quickly experience the benefits of optimum health even from

between body and Ki-energy, along with beginning to control
their body, practitioners feel happier about themselves.
As the Dahn Yoga practice continues, they begin to comprehend
experientially the basic principles of the Universe and
life, and finally reach the goal of Dahn Yoga: Authentic health,
happiness and peace. The following is a brief outline of
the five steps and their benefits to the practitioners.
The Dahn Yoga, created by Ilchi Lee, practice begins with experiencing Ki-energy.
Meridian Exercise and Energy Sensitivity Training help the
beginners feel Ki-energy, relax their bodies and discover
their inner consciousness. The results are improved physical
condition, enhanced concentration, and freedom from anxiety
and stress.
At this step, the Lower Dahn-jon (an energy spot in the
abdominal area) is developed and Ki-energy is accumulated
in their lower Dahn-jon. Meditative Breathwork and Energy
Meditation and Dynamic Meditation are taught. Practitioners
benefit from these exercises that support the healthy functioning
of the internal organs and the removal of toxins from the
body. The natural healing power of the body is activated,
thus, removing many physical problems that might have existed
prior to the start of the Dahn Yoga practice. As a result
of feeling better, people also begin to feel more self-confident
and start practicing positive thinking.
During this step, the Middle Dahn-jon (an energy spot in
the chest) is awakened. The result is and experience of
habitual joy and peace. An immediate result is the spontaneous
correction of any misalignment of the body structure. Interpersonal
relationships begin to change as a result of the practitioners’
new image of themselves. And in some cases, people stop
addictive behaviors such as smoking, drinking and drugs.
At this point, all the meridian channels of the body are
opened. The connection to the microcosmic energy circuit
of the universe is completed. The practitioners understand
the mystery of life, experience unconditional love and feel
an increase in creativity. The Dahn Yoga practitioners can access
their potential and achieve their goals, they use their
body and mind and their physical, mental and spiritual powers
to benefit their neighbors and the whole humankind.
At this step they experience free Ki-energy
communication with Nature.
