Ilchi Lee is the creator of Dahnhak and brain respiration, a comprehensive system of physical and mental exercises that seeks to use the energy. He says just imagine how nice it would be to rid of bad, negative, and useless information that is cluttering up your brain. Of course, human brains do naturally forget information through diseases and old age, but information that is accompanied by emotional turmoil or shock does not go away as easily. A person who had been embarrassed singing a song as a child will still recall it with fresh vividness when he is an adult, making him reluctant to sing, even though he might be a good singer. Negative information is just like a computer virus, destroying and wreaking havoc once inside.

Up to now, we have generally been ruled by our information. A fortuitous meeting with a good piece of information may change our lives for the better, while a bad piece of information can lead us down a path of selt-destruction. On the strength of one piece of information, we may laugh with joy or cry with grief. It is time to control the flow of information, not be controlled by it. This is only possible when we believe in the power of our own brain and utilize it. Everyone has a brain, but few know how to fully use it. The brain is a funny machine in that it runs smoother and does more things the more you use it.
