In a nature, a diamond is the hardest known substance.
Through intense pressure & heat, simple carbon is transformed into a precious diamond.
Throught the world, a diamond is the symbol of purity, clarity, strength , and is of great value.
The diamond also is symbolic of the journey our souls make when we are reaching for higher understanding.
Through intense dahn mu do practice, we transform our mind , body, and spirit into a pure hard diamond.
The goal for mankind is to walk a path on which our souls will shine and sparkle as brightly as a diamond. it is for the reason the Arizona Dahn yoga and Dahn mu do demonstration team has chosen the diamond as our symbol.

If you are experiencing specific health issues, it is best to consult a trusted health care professional prior to proceeding with meridian exercises. Always listen to your body. There is no need to rush your progress or to push through your discomfort. All bodies are unique, and you will find your own level of practice naturally.

The meridian exercises will help to correct the misuse of the body from habits accrued overtime. It is important to practice consistently. Some people want quick remedies and thereby become frustrated when the results are not immediate. Meridian exercises must be practiced and nurtured over time. You will feel when the condition of your body improves.

As you develop astuteness in recognizing the nuances of yoru body’s workings and skill in deciphering a problem before it intensifies, you will continue to progress in becoming an active participant in your own self-healing.

Last week someone from Dahn Yoga mentioned in class that some masters actually fall asleep in the sleeping tiger pose. Knowing this has made it very easy to stay in this pose for much longer periods of time. I can see now it was the mind which created the limitation as to how long I could stay in the sleeping tiger pose, now it knows there are no limits….

Meridian exercise is different from general exercise. Dahn Yoga Meridian exercise is bringing positive energy to the body for creative energy. The synchronous movements can have far-reaching healing benefits. If you perform these exercises with honesty and sincerity, you can significantly self-heal the symptoms that cause you distress.

Look through the table of contents and identify your particular symptoms. These correspond to specific exercises you can perform to ameliorate your ailments. Dahn Yoga specializes not only in healing painful symptoms, but also in enhancing overall health for the body as a preventative measure. Some of the exercises for certain symptoms will be repeated in different parts of the book. You can individualize the approach according to your body condition.

I heard a lot about Dahn Mudo weekend workshop. Can anyone give reasons why one should take this workshop? What do you get out of this workshop?

The masters say that they can eat anything and it will turn to energy - whether it is vegetarian food, organic or just fast food. Instead of obsessing about the food you eat, it is better to develop a strong fire in the belly which can digest anything. This is achieved by regular practice of Dahn yoga. This seems a better option then spending much more money and time to shop for organic & healthy food when you cannot be sure if it is organic and toxic free like they say….

We had a wonderful class with Master Alex Lee. One of the exercises we practised was making your energy bigger and bigger until it fills the whole room, then expand it to the space outside, then the state, then the country and then the whole world. It was amazing to experience the feeling of being one with the whole world. There was nothing that I was not a part of, the whole world was in me and I was the world. Thank you Master Lee for this experience.

I have been doing the 103 bowing exercise and noticed  a significant difference in the days I do not do it. My energy level is not the same and my back feels stiff and sore. Recently I started doing it more slowly instead of rushing and trying to do it in 17 minutes or so. The effect seems greater when I do it slowly as I become more aware of my breathing, my thoughts and feel a sense of sacredness. My body gets really hot by the time I finish and I am ready to sit for meditation.
