I had the opportunity to have one class of this very interesting style of meditation. Much of class consists on doing exercises to prepare the mind and body for meditation. The exercises range from callesthenic-type movements to yoga-like movements with a focus on Danjeon breathing. There is also a self-pounding component where you slap various parts of your body (not to the point of pain just to get the energy flowing). The main center is in Insadong, but Miryam will be coming to the Well Being Studio (near the Well Being Shop in Itaewon) to teach two days a week starting in September. Details (ignore the dates) and contact info for Miryam are below:
My name is Miryam and I am a meditation instructor.
I offer this course in the Well being studio in Iteawon.
The fee for this course is: 80,000W.

The Power of Breathing
When I arrived to Seoul two years ago with my husband and two children, I knew in my heart that I would like to experience meditation in Seoul.
I entered the “breathing School” Suseonjae. Only in Korea at the Seon Meditation Center in Insadong, I heard about Danjeon breathing and why it is so important to practice breathing. Now I wish to share how to breathe properly.
The Danjeon is the “point of life” located 5 cm below our belly button. When you cough, you can feel this point rising up first. Little babies breath from this spot naturally, however, they lose it over the years. It is the place of gut-feelings, the sixth sense and intuition.
Why practice breathing?
The benefits of breathing through the Danjeon are numerous:
Increasing concentration,
Getting fit body and mental health,
Releasing mental and physical stress,
Getting rid of back, shoulder and spinal pain and so much more…
After you breathe everyday for six month you can get to the stage of feeling through the Danjeon. If you reach this stage you start thinking, seeing and hearing through the whole body, you just know! Know what to do in every situation; know the direction in life you should follow. You become one with yourself. At this point everything becomes clear. You can even discover your mission in life!
Come and join this special opportunity and learn how to breathe and meditate. It will relax your body and mind leaving you fresh and calm to deal with everyday’s life challenges.
Through this special course we will learn how to manage our body and mind.
If you are ready for a change in your life, join us!
