The Language of Life By Ilchi Lee Day

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.

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 clement exists and have given it many names. The Pacific Islanders call it mana; Australian Aborigines call it joja; Indian Hindus call it prana. Native Americans have mam’ 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.
