It is not too great a leap to suppose that brain-body communication could be improved throughout your body, says Ilchi Lee, if vibrations were applied to the entire body, as in Brain Wave Vibration. It seems that we are returning to an understanding that our ancestors understood instinctively.

Ilchi Lee continues “I first experienced the power of vibration through my own physical healing. A few years ago, I took a bad fall from a horse and seriously injured my spine. The doctors told me not to move, to just quietly rest in bed. This did not sit well with me because I knew that the energy could not move properly in my body if I were to just lie there completely motionless.” Ilchi Lee also says “So I decided to make subtle shaking movements with my spine and eventually with the rest of my body. This kept my energy moving, and my recovery was far faster than anyone had expected.

You can learn Brain Wave Vibration created by Ilchi Lee at a local Dahn Yoga Center or you can contact the International Brain Education Association (IBREA).

Bradford Keeny has traveled the world seeking understanding of primitive healing customs. His conclusion, like Ilchi Lee’s, is that healing can be found through vibration, what he refers to as “shaking medicine.”

From Brain Wave Vibration by Ilchi Lee

Michael Winkelman, a neuroscientist at Arizona State University who investigates shamanistic practices, concludes that these healing practices work by integrating older (the brain stem) and younger (the prefrontal cortex) parts of the brain. He says, “Shamanistic healing practices achieve this integration by physically stimulating systematic brain wave - discharge patterns.” He goes on to say that this integration allows “unconscious or preconscious primary information processing functions and outputs to be integrated into the operations of the frontal cortex.” In other words, according to Ilchi Lee’s new book, the rational, conscious part of the brain is able to harmonize with the brain stem, the part of the brain dictating the subconscious operations of the body.

More recently, vibration has become popular as a means to develop bone density in older people. Ilchi Lee says in the book, that by simply standing on an oscillating platform, subjects who were otherwise limited in mobility were able to achieve effects similar to those achieved through vigorous physical exercise.

In another study at Boston University, says Ilchi Lee in the new book, older men were given vibrating insoles for their shoes, Researchers found that the men’s balance improved and accidental falls dropped to well below the normal rate. The researchers theorize that the vibrations improved the transmission of nervous system signals from the feet to the brain.

There was an historic event on June 20, 2008: the International Brain Educatin Conference. Over 400 educators and parents from the United States participated in the conference, as well as educators and members of foreign IBREA chapters from South Korea, Japan, England, Germany, Israel, and Canada.

The Conference was hosted by the Korea Institute of Brain Science (KIBS, president: Ilchi Lee) and the International Brain Education Association (IBREA, chairman: Ilchi Lee) at the UN complex in New York City.

As a NGO event, it was the biggest one, and it gave lots of hope to NGO people.

I greatly enjoy browsing http://www.ilchi.com/ to find tip and trends about the brain. I am getting to know about,  of course, my brain. Using meditation to bring peace inside and out even at our work place is one of the articles I have read. I am getting better at seeing myself more clearly and the role of my brain for my growth, healthier, happier, more peaceful life,  and society at large.

Dahn Yoga has become number one yoga in the world–600 centers more than 1 million practitioners in the world including in Russia and Brazil. Do you know a founder of Dahn Yoga, Ilchi Lee started teaching a stroke victim in a park for free? It is a humble beginning of Dahn Yoga about 30 years ago. His passion to empower people still goes on.
Reflecting his philosophy and Dahn Hak (Study of energy), Dahn Foundation and Dahn Yoga & Health Centers successfully conducted their 1st Annual National Food Drive in 15 regions in the US, collecting more than 5,000 lbs. of food during the holiday season, as of December 30, 2007.

Same old grow to become the best versions of ourselves

When a person, who had a spinal surgery with a rod, can bend and touch the floor in a month after taking Dahn Yoga, I call it a miracle. She is one of my center members, and she lost 10 lbs during this time without doing any special diet. She shedded those extra pounds by simply listening to her body and mind. She looks terrific and is getting brighter. What she has been doing is taking a regular Dahn Yoga class 2-3 times a week following meridian exercises, vitality breathing postures, and Brain Wave Vibration training, which Ilchi Lee has developed.
I think this kind of rapid healing process can happen to anyone through proper training. If a person has a will to change, the process can be even accelerated. My conclusion is this. Miracles do happen.

I consider that being nice is a sort of disease, which makes us wear a mask. I choose to be true to myself and others rather than being “nice”. I’ve found that Ilchi Lee has a deep insight about being ”nice vs. kind” in his website at http://www.ilchi.com/ Ask Ilchi Lee section. I’d like to share with you.
“You really don’t have to be nice to everyone. What we call “nice” is really just based on our appearances to other people. It is all about manners and the judgments people make in that regard. On the other hand, being kind is about your heart and comes from the deepest sort of love for life. When we are being nice, we do so in order to look good so that others will not think we are bad. However, when we are genuinely kind, we are not focusing on ourselves. We are focusing on how can be truly good to other people….”

We walk at home and at work every day unless you have special physical conditions. Your daily walking routine can help you increase your health far more than you can imagine. JangSaeng Walking, which means longevity walk, has been developed by Ilchi Lee during his recovery from his spinal injury due to a fall from a horse back several years ago. Tucking your tail bone in and feeling your soles and toes as you walk will help you accumulate ki-energy in your lower energy center and rejuvenate your body and lightens up your spirit. Most importantly wear a big smile as you walk. As it helps me to connect my body and mind and get more energy, you will discover joy of walking in a whole lot different way. Please visit at http://www.ilchi.com and watch Ilchi Lee’s own lecture on JangSaeng Walking.

Do you love yourself? Really? If you cannot say “Absolutely!”, you need to work & play on yourself.
I think that a lack of self love is a root of many issues we encounter in our lives. I used be very harsh on myself for the sake of self improvement, doing more harm than help. It took many years for me to accept my greatness and love myself fully. I had to refresh my old habits and preconceptions about myself. Ilchi Lee shares his insight, which touches my heart.
“If you truly love yourself, the opinions of others, both positive and negative, should bounce off of you like a rubber ball off a sidewalk. Self-love means to know emphatically who you are inside and to build a life according to that understanding. This is not a temporary love based on the successes of the moment, but an eternal love based on recognition of the divine nature that lies at the center of your being.”
