When the body is in balance and optimal health is achieved, the water
energy is located in the head and the fire energy is maintained in
the abdomen. Dahnhak calls it "Water up/Fire Down(Water-Up-Fire-
Down)"
In the state of "Su-Seung-Hwa-Kang", the water energy in the kidneys
goes up and the fire energy in the heart comes down. The upward flow
of water energy makes the brain cool and fresh and the downward flow
of fire energy keeps the abdomen warm. In this state, the body's
system of energy circulation automatically functions well to maintain
optimal health and peace of mind. After restoring the body back to
balance through Dahnhak practice, "Su-Seung-Hwa-Kang" is the natural
state of a healthy body.
Toe Tapping Exercise helps circulation to the lower extremities and
