As you look at the content of this lesson, you may wonder, “Where are the brain exercises?” You may have expected brainteasers and games to challenge your child’s mind. Yet all of the activities in this lesson are simple physical exercises, not unlike what you would find in a traditional gym class. In actuality, it stimulates the brain because all movement requires intricate coordination between the body and the brain, which helps to create new brain connections. Also, the increased blood flow to the brain that results helps to nourish and sustain the overall health of the brain.
Ilchi lee writes the body is essentially the brain’s connection to the outside world. A person’s brain can have little effect on the surrounding environment if the rest of the body lacks strength and stamina. And the condition of the body drastically affects the functioning of the brain. A sluggish, tired body usually equates with a sluggish, tired brain. A strong, vibrant body generally houses a strong, vibrant brain.

Brain Educator Ilchi Lee gave an opening prayer at the millennium world peace summit of religious and spiritual leaders at the UN in aug, 2000. He says:
1. Lie on the floor with the bottoms of your feet against the feet of your partner. Your knees should be bent 90 degrees, and the weight of your legs should rest comfortably against your partner’s feet.
2. Begin to make large, slow circles with your feet. Reverse and try to “pedal” backward. Make sure that the circle stays round. Count 20 times in each direction.

For this reason, we must help our children develop brains prepared for this expanded role. Through proper education, the world becomes a treasure trove of possibility for our children, rather than a dreaded Pandora’s box of contradictory ideas and misinformation. In the past, educational systems have focused on the storage of facts appropriate to the culture in which they exist. That approach is no longer adequate in today’s complex world. Children must develop skills to make their minds flexible and highly adaptive.
The primary goal of Brain Education is to create “power brains” that are creative, peaceful, and productive. Its intention is not only to make better students but also to create happier, healthier people. While education traditionally emphasizes analytical and verbal skills (consider, for example, the content of the SAT), Brain Education develops interpersonal and interpersonal skills, as well.
Brain research has clearly established that emotional and physical health directly influences children’s ability to learn and consequently affect their performance in school (see Vail). Essentially, the best students are the happiest students. For that reason, Brain Education seeks to enhance learning ability by first creating happier and healthier children. Through consistent BE practice, children gain a sense of empowerment toward the creation of a fulfilling and healthy lifestyle. Here are some articles suggested by Ilchi Lee.

1. Stand on a stable surface with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees so that your hips lower slightly. Allow your arms to drop forward slightly, and relax your shoulders completely.
2. Close your eyes and begin to bounce your hips up and down, following a rhythm that feels natural to your body.
3. Focus on exhaling and releasing tension from your body. Continue bouncing gently for S or more minutes until your body feels fully relaxed.
4. When you are fully relaxed, begin to follow your own vibration. There is no right or wrong posture at this point—just follow what feels natural to you. The vibration may be intense or gentle, depending on your particular needs. You may feel compelled to make dance-like movements as well.
5. As you return to full consciousness, shake out your arms and legs. Breathe in deeply, exhale fully, and sweep down your arms and torso with your palms.

These postures are specially designed to work with the flow of energy of the body for deep healing of problems that are common to most people in modern society. Ilchi lee suggests many of them are especially well suited for centering your energy and for reversing the effects of stress in the body.
Most of us, because of stress, sedentary lifestyle, and busy minds, have something of an upside-down energy condition. Ideally, your energy should be centered in the lower abdomen, but if you arc like most people, your energy is more concentrated in the head. This leads to various common conditions, like headaches, insomnia, high blood pressure, and digestive problems. Including these exercises as part ot vour daily routine will help you return vour energy system to a more healthy state.
The first two can be used as a way to warm up before Full-Body Brain Wave Vibration. Eventually, as your ability to evaluate your own energy conditions improves, you can also create your own variations, but in the meantime, you can give these time-tested versions a try.
