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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!”

When we go down a road for the first time, we feel nervous and look carefully as we move forward. But we don’t think anything of going down a well-travelled road and just proceed without caution. The brain is the same way. When making a new choice, we ask all kinds of questions, such as “Is it right?” or “Is it safe?”. But if we continue this same behavior, then it becomes a habit and we just do that action each time without thinking about it. This means that a circuit which has been habitualized in the brain is performed by the brain without doubt or fear. But when making a new decision which is not an everyday practice, we must overcome the functions of doubt and fear that strongly resist our decision.

How can we increase the power to overcome doubt and fear? One effective way is imagination. Keep an imagination that how great or joyful we feel when we achieve a new decision or dream. Repeat and repeat. Then a new circuit will be formed in our brain. If that dream is really what we want, such an imagination will be not that difficult.

Now I’m thinking about habits I want to change. And I’m asking to myself if I really want to change them. If not, I need a new information and practice for my brain ready to accept that information. For example, through ‘Brain Wave Vibration method by Ilchi lee. Let’s become a master over our brain.

I just ate ice cream for the first time in a while… oh my gosh. My body is sooooo confused! How do children eat this much sugar and not feel the body stress?

Good morning again! I seem to find myself posting in the morning often. Today as I drank some delicious peach juice, I found myself wondering about the inspirational power of laughter. What do you think?

How can we become centered in our choices, trusting our life experience instead of our formal education? Upon this distinction depends our happiness, I believe.

Today when I logged in, I though for longer than usual about my id, “brainiac”. What exactly is a brainiac, anyway? I went to dictionary.com, and here’s what it said:

“brain·i·ac /ˈbreɪniˌæk/

–noun

–adjective

So there you have it. I did have a feeling that it was a not entirely complimentary term…

Jokes about the human brain abound. Consider this image, representing one common are of brain humor:

But what does this really say about human beings: that we are cynical? We don’t value half the population? What??

Isn’t that a great way to begin? Of all the choices we can make at the start of the day, what feels better?

This morning I woke up and thought, I want to make different choices today! So then what? I exercised for a bit, discovering how tight certain muscles were. “I can be productive!” I said to myself. What other purpose would I choose?
