To Nicholas and Jung Hyun, recent graduates of the 47th term of the Dahn Yoga Masters in Training Program. I know the Boston Dahn Yoga centers are lucky to have them as part of their staff! Members will learn a lot from them.

One member came to the center almost a year and a half ago ready to heal her diabetes. She has been so constant and diligent in her practice. She comes 5 days a week and does homework exercises regularly. She even took the basic workshops, loves YEHA/DMD Dance night, and did group healing classes. She became very sensitive to the food she ate, meaning she can really feel what different foods do to her body. So she changed her eating  habits as well. It took a lot of time and effort, but finally her blood sugar is maintaining itself at a normal level, even when she indulges in not so healthy foods. She was so happy when she told me this today! I am so happy she is accomplishing her goal

Our regional Dahn Mu Do trainer has made a sleek blog for Dahn Mu Do in Massachusetts! You can see all of the instructors, classes, and special training and demonstration times. You can even leave comments!

Those of you who were there aleady know how heart-warming the YEHA/Phoenix Project Holiday Heart-Warmer was. Thirty-six Dahn Yoga members from around the greater Boston metro area attended, some bringing friends. They ate, participated in a silent auction, saw dance and DahnMuDo performances, and danced and did DahnMuDo themselves. The Phoenix Project raised over $1000 from the event and the attendants seemed to renew and refresh that precious Dahn healing community. If anyone has anything to share about the night, please feel free to comment here!

Lately Brain Wave Vibration (BWV) Training has been all the rage at Dahn Yoga centers around the world. On dahnyogany.com, I found this sharing from Japan:

 A late 20’s female member in Japan said that after not having a menstrual cycle for over ten years after an earth quake trauma, she started having it soon after BWV training classes. Once she gave up being a woman, but she got her womanhood back through the training.

We had Shim Sung here at the Jamaica Plain this past weekend. I actually don’t know what to say about it because it was basically the usual Shim Sung. But every Shim Sung is so amazing and special for everyone involved, staff and participants (whether the participants all like it or not, it is usually amazing and special), that I feel like it’s good news. My whole body is still going, “Shim Sung! Shim Sung! Shim Sung!”

This celebratory spirit will be carried on this week at the Jamaica Plain Center by the  Holiday Potluck party tomorrow night, the beginning of the 21-day Shim Sung followup right afterwards, and the YEHA Holiday-Heartwarmer on Friday.

What’s going on in your center this month?

It seems like winter is officially here with the end of November and the arrival of cold weather today. But things were warm inside the Dahn Center despite the cold outside.

In the past couple of days I’ve begun to reach out to healthcare agencies and other businesses around Jamaica Plain to offer them group rates for their employees.

Many people decided to continue with their Dahn training today, including one JP member who was going to stay away for a few months because she was too busy with school and was going away. She decided she couldn’t stay away

Here is some news from David healer nim’s newsletter to the Dahn Healer community. It is a great resource:

BRAIN MANAGEMENT:  The new book from Ilchi Lee is out and just got reviewed on Yahoo.     http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20071109/bs_prweb/prweb567653_2

SHIM SUNG AT WENDY’S!  No, not the burger place.  Wendy Hall runs an independent yoga studio called Roots To Wings on the north shore.  After studying Dahn, she began teaching it at her studio.  It’s become so popular, she teaches it twice a week now.  Also, she has many members that want to do shim sung.  Here is a note from her:

Chun Shim Nim are leading a Heart Opening Workshop at my studio which is open to the public on Wed Nov, 28 from 7-9 PM.  I have attached some information regarding this event.  In addition I will be hosting Shimsung here at my studio in February of 2008.  If any healers have family or friends that live in this area that may want to attend either event please have them get in touch with me.

In today’s news:

Dahn Instructor Ari Laquidara, currently at the Brookline Center, will be leaving us this week for a little over a month to train with DahnMuDo Master Jang, head of DahnMuDo in the United States. Good Luck Ari nim!

Yesterday, Nora nim, who is in charge of the Brain Education program in schools for the United States, did a presentation at the Germaine-Lawrence school in Arlington. Apparently the teachers who attended were impressed an excited. Please share any comments here if you know more about what will happen next.

Colorful hotpacks arrived at your center today as a fundraiser for the Phoenix Project. These are great to put on your dahn-jon or shoulders (or anywhere) to relax them or reduce pain. They make great gifts. The Phoenix Project is a program of the non-profit Dahn Foundation that awakens the power of young adults and gives them an opportunity to use it in the community through service projects. All proceeds go directly to the Phoenix Project.

Tonight is our monthly Special Healing Night at the Jamaica Plain Center! Open to the public, anyone can come and learn tools to heal their common ailments based on energy and the meridian system.

Have a great day!

Kue Ho Lee just arrived this week from the Brea Center in Orange County, California. Based in Andover Center at the moment, Master Lee is Boston’s newest regional DahnMuDo trainer. He has been busy this week starting private DahnMuDo healing with many members. On Sunday, November 25th, he will lead the DahnMuDo workshop at the Beacon Hill Center from 9 am to 5 pm. I haven’t seen Master Lee’s stuff yet, but he’s received rave reviews from everyone who has.

I’m very excited with the anticiption of DahnMuDo growing in New England! I love how grounded, real, and open DahnMuDo makes me feel. I am able to feel much closer to my true self through DahnMuDo exercise.
