Dahn Jon, Key energy center
Friday, 11 July 2008
Dahn Yoga says a Dahn Jon is a place in the body where energy is gathered and stored. With enough sensitivity training, one can tangibly feel the gathering of energy in the Dahn jon. Basically, Dahn Jon has the same definition as the word chakra, which means “wheel or circle” in Sanskrit.
In Dahn Yoga, we focus on three internal and four external Dahn Jons. The three internal Dahn Jons are located in the lower abdomen (lower Dahn Jon), in the middle of the chest (middle Dahn jon), and in the center of the forehead (upper Dahn jon). The four external Dahn Jons are located on each palm and on the bottom of each foot.
If a Dahn Jon is blocked, it will manifest as a physical disease or ailment. Through exercises and breath work, it is possible to facilitate the flow of enrgy through the Dahn Jon system of the body, resulting in over all balance and health.
