Dahn Yoga & Diabetes Management

The management of diabetes involves a number of crucial considerations. The most important of these is the role that the patient plays in managing their own condition. More than any other factor, an individual is the most important ingredient to their condition. Diabetes management may include any of the following: Adherence to a strict diet and exercises, and the in-taking of medicine either orally or by injection.

Diabetes management however is complicated by other factors, some of which the patient has little control over. These include other illnesses, the effect of stress as well as the development of scars where constant injection occurs. This not withstanding, a patient can manage diabetes effectively provided they make some level of commitment.

Diabetes can be effectively managed through yoga. The discipline that is associated with yoga can help patients live long productive lifestyles. As noted earlier, diet and exercise for diabetics are critical considerations. Usually, if these two are well managed, the need to use drugs is highly minimised. Diet and exercise both require a certain level of discipline and motivation. The mind needs to develop commitment and be connected with the body such that such commitment is implemented by the body.

Yoga has physical benefits such as better blood circulation and burning of excess fat in the body. Besides these, there is also the added mental and emotional benefits that are gained through meditation and focus. It is associated with better stress management, improved self worth and better mental focus.

Management of diabetes needs all these benefits. Improved blood circulation not only helps better circulate oxygen in the blood but also transports sugar faster to the body’s cells. This process helps keep a patient’s energy levels up. Certain stretching that is associated with yoga helps circulate energy better in the body their by keeping the patient active. The relaxation associated with yoga also helps keep an individual’s blood pressure in balance and reduces irritability.

One of the most important advices that doctors will give a diabetes patient is the need to learn and understand their own bodies so as to better manage their conditions. In diabetes, you are your own best doctor. This goal is very much in sync what yoga helps people achieve: a better connection with self. An individual with a raised self awareness has power to manage self with high degree of effectiveness. For a diabetic, there can be no better asset than this increased self awareness.

A special type of yoga called Dahn Yoga has one additional advantage that is work mentioning especially with regards to diabetics. It focuses on increasing the connections between the body and the mind through simple exercises that are easy to do for people of all ages and sizes.

Brain Mastery

The phrase brain mastery probably makes you think of something slightly different than what 1 mean by the term. Brain mastery does not mean being smart or being able to perform mental tricks. Rather, brain mastery is the ability to maintain a proper relationship between your brain and the outside world.

If you are a brain master, you have an almost uncanny ability to stay in the moment and to not be swept away by thoughts and emotions. You can control your attitude and keep a positive mind-set, regardless of the situation. And most importantly, a master of the brain never loses hope, no matter how dark the situation gets.

I remember one time when I was a young man there was a bridge under which people threw a lot of garbage. The garbage just piled up week alter week. Peopk- complained about the garbage, but no one ever did anything to change the situation.

Ilchi Lee Earth Citizen And Consistent Vibration

It is very important to pay attention to the experience of energy in your body as you practice Brain Wave Vibration. Energy is the real stuff of life, and it is through energy that oneness reveals itself. If you can quiet your mind sufficiently, you will sense this in your body as a subtle but consistent vibration.

If you allow this sensation to expand, you will not sense any end to this energy and you will glimpse the infinite nature of the universe. This greater cosmic energy I call Chun-ji-ki-un, which literally translates as “the circulation of heaven and earth energy.” To connect to this energy is to connect to the ultimate energy pulsing through all of existence—what some may call the Source and others call God.

There is a part of your brain that exists to connect to this energy. You can conceptualize it as a radio receiver picking up invisible messages from the cosmos. When your brain waves are agitated, it is like static interrupting the signal. Please use Brain Wave Vibration as a way to clear out the static and tune in to the greater peace and serenity of the cosmos.

Experiencing Oneness Ilchi Lee Educator

The question then is how to return to this place of oneness. I believe that it is through quieting the mind and the experience of energy that we can return. Brain Wave Vibration can open the door to this possibility because it offers a way to stop the thinking mind, even if only for a few minutes. When you practice well, you will feel a disintegration of the surface of your body. Of course, it is not a literal disintegration—your skin and the rest of your body will remain intact. What you will realize, however, is that you do not end there, that your being goes far beyond the confines of your body. You will experience that directly, not just as an intellectual concept.

I once had a student who was a Buddhist monk. Like most monks, he spent many hours a day meditating, looking for that very state of oneness. He was very distracted, however, because he found that his health began to deteriorate. He could not sleep or sit still for long because of serious kidney problems. He began to practice Brain Wave Vibration and had immediate improvements in his health, and was finally able to focus properly for meditation. He says he now knows what Buddha meant when he said, “Find truth in your body; outside you will not find it in a thousand years.”
