Dahn Yoga Training Discussion

Discussion: These results present some interesting contrasts to what one might expect from a developmental perspective. Rather than the Dahn Masters being more like the other adults, the energy fields of this group were much more like the youth and children. Given that all of these individuals began the Dahn practice as adults, it seems unlikely that their energy fields simply remained like children or adolescents. Rather, it is more likely that the energy fields changed through the Dahn practice, having a strong influence on the field itself.

One weakness with the current study is that the groups are confounded by culture. While there are a small percentage of Asian-Americans, African-Americans, and Hispanics in the children, youth, and adult group, the Dahn Masters are primarily from the Korean culture. Given the dominance of one culture in the first three groups and another culture within the Dahn Masters group, there may be a cultural influence that affects the results in some way. Ilchi Lee says that in the future, we hope to conduct a similar study within one culture.
