustion to help my condition.
Shim Sung was incredible. It helped me see that I could make other choices in life and I once again established a deep connection to my Soul. After Shim Sung I decided to retire from my full time Nursing career of 35 years and devote more time to my Dahn practice. I retired in Jan, 2007 and was allowed to work 2 days a week to training new staff. I began teaching a Yoga class at a community health center in Dorchester to diabetic patients. I teach 2 days a week.
Since healer school I have used the skills I learned on a regular basis.I do healing sessions on many of my family members and friends. I also teach some simple healing techniques to staff at work.
In Oct. 2007 I got permission from my employer ( The American Red Cross) to begin a yoga class for employees. I began by teaching 1 class a week with 6 participants. I have recently expanded to 4 classes per week and now have about 20-25 members.
The Red Cross has also agreed to pay 50% of the cost of Shim Sung for any nurse who wishes to attend. The first nurse is registered to attend this month.
As I continue to take action my soul seems to grow more and more. I keep changing what my definition of sincerity and devotion are . I believe my sincerity in living for my soul has deepened and is more constant. Before it was as though it was a part time job and now it has become my full time focus. I believe I’ve changed what I am devoted to. Before I was devoted to religion and now I’m devoted to my soul’s growth. Christianity was an attachment for me and once I was able to let go of it as that I’ve been able to grow more. I haven’t forsaken Christianity . My relationship to Christ has just changed. It is healthier. I’ve been able to let go of religion and I believe I’m more real to people.
It is my practice to bow every day. It has helped to make my love for humanity more real and it has helped me to maintain a humble mind.
Physically my condition continues to improve although I am not totally free of the symptoms of fibromyalgia. I have let go of a lot of my resistance to change. I have also let go of a lot of negative attitudes. I am much more aware of any negativity that I hold. I am more trusting of myself and the universe. And I have learned to genuinely love myself. I live a joyfull happy life.
Through Chun Mung training I acquired the name SungMo (Sacred Mother).I do believe this is who I am. I continue to grow in this motherly role. As I grow and expand my vision I have noticed that my heart chakra opens more and more. It is truly amazing.
My whole experience within Dahn has been one awakening after another. Even though I struggled with how Dahn and Christianity would or could fit together I trusted that if it were part of God’s plan the two would blend together. And they have.
I frequently return to the state of Mua realizing it is where Chunjikun can perform best. If only I could always be Mua.
It is my desire to continue to grow and live for my purpose which is for others to know God’s unconditional love without a lot of words. That others would just feel His love.
