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. As the days went on, I could feel my spine becoming more flexible and by looking in the mirror, my spine looked straighter.

5 ways to keep the flu away
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.

How to do Brain Wave Vibration
Here are some simple steps to follow…
Brain Wave Vibration training uses vibrations in the body to change the vibrations in the brain. Through the gentle rhythms created in the body, you can release tension from the body and bring your brain toward a calm, meditative state. You can eventually grow the vibrations to include the whole body, but here is a simple and effective exercise to begin with:
1. Sit comfortably in a chair with your arms resting comfortably at your sides.
2. Breathe comfortably and relax your body completely.
3. Close your eyes and begin gently rocking your head from side to side.
4. Focus on your brain stem, located at the point where your head pivots left and right,
5. Visualize your brain stem lighting up as you go deeper and deeper into the rocking motion.

First time smiling
Today during an open class a member who is always very serious in class raised her hand to share. She said that she really enjoyed the class and that the first time in a very long time, she actually smiled – twice! I can’t imagine going years without smiling. But how great it must have felt to be able to smile again!
