while preparing your brain for Dahn Yoga Exercise sit comfortably on a chair or on the floor. Raise your hands above your head, and cup your hands around your head without touching your head. Close your eyes and feel the energy from your brain.

Imagine that your hands and brain are interconnected. Pull your hands out a little, and then bring them closer in. Repeat this motion for several minutes. Imagine that your brain expands as your hands drift apart, and your brain contracts as your hands come closer in.

Now, coordinate your hand motion with the rhythm of your breath, moving in and out in sync with inhaling and exhaling.

Slowly, imagine that you lift your brain up with both hands and bring it down toward your chest.

By using your mind’s eye, observe which parts of your brain are hurt, distorted, or blocked.

Now, imagine a trickle of pure spring water washing over your brain, with cool freshness and purity.
