Min Zin

Min Zin is an internal system to generate, store, and transmit “Prana” internal healing energy. There are different techniques for moving this energy whether it be a sitting type of meditation or a moving one like Tai Chi. Practicing yoga forms like Hanthawaddy generates so much internal energy that the mind needs time to recognize and process these currents. “It’s easier when you can experience this energy and wonder what to do with it than it is to work with the imagination on visualizing it.”

The movement of the Min Zin energy system relates to the zones and pathways of the Ko Gahn system. As we become aware of the muscles we use in proper breathing, so we become aware of the energy which arises. The aspect of Min Zin we will be focusing on is, “How to create a center of peace.” When we focus on breathing the mind will calm down. When the mind calms down we become more aware of how breath affects posture. This calms the emotions and raises our awareness. We can then hear our pulse and feel the healing currents. In Hanthawaddy the mind is so occupied setting the triggers or zones and trying to maintain an unstrained breathing pattern, that it has to relax.

The goal of Min Zin can be simplified into protecting oneself from physical, mental, and spiritual imbalances. This also refers to how we heal ourselves from injury and trauma on these levels as well. One needs constant vigilance and self discipline to safeguard against forces which could disrupt one’s harmony on these three levels. Control of mind, breath and emotions are imperative.

We need to become heroes! To take responsibility and control of our lives, to heal our injuries and rise above our traumas! To return victorious from this life having attained our true potential!
