Acknowledge the connection

In fact, medical science is increasingly willing to acknowledge the connection between mind and body. It is clear that our attitudes and emotions can affect our overall health. But how are our body and mind connected?

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.

Brain Resonance

All of your five senses are dependent on messages in the form of vibrations reaching your brain. But you may have one more sense of which you are less aware. You have felt this sense if you have ever had your mood affected by someone else. Perhaps you were in a persistently glum mood, and suddenly a cheerful person lifted you out of your cloud. Or maybe the opposite happened, and someone’s internal anger contributed to your own growing sense of irritation.

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.

Life Is Vibration

People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life…

I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.

Joseph Campbell, mythologist

M. OU ARE A BEING DESIGNED to perceive vibration. All of your senses are made to collect different kinds of information from the world around you through vibration. When you look at something, your eyes are receiv¬ing and processing the waves of light as they appear in the form of shape and color. When you hear, your ears funnel in the vi¬brations of sound, which your brain translates into meaningful interpretations of reality. When certain oscillations and combination of sound are especially pleasing, you call it music; when the sound of words arc moving, you call it poetry. When you touch something, you perceive the dance of molecules beneath your fingertips some moving quick and hot, others slow and cold. When you run your fingers over the surface of an object, vibrations inform the peripheral nerves just below the surface of the skin, helping you make judgments about shape, size, and texture. Even when you smell and taste, the experience is de¬pendent on the vibratory interplay of molecules interacting with your own molecular makeup.

Criteria Belie Existen

There are always cults, typically religious or spiritual based, in the world. And there are people who present themselves as experts on the nature of a cult, the identity of specific cults, and as able to deprogram people who have been cult members. But there is a tendency for them to expand their business by labeling more and more organizations as cults. While unwarranted by the key cult standard who has the power, leaders or members), these experts have named the Ilchi Lee cult.

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.

TYPES OF BRAIN WAVES By , Ilchi Lee Earth Citizen

We know concretely that the brain transmits its own special brand of energy, called brain waves, which are associated with various states of consciousness. Interestingly, it is now the absence of these waves, rather than the cessation of the beating of the heart, that indicates clinical death.
