			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These lines about <a href="http://dahnyogavoice.com/q-a/">Dahn Yoga</a> by Bum Yons Kim, Korea published in Lee book.</p>
<p>I could not make the right notes of music with my voice. For example, &#8220;re&#8221; came out of my mouth when I attempted to make &#8220;do.&#8221; I was reaching a point where I simply could not continue to sing. About one year after starting Brain Wave Vibration, I was finally able to make the right notes. It was like I turned around at the end of my career as a singer. I am so happy that I can sing again.</p>
<p>Most people who attend <strong>Dahn Yoga classes</strong> soon report that they feel more flexible, energized, peaceful, focused, creative, motivated, confident, and emotionally balanced. They experience less or no stress, pain, and insomnia, and reduce or eliminate their medication.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_342" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-342" title="Living Now Book Awards--Brain Wave Vibration by Ilchi Lee" src="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/lnmedbooks3-300x244.jpg" alt="Living Now Book Awards--Brain Wave Vibration by Ilchi Lee" width="300" height="244" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Living Now Book Awards--Brain Wave Vibration by Ilchi Lee</p></div>
<p>Two of Ilchi Lee&#8217;s books won Living Now Awards on Earth Day, April 22, 2009. <strong><em><a title="Brain Wave Vibration Website Book Page" href="http://www.brainwavevibration.com/books/book_BWV.aspx">Brain Wave Vibration: Getting Back into the Rhythm of a Happy, Healthy Life</a></em></strong> [BEST Life Media, June 2008] won first place in the Meditation and Relaxation Category and <strong><em><a title="Ilchi Lee Books &amp; DVDs" href="http://www.ilchi.com/Books_and_DVDs/">In Full Bloom: A Brain Education Guide for Successful Aging</a></em></strong> [BEST Life Media, 2007], co-authored with Jessie Jones, PhD, won second place in the Mature Living and Anti-Aging Category.</p>
<p>The <a title="Living Now Awards Winners" href="http://www.independentpublisher.com/article.php?page=1290&amp;urltitle=Announcing%20the%20Results%20of%20the%20First%20Annual%20Living%20Now%20Book%20Awards">Living Now Book Awards</a> recognize books that help readers help themselves, and learn about enriching their lives in wholesome, Earth-friendly ways. These two winners, which describe Ilchi Lee’s brain and earth-centered philosophy for personal and global development, fit perfectly into the Living Now Book Awards’ recognition that society is “realizing the need to slow down, see and feel the natural world around them, and to find balance in their lives. […] We need to keep ourselves healthy, and need to keep the Earth healthy – today, and for future generations.”</p>
<p><em>Brain Wave Vibration</em> fills this need by describing an easy and powerful natural method of bringing body and mind into balance for total health, happiness, and peace. The simplest form of practice merely requires moving your body to your own internal, healing rhythms in order to slow down and integrate your brain waves. Brain Wave Vibration is more than just a physical training technique, however. Through it you can come back to who you really are and create miracles in your life.</p>
<p>Like <em>Brain Wave Vibration</em>, <em>In Full Bloom</em> also teaches readers simple, natural methods that are a part of Ilchi Lee’s Brain Education System Training. However, this book focuses on how they can apply the training to live healthy, creative, and productive lives at every age. Co-authored with Jessie Jones, PhD, it celebrates the older brain and its unique capabilities, while offering practical advice to maintain and accentuate its attributes. In addition to examining the important interconnection between body and brain, In Full Bloom provides a fully-illustrated series of body and brain exercises.</p>
<p>Both of these books have distinguished themselves among other titles by independent publishers as books of quality that can help people live more natural, healthy lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Information by: <strong>Ilchi lee</strong><br />
The values and beliefs we hold today are a reflection of our times. We should not make the mistake of thinking of them as eternal truths. Compared to the history of humankind, much less the age of the earth, these beliefs are less than a blink of the eye.</p>
<p>Earth is the most enduring thing that humans experience. No faith or beliefs of any kind are older than the earth. Placing the earth at the center of our value system is an obvious choice.</p>
<p>If we recalibrate our ethical and moral universe relative to the earth, then our stubborn beliefs about nations, states, and religions no longer seem so important. We realize that temporary, relative values have motivated pointless, small-minded warring throughout the millennia.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/lower-back-pain/">Ilchi lee Prof</a> says only when we place the earth at the center of our value system and respect one another as fellow earth humans will we have found the basic foundation of peace.</p>
<p>Words can hardly do justice to the brother and sisterhood of humanity that I feel and wish to realize. Sometimes we have to invent a new term. In order to realize my soul plan I have created what I call the Earth Human Movement.</p>
<p>I use the words &#8220;earth human&#8221; to describe the state of consciousness that we will attain once we have experienced awakened awareness and have decided to take enlightened action. To become earth humans means that we realize and practice the oneness that connects us all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">If you live entirely within a limited field of information, you do not have the vision and ability even to realize that you live within this limitation. If you are unknowingly trapped inside an elevator that is falling at great speed, you will not realize your own entrapment until you can look out a window and realize that the walls are zooming by. Someone who is limited by societal conventions can only act in ways that reflect his or her limitations, no matter how hard he might try to break free of the limitations.</p>
<p>The ideology of freedom itself is just a piece of information &#8220;<a href="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/truly-live-in-the-deepest-meaning-of-the-word/">Ilchi Lee</a>&#8220;. Do you think that people were not &#8220;free&#8221; before the ideologies of freedom, fairness, equality, and religion came into being? Before religion, didn&#8217;t people have a notion of salvation, or enlightenment, or sin? The words &#8220;freedom&#8221; and &#8220;salvation&#8221; did not herald the actual ideas of freedom or salvation; these existed long before. In fact, the invention of words or terms to denote an idea or a state of being could push us farther away from experiencing the qualities they evoke.</p>
<p>I said earlier that enlightenment is a choice to break the illusion of grandeur that surrounds the concept. If pieces of information such as enlightenment, salvation, and freedom, all recognized for their positive contribution to human history, can be used to obfuscate the actual ideas behind them, how much more damage can negative information, such as the things that elicit guilt and fear, do to us?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">See how multifaceted you are? From chemical compounds to creator? Which part of this grand process would you single out to define your life? Since everything is a process of life, which part would you choose to call &#8220;living?&#8221; Furthermore, on which part of this process would you place the worth of life? In other words, would you regard one aspect of the life process as more worthy of being called &#8220;life&#8221; than another?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/see-the-earth-in-a-state-of-absolute-freedom/">Prof Ilchi Lee</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No matter what our choices are, and regardless of our understanding of it, life will continue to exist. However, depending on how narrowly we set the limits of a definition, life can be many things to many people. Life can mean that the heart beats and blood flows. Life can mean that the brain is functioning and you are processing information. So, depending how we choose to define life, our definitions and attitude toward death are also consequently varied.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take the example of injury. What does it mean? Does it mean bruises and black-and-blue marks? Does it mean a cut in the skin? How about injuries to the energy and spiritual bodies? If your spiritual body is healthy, then your energy body is healthy, leading to the self-healing of a physical injury. But what if your spiritual body is damaged? The damage to the spiritual/information body does not only mean that your genetic information is damaged. The genetic information is only a minuscule part of the information that makes up who you are. The worst damage that the spiritual/information body can sustain is planting wrong ideas of identity and twisted standards of value in it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">When we awaken to the living energy within ourselves and achieve harmony of body and mind, our efforts to put these principles into practice and live in harmony with the world are supported. Only then is the true consummation of Dahnhak Ki-gong finally achieved.</p>
<p>There are generally two types of Ki-gong. The practice of controlling breathing and concentrating the mind while performing movements is called Dong-gong, and the method of adopting a specific posture while controlling breathing and concentrating the mind without moving is called Jung-gong. All forms of Dahnhak Ki-gong introduced here are of the Dong-gong type, but they can also be used to practice Jung-gong by stopping and holding a posture for a period of time.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/peace-and-mythical-forces-of-evil">Prof Ilchi Lee</a> founder of Dahn Yoga said practice is divided into Dong-gong and Jung-gong according to whether we move the body during training, but strictly speaking, this is only an external classification. Even in a state of Jung-gong, energy constantly enters and leaves our bodies as we repeatedly inhale and exhale. We quietly entrust our bodies to the flow of energy even as we move them vigorously in Dahn-gong. In either case, the result is a state of calm stillness. What is important when we practice Ki gong is that, even in motion, we must be able to feel stillness, and that, even in stillness, we watch our ceaseless breathing and changing energy to achieve harmony with it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Chinese Qigong developed through focusing on techniques: into health Qigong for health, longevity, and immortality, and martial Qigong for self-defense and controlling an opponent. Stressing the technical aspects of these arts has led Chinese Qigong to achieve brilliant growth in the field of medical Qigong, but the philosophy contained in these systems has faded by comparison. The difference between Chinese Qigong and Dahnhak Ki-gong, in short, is the difference between Taoist techniques and the Way.</p>
<p>Chun-bu-kyung</p>
<p>The Chun-bu-kyung is the oldest of Korean scriptures, transmitted by word-of-mouth since the time of Emperor Hanin. Along with Cham-jun-gye-g/ungand Sam-il-shin-go, it is one of the three great scriptures of the Korean oeople. Comprising 81 Chinese characters, Chun-bu-kyung uses numbers to express the birth and death of the universe and the principle of evolutionary creation. It contains the cosmic principle that creation and evo-ution take place in a time with no beginning and no end, from the birth of humanity to its death, and that, in the end, by achieving the Defection o* humanity, we complete o u&#8221; ^ &lt; s s c r a s   v&#8217; ^ o ce ncs zz&#8221;&#8221; c&#8221; ~~ s earth.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/ilchi-lee-on-confident-voice">Dahnhak Ki-gong</a> has developed into a modern, scientific system the philosophy and difficult training methods of Shin-seon-do, the lineage of which had been broken in the past. The fundamental goal of Dahnhak Ki-gong goes beyond training body and mind to awaken us to the true purpose and truths of our lives as human beings and to manifest this purpose in the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">According to the Han-dahn Ko-gi and <a href="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/improve-your-brain-functions">Ilchi Lee</a>, records indicate that ancient ascetics developed their bodies and minds through the practice of three methods: Ji-gam, Jo-sik, and Geum-chok. Ji-gam trains the mind to calm the thoughts and emotions and Jo-sik trains the breath to regulate energy through breathing. Geum-chok is a practice for entering a deep spiritual world beyond the five senses.</p>
<p>The practice of Ji-gam, Jo-sik, and Geum-chok, related in the Sam-il-shin-go, one of the three great scriptures of the Korean people, in particular form the basis of Shin-seon-do practice. This Shin-seon-do practice spread to the various peoples of Asia, including China, and developed into a variety of Ki-gong methods. Its lineage was broken with the collapse of Dangun Chosun, however, and the spirit and philosophy it contained were also diluted and faded gradually with time; until today only its technical aspects were handed down in various forms.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">These simple drawing activities provide two valuable benefits. First, they increase hand-eye coordination. Second, they create a meditative rhythm that helps you soothe and calm your brain waves. Don&#8217;t forget to switch hands to develop the no dominant side of the brain. These actives can be used for Brain Fertilizing activities as well. Begin with the infinity symbol on the next page, and then work up to more advanced figures.</p>
<p>Draw the figure on a sheet of paper. Preferably, use large paper so your whole arm can move, not just the wrist. Keep tracing the symbol for several minutes, until the movement is smooth and balanced. After the image becomes relatively easy to draw, switch directions. No\v switch hands and try the same thing with your no dominant hand. Continue until the movement is smooth and relaxed. Also, try drawing them with your eves closed.</p>
<p>Brain Wave Vibration</p>
<p>We have a highly developed neocortex. It is so dominant that it sometimes leads to suppression of the limbic system and the brainstem. The best way to tone down the activity of the neocortex and maximize the effeciencv of the brainstem is with a repetitive, <a href="http://www.ilchileeblog.net/ilchi-lee-on-confident-voice">continuous rhythm</a>, as when you fall asleep to the monotonous hum of an air conditioner.</p>
<p>Brain Wave Vibration exercise uses repetitive rhythmic vibration to tone down the activities of the neocortex, activate the limbic svstem, and allow you to connect with the life energy that resides in your brainstem. Brain Wave Vibration allows you to take initiative to ignite a vibra-tional reaction in your own body. There are not any set or predetermined patterns for self-vibration. You just let your body go along; with the natural rhythm of life. If you like, play music with a strong, rvthmical drum beat. Release any self-consciousness that interferes with giving free rein to vour movements. Do not be upset when stray thoughts and emotions enter vour mind. Just let them pass.</p>
