Dahn Yoga Class Texas Member's blog

We all often find ourselves stressed and almost at the point of depression. The routine of having to wake up, find food and other material things and then back to sleep, is bound to cause boredom. Moreover, soon than later, you would realize that the ultimate satisfaction is not in this routine.

The path to becoming a Dahn Yoga Instructor can be different for each individual. There are three basic classes which all Dahn Yoga members take as part of their training. This is why you need to meditate, to be able to find the true satisfaction. A satisfaction that would be lasting and be able to meet the needs not only of the individual, but also of the people around the individual.

Starting with the benefits to the individual, meditation has been shown to reduce the impact of stress or depression in life. The routine in life and the disappointments may come as a man being chased by an Ostrich. There is not a time when you would not be running away or chasing after a pressure source or project. With this kind of a lifestyle, you would not be able to keep the focus on why you belong to this world.

This is what meditation provides you with, the ability to refocus your energy to the most important things in life. We all have to always remember the purpose of life to be able to keep to on the right path. This is the only way of being able to keep the original path of man.

Besides these understanding of the cosmic world and our relationship to the higher being, there are some solid benefits that apply to our physical being. If you have always felt tired and unhappy, you may just need to have meditation. This also applies when you are always feeling anxious and frustrated. Deep breathing during

Meditating give one a chance to be able to assess self and find what truly would make one tick. Mediation enables the mind to be calmer and objective. It also provides the body with the ability to improve its bio-energy flow and therefore improve the overall health status.

Along with bio-energy flows that is balanced, is the ability to manage negative energy. This applies to both the mind and body. This is what transforms one from being anxious to peaceful. This should be felt throughout the day and not just during the meditation.

Every brain, like every computer, has an operating system through which it processes the programs it receives. If you have not been able to create your life as you really want, then perhaps you simply can’t run that program on your current brain operating system. To do so would be like trying to run a current computer program on a version of Windows from the 19 8 Os.

Your operating system is the system of beliefs and preconceptions through which you interact with the world. Sometimes these beliefs are very helpful to us if they help us understand the world by helping us process the data that we constantly receive through our senses.

But sometimes our brain operating system is programmed in a way that does not suit our intentions for our like. For example, let’s say you really would love to learn how to draw, hut you have a belief about yourself that says, “I am not talented.

What really matters is not why or how the problem is happening but your relationship to the problem. One thing is definitely true –you will never be able to hate your problem out of existence. What really matters is your attitude about it. To upgrade your attitude, you must first consider how your brain is operating in relationship to the problem.

Upgrading Your Brain Operating System

I see the brain as similar, in some ways, to a computer. Granted, the brain is far more complex and can be modified through self-directed intention, which is certainly not the case with computers. However, I think it is a useful analogy to think in terms of the brain possessing an operating system.

Research has shown that the body and mind function according to ultra biorhythms, cycles in which the body moves from high-energy to low-energy states. At the low point of the cycle, which occurs every 90 to 120 minutes, your energy dips and your mind wanders (Schwartz). In response to this energy deficit, people usually reach for that extra cup of coffee, grab a sugary snack, or just suffer through the feeling of listless fatigue. This kind of habitual behavior in the long run only produces burnout and inefficient working habits. What people really need is an effective way to recharge their energy, rather than to push themselves artificially through the feeling of exhaustion and brain fog.

On top of this tendency, most people’s work is not balanced from the brain’s point of view. These days, most people find that their jobs require a great deal of processing from the prefrontal cortex, especially for left-brain functions, like logical, symbolic, and verbal processing.

I am sometimes frustrated by myself, especially when I failed to keep the promises I made to myself. The next day I thought, “I don’t keep my promise. I am not good enough.” That’s my life pattern. Also, I have a typical thinking patterns I don’t like. I repeat some negative thought over and over again in my mind. I tend to make up a story in my mind that someone will do something bad to me or I will be taken advantage of. I do those things not because I want it, but my brain does that without my intention. I just habitually follow those thoughts. The thoughts create emotions. Emotions create another habits.

I read Ilchi Lee’s message on There is always a new you. I really liked this message. When we first come into this world, we are like a clean blank page. As time goes by, we draw something on the paper. We write something on it. Sometimes we draw positive pictures, and sometimes negative ones. However, the paper itself is never good or bad. We have an countless, infinite number of blank sheets in our brain.

I am very impressed by this: There is always a new you. I can always erase the current drawings on the paper and draw a new one. The thing is we should make a deliberate choice and take relentless action. I really want to apply this into my life. I want to create a new me! That’s one of the biggest messages I learn from the Dahn Yoga Center.
