If we all did the things we are capable of,
we would astound ourselves.
Thomas Edison
Great quote. I intend to astound myself!

Through my Dahn practice I feel my self-confidence constantly building.
Transformation
- For years
- I remained
- Hidden from view
- Afraid to show myself
- or my true colors.
- Cloaked
- Concealed
- I endured.
- Waiting for the spring
- with the sunlight
- the signal to emerge.
- Slowly
- Cautiously
- I begin to unfold my wings,
- finding the courage
- discovering my strength.
- In awe
- I marvel at the array
- Deepest sapphire blue
- Renewing amethyst violet
- Tranquil aquamarine
- Iridescent blushing rose
- Sparkling
- Radiant
- I take flight.
- Kirsti A. Dyer, MD, MS

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who make excuses and those who get results. An excuse person will find any excuse for why a job was not done, and a results person will find any reason why it can be done. Be a creator, not a reactor. — Alan Cohen
My Dahn practice has taught me that I am the creator of my life. With that knowledge comes both freedom and responsibility.

I just stumbled upon a really interesting scholarship program, intended to “…recruit, access, and develop leaders among young people of color…” Don’t ask me what this has to do with Dahn Yoga, but it struck me so I thought I would share

| Ilchi Lee: The Potter’s Wheel |
| From a translation of Ilchi Lee’s book The Power of the Brain
A philosophy is like the potter’s wheel upon which the vessel of a person’s character and ability is shaped. Will it catch rain falling from heaven as a cup or a bucket? The amount of rainwater held varies according to the size of the vessel. The world in which our children will live calls for a philosophy great enough to hold in its embrace humanity, the Earth, and the cosmos. |

You have to go through the falling down in order to learn to walk. It helps to know that you can survive it. That’s an education in itself.

But when I speak of using 100% of the brain, I am not talking about using all the physical parts of the brain. I am talking about accessing 100% of its potential. Most people use all the parts of their bains, but very few use 100% of the brains’s full potential

Because it is the thing that creates and controls every aspect of human life. Health, feeling and experience, physical movement, motivation and purpose – all of these are based on brain activity. All life can be improved by better use of our brains

I try to keep these words in mind every day. Thank you Ilchi Lee for such great guidance.
Flower of Harmony
Do not dwell in the past
Nor flow into the future,
Feel the cosmic energy here and now
Create a paradise of heaven and peace
Within the cosmic mind…
Drowning in a sea of attachments
Future, past and present are mere nightmares,
Plans and dreams
Cannot impart the Tao to self and others
They are neither Zen nor Truth.
With and empty mind
Study what you have been given,
Without delay
Study of Principles
Study of Practice
Study of Living
Then you have arrived at Jung-Ji.
Flowers of harmony blossom naturally
In a field of appreciation,
Be a gardener and tend to the flowers
To become a true star of life,
For then you will be a lighthouse
Guiding others home,
You will be a panacea
Healing others wherever you go,
You will have become
A new human.

This poem by Dr. Ilchi Lee is very appropriate for this day of healing.
| The Future of Our Hopes |
| I want to create a beautiful world. I love the planet where I was born, For the roots of my life are in the Earth. I have confidence and conviction that practicing love for humanity and love for the Earth will help save the world and the planet. It’s not that we have an amazing prescription for immediately
By changing the information in our brains, |
The power to save and kill the world and the planet is human consciousness.
