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.

Sit in a chair with your arms resting comfortably at your sides or in front of you on a desk. You may also sit on the floor in a half-lotus posture. When sitting in a chair, do not lean your back against the chair, but keep your back straight. Close your eyes and breathe comfortably, relaxing your body completely.

Begin gently shaking your head from side to side. It is normal to hear some noise from the neck as you begin, but this will lessen with practice. Breathe fully, focusing especially on the exhalation.

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.

Every achievement of humankind—from the prehistoric paintings on cave walls to rockets blasting into outer space all began with a thought conceived in someone’s brain. We communicate these thoughts to the world also by means of vibration through the words we speak, the ways we touch, and the actions we create. When these thoughts find accord with the thoughts of others, truly amazing things happen and even entire planets can be transformed sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

There is one key player in all this vibratory communication. It is what is responsible for both receiving and producing the vibrations that shape the quality and content of our lives. It is the human brain.

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.

The worst is when you give yourself this information. Your brain will take you very seriously if you tell yourself that you are not good enough or that you are lacking in any way. It will live up to what you tell it you can do, so always give it clear and positive information about yourself. You can acknowledge that you have shortcomings to work on, but you should not think that your faults are a permanent part of who you are. When doing Brain Wave Vibration, imagine that you are shaking all of this kind of limiting information out of your brain.

Science, tending to reject that which cannot be directly observed, usually dismisses the notion of life energy as superstitious and irrational. In the past, however, many scientists sought proof of what they called elan vital, an invisible life force that animates living creatures. Unable to find such proof, scientists have tended to prefer a more mechanistic understanding of life, and they reject this concept.

However, they do know that one measurable form of energy docs play a role in the body—bioelectricity. Bioelectricity is the language used by the brain to communicate with all the organs of the body, telling them when to spring into action, when to speed up, and when to slow down. Signals arc sent down through the nervous system via nerve fibers, which signal a myriad of biological processes, from muscle movement to organ functions.
