Ilchi Lee Meditation Techniques

Researchers at Sydney University and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have conducted a study which shows that brain waves are positively altered during meditation in those who have practiced for a long time.

Ilchi Lee is a longtime practitioner of Dahn yoga and forms of meditation which he believes help people tap into the true potential of their brains. Results of this study may support his theories.

For the study, a team of scientists measured brain activity in individuals while they meditated and found that theta waves, which are indicative of deep sleep and relaxation, increase in the middle and frontal parts of participants' brains.

In posterior parts of the brain, the researchers found that alpha waves were present. These waves are associated with wakeful rest.

Authors of the study noted that the kind of relaxation observed during meditation differs from that which occurs during sleep. This means that meditative practices may not only improve relaxation, but also focus and awareness. These aspects are key to spiritual growth, according to Ilchi Lee.

The International Brain Education Association will release its spring issue of Brain World on March 15 and will feature the many ways in which Ilchi Lee believes that individuals can attain spiritual growth through yoga and meditation.

The issue will be dedicated to sleep and dreams and how they may be influenced through brain education techniques. Also, the magazine will contain news, research and interviews discussing the importance of these activities for well-being.

J. Allan Hobson, a renowned dream researcher and professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at Harvard University Medical School, will give an interview regarding his latest research, as will Nobel Laureate Dr. Daniel Kahneman, an intuition and decision-making expert. Additionally, George Kell, Executive Director of the United Nations Global Compact office, will talk about progress currently being made at the UN regarding brain education.

For fitness enthusiasts, articles regarding how types of yoga – like Dahn yoga, which was founded by Ilchi Lee – may help individuals reach their full brain potential.

Brain World has been published since 2009, providing people seeking enlightenment with the tools and resources for spiritual growth as recommended by Ilchi Lee.

Dr. Roger Walsh recently had a paper published by the American Psychological Association that explains his theories that rely on therapeutic lifestyle changes – or TLC – to attain a healthy mind. 

When individuals achieve proper diet and exercise, healthy relationships, adequate relaxation, stress management skills, spiritual growth, a connection with nature and the desire to treat others well, Walsh believes they may be able to prevent mental disorders like depression and anxiety.

"Lifestyle changes can offer significant therapeutic advantages for patients, therapists and societies, yet are insufficiently appreciated, taught or utilized," Walsh said.

Walsh's philosophies support those of Ilchi Lee, who believes that spiritual growth involves refining the connection between the mind, body and spirit.

Physical exercise has been shown to improve cognitive function in children, and may also improve memory in adults as they age. Practicing Dahn Yoga, which integrates the body and the mind, may help individuals achieve an improved physical and mental state.

Walsh also recommends meditation as a way to increase empathy, sensitivity and emotional stability. Ilchi Lee believes that spiritual growth may be accomplished with meditative practices, such as his brain wave vibration techniques.

Researchers from the University of California, Davis have conducted a study that suggests meditation may help people perform better on tasks that require patience and attention to detail.

The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, revealed that subjects performed better on computerized tests that asked them to distinguish between longer and slightly shorter lines when participating in a three-month meditation retreat. The further along in the retreat, the higher participants scored.

Moreover, subjects showed sustained improvement in perception and focus for five months after the retreat, especially those who continued their meditation practices.

Authors of the study noted that individuals who dismiss practices like meditation as being too simple to be effective should consider how much energy it takes to observe something without getting distracted.

Next, the team of researchers hopes to study the same participants to see how meditation can affect other mental abilities, such as emotion control and general well-being.

Results of the study suggest that regular meditation can help people achieve a sharper, more focused mind. Ilchi Lee, founder of Dahn Yoga, believes in the power of meditation to promote spiritual growth.

The essential difference between the psychiatric approach to a spiritual problem and the shamanic approach to a problem is that the former tries to solve the problem through rational understanding, while the latter accepts the ineffable nature of human existence. Modern psychology has developed many useful ways of dissecting and dinning a problem. Shamanic traditions, on the other hand, accept that a vast, incomprehensible universe exists within each person, and that total understanding is an impossible goal. That is why, as Keeney describes it, primitive cultures move the person into the mystery of life, rather than avoid it through rational understanding of things.

I am told that the word heal in English is derived from a word meaning “to make whole.” I believe that Brain Wave Vibration offers this sort of wholeness to practitioners. It is fine to seek a rational understanding of the problems that trouble you, but ultimately you will need to go beyond the rational to really get in touch with the vastness of your being. Within that vastness, you will find the eternal wisdom and healing that has always been yours from the beginning of time.

As it turns out, the membrane that surrounds the cell may be more important than genes in determining your state of health. The cell membrane senses and responds to the surrounding environment. In other words, it is the brain of the cell, receiving and interpreting messages from the body. But who talks to your cells on behalf of your body, telling them how to act? It is the same element that talks to your organs—telling your heart to beat and your lungs to breathe. It is your brain.

Energy is the language spoken by your body. You probably already know that your brain sends bioelectric signals to your organs and muscles through the nerve pathways in your body. But did you ever consider how your brain talks to your cells?

Not long ago, biologists believed that the cell membrane was relatively inconsequential, that it simply functioned as a containment system to absorb chemical substances as needed. More recently, however, biologists have looked more carefully at how the cell membrane responds to its surrounding environment. Bruce Lipton, a biologist studying how the cell membrane works, claims that the cell interprets its environment not solely based on chemical information but also based on energetic information.

The Creator is not here so that we may shift our responsibility over. We have to take responsibility as individuals, as a society, and as a world.

We can no longer be satisfied with praying alone. The Creator gives us a message but will not take the leading role in changing this world. No lightning bolts will fly out of the blue and strike down all the mass murderers in the world as examples of punishment to all evildoers. No wars will stop because an image of Jesus, made up of clouds, will look down upon a battlefield. It is up to us humans. We can make ourselves miserable or happy. We can destroy or save this Earth. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the Creator will save this world at the last moment. In words of Ilchi Lee the Creator did not make this world sick and will not make this world better. The Creator just makes sure that our hearts keep beating and the Earth keeps spinning. The Creators created us to do the rest. We are the Creator, creating as us.

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.

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.

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.

Ilchi lee Prof 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.

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.

I use the words “earth human” 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.

Since the earth existed before nations, religions, or elasticities, our self-identification with the earth takes primacy over our self-identification with any other artificial classification. When we acknowledge the earth as the center of our values, then we can recognize ourselves as earth humans, first and foremost. The fact that we are earth humans is so obvious that it takes a while to realize. Before we are Americans, Koreans, or Japanese, we are earth humans. Before we are Muslim. Buddhist, Jewish, or Christian, we are earth humans. Earth human is, in fact, our truest identification.

If we redefine ourselves as earth humans, the chains of names, religions, ethnicities, and nationalities and their associated preconceptions will not limit us. When our highest common identification is as earth humans, then we will be fueled with courage to throw off the yokes of small-mindedness in any form. The future of our species itself is at stake.

We are all familiar with the state of peace. Peace is the natural state of mind of an earth human. Peace is not an abstract concept, a negotiated settlement, or a state of passivity. It is a state of human beingness. While peace partly depends on external circumstances, in our core we know that fundamentally peace begins in the individual. All HT skills are intended to develop, as a goal or side effect, our capacity to actualize peace. Peace must be felt as a bodily experience that we can consciously share with our fellow humans.

When peace has thoroughly permeated our brain, mind, and body, we can create it as our reality. I firmly believe that every person is a peacemaker, once they have developed their self-awareness and creativity. Peace must not be left to government leaders or gurus. It must spring from the brains, hands, and minds of the people.

The below post is written from research on Ilchi Lee about Ki.

When someone asks, “Who are you?” we most often tell them our name. When someone points to an object and asks, “What is that?” we tell the person the name of the object. However, the name of the object is not the object itself. How far or deeply or truthfully can your name represent who you really are?

Since a name by itself is a poor substitute for a person, we use other names or titles to specify our existence in this society. I am so-and-so, the wife of so-and-so … I am a student at a such-and-such college majoring in such-and-such subject … I graduated from such-and-such school and am working for such-and-such corporation …. This goes on. However long a list you put next to your name, you will never be able to adequately express who you are. No matter how long a name may be. it is just a trademark or a label on you, but not you yourself.

A person’s name, of course, is not the only kind of name in our language. Our linguistic system is composed of names. Nouns are names by definition; verbs are names of actions; and adjectives or adverbs are names of a shape or situation. Our awareness was trained and matured in this realm of names. Therefore, when we see an object, we automatically recall the name of the object, first and foremost.
