How can Expect to exist peacefully for yourself and others
Jul 28th 2008Phil LawstoneDahn Yoga & Ilchi Lee
In Dahn Yoga Peace is not an abstract concept. Peace is the nature of our very lives. The most basic function of our lives, the breath, is peace incarnate. What would happen if you stopped breathing for even one minute? Would you level peaceful? How would you feel if you were able to breathe in but could not breathe out? What would happen it you could cat as much as you wanted to eat, but could not excrete, or drink as much as you wanted to drink but you could not urinate? If you have ever suffered from severe constipation, you know how uncomfortable you would be. This is why I say peace is like breathing. Peace is a natural and uninterrupted rhythm of life.
The breathing cycle illustrates the balance and rhythm of life. Oxygen enters the body and our lungs expel carbon dioxide by breathing. Without circulation of breath, we cannot maintain life.
