Focus is key to resumes, job search

One of the many benefits of Dahn Yoga DVDs is that they can teach one to become a more focused and centered person, which a recent article from the Boston Globe says is crucial in the job search.

The article follows the story of Petko Savov an immigrant from Bulgaria as he struggled to find fulfilling employment in the U.S. despite being college educated and having some experience in the marketing industry.

Savov spent a number of years working in the restaurant business until he met with two employment coaches with Jewish Vocational Service in Boston. The news source reports that the coaches helped Savov organize and focus his resume, which ultimately led to him being hired as a procurement administrator for a software company.

“I am so excited about this job that I could barely hold myself from jumping in the air on account that I might jinx it,” Savov told the news provider.

Savov’s story illustrates the importance of having an organized and focused resume. A resume that is to the point and clearly expresses one’s qualifications and work experience will more likely catch the eye of hiring managers than one that is rambling and not coherent.

Modulating brain waves may get bodily health in order

Taking care of one's mental well-being is an integral part of staying fit and healthy. Whether an individual does daily exercises or practices yoga and meditation, the life of the mind can be stimulated by relaxing the body. Likewise, galvanizing the brain can have benefits for physiological health, which is why Dahn Yoga brain wave vibration, a type of moving meditation, may be employed to ensure happiness and positivity.

As explained in the DVD Dahn Yoga Essentials, Dahn Yoga brain wave vibration is the employment of yoga and meditation to unlock the mind's full potential.

In essence, one may nurture the brain's natural waves by engaging in relaxation techniques, deep breathing, stretching, meridian channeling and tai chi.

As the body decompresses and releases toxins, the mind begins to operate on new, positive frequencies, giving it access to heretofore unrealized vistas of optimism and vitality.

Brain wave vibration also tunes up the connection between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems in the body, according to an article in Natural Health. In this way, the mind is freed to explore its full potential.

Dahn Yoga reviews, testimonials are overwhelmingly positive

A typical Western lifestyle, punctuated with bills, health problems and traffic jams, can quickly smother individuals who have no outlet for their stress. In the U.S., where tension significantly contributes to public health problems like high blood pressure and poor heart health, many people are turning to Dahn Yoga exercises for comfort and peace.

A number of Dahn Yoga reviews attest to the fact that the regimen can help people overcome the hassles of everyday life.

"I have released so much emotional heaviness through trainings [and] workshops," writes one member from Westchester, New York, adding that "Dahn Yoga not only healed me, but also helped me to go inside and find my true self."

Many reviewers have noted that Dahn Yoga can be an effective way to unburden oneself of an emotional onus, particularly in times of severe medical hardship.

Another reviewer from the Schaumburg Center in Illinois states that Dahn Yoga has helped her find peace ever since her husband developed a severe form of cancer.

She notes that even though she is still facing monumental difficulties each day, the relaxation techniques and breathing exercises she practices help her cope with them.

"I have become more hopeful and positive, and really try to radiate positive loving energies to those around me, despite of whatever negativities there are," she writes. "The overall effect is peace and contentment."

Yoga classes can expose individuals to variety

At their core, Dahn Yoga classes are about reintroducing balance into one's life. This harmony can be arrived at in many ways, which is why mental and spiritual practices often accompany the physical ones. One of the more embracing ways in which Dahn Yoga classes attempt to restabilize practitioners' lives is by exposing them to individuals of both genders, as well as all creeds, races and ages.

A 2008 market study published by the Yoga Journal found that, among other inequalities in the yoga world, far more women attend yoga and meditation classes than men. More than 72 percent of U.S. yogis are women. Fewer than a third are men.

Similarly, just 18 percent of respondents were over the age of 55. The remainder was evenly split between 18- to 34-year-olds and those between the ages of 35 and 54.

This sort of asymmetry is not conducive to holistic life balance. Practicing yoga with one, narrow stripe of individuals can keep practitioners from discovering new and deeply pleasing interpersonal bonds.

For that reason, Dahn Yoga classes accept and encourage members of any age, creed or ethnicity to attend and attain wholeness together.

Dahn Yoga DVD teaches pain relieving exercises

Having a debilitating condition can make everyday tasks taxing and even painful, which is a why a Dahn Yoga DVD has been created to help people manage pain and revitalize their bodies. The disc, titled Dahn Yoga for MS and Similar Conditions, is intended to help those with multiple sclerosis reduce muscle spasms and fatigue.

March is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, a time to reflect on a disease that affects as many as one in 670 Americans. MS is an autoimmune condition that affects the body's nerves. Over time, the immune system slowly degrades the myelin sheaths that coat the nerves of the brain and spinal cord, the National Institutes of Health reports.

Because MS cause the muscles to spasm, go numb or tingle, it is important to learn effective pain management techniques. The Dahn Yoga DVD offers a number of methods for controlling aches, twitching and even the emotions.

The video itself, which is about an hour long, was inspired by yoga practitioner Cathy Downie, an MS sufferer who found significant relief through Dahn Yoga postures and meditation.

Denver-area dentist advises yoga technique for toothaches

Among other Dahn Yoga benefits, the regimen's energy channeling and self healing techniques can contribute to more effective pain management among people with back aches, joint aches and even toothaches.

Recently, a dental assistant in Wheat Ridge, a community outside of Denver, Colorado, recommends that her clients reap the benefits of Dahn Yoga during a dental visit.

Using the brain wave vibration system she learned in her local Dahn center, Maxine Wagoner of Johnson Dental demonstrates for her patients how to relax away some of the aches associated with tooth decay or dental visits, the Denver Post reports.

According to the newspaper's column Husted, the assistant shows patients how to breathe deeply while gently rotating their head from side to side, allowing some of the painful energy to flow from their bodies.

A study of yoga and pain management published in the International Journal of Psychosomatics used a toothache as an example of pain that needs remedying, perhaps through yoga. Author Karel Nespor said that "an ideal treatment of pain should decrease distress, and in the same time it should maintain or even increase self-awareness."

As members learn more advanced Dahn Yoga exercises, they may find that they can alleviate some of their aches through calm meditation and deep breathing.

Springfield hosts Dahn Yoga books event

An array of Dahn Yoga books, compact discs and DVDs will be available at a Borders bookstore in Springfield, Virginia, on February 19. The store, located a dozen miles outside the Washington, DC, area, will also host free classes on achieving good health through contemplation.

Instructor Jane Gordon, who is also a local eighth grade teacher, plans to lead a class for children just after midday. She will teach them Dahn Yoga breathing techniques, stretching, posture and basic circulation exercises.

Gordon is a member of the Burke Dahn Yoga center, which will be organizing the event. She that that she is "so happy to be sharing fun and relaxing exercises with customers and employees at Borders this weekend."

The classes offered will focus on the primary concept found in Dahn Yoga books, which is the reconnection of the overworked body and the overtaxed mind. The purpose of engaging in its relaxation techniques is, according to many of its members, to allow the mind to regroup and focus on good health.

Once breathing and meditation have relaxed the body into a still state of peace, Dahn Yoga assists the mind in exploring its surroundings, ultimately revealing the reciprocity between it and all things.
