Here is a question from ilchi.com posted by a mother whose daughter has MS.

Q: In the prime of her life, my daughter was diagnosed with MS. This is very frightening for her, and as her mother, I want to help her through it. I have had to walk her through many dark moments. Now she is doing very well on her own managing her illness, and for the first time is getting more connected with her inner self. I there anything else I can do for her?

A: I know how painful it must be to see your loved one suffering and struggling. Even though no cure for MS has been found so far, there are many ways to help those living with MS through both traditional and complementary approaches. You are on the right track with your daughter because the strongest support does come from within, from ones own body and brain. What really matters, though, is not how nimbly she can move her body, but for what purpose she uses it. When her true purpose is clear to her, she will more easily become her body’s master as she strives to overcome obstacles and challenges. I appreciate your strength, and I send my best energy to you and your daughter.

I found this on dahnyoga.com. Read the whole sharing here http://www.dahnyoga.com/general/news_view.asp?id=441.

Here’s an excerpt…

In the summer of 2006, I started attending classes at Dahn and continued my training in energy. I became much more flexible and stronger. In July 2007, my Center manager, Donnie, suggested that I attend DahnMuDo School. I am so glad that he encouraged me to go. Although not always fun, DahnMuDo School was truly a life changing experience. First, we worked on loosening our muscles, meridians and joints and doing a lot of brain respiration so the left and right hemispheres of our brains would communicate more effectively and be more flexible. My brain was so tired. The days were so long and then we would meet early in the morning, as the sun would rise. Even though we did not sleep much and exercised so much, we were able to accumulate more energy and not feel tired. We learned to use our internal energy for our physical movements. As the days went on, I could feel my spine becoming more flexible and by looking in the mirror, my spine looked straighter.

It’s flu season and Dr. Ilchi Lee offers a series of meridian (energy channels) exercises, based on Dahn Yoga holistic health training, which he founded. When practiced daily during the flu season, these exercises can help your immune system deal with the flu — so you don’t catch it, get it milder or get over it faster.

1. Breath work. Ideally, practice this breathing before sleeping. In a quiet place that is neither too hot nor cold, sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor in the half-lotus posture, straighten your back and relax your body. Once comfortable, focus on your breathing. Through your nose, inhale up to 80 percent of your capacity until you fill your abdomen. Hold your breath in your lower abdomen for a while. Exhale through your nose. Repeat this exercise until you begin to sweat. Afterwards, take a hot shower and rest.

2. Lung meridian clearing. To prevent and release energy blockages, stimulate the two acupressure points that mark the start of the lung meridian. These points are just below the collarbone in the hollows on both side of your chest. Make a fist with your right hand, with your thumb folded in, and gently tap the point on the left side by your shoulder. Do this for one to three minutes, and then switch sides. If this is too painful or feels blocked, rub these points with the pads of your fingers. Breathe naturally for one to two minutes. Switch sides.

3. Chest expanding. To enhance and strengthen circulation in the lungs, breath to expand your chest. This helps with coughs, bronchitis, emphysema, breathing difficulty and phlegm elimination. Sit in a large chair or on the floor, and lock your fingers behind your back. With your spine lengthened, but not rigid, gently bend your upper body forward from the trunk, while lifting both arms up toward the back of your head. Exhale while slowly returning to locking your fingers behind your back. Repeat three times.

4. Head turning. This exercise helps energy flow smoothly through your neck to enable the release of cold energy from the acupressure point at the base of your neck. Sit with your legs folded, with your hands on your knees. Slowly turn your head to the right until you feel resistance. Then slowly turn to the left, breathing comfortably. Do this 30 times while concentrating on releasing blocked energy from the base of your neck.

5. Nose rubbing. To help clear nasal congestion, do this exercise in the morning when waking up. As you inhale, rub your hands together to create heat energy, concentrating on your middle fingers. Breathe naturally while you place your fingers on either side of your nose. Press and gently massage your nose with your fingers for five minutes.
