Quotations from Ilchi Lee’s new book Brain Wave Vibration

You have probably heard many awful stories about the health conditions of the past - stories of plague, faminine, and poverty. We look back on these times with a sense of relief that these hardships are a thing of the past for most people, at least those living in the developed contries of the world.

Yet, even while we have escaped many of these horrors, we seem to have invented our own kind of epidemic, and it is brought about entirely through our own choices. Ilchi Lee says in his new book Brain Wave Vibration, that it is the scourge called stress.

Stress has been linked to almost every illness of modern society. The list of associated diseases is staggering: heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, asthma, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia… the list goes on and on. And on top of that, there are a host of negative habits associated with the stress response - activities people do to find artificial relief, habits that throw the body into further imbalance, including overeating, smoking, and excessive consumption of alcohol.

Why, if we have been able to conquer polio, smallpox, and other deadly contagion, have we not been able to conquer this thing called stress? The answer lies in how we relate to the world from the inside out, not in how the outside world relates to us. When a doctor controls a bacterial infection with an antibiotic, he or she is attacking an invader that came from outside the body. But in the case of stress, Ilchi Lee founder of Dahn Yoga says, the effects are largely self-inflicted.

Directly translated, Dahn-jon means “Field of Energy.” This refers to a place in the body where energy is gathered and stored. With enough energy sensitivity training, you can tangibly teal the gathering of energy in the Dahn-jon.

We have three internal Dahn-jons and four external Dahn-jons for a total of seven. Dahn-jon has basically the same meaning as the word Charka, a Sanskrit term. The internal Dahn-jons are located in the lower abdomen about two inches from your navel (lower Dahn-jon), in the middle of your chest (middle Dahn-jon), and at the In-dang point (upper Dahn-jon). The four exter­nal Dahn-jon s are located, one on each palm and on the bottom of each foot.

If even one Dahn-jon is blocked and the energy flow is impeded, it will manifest as a physical disease or ailment. Through breath work, it is possible to facilitate the flow of energy through the Dahn-jon system, resulting in overall balance and health. (Excepts from Ilchi Lee’s book)

In Dahn Yoga Brain Wave Vibration can function as a kind of energetic and creative battery charger for your body and brain. Whenever you find yourself in that energetic valley, or when you feel blocked creativity, use the method to bring new life to your day. By doing so, you are shaking loose the tension that has built up in your body, and you are opening your body to new energy. Furthermore, as you quiet your thinking mind, you give the creative right brain a chance to chime in, allowing new opportunities for innovative ideas and solutions. — Except from Ilchi Lee’s new book Brain Wave Vibration

According to Asian traditional medical models, we all have meridians that run through the body and carry life energy, known as ki. According to this model, any pain or disease that occurs in the body is the result of blockage to that energy flow. Acupuncture, a method whose efficacy has been well-established in several studies, seeks to improve the flow of energy, fine-tuning it for optimal health. Many mind-body practices, like tai chi and yoga, also help open up these pathways. Likewise, Brain Wave Vibration created by Ilchi Lee allows you to shake loose the blockages in your body for better energy flow.

There are three types of Ki energy in the human body. Won-Ki is the energy that you have inherited, or were born with .Jnitg-Ki is the energy that you obtain by eating and breathing. And Jin-Ki is the energy generated through deep, concentrated breathing. Won-Ki and Jung-Ki energy are generated without conscious participation, while Jin-Ki requires concentration. The energy that is utilized in Brain Respiration is this Jin-Ki.

Since Jin-Ki is generated by the mind (concentration), its state (quality) varies according to the state of the mind at a given time. A positive frame of mind and emotional state produces a positive flow of energy. This will, in turn, have a calming effect on the brain, lowering the brain waves. A negative state of mind and emotions will have the opposite effect. When the flow of Jin-Ki is blocked or impeded, the brain becomes tense, resulting in anx­iety.

However, Ilchi Lee says they do know that one measurable form of energy does 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 are sent down through the nervous system via nerve fibers, which signal a myriad of biological processes, from muscle movement to organ functions.

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

Natural health proponents agree, says Ilchi Lee in the US that we are spending far too much time in the higher frequency beta and gamma waves, and too little time in the lower frequency waves. The higher frequency waves are associated with stress states, which in turn are associated with many mental and physical disorders.

Finally, always remember to “surprise your brain.” Easy, familiar tasks do not offer the best stimulation for your brain or that of your child. Tasks that are awkward at first are in fact the ones that create more new connections in your brain. So always be persistent in the mastery of these activities, and deliberately seek out new challenges for your brain. What would you really like to do with your brain that you have never done before? Find out those things and be confident that your brain can master them, even if it does not come easily to you. Develop the habits of a brain-centered lifestyle for your family, always looking for new experiences and new challenges for your brain and that of your child. This is the simple and fun way to build brains to last a lifetime — by Ilchi Lee.

Welcome to your Power Brain Journey. As you and your child work through these lessons together, you will have many opportunities to smile and laugh together. Some activities will be very familiar to you, while others may seem unusual. Some exercises will be easy to accomplish, and others may elicit great frustration. Regardless of whatever tasks are at hand, please face them with an open and positive mind. And, of course, always have fun.

Also, don’t let your child’s Power Brain experience end simply because you’ve completed the day’s lessonand have closed the book. Rather, let these lessons be integrated into your child’s daily routine. Stuck at a stoplight? Why not practice the Itsy Bitsy Brainy exercise with your child? Has your family’s favorite TV show gone to commercials? How about doing the Pill Bug or some other Brian-Body Activation exercises together? The way you choose to integrate these lessons into your child’s life is limited only by your imagination and creativity.

The full-scale globalization of Brain Education, which was created by Ilchi Lee, was proclaimed at UN Headquarters on June 20.

With world-class brain scientists and educators participating, the UN Brain Education Conference was a serious affair from beginning to end, and was filled with fascinating lectures. The speakers showed great interest in the infinite possibilities and future value of Brain Education.

And after the conference, there was the International BRain Education Association (IBREA)’s inaugural ceremony, which announced the establishment of Brain Education branch offices in 100 countries.
