Dahn offers many programs besides the normal classes and I must say that I have taken many of them - Initial Awakening, More than Body, Re-intergration, Shimsung, Healer School, Tao Classes, Power Brain Method, Dahnmudo, Chakra Training, Brain Wave Vibration, Chunja.

Each class/course has helped either in my understanding and/or experiencing the needed experience and ingesting it to my being.

I think the ones that stand out are probably Shimsung, Healer School and Brain Wave Vibration. Although Chakra training is always a wonderful experience. Each one opens me up either physically, emotionally and/or spiritually. And it is a wonderful journey and path.

Before Dahn I would say I was a “normal”, busy, working Mother, - juggling all the different roles and trying to succeed to be a perfect

Mother/Daughter/friend/employee. I think I was going through life as a “robot”. Never really taking time to rest and refresh in the way I should.

I know that I had always had this “gnawing, empty” feeling inside of me, in my chest. I had tried many paths to free myself from this feeling - becoming more observant in my religion; moving from an upper middle class lifestyle to another country and a total cultural and economic change. But nothing seemed to fill that gap or last for long.

Physically I was okay - being a 5 year survivor of colon cancer - but basically I was always a weak person physically.

Mentally I always saw myself as bright and alert - I was excellent in my mental abilities.
Emotionally I was always an emotional person. Very compassionate! I cried very easily - happy tears and sad tears. My emotions were always right below the surface. Everyone always said “Evie would cry at a supermarket opening because she would be happy for the owner of the supermarket” - and that was me, it was true.

After Dahn, I am a much happier person. I feel complete, peaceful - knowing who I am and that “gnawing” emptiness is gone and filled with a beautiful “knowing” and peace.

Physically I am much stronger and more connected to my body. I am in tune with my body and aware of its condition.

Mentally I have learned to be able to use my brain efficiently without letting my brain take over me. Before I was too much in my head. Now there is a much better balance and I am in charge.
Emotionally I am much more in-charge of my emotions. I still feel things deeply but again, I am more able to control my emotions instead of my emotions controlling me.

I am happy with who I am and who I am becoming and I can truly thank Ilchi Lee Dahn for showing me the way to being this person.

I had many, many experiences at different times with Dahn. Some were intellectual undertandings and changing my basic concepts/beliefs that I hold. Others were actual physical experiences or sensations in my body that left me feeling completely refreshed, renewed and filled with love and peace. Energy moving inside of me - releasing pains and blockages - releasing blocked emotions.
At times it was more of a spiritual awakening - feeling a strong connection to a higher source.

In short - that “gnawing emptiness” is gone. I know when I drive to work after class I feel as if all is right with the world - and what could be better than that? Dahn Yoga is the best thing I have ever, ever done for myself!
