Anger management is a terminology usually used in reference to a set of therapeutic psychological techniques that and exercises that enables a person with excessive anger to control the trigger factors, the level of anger and the impact of the anger. Such services may even be backed by the law in some countries.
Anger management techniques are often specific to the individual because of the varying trigger factors. Because anger is often a result of lack of conflict resolution within a person or between people, the most applied techniques is that of mediation between two parties to eliminate the trigger factor. Other interventions include relaxation by meditation and having a deep breath. Proven anger management techniques include developing empathy and stress management skills. The most powerful however is the ability to forgive. Forgiving is therapeutic for both the person who is aggrieved and the one that is an aggressor.
Psychologists recommend a set of anger management techniques that are aimed at controlling the emotions while allow expression of the anger in a healthy way. This is important because anger is a natural part of body language and cannot be avoided completely.
Here are a few of the prescribed anger management techniques:
Being honest about the feeling: Admission of disappointment or annoyance from a behavior is a good step towards anger management. Anyone who has a problem should be trained to be express their anger through body language and words without being violent.
Considerate or tolerant: This is another very important anger management skill. The person who is angry is encouraged to express their anger in a manner that will not lead to a feeling of manipulation or blackmail from the other person. The bottom line is that the human rights and dignity of the other person must not be abused.
Sticking to the specific issue: More often than not a person who is expressing anger may invoke previous disappointments or dwell on issues that are not directly related to the particular event that caused the anger. Anger management techniques encouraged a person to express their anger and voice their disappointments reference to the particular issues at hand. This will encourage corrective measures than trying to create guilt feeling.
Dahn Yoga claims: Dahn Yoga promotes health, happiness and peace, but it is also a business. Like other health related business, Dahn Yoga offers a variety of classes and programs.

They are based on the system of energy pathways used by acupuncturists to promote health and to treat diseases. Theoretically, if an energy pathway related to a particular organ is completely open, it will ensure total health in that organ. These exercises help open energy pathways related to the specific organs.

“Feel your brain.” You frequently hear this at Dahn Centers, especially during Brain Respiration training. Although the brain processes all the information that it receives through its sense nerves, it does not possess receptors that allow it to feel itself. So, how then can we “feel our brain?”
To begin, we must understand that our body is composed of matter, energy and information. Matter flows through our body via blood vessels, information flows through our body via the nervous system and energy flows through our body via meridians. Just like the vascular and nervous systems, meridians direct energy to the organs of the body. Ilchi Lee
Although we cannot ordinarily feel the flow of this energy, we can when we concentrate, keeping our focus on the “here and now.” It is through focused awareness of energy that we can feel the brain. Each person possesses a different degree of this awareness, but anyone can easily cultivate this sense through concentration and practice. An example of this sense is the ability to sense the “atmosphere” of a place or situation. The degree of this sense depends on how sensitive your senses are and how focused your consciousness is.
The most effective way to feel your brain is to utilize your hands and head (scalp). Our palms are very sensitive to energy because they contain energy points that are connected to our entire body. Our scalp contains several important energy centers (or acupressure points) and functions as the conduit through which energy enters and exits. Important energy points include the Baek-hoe at the top of the head, the Ah-mun at the back of the head, the Tae-yang at the temples, and the In-dang at the center of the forehead. These energy centers are also linked to the various lobes of the brain: the Baek-hoe corresponds to the parietal lobe (sense of touch), the Ah-mun to the occipital lobe (vision), the Tae-yang to the temporal lobe (hearing and memory) and the In-dang to the frontal lobe (reasoning and emotion).

At the Dahn Center where I work, in Newton, Massachusetts, members anticipate Fridays with excitement and trepidation. They love how they feel after class on Fridays. But they don’t always love the process. On Fridays we do an intensive exercise to release stress that combines vibration exercise, (jin-dong), and Yeon-dahn, where participants hold a posture for 20-25 minutes.
Friday classes are for purification. First, we pat our bodies all over to awaken the blood and energy flow. Then we dance around the room wildly, eyes closed, to traditional Korean drumming music (Salmunori). We sweat, breathe hard, and release accumulated tension and fatigue from our bodies, finishing class by accumulating new energy through Yeon-dahn.
At the end of class, we finally rest. The last few minutes of breathing are luscious and pure. Our rest is well earned. Our bodies and minds feel light and clean. To immerse yourself in vibration exercise, you must understand its purpose. The exercise allows you to access Yuln’yo, the deepest vibration within your being, which originates in your brain stem. Hidden, it makes you breathe, allows your heart to beat, and sustains your life. Lost in our emotions and thoughts,we are not normally in contact with this vibration. However, during vibration training, you can move out of your conscious mind and into your unconscious. As you access this “no thought, just act” mode, your body will move freely and creatively. You can release stagnant energy that has accumulated from too many emotions, too much thinking, and too little action. Yuln’yo will open your heart and heal your body.
