FOR THE SPLEEN AND STOMACH

1.    Place your left foot forward. Inhale. Raise your left hand towards the ceiling as you tilt your body backwards, fol lowing the movement of your hand with your eyes.

2.    Simultaneously, place weight on your right toot with your right hand on your right thigh. Tilt backwards as much as you can. Exhale, and return to step 1. Notice the sensations in your lower abdomen and waist as they become stimulated. Repeat twice. Then perform steps 1 through 3 using the opposite side of the body.

One, Ilchi, and Reality

One is the first number. It’s the beginning and also the ending at the same time.

In cosmic terms, we start from the One and go back to the One. So, One is birth and is also death. Birth and death, beginning and ending, light and dark — these are some of the essential polar opposites that make up our reality.

The Korean character “Il” means “one”, so Ilchi Lee also shows these basic principles of reality in his name. “Il Chi” means “pointing the way” in the sense of pointing to the one path, the best option, the only way to go.

Jewels from Ilchi Lee

Every jewel, which has a bright and beautiful light, has been hardened deep inside the earth. After enduring this hardship, it becomes more beautiful. Same as our soul, after we are tried in the furnace, we get stronger. Ichi Lee shows us how much stronger we can become.

Memories

Each of us knows some people who are suffering from bad memories. Perhaps they were hurt, or witnessed something terrible, or any of the other myriad reasons that we become scarred. Those memories are so painful that they can’t get away from them. I am reminded of Ilchi Lee’s training methods, which in many cases have helped people learn to overcome difficult memories and reclaim their emotional autonomy.

How Ilchi Lee Uses Music

Most people would agree that music gives us so much benefit. Soft music helps us relax, dance music gets us excited, and classical music enriches our spirit. Dahn Yoga (founded by Ilchi Lee) is usually taught in a way that focuses around the style of music used for a particular class or training — like the music, the class gives us a similarly specific benefit. Ilchi Lee always uses special music during his trainings to help audience members feel the messages and get a deeper experience of the training.

Trees, human beings, and Ilchi Lee’s healing society movement

I was thinking the other day about how human beings are very much like trees. The main difference is that we can walk. Trees give oxygen in the circle of life. What do human beings give to the Earth? Well, a pessimist would say it’s suffering from what human beings experience, but Ilchi Lee believes otherwise. He pioneered the healing society movement as one of the ways to heal the Earth.

Learning from Ilchi Lee how to manage your information

With some focus, you can control the information that forms your worldview. Each part of your daily experience is based on information, and with careful scrutiny you can choose what information you keep and what you discard or reject. Even pain is simply information, translated into feeling. When you don’t give up in the face of difficult information, or negative information, or discouraging information, but you proactively choose different information instead, you will discover like Ilchi Lee that you have the power to get over the pain, to move beyond your challenges. You can say ‘I did it!”

Ilchi lee: A Conversation

Have you hear about Brain Education? Brain Education is a method to conversate with our brain. As we recover the natural status of it, it’s becoming easier to receive messages from brain. It gives us a solution in many ways if we just keep asking and trying to listen to. The ways can be various. In my cases, it often happens in bathroom ^^. I think I’m in a status of relaxed concentation good for receiving a message.

Ilchi Lee says, there are 2 ways to conversate with our brain. One is an accepting way, which is more focusing on listening to the voice of brain. The other is more active one, which is to input a certain purpose to brain then let it work for the purpose. It is utilizing our brain as a great gift.

If we keep our brain in the status ready to conversate with, our life will be really enjoyable like making of my own life movie. Let’s become a movie director ~

Pondering

How you ever sat for a long time pondering the purpose of your existence? Try it, and then let us know how it went:

Interconnectedness

As above, so below
As within, so without

These are more words reflecting the interconnectedness of everything. Everything inside us is reflected outside of us and everything in heaven in reflected on the earth, and vice versa.

Action

Last night I listened to a short bit of Neale Donald Walsh’s book Conversations with God on audiocassette. Neale Donald Walsh and Ilchi Lee have known each other for a while and endorse and meet with each other. I was very struck by the profound truth of what I heard. The principles that Ilchi Lee teaches are the same as the concepts in the book, although some of the words used to explain them are different. This view of the world and of our lives is spreading and is shared by more and more people.

Unity World Day of Prayer

“We are the peacemakers, one in the love of God.
With hearts united, we establish harmony and peace
in our lives and in the world.”

The goals of Brain Education are health, happiness, and peace for humanity and the earth. On September 13th, Unity Churches and Centers held the 14th Annual Unity World Day of Prayer during which they prayed together for peace. Several Dahn Yoga practitioners that I know also belong to a Unity Church. It’s touching to me to see various groups on the same mission. It’s the beginning of a Spiritual United Nations through Brain Education!

Forgiveness

One powerful positive thought is forgiveness. In the same article, Rev. Officer writes,

“Forgiveness means release. It’s a powerful subject. Sometimes we hold things inside of us for too long. Surely there is no better way to love yourself or another than to forgive. Wholeheartedly and without reservation, you let God love through you. You forgive yourself and then you give yourself permission to get on with your life. You forgive the ones who have caused you pain, releasing hurtful memories that only keep you from living you life fully.”

 Powerful words. But releasing is so much easier when you understand energy and you use Brain Education techniques. With simple physical exercises, a healthy smile, and positive thoughts, you can create your wish to forgive yourself and others and let go of everything you are holding. It’s a much easier process for things that are difficult to let go. Some things are easy, and others we need a little help with.

What do you do to let go of negative thoughts or energy?

Other people for positive thoughts

In the Aug/Sept 2007 issue of the new age magazine Earth Star, there is a short article called “A Reason for Hope” by Rev.Evrol Officer from Christ Church Unity. He talks about the kind of fuel we put in our minds. he says that we are “equipped to make it over any mountain but you must do so with good fuel, positive thoughts.” This sounds very familiar…exactly like Ilchi Lee’s Brain Education. I will keep feeding my brain positive thoughts!

Stay fast to your core

We can all find something inside that we can hold onto…our core, our center line. We try holding onto many things for safety and security. But then inevitable change comes along and takes them away. But our center by definition is unchanging…it is the safest place…although the way there can be scary. Change is actually a great thing because it shows us and reminds us of what is not really our center. Stay fast to the thing that doesn’t change, and then you can watch all of the changes around it with equanimity and learn from them better because you can see them more clearly. We can see them more clearly because we are not attached to them :)

Love and Healing

Yesterday I finally accepted that, while it might not be a grand, clear career goal, what my heart wants is love and healing in every moment :) Thank you to Ilchi Lee for starting an education system that awakens people’s minds and hearts and helps them to know they can achieve their heart’s desire through their brain!

Mother Teresa and Shim Sung

 Mother Teresa

Today I read an online article in Newsweek on Mother Teresa and her crisis of faith. According to the article, from two months after she started her own order, she faced doubt and fear about the presence of God. She felt emptiness inside and like she was going through a long, dark tunnel. In the author’s view, ”all the things that made Mother Teresa famous—the endless hard toil, the bitter austerity, the ostentatious religious orthodoxy—were only part of an effort to still the misery within….If Santayana was right to define fanaticism as ‘redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim,’ then Mother Teresa’s international crusade against divorce, abortion and contraception was the tribute that doubt paid to certainty: a strenuous and almost hysterical effort to drown out the awful fear of ‘absence’.”

I can identify with that way of dealing with doubt and fear. Luckily, Dahnhak and Brain Education have taught me ways I can use to really connect to myself, my heart, and my passion inside. I am not completely informed, but I feel like if Mother Teresa’s body and chakras weren’t in the poor condition they sound like they were, she would not have felt as cold and empty, and that, even while working hard, she could learn to connect to the source within. It seems trite to say, because she is such a famous personage who has helped many people, and I admire her very much, but it sounds like Mother Teresa needed to take Shim Sung.

The real value

of Brain Education programs for me has been having the ability to be in touch with who I am and what I really want. I’ve never found something that can do that so deeply in just my daily life. I am also grateful to them for helping me feel more flexible and grounded.

Attitudes of life

Also from the same quote…without a goal there is not reason for perisistence and tenacity. If you don’t have a focus, what will you be persistent about. You don’t face obstacles because you are not trying to get anywhere or focus on anything, and then you have less opportunity for personal growth. It’s about the journey.

My body is honest

My body is so honest. It gives me honest, truthful information that I can trust. That’s why I try to pay attention to it and understand its language. What is my body telling me right now? How does this outside situation or information or decision make my body feel? Does it feel healthier or does it make me feel ill, negative, or blocked? My body and brain work together to find truth. It’s a relief to know I can trust my body!
