Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Best wishes for a wonderful 2009!

At UBE, we started off the New Year with bowing at 4 in the morning (the energy is very strong and pure at this time of day so it is much easier to connect with yourself). At 4:30, we all ventured outside to join a few thousand Dahn Yoga Masters and Members for a ceremony. Everyone lit a candle to symbolize their vision for the year and chose a card with a character from the Chun Bu Kyung, an ancient text, to represent their fortune for the year. People gathered around bonfires to keep warm but Brain Wave Vibration helped with that too! Later, everyone went inside Kukhakwon where 5 floors of people watched demonstrations by YEHA (Young Earth Human Alliance) members and shared breakfast together--a rice cake soup traditionally eaten at New Year's (ddeok gook) and, of course, kimchi.
