When the brain harmonizes with the rhythm of music performed with the intention of healing, the mind becomes calm, muscles release tension, and the body naturally heals itself.

Donna Lovong Wonjangnim and Misty Elfer Dowoonim were inspired to create a class series at the Champion Center in Houston, Texas, called “The Healing Power of Music” when they were looking for ways to raise funds for Young Earth Human Alliance (YEHA) members. Misty, a professional violinist, also wanted to overcome performance anxiety, play her instrument without pain, and help others heal through music.

Each month, participants enjoy playful warm-up exercises and meditate on a beautiful message from the book Brain Wave Vibration by Ilchi Lee to start an evening of self-healing and yulyo, the rhythm of the universe.
 
They strengthen their dahnjon with the vibrations of a drumbeat, stir their heart with a violin melody, and lift their spirit with the light tune of a flute. Afterwards, with big smiles and bright faces, they share with each other about the deep relaxation and vivid imagery they experienced.

With a little courage and a lot of love and laughter, Dahn Yoga members at the Champion Center experience deep self-healing with the power of music.
