The Traditional Games Information By Ilchi Lee Brain Education

3-6-9 Games:

01. Sit or stand across from your partner. Or, if three or more are participating, stand or sit in a circle.

02. Each person counts a number, starting with 1. However, if your number contains a 3, 6, or 9, you must clap instead of saying the number (e.g., 9, 16, 32, etc.). If the number has more than one 3, 6, or 9, or a combination of these numbers (e.g., 66, 93, 36, etc.), you must clap twice.

Energy Ball:

01. Sit comfortably with your back straight, preferably in the cross-legged position. Relax your shoulders and tilt your head slightly downward. Place your palms facing upward on the knees.

02. Close your eyes and focus on the surface of the palms. Feel any sensation on the surface of the palms, perhaps tingling or warmth.

03. Gently lift the palms up from the knees and slowly bring the palms closer together until they are about 2 inches apart.

04. Focus on the sensation between the palms. Inhale and slowly draw the hands apart, feeling the sensation growing between the palms. Exhale and feel the “ball” shrink between your hands.

05. Continue to follow the breath as you grow and shrink the energy ball.

The Brain is the Key to Everything

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?

INTESTINAL EXERCISES

Ilchi Lee suggest Intestinal Exercise refers to the rhythmic pulling in and pushing out of the abdominal wall, which stimulates the intestines. 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. However, you should not overdo this exercise in the beginning, as it may result in some discomfort.

1.    This exercise can be performed standing up or lying down. When standing up, assume the same position as the abdominal clapping position (knees slightly bent, toes turned slightly inward). When lying down, lie on your back with your legs shoulder-width apart. Form a triangle by touching your thumbs and forefingers together, and place them lightly on the lower abdomen.
2.    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.
3.    Then, as if sucking air out of a balloon, push your lower abdomen out slightly, until you feel outward pressure in your lower abdomen.
4.    Start with one set of fifty and work your way up to a set of three hundred as you advance.

Meditation and Why the Brain Loves It

Useful info by Ilchi Lee that meditation is the brain’s way of “breathing deeply.” It is Dahn-jon breathing for the brain!

Now, remember that the mind and the body are inextricably linked. And just as Dahn-jon breathing calms the mind, so, too, does meditation calm the body.

Meditation is a term that refers both to a state of consciousness in which a practitioner watches oneself, as well as a method for achieving such a state.

As a method, meditation means quieting the mind in order to more clearly see one’s self. That is something that most people know. But here is something that many people do not realize: meditation is a phenomenon that occurs naturally as our consciousness awakens.

Acupuncturists must undergo training

Acupuncturists must undergo training and receive a license in order to practice in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, among other countries.

In the United States, the first state licenses for acupuncture were issued in the mid-1970s in California. Not all states regulate acupuncture. Since acupuncture is a relatively new profession in the industrialized countries, there is wide variation in licensing, training, guidelines for practice, and proficiency examinations from state to state.

At the time of this writing, in New Mexico acupuncturists have significant latitude in their practice of acupuncture. Upon licensure they are granted the title of Doctor of Oriental Medicine. By contrast, the states of Idaho and Wyoming have no acupuncture provisions; practicing acupuncture is neither legal nor illegal. In Arizona, one can self-administer acupuncture without a license.

ABDOMINAL CLAPPING

Abdominal Clapping is a simple but effective method for strengthening the lower abdomen (especially Dahn-jon, your body’s energy center) by rhythmically striking (patting) it with the palms of both hands. Stimulating the area in this way facilitates the circulation of both blood and energy throughout the body. You will also feel increased warmth in the area. This exercise will assist in the prompt removal of excess gases and waste from the bodv.

1.    Spread your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees slightly.
2.    Point your toes slightly inward and feel a slight tightening of the lower abdomen.

Strike the lower abdomen area with both palms in rhythm, lightly bouncing your knees with each strike. Begin with only fifty strikes per session and work up to three hundred strikes as the lower abdomen is strengthened. You may increase the number and force of the strikes with more practice.

Divided, but Ilchi Lee reminds of unity

We gather and separate repeatedly. Through the division, there’s diversity. It makes the world beautiful. But Ilchi Lee reminds us that the division is not eternal separation. We go back to the one sometime later. Our brain is the tool to go back to the origin. That’s why Brain Education is important for improving our world and reminding us that we are all part of the same whole.

Nothingness: Ilchi Lee Says It’s Everything

Who am I?

It’s the most basic question for who are searching for enlightenment.

Consider this idea: I am nothing. I came from nothingness.

When we realize it deep inside our heart, we can connect with the origin of life.

Ilchi Lee teaches when we become nothing, and then we can become everything.

Beginning with yoga, suggests Ilchi Lee

There is nowhere to start but the beginning. There’s a saying that when we begin to do something, it’s half done already. We worry about our health, but it’s hard to start to do something good.

I want suggest starting a practice like Dahn yoga. Consistent practice is the best way to take care of our body and mind. I’m sure Ilchi Lee knew that when he created the practice.

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.

Fortune, Ilchi Lee, and successful brains

We easily think that the successful people are fortunate and gifted.

But they trained their brain to be a successful brain. Their good fortune doesn’t come all at once. As Ilchi Lee teaches, it will come when we have trained and prepared.

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.

The Human Brain, according to Ilchi Lee

The human brain is an amazing organ. It is in charge of all our physical

functions, and it is the source of all our emotions and thoughts. All human

creations—our art, our architecture, our technologies—begin with the brain.

Our brains, in fact, are what make us essentially human. The unique abilities

of the human brain are what most clearly separate us from apes, and it is our

brain, not brawn, that has established our predominate role on the planet. Our

physical bodies, while amazing in their own right, are relatively weak. We have

no fangs or talons, and even the most developed human musculature pales

compared to that of a grizzly or an ox. Nevertheless, we thrive as no other

animal has thrived on this planet. Why? Because the brain has allowed us to

control and adapt the environment to suit our needs, delivering us from many of

the harsher realities of nature.

Birds, Ilchi Lee, energy, and freedom of flying

Birds fly freely in the sky. When I do energy dancing, I can become a bird. I can’t become a bird physically, but I can share their energy with them, and feel an echo of their joy in flying. When I practice Dahn Yoga I can become more connected to everything and feel a sensation of sharing energy together. Ilchi Lee wants everybody to experience this, which is why he started Dahn Yoga.

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.

How to work with your emotions, according to Ilchi Lee’s teachings

One day, my aunt asked me how you could be so calm even somebody makes you get mad?

She said, “I can’t control my emotions and they hurt me.”

Yes I have emotions too. I get hurt when somebody is hard on me.

But the important thing is not whether I have emotions or not, but how am I dealing with it.

If I am a slave of emotions I could be miserable, but I become a master of them I can live my life much more as I wish. In my case that’s the result of Dahn Yoga and Brain Respiration, and Ilchi Lee suggested these way.

When you were born — is that like Ilchi Lee’s Brain Wave Vibration?

Is there anybody who can remember when they were born? That seems to be one of the most primal moments of our life, when we first enter this physical existence, graduating from the previous chapter of our development. Ilchi Lee talks a lot about this progression through a physical existence, and frequently asks that we think about our purpose in life. Is anybody who knows what’s the purpose of his or her life? I don’t know completely, but by now I’m getting an idea.

Progress and resistance, as Ilchi Lee teaches

Our belief systems often end up being quit limiting to us, when the time comes for us to expand into a new paradigm, or accept a new idea; to grow. If you want to get out of your limited beliefs in order to progress, instead of avoiding or denying pain, usually there is something you have to accept. Then change comes to you. If you resist, don’t accept what’s happening, or push back against reality, often you create more difficulty for yourself. However, the catch is that you must sometimes challenge reality in order to bring about deep and long-lasting change. You must simply trust in your intuition to know what is the right course of action for you. This is the sort of thing that Ilchi Lee teaches, and each of his students bring these truths into the world, in their own way.

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.
