Bowing: A Moving Meditation for Personal Transformation

I recently took some Dahn Yoga classes and during one of the private sessions, I was instructed to do bowing exercise. Teacher instructed me how to warm up, she e-mailed me 2 pieces of music: one to use for warm up and another one to use for bowing exercise. The intention was that music will time the effort and I would not need ot be distracted with keeping the track of the time. I then realized there was a book about bowing and i decided to purchase it on Amazon.It is important to mention that bowing as form of meditation is conceived by Ilchi Lee, founder of the Dahn Yoga. Luckily, this book was written by someone who is a much bettr writer that Ilchi Lee himself. Book also has very nice black and white illustrations that explain visually bowing movements from start to finish. It is convenient little book, hardback, that is quick and easy to read. Bowing as an exercise is definitely something I recommend. I only wish that the book, just like my instructor's directions, came with music DVD or MP3. Beginners of this meditation method would benefit a lot from it. Needless to say, book recommends purchase of a DVD that is useful for this practice. One of this days, I will buy it, simply because I am very much interested in the ancient text associated with the music, that so far has not been translated from Korean language to English....For anyone looking to combine physical exercise with mindful meditation, this is a perfect book. One can choose number of bows and keep increasing the number with the built of stamina. Not to mention that bowing can be adjusted to fit any fitness level.

Beautiful simple book . Expresses a deeper meaning to the bowing practice while connecting deeper inside yourself. Connects you to heaven and Earth to show our link to both.

Thank you for this wonderful book. It arrived on a timly basis ......good read if you are into Dahn yoga.

Fast shipping! Very nicely written

Beautifully written and illustrated, this allows you to develop humility and focus through the sacred act of bowing. Thank you so much for your service.

Bowing explained and great illustrations.

I love it! Helped me to become humbling in a positive way. I only bow a few times each session to begin my meditation routine.

I enjoy the main contents of this book and have benefited from using bowing as a regular practice, but frankly, a lot of the content is repetitive in an attempt to add bulk and the book is very small. You can read it in less than 15 minutes. I don't see any good reason to buy it if you can borrow it.
