Oom Yung Doe Orange County

One of the main reasons that Traditional Moo Doe is valued so highly is due to the fact that through your practice you can immediately increase your chi and harmonize your condition. Eventually you will attain the ability to diagnose your own condition in order to prevent illness; you will gain the ability to harmonize and correct any mental or physical imbalance. By practicing, you will have a more balanced physical, mental, and spiritual condition. Remember, life is filled with ups and downs so it is important to maintain balance. As you begin to see your condition continuously improve, the strength that you gain through your practice will become available to you at all times during all circumstances of life. With a balanced condition you will be able to change your reality for the better; this is the challenge of life.

It is common to hear people say that they are too busy to properly take care of themselves. Neglecting yourself eventually leads to mental, physical, and spiritual pain, as well as pain that extends on to your loved ones. Maintaining yourself is the key to maintaining your success, because if you lose yourself you will lose all that you have built and all that you have acquired.

In the spring life begins, just as the sun rises in the East; during this time a new seed sprouts. Summer, represented by the South is the time of growth; the new seed begins to develop. In autumn, as the sun sets in the West, life becomes complete; the seed has fully grown. The cold of the North or winter represents the end of life; during this time you connect with your spirit.

First day of spring. Traditional Moo Doe training is the correct way to understand the cycle of life. Just as there are 4 directions(north, south, east and west) and 4 seasons(spring, summer, autumn and winter), humans must also understand and balance their life in order to follow this natural cycle.

Sometimes we take for granted what we have, until we lose it. There are many things in life we don't have control over, but a healthy mind, body and spirit is something we can control. We get busy with our lives and sometimes neglect things. Don't neglect yourself.
