Having been a victim of childhood abuse, I could not calm myself down, not even for a minute. I would move restlessly all day long, and I couldn’t sit still. When I started Brain Wave Vibration, My body just kept going with no thought of time or anything else. My mind started to calm and to become empty. My body felt so light, like I was floating on air. When we stopped, my mind and body felt so different.

Doing Brain Wave Vibration has had a very noticeable positive change on my mood outside class. I feel more grounded and balanced. The world would be a better place if we all did this everyday.

-Alex Swick, Kipling, CO

Linda Mazur, West Linn writes that I experienced the benefits of Brain Wave Vibration right away. In the early stages, I felt like something was shifting in my body. I felt like my body really wanted to get better, and somehow the vibrations were helping unleash some¬thing from deep inside. With each session, I became stronger and stronger.

Now I am virtually pain free for the first time in a long time, and I am able to walk and enjoy my life as normal. Whenever I feel pain, all I have to do is take ten minutes to feel the rhythm of my own body. It has shifted my whole outlook on the experience of stress and pain in my body and has given me a real sense of control over these things. I think of Brain Wave Vibration as my “balancer.” Even other people have noticed how much calmer and centered I am. All in all, Brain Wave Vibration has been an awesome experience for me.

Restore a healthy energy condition in your body.

In Asian medical systems, health of the body is dependent on the flow of life energy through the body. This energy, called ki or chi, runs through channels in the body called meridians. If these meridians are blocked, pain or disease result. Muscle tension is a common source of energy blockage. Brain Wave Vibration helps release tension that blocks the flow of ki energy in the body, thereby improving your overall sense of vitality and health.

BASIC BRAIN WAVE VIBRATION

LJ. LTIMATELY, YOU CAN DO the training in any number of different postures, and you can create your own postures as you learn to follow the flow of energy and the needs of your body. You can do the training with or without mu¬sic, but you may find that music with a strong basic rhythm will help you get into the natural rhythms of your own body more quickly. The most important point is to just enjoy yourself and to let your thinking mind drift away.

These postures are the most basic forms of Brain Wave Vibration, and I recommend that you folksy them in the beginning. After that, you can start improvising according to the dictates of your bodily needs. Immediately following this chapter YOU will find some variations that many students have found particularly useful.

No one has to teach you to dislike negative energy waves. It is a wisdom already written into your brain. Complex arguments about morality will seem moot if we just learn to respond to energy rather than to each other’s words. Take a look at this list of human attributes:

Happiness
Despair
Honesty
Loyalty
Sadness
Love
Hope
Disdain
Brutality
Gratitude

Developing Infinite Mind

You may wonder why humanity so often chooses negative consciousness vibrations when the brain’s natural inclination is to choose positive ones. In fact, when you look at the events of history and the current state of the world, you might be inclined to think that we choose negatively more often than not.

Basically. Humanity has become addicted to negative information. At some point in our development, perhaps through over dependence on our rational minds, we convinced ourselves that life is all about competition and acquisition.

I believe that all the systems of the body are connected through a system of energy channels. Cultures all over the world have sensed that such an element exists and have given it mam names. The Pacific Islanders call it mana; Australian Aborigines call it joja; Indian Hindus call it prana. Native Americans have many different names for it: maxpe (Crow), waken (Dakota), manitou (Algonquin), to name a few. In Asian cultures, it is known as chi, qi, or ki.

You can feel this energy simply by quieting your mind. Close your eyes for a few seconds. Breathe deeply and just feel the es¬sence of your being, without any thought or judgment. Can you feel the vibrations running over the surface of your skin? Can you feel it emanating from the interior of your being? This is your vibration—the vibration of life, the vibration of the universe.

This phenomenon stems from the brain’s tendency to resonate in accordance with other brains. You know already that your brain produces vibrations called brain waves. This cannot be directly observed, but I believe that these brain waves literally interact with other brains as we interact with people. Thus, we The Language of Life

If your brain waves can have such a dramatic effect on other people, imagine what kind of effect your brain has on your body! Your brain is in constant communication with your body’s various organs and processes. Although we do not precisely know the role of brain waves in this process, it stands to reason that healthy brain waves can help produce a healthy body.

But based on a rational, dispassionate, and fair examination, the very basis of the so-called Ilchi Lee cult melts always. In short, rather than telling anyone how to think, feel or what to believe, Ilchi Lee and his brain-education-related organizations emphasize empowering individuals to take control of their lives on all levels physical, mental-emotional, and spiritual. People who learn to utilize their brain fully do not end up in cults. And if the alleged Ilchi Lee cult would start to form, its brain-educated members would leave it.

To refute the notion of an Ilchi Lee spiritual cult, Lee has stated, “Recognizing the brain is the instrument of spiritual connection does not invalidate any theology. In fact, once you realize the role of the brain in spiritual development, you will see more clearly the power of prayer, meditation, and ritual. All of these things have always had a profound effect on the human brain, but now we are becoming more aware of it. So I would recommend continuing whatever practices are most meaningful to you. Ultimately, all of your spiritual practices will benefit your brain, and understanding your brain will benefit your spiritual practices.

Rather than being an Ilchi Lee cult, his programs and methods of Brain Education, as taught at Dahn Yoga Centers, encourages people to delve deeper into whatever religious practice they might already have whether Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist and the like since Lee’s techniques help individuals learn to focus, meditate and pray, if they wish, with a clearer head, more open heart, and greater physical energy (passion).

Brain Education is a technique taught at more than 600 Dahn Yoga Centers, which are located in cities around the globe. Tens of thousands of people every day practice Brain Education techniques at these centers and many more in their homes. They are encouraged to incorporate spirituality in whatever form they prefer – as part of their mind-body wellness practice. This is not an Ilchi Lee cult; it is genuine education in empowerment.
