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.

Release all tension

Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart. Relax your body completely, breathe comfortably, and close your eves. Bend your knees slightly and release all tension.

Lift your elbows out to the side and place our hands in front of the middle of your chest. Face your palms toward the ground, but keep your hands, shoulders, and arms relaxed. Bend your knees slightly.

Twist your torso from side to side, as though you are spinning on an axis. Twist only your upper body, keeping your hips and thighs completely stationary.

Breathe in deeply and exhale completely.

Continue the motion for several minutes. If you feel pain, breathe into the pain, focusing on directing fresh, healing energy into the area that feels painful. Continue until the motion feels comfortable. After a few minutes, let your arms drop, allowing them to swing side to side.

Abdominal Vibration

This form of Brain Wave Vibration, also known as Dahn-jon Clapping, will help facilitate incredible improvements to your health if you practice it regularly. Abdominal Vibration is among the most effective methods for improving the overall balance of energy in the body as it draws heat energy away from the head and into the abdomen.

This is a classic exercise to begin to stimulate the physical energy of the body. The physical energy is centered in the lower abdomen in what is called the lower Dahn-jon, but many of us, usually because of inactivity, do not have strong lower Dahn-jons. This is a way to reinvigorate the lower Dahn-jon, and thus the physical body as well.

If you suffer from any digestive problems, you should practice this consistently, working up to 1,000 repetitions per dab.

Chest Twist Vibration

This exercise helps release tension from the chest area, which is usually hard to stretch completely through ordinary stretching exercises. It is a good choice when you feel burdened by emotions because it works to open up the chest, which is where we tend to hold emotions like sadness and disappointment. Chest Twist Vibration is also effective for relieving lung problems, such as asthma or bronchitis. During this exercise, focus on moving the chest, not just the arms.

When you first begin this exercise you may feel some pain in the body, which indicates that you have some blockage. Discomfort of this sort is most prevalent in the sides beneath the rib cage and in the spine, but it could be anywhere in the body. If the pain is extremely severe, you should stop, but otherwise it is best to power through the pain to help open the blockage.

Bigger isn’t always better

When people first start practicing Brain Wave Vibration, they sometimes think that making bigger and faster movements will result in better effects, but this is not necessarily so. They are used to thinking that the harder they work at a something, the better the results will be. This is often true, but you must remember that Brain Wave Vibration works on a very different principle than other exercise forms.

Brain Wave Vibration is not about moving the muscles, pumping the heart, or burning calories, although all these things may offer added benefits. Rather, it is about improving the energy system of the body, especially as it relates to your brain. This could mean that very subtle vibrations are all that are needed. In fact, large, flamboyant movements will tend to draw you into the outside world, which is not the desired effect. As you begin, focus on your body to discover your own natural rhythm. Begin with simple, subtle movement and let the sensation grow from there.

Practice anytime, for as long as feels appropriate

Many people say that they cannot stick to their fitness routines because they simply don’t have time. With Brain Wave Vibration, you don’t get to use that excuse. There is no specific amount of time needed to practice it. A session could last from 3 minutes to an hour or more. Any break during the day even while sitting at your desk can be turned into a Brain Wave Vibration break.

The results you get depend on how well you focus and how deep you are willing to go into the vibrations, not on the amount of time you spend doing it. Start with several 3- to 5-minute sessions, and then gradually increase the amount of time you spend on a single session. Eventually work up to sessions of 10 minutes may have some doubts about the method’s validity. Try to empty your mind of these thoughts and just follow the natural wisdom of your body. Remember that there is no right or wrong wav to practice. If you are sincere and are willing to focus on yourself, your results will be excellent.

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.”
