Headache Relief from Brain Education

Nov 16 2009 Published by under Brain Education

Sometimes it can seem to come out of nowhere like a blinding flash of pain, other times it starts with a dull ache and gradually builds until it is unbearable. A headache, whether it is common or a migraine, usually has its roots in tension caused by stress or poor posture. It begins when the energy flow of your body is reversed. The natural flow of energy in your body is cool energy flowing up to your head from your kidneys and warm energy flowing down from your heart to your lower abdomen. When warm energy flows to the head, your head can feel hot and blocked, causing a headache.

You can do a quick self-check of your energy flow by putting one hand on the back of your neck and the other on your lower abdomen (Dahn Jon). If your neck is warmer, your energy flow is reversed.
When you have a headache or other symptoms of reverse energy flow, you can do some of these Brain Education exercises to bring the hot energy down from your head and feel better.

Two acupressure points you can press at the start of a headache are the Gallbladder 20 (PoongJi) points at the base of your skull in the back of your head. Press up into your skull strongly with your thumbs at these points. Repeat until you feel your pain lessen or disappear entirely.

Toe Tapping
Toe tapping restores the natural flow of energy in the body and helps you sleep more deeply and restfully.

  1. Lie down on your back with your heels together and ankles flexed.
  2. Tap your big toes together, then open your feet so that your little toes tap the floor. Repeat as rapidly as you can.
  3. Begin with 100 repetitions and increase the number as you practice.

Pressing Temple (Tae-Yang) Acupressure Points

  1. Using your thumbs, press your temples five times slowly.
  2. Then using the pad of your hands, tap your temples thirty times.

Holding strong postures designed to draw energy down from your head, such as Sleeping Tiger, are also effective for relieving headaches. Sleeping Tiger is a lying posture done on your back with your arms straight up into the air, elbows bent slightly and wrists bent at right angles so that the palms face the ceiling. The legs are also raised with the hip, knee, and ankle joints at 90-degree angles. Stay relaxed and focused on the lower abdomen. Exhale through the mouth while you hold the posture. Start with holding it for five minutes if you can, and then increase the amount of time as the posture becomes easier.

While holding the posture, you may experience various sensations such as muscle fatigue, joint pain, heat, cold, burning, shaking, and vibrating. You may also experience emotional responses such as anxiety, fear, calm, and peace. These sensations often change. Within reason, it’s best to hold the posture for as long as possible. Ilchi Lee advises, “Try to enjoy these physical responses, as they are actually positive signs that the body is releasing toxic energy and becoming healthy and strong.” The emotional responses are also signs that blockages unhealthy energy is clearing.

To help prevent headaches from beginning in the first place, strengthen the energy center in your lower abdomen (Dahn Jon) with ongoing practice. Intestine Exercise, Dahn Jon Tapping, Sit-ups, and Jung Choong Breathing are very effective for creating and maintaining a strong center and a healthy energy state. Whenever you do these exercises, keep your mind focused on your dahn-jon, which is two inches below your navel and two inches inside your abdomen.

Intestine Exercise
Benefits: This exercise will increase the flexibility of the intestines and facilitate efficient circulation of both energy and blood. If you also tighten your rectal muscles during this exercise, you will be able to gather energy and feel warmth much more quickly.
Note: You should not overdo this exercise in the beginning since it may result in some discomfort.

  1. This exercise can be performed standing up or lying down. When standing up, keep your knees slightly bent and toes turned slightly inward. When lying down, lie on your back with your legs shoulder-width apart.
  2. Form a triangle by touching your thumbs and forefingers together and place them lightly on the lower abdomen.
  3. When pulling in, pull as if the front wall of your abdomen is trying to touch your back. Tighten your rectal muscles at the same time.
  4. Then, push your lower abdomen out slightly, making it more round. You will feel outward pressure in your lower abdomen.
  5. Repeat the movement. Start with one set of 50 and work your way up to a set of 300 as you advance.

Dahn-jon Tapping
Benefits: By rhythmically patting the lower abdomen with the palms of both hands, blood and energy is distributed throughout the entire body. Abdominal exercises will assist in the prompt removal of excess gases and waste from the body, and you will feel increased warmth in the Dahn-jon, as well.

  1. Spread your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees slightly.
  2. Lengthen and relax your spine. Relax your shoulders, neck, and arms.
  3. Point your toes slightly inward and feel a slight tightening of the lower abdomen.
  4. Rhythmically strike the lower abdomen area with both palms.
  5. Begin with 100 strikes. You may increase the number and force of the strikes with more practice.

Ilchi Lee’s Tip for Negative Emotions

Sep 26 2009 Published by under Brain Education

Ilchi Lee spends most of his time devising simple yet practical ways to help people manage their lives more easily and effectively. Some of these ways he put in his book, Principles of Brain Management: A Practical Approach to Making the Most of Your Brain.

Here is one tip from the book for managing negative emotions:

“It may be difficult at first to redirect your emotions in a positive direction. You may find yourself returning to the destructive emotion, even after you have made up your mind to change. Remember, though, that it is just a habit of the brain that keeps bringing you back to that point. As with any habit, it will take time to practice and break it.

To keep yourself on the positive track, find a way to remind yourself of the constructive action that will replace the negative emotion. For example, you might want to get a small stone and write an inspiring word on it. Or wear a ring that reminds you of your promise to yourself. Every time you see it, your mind will be redirected in a more positive direction.”

Ilchi Lee’s Martial Art Form, DahnMuDo, Now on DVD!

Sep 18 2009 Published by under Brain Education

Before his enlightenment, Ilchi Lee was actually a black belt in Tae Kwon Do from a young age. As an adult, he ran a physical health training center for a little while that included martial arts. After his enlightenment, one of the training methods he developed to help people feel the universal principles to which he had been enlightened was a non-combative, healing martial art he called DahnMuDo.

DahnMuDo, like other Brain Education methods, establishes the proper, healthy flow of ki energy in the body, which leads to optimal health of body, mind, and spirit. Students of DahnMuDo develop lower bodies that are both physically and energetically strong. Their upper bodies feel unburdened and relaxed, with energy that feels diffuse and merged with universal energy. Their posture becomes straighter as their bones and muscles become aligned. Their dahn-jon, or core, becomes very strong and supportive of their hearts and brain.

There has been great demand for a training aid that DahnMuDo students can use to learn and study at home. Now the publisher of Ilchi Lee’s products, BEST Life Media, has created a 3-DVD set to supply that demand. The trainer on the DVD is Master Owoon, the leading DahnMuDo trainer who developed the DahnMuDo School curriculum and who manages DahnMuDo training around the world. In the DVDs, Master Owoon not only teaches students the proper DahnMuDo forms, but gives profound insight and instruction into energy principles not often heard elsewhere.

The DVD set will be available on September 30, 2009, but BEST Life Media is offering pre-shipping for pre-orders on their website. In the meantime, you can get a brief taste from this trailer:

Ilchi Lee’s Brain Art Festival a Success

Sep 17 2009 Published by under Brain Education

On August 15, 2009, Ilchi Lee shared his vision of new values, a new culture, and a new world with almost 4,000 people at Radio City Music Hall. Through his Brain Art Festival, hosted by the International Brain Education Association (IBREA) and the Korea Institute of Brain Science (KIBS), of which Lee is president, Ilchi Lee showed people that the potential of their brain is limitless. Since our brains create our problems, but our solutions as well, the potential of our society and our world is also limitless. Through our brains we can create an ideal world in which people work harmoniously together to benefit all.

At the festival, Ilchi Lee showed the audience how they can tap into their brain’s potential with Brain Wave Vibration. He lead them in a Brain Wave Vibration training, demonstrating a new way to do it to music composed by Arang Park specially for this event. The music incorporated a sound recording of the blood flow in Ilchi Lee’s brain during deep meditation.

You can watch a recap of this thought-provoking and thrilling event in this video:

The Benefits of Brain Wave Vibration

Sep 09 2009 Published by under Brain Education

Beyond the principles and theories that underlie Brain Wave Vibration, the most important aspect is the benefit you receive through actual practice. If you practice sincerely and with an open mind, I think you will be surprised how soon you will be¬gin to experience benefits.

The best way to understand the benefits of Brain Wave Vibration is to actually do it. In the back of this book you will find detailed instructions and suggestions that will help you make the most of the practice. Nevertheless, you can actually start right now, right here while you are sitting here reading this book. All you have to do is put this book down and gently shake your head back and forth. Close your eyes and concentrate on the movement of your head going back and forth. Just focus on the natural rhythm for one or two minutes—back and forth, back and forth. Go ahead—put the book down.

Emotions that came with the initial event

Sep 06 2009 Published by under Brain Education

However, I decided that my greater goal was far bigger than this one temporary situation. So, I opted to change my information about the event. I decided not to think, “I was robbed when I came to America.” I also did not want to think, “I have lost several thousand dollars.” Instead I decided to think, “I made a donation to New York City.” That way, I could be happy about the incident and move on toward the creation of my vision. And indeed, that “investment” did give rise to many great things, none of which would be possible if I had followed the negative thoughts and emotions that came with the initial event. Negative emotions are normal and natural in the face of life’s challenges, but to be caught up in them is detrimental to the progress of life. Realize how quickly you can change your brainwaves, and always keep an eye on the greater vision of your life.

All you need is genuine determination to bring what you desire into reality. If you really want to start creating your life, get the word impossible out of your vocabulary. Yes, there is a certain value to remaining realistic, but do you really desire much beyond the realm of realism? I have met few people who honestly desire something that goes beyond the basic laws of the universe. I am willing to bet that everything you are looking to create will fit very nicely into the system of reality as it is currently manifested, so don’t be afraid to after what you want in life.

I really don’t believe in greatness that is bestowed as a rare gift to a few lucky ones. Rather, I think everyone has greatness inside them. It is really just a matter of persistence—sticking to what you have envisioned until it is reality. I have a deep conviction that everyone, including you, has been given exactly the right set of gifts to fulfill some magnificent purpose for their lives. Greatness must simply be chosen. And if you choose it, it will happen.

Ilchi lee Educator Big Step Forward In Life

Sep 01 2009 Published by under Brain Education

I could have gotten lost in the details of those events and become swept away by the emotions that accompany them. I have come to realize, however, that life situations, no matter how difficult, are only temporary.

You must remember that life is not a romantic movie. When you take a big step forward in life, it is not likely that anyone will be there to say, “Congratulations! You are so brave! Here is your reward.” If you have someone that supportive in your life, that’s great, but don’t count on it. In fact, life sometimes dishes up exactly the opposite.

I remember arriving for the first time in the United States many years ago. I landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport, hardly speaking a word of English, coming to experience a culture that was completely foreign to me. I planned to meet a student of mine that was struggling to keep a center open there, so I had packed a few thousand dollars in my suitcase to assist him.

Ilchi Lee Brain Education Vision

Aug 27 2009 Published by under Brain Education

Every stitch is like a thought that you add to the overall shape of your life. Eventually, thoughts lead to action and the form will emerge, if you can only keep your intent in mind. If YOU have no clear vision, however, you will end up with a random pile of knotted yarn.

Everything I have achieved in my life happened one stitch at a time. I began with just one single student, and every step that followed was like a carefully placed stitch. Eventually, my plan began to emerge as a whole, just like a sweater takes form.

The key is to keep the big picture always in mind, even when it seems so far away. In my life, I have faced many moments that could have destroyed me.

Healing Chakra by Ilchi Lee: Translation of the Chun Bu Kyung

Aug 14 2009 Published by under Brain Education

In Ilchi Lee‘s book, Healing Chakra: Light to Awaken My Soul, he offers a translation and explanation of the Chun Bu Kyung, a 9,000-year old text that mathematically communicates the oneness existing among heaven, earth, and humans. This excerpt from the book communicates the origins of the Chun Bu Kyung and the basis for the training systems Ilchi Lee has developed: Dahn Yoga and Brain Education.

“In the ancient tradition of Korea, there existed a body-mind-spirit training system called Shin-Il-Hap-Il (Divine-One-Together-One), which sought to elevate human consciousness to its highest plateau, that of divinity. More widely known by the name Shin-Sun-Do, the philosophy and ideas contained therein were originally derived from an ancient sacred text called ‘Chun Bu Kyung’ or the Heavenly Code.

The Chun Bu Kyung is the highest authority among the sacred texts in Korean spiritual tradition. It is said that the Chun Bu Kyung was recorded by an ancient sage who realized his own enlightenment through his training regimen of Shin Sun Do, thereby gaining insight into the realities of life and death and the operational flow of the universe. Because the Chun Bu Kyung is essentially a numerical representation of the laws of the cosmos, it cannot be interpreted literally. It will only reveal its true nature and meaning to someone who has experienced the realities of life through Ki energy.

When I first realized enlightenment, I did not know that the nature of my enlightenment was already spoken of in the Chun Bu Kyung. When I finally had the good fortune to learn of it, I realized that my enlightenment had the same inspiration and source as that of the Chun Bu Kyung.

After knowing the Chun Bu Kyung, I could sense the energy of each of its 81 letters when I sank deeply into meditation. The teachings of the Chun Bu Kyung came to me not through the intellect, but through actual experience of its energies. When I experienced the oneness of Heaven, Earth, and Human described in the Chun Bu Kyung, I felt my body become part of the light of the cosmos, attaining a level of ecstasy and peace that spoke to me of divine blessing.
…
Chun Bu Kyung contains the essence of the trinity, in which good and evil, life and death, heaven and earth are not defined as opposites, but as part of the same cosmic harmony. When we realize that our essence is identical to the essence that makes up the cosmos, we overcome fear, sadness, and anger.

Oneness, where no barrier exists between you and me, is our essence and our divinity. As soon as we are born, we begin the struggle to light up this innate divinity. Once we realize our own divine enlightenment, we will achieve Heavenly Transformation. Heavenly Transformation is the process whereby human beings reach the highest level of awareness, and consciously return to the Source at the moment of death. It is this process that is delineated in the letters of the Chun Bu Kyung.

The secret to Heavenly Transformation lies in the human brain and Ki energy. The Chun Bu Kyung can also be interpreted as a numerical code, outlining the process by which the seven Chakras of the body are activated and made to stimulate the inner potential of the brain in order to achieve spiritual awakening.
…
The Chun Bu Kyung can act as a guide to lead us across the collective spiritual threshold.”

Here is an English translation of the Chun Bu Kyung:

One begins unmoved moving,
That has no beginning.
One divides to three crowns,
While remaining a limitless mover.
Heaven comes first,
Earth comes second,
Human comes third.
One gathers to build ten,
And infinite forms become the trinity (of heaven, earth, human).
Heaven gains two to make three.
Earth gains two to make three.
Three trinities make six,
And they create seven, and eight, nine appears,
And there comes a turning.
Three and four form a circle,
Five with seven makes one whole.
Way-less is the way all comes and all goes,
Features are changing, and change-less is the maker.
Divine mind is eternal light,
Looking toward celestial light.
Human bears heaven and earth,
And the three make one.

Ilchi Lee Brain Education

Aug 13 2009 Published by under Brain Education

As I see it, the human life span has three phases. First we have a growth phase that usually is experienced during childhood, adolescence, and our early twenties. Of course we continue to grow throughout our lives, but this is a particularly intense period of investigation and experimentation during which we try to get to know the world and ourselves.

In our late twenties and thirties, we move into what I call the “success phase,” during which we try to create something tangible with our lives in the physical world, perhaps through career or the development of our finances. The problem is that most people seem to get stuck in this success phase, thinking it is the most important aspect of life. This is a little like a caterpillar thinking he can do no more with his life than spend it eating leaves all day.

In reality, the caterpillar has the ability to transform into a beautiful butterfly, just as you can transform far beyond success in the physical world. Not realizing this, many people choose material success only to feel unfulfilled when it finally arrives.

Ilchi Lee Brain Education Feeling Of Expansion

Aug 10 2009 Published by under Brain Education

In a very practical way, you can see how vibrations can influence us. You have certainly experienced walking into a room that feels heavy and negative. Sometimes this may be because the people in the room have just been arguing or discussing a somber topic. Even if they have stopped talking, or even if they have left the room, you can still feel it. This is the effect of those people’s brain waves on the surrounding atmosphere.

Even inanimate objects can carry vibrations that influence us. Sometimes a room feels negative, not because of some human event but because of the vibration inherent in the objects in the room. You could say that interior decorators and artists are masters of vibration, manipulating the way colors and shapes interact to affect your brain.

The experience of beauty is the experience of vibrations that resonate with you in a way that opens you up to the world around you. If you have ever experienced the feeling of awe, you have experienced the feeling of expansion that can come through beauty. When this happens, your brain is recognizing the high-level vibrations it craves.

The Brain is the Key to Everything

Jul 27 2009 Published by under Brain Education

I found this description/advertisement of the Brain Art Festival that Ilchi Lee is producing at Radio City Music Hall on August 15th. As I read it, I realized that it basically represents/says what Ilchi Lee’s main philosophy is, so I thought I should share it here for all to read:

When most people think about the Brain they usually think about the medical aspect or scientific aspect of the Brain. Which means they see only the physical part of the Brain itself. But actually our body is connected to the Brain, our mind is connected to the Brain, as well as our Spirit, all our activities and creativity are all connected to the Brain. That means with out our Brain we can not work, move, maintain our health, happiness or peace. This means that the Brain is the key factor that manages our physical, emotional, and spiritual well being. Therefore our Brain is connected to our whole life and when you are able to utilize your Brain much more than you do now, it will help you to create the life you truly want to live.

They say most people only use 5% of their Brain, Einstein used only 15%. However we all want to use 100% of our Brains power, if we can do this then we can awaken and utilize the original function of our Brain, which is to maintain our health, happiness and peace. The Brain Art Festival will give you the kind of experience that can awaken your Brain to that kind of condition. Your Brain has accsess to all the solutions, even though it creates the problems, it also has all the solutions to the problems it creates. All the answers are within your Brain, the key to solving your own issues, or the issues of your family or even the world are in your Brain.

This is why by going to the Brain Art Festival you can find the true value of your Brain and you can see your Brain as a creator. The reason you should go to the Brain Art Festival is to learn to accsess this part of your Brain and live your life to your full potential. When you are able to meet with and live your life by the creator within your Brain, then your life itself becomes art. No matter what you are doing, whether it is exercise, eating, becoming happy and healthy, whether you are living your life for it’s higher purpose, your life becomes Art and that is what we call Brain Art. Brain Art is being able to utilize your Brain 100% and awaken the full value of your Brain, when we all utilize our Brain this way we can create a whole new world.

Please come to Brain Art Festival so we can create a whole new world together.

What do you think about your brain? Have you ever thought deeply about it and what it means to your life? What questions and answers do you come up with?

What does it mean to be an Earth Citizen?

Jul 23 2009 Published by under Brain Education

According to Ilchi Lee’s new book, Earth Citizen: Recovering Our Humanity:

Just like any other form of citizenship, Earth citizenship carries with it certain responsibilities.

I believe that the ultimate responsibility of an Earth Citizen lies in the care of the Earth and of other beings on the planet. Presently, our dominant cultures do not support this because they are largely based on values inconsistent with peaceful, sustainable living.

I cannot be the one to tell you or anyone else what these specific values must be. For many years to come, we must grapple with the various moral and ethical questions that are part of human society. HOwever, I do know that we urgently need to create a culture that will support, rather than detract from, our common humanity. That part of the transformation needs to happen now.

It will take time to create a better world. But the primary responsibility of all Earth Citizens is to work consistently and diligently toward this goal.

Overflow with Hope

Jun 26 2009 Published by under Brain Education

For several months in 2008, www.ilchi.com sent out a newsletter that featured Hope Messages by Ilchi Lee. At the time, Lee was emphasizing hope a lot in his lectures as he traveled, and from listening to some of them I really felt how important hope is to my life. It sounds very simple if you think about it, as do many things he says once you hear it. But I often find myself grateful that my teacher reminds me of important concepts or the deeper meaning of seemingly ordinary things and events.

Here is a Hope Message that is near and dear to me because it reminds me of how ubiquitous and abundant hope is, and yet how necessary it is for our lives. It also reminds me of how we all have a responsibility to share it when someone needs it.

Overflow with Hope

Let your heart overflow with hope. Feed the better part of yourself, and help it to grow stronger.
And give hope to every person you meet.
Don’t hold it in your chest,
But let it flow to every corner of the world.

For hope is not a jewel
To be guarded in secret,
But a spring that bursts forth
From the center of the earth
Full of Life.

It is a spring that carries your future
And the future of humanity.
It is the motor in our hearts
That propels humanity forward,
And drives us to our chosen destiny.

All we need to do
Is let it.
~ Ilchi Lee

My Experience with Brain Wave Vibration (a poem!)
To be guided to your own perfect rhythm,
to be coaxed yet never forced,
to be encouraged to find the unique vibration within,
and thus to live with it to its fullest
and highest degree.
This is the path as I perceive it. To each his own.
