This is interesting in that I am physically active and understand and have long been (without prior Dahn-Yoga study) practicing the principles outlined by Ilchi Lee in his “Human Technology” book (which I read cover-to-cover the night you gave it to me.). I practice other forms of Yoga, Tai-chi, Kung-Foo, as well as sports activities, on a regular basis. And I have close personal friends who are professional “life-coaches” who are constantly keeping me directed toward “enlightenment and self-realization” through varous forms of meditation, breath-work, prayer, plus private and group “therapy” sessions. So I’ve had no lack of advice, encouragement, and action to develop at the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels … and have progressed much over the years. But Ilchi Lee seems to have done the best job of explaining and integrating concepts and practices to a form that best resonates with my being.
Appreciatively Yours,
