The following is teaching about ‘Dahn Mu’:

When you are anxious and worried, if you feel Ki (Chi) energy as you listen to good music and move your body to the rhythm, your brain waves will again stabilize and you will become very happy. This is ‘Dahn Mu’, which is Energy dance.

DahnMu is a natural pheonomenon created in the brain. When you engage in DahnMu, you should dance until your self-awareness vanishes completely. Doing this will lead you into an encounter with yourself. You can find your true self through DahnMu. You can express the love and peace within you through DahnMu.

Ultimately if we live a life like DahnMu, that can be the status of true happiness. One day, Ilchi lee says that. For that, we need practice based on Brain Education. One of the best way in it is ‘Brain Wave Vibration’ method. Everything has a certain energy. Even a word has it. When we say a good word like encouraging, it creates good energy. Try to say repeatedly in comfortable mood, “Brain wave vibration”, “Brain wave vibration”,…, then you can feel a positive energy specially around your brain. It may sound weird but as you develop your sense, it works. That can be a good start.

Contrary to general belief, Health is not limited to the physical body.

Our bodies are composed of physical, energy and spiritual bodies.

We will become masters of a truly happy and peaceful life only when our physical, energy and spiritual bodies come together in healthy harmony.

To help us create and maintain harmony among the three bodies, we have seven gems of energy.

I began Dahn Yoga in February 2006. My major health condition like many other middle aged men was frequent urination too many times to count. This condition was most active at night. Getting up 8 10 times per night was keeping me very stressed.

After two months of Dahn Yoga practice I noticed I was not getting up as many times. Now I get a full nights sleep. As a result I am more patient, more focused and much less irritable.

For confidentiality and personal embarrassment reasons I do not want to divulge my complete name. Many men like myself would be happy to know there is some relief out there besides medications.

I think that’s what makes master Lee’s program a standout from others. A happy person can make others around him/her happy, and in turn they can make others around them happy as well.

The following short story is one that always reminds me of Ilchi Lee and what he has been trying to do all of these years: affect the world, one person at a time.

A man was walking along the beach one day. In the far distance, he saw a figure and could hear a strange sound. Being naturally curious, he approached the figure to find a young boy. This boy was picking something up and throwing it back into the ocean. “What are you doing?” the man asked.

The young boy was picking up starfish and tossing them out as far as he could. “They all washed up. I’m throwing them back in.” The man laughed. He had seen so many starfish on the shore. The young boy had an impossible task ahead of him. “Just give up. You can’t save all of them. Why bother? They’re only starfish.”

The boy looked at the man.

As he looked at the man, he lifted up another starfish, turned, and threw it back into the

Have you ever just sat in the rays of the sun letting your head and brain soak up the light and the heat?

Ilchi Lee says that the brain should be full of light. When I do some meditations, I try to feel the sun in my brain, lighting it up and throwing all of the darkness out. After doing this, I feel lighter and better. As I go through my day, if I bring the sun into my brain, I can feel more freshed and focused. All of the negative thoughts that I had vanish. It sounds like hokey magic, I know, but it’s amazing what some simple visualizations can do for my mood

What would be the most important thing in education? What is most important in our brain might not be an academic grade. It is to educate how to live our lives truly meaningfully as a human being.

So far, human history is that of selfish desire. The future of humanity has become obscure and not promising because selfish desire has lead our history. We need a new culture. A new culture based on love and harmony.

Don’t stop self-improvement. We need people who create health, happiness and peace themselves to create the new culture for humanity. We should be pioneers in renovation of education. Let’s do Brain Wave Vibration training and read In Full Bloom written by Ilchi Lee and Dr. Jessie Jones.

Thank you.

From Ilchi Lee and Jessie Jones’s new book “In Full Bloom”

The second step of BEST, Brain Versatilizing, is a process designed to help you develop a flexible and vibrant brain faster and more effectively than crossword puzzles and cross-stitching.

Brain Versatilizing is about challenging your brain to master new tasks and to become more adaptable and flexible. Through this practice, you will find yourself freed from ridgid habits and modes of thinking and you will become more open to new information. Your brain will become a fluid instrument responsive to your commands. One of the greatest benefits of this is that you can break destructive habits such as smoking, losing your temper, or eating unhealthy foods. Habits are difficult to break because they become hard-wired into the brain in those deeply furrowed pathways and bypass them with new ones. At advanced levels, you can actually change deeply ingrained biases and prejudices to develop a more open mind. What a gift! you will find that your cognitive experience is expanded and that learning new tasks becomes almost automatic. Your awareness will become wider as you activate areas of your brain that have been largely quiescent for years. We call this expanding the window of consciousness.

Lately, I have been realizing the good in everything. But I found that when it comes to me, it is harder to see this good and recognize it within myself. I am learning how to praise myself for what I do well. I am stating what I do well, and I am congratulating myself for it. When I do this, my brain responds positively and it helps to recreate more positive experiences for me to acknowledge.

Ilchi Lee always says that good news makes a good brain. After practiving this, I agree.

Because of the brain education system created by Ilchi Lee, many are able to see more qualities and traits about themselves. Just this past week, I was able to notice that even though I am joking and teasing, my jokes have a negative edge to them. I have been trying to be more positive these past few months, and I’ve seen a big improvement. But this past week, I was able to see so much more of how I handle situations. I still have a ways to go with my positivity, but now I can clearly see how I am presenting myself.

I noticed after I practiced some exercises from the Dahn Yoga Basics book that I had more confidence within myself as I handled the activities in my day to day life. When I speak with others, my voice is more even and not as high pitched or nervous. I feel more comfortable within my own skin. Instead of shifting nervously, I assume an inconspicuous ki gong posture and just feel energy. Then, I feel much better and can relax more with others. Ilchi Lee’s dahn Yoga training system has worked wonders for me.

Ilchi Lee on Thanksgiving

This is the time of year when we naturally take stock of all the many blessings in our lives. This is a wonderful thing because genuine gratitude is a source of genuine peace.
I urge you to carry this spirit of Thanksgiving into every aspect of your life. It is always easy to be grateful for things that come without much effort, but you should be even more grateful for the difficult things in your life. Every hardship is a blessed opportunity for growth, a chance to discover who you really are inside. Of course, you should also cherish the simpler, more enjoyable things of life as they come to you. But, as you face larger hurdles, remember that great challenges only come to great souls, so be grateful for all these things, as well.
As you join with your family and friends to celebrate the bounty of your life, I want you to know that I and the entire staff of Ilchi.com also feel profound gratitude for your participation in our online community. You are indeed a blessing, for it is from you that the seeds of peace and happiness will grow in the upcoming year.
Thank you and have a joyful Thanksgiving.

Ilchi Lee

I just would like to share Ilchi Lee’s message on Thanksgiving Day with all of you!  :-)  Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day, with a grateful mind!

Ilchi Lee always talks about stimulating the brain. Today in my dahn yoga class, my brain was really stimulated! We did all Halloween themed exercises. It was so funny and creative. My brain felt as if it was tingling as we did everything. The postures, even though they had funny names, were actually challenging. I was definitely stimulated as we did this special themed class.

While practicing Dahn Mu Do, a martial art form created by Ilchi Lee, I discovered how peaceful moving slowly can be.

As I went through some of the postures, I could feel this deep sense of serenity within me and it only grew more as I continued. Even though my body shook, I could feel relaxed in even the most difficult postures. After I finished, I could feel such great circulation in my body and my heart felt more open. I plan on practicing this more often.
