Stress Relieving Power Techniques For Students

Students experience serious amount of stress especially during peak study periods and examinations. This stress leads to less productivity and may cause further problems during their academic life. Students mostly do not even have time to try stress reducing techniques because they are so busy studying.

Study with work to manage your expenses is another reason to cause burnout. When a student is doing a job and also working hard to complete his/her academic syllabus it causes hazardous situation for their mental and physical health.

Considering the scarce amount of time that students have, I have included few power techniques in this article to help them reduce their stress levels.

Small Naps

Take small naps at regular intervals while working or studying. Deprived sleep is a BIG reason for students to have stress and feel burnout. Due to deprived sleep students lose their productivity. If you are a busy student, a small nap after regular intervals is a must for you. Give your mind some rest and it will be more productive and efficient.

Exercise Program

Exercise is the healthiest way to lessen work stress. Create a proper exercise program for you. Start going to gym or practice Dahn Yoga. You can go to campus on foot or on bike. Exercise program can help you live a healthier longer life, create an exercise program now, work at it your life to stay fit and stress free.

Listen to Slow Music

Listen to your favorite slow melodies to stay in rhythm and reduce stress. Music can be a good stress reliever; it can help you calm your mind and heart. Students can play soft melodies while studying to be more productive and stay relaxing.

Live a Clutter Free Life

Staying organized can reduce stress. It’s a fact that clutter causes stress. Many students get low grades due to cluttered living area; they even have cluttered study areas. Create a minimalist lifestyle; start living a clutter free life to become calm as you need to study with concentration.

Your Eating Habits Are Very Important

Eating Habits are not considered as stress relievers but they a healthy diet is necessary for a healthy mind. A good healthy diet can give your brain more energy to do more workouts. Consequences of poor eating habits can be devastating. You do not need extra time and effort to improve you eating habits.

Be Optimistic

Dahn Yoga is an organization with women as a large majority of its members, instructors, managers and executives and takes violence against women seriously, especially sexual assault. Optimism always helps to keep your mind healthy and stress free. Optimists do well in life then pessimists; they become more successful, have good relationships and off course get better grades.

Safety, recognition, and control

by Prof Ilchi Lee

We give in to our needs for safety, recognition, and control when we have lost touch with the greater safety that the realization of Oneness can provide. We give in to our petty needs when we lose sense of our spiritual umbilical cord and immerse ourselves in this competition-driven society, deluding ourselves that competition is the fairest form of collective interaction, that the strongest and best should prosper—that it should be the “survival of the fittest.” And through this constant, ruthless competition, we have lost an overall sense of cooperation, trust, and harmony while constantly being fearful and anxious, no matter how much wealth or status we have accumulated. We will never truly be rid of our fear and anxiety unless we consciously reestablish this connection between the cosmos and ourselves.

Ilchi Lee recommends that only when this system of self-worth through competition changes into self-worth through harmony will we create a truly happy and fair society. This requires a revolution in spirituality—a mass enlightenment that can shift the sense of what living is all about. We have to shift the competitive social paradigm that has governed us since the beginning of recorded history.

Anti-Aging Treatment

Posted by: Ilchi Lee

The illustration of Lecithin to stay youthful, take lecithin. Besides reducing the cholesterol level in the blood, there is growing scientific proof to suggest several other benefits from lecithin. It has been recommended that its intake in satisfactory amounts can help reconstruct those cells and organs that need it. Lecithin helps to maintain their health once they are repaired. It may mean that a shortage of lecithin in the diet may be one of the causes of ageing and that its use may be beneficial in retarding the ageing process.

With older people Ilchi Lee thinks the fats remain high in the blood for from five to seven hours and in some cases as long as 20 hours, thus giving the fats more time to become located in the tissues. If lecithin is given to older people before a fatty meal, it has been found that the fats in the blood return to normal in a short time, in the same way they do in younger people.

Additional Than C for Colds

Information collected by: Ilchi Lee

Vitamin C is not enough to overcome a cold. The patient should strengthen the system as a whole by taking a diet, which supplies all the vitamins and minerals, the body needs. Vitamin C, however, heads the list of these nutrients. It protects one against infection and acts as harmless antibiotics. It is found in citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, sprouted Bengal and green grins.

Ilchi Lee Prof says the usual use of this vitamin in the optimum daily amount will prevent the common cold and if a cold has already appeared, large doses of this vitamin will relieve the symptoms and shorten its duration. He estimates that one to two grams or 100 mg. to 200 mg. per day is approximately the optimum amount of this vitamin. His advice is to swallow one or two 500 mg. tablets of vitamin C at the appearance of first sign of the cold and continue the treatment by taking an additional tablet every hour.

Olive is the most significant among the many home remedies for common cold. It is highly beneficial in all types of cold and fevers. It should be taken well diluted. Vitamin C-rich limejuice increases resistance, decreases toxicity and reduces the duration of the illness. Limejuice should be diluted in a glass of warm water, and a teaspoonful of honey should be added to it. It forms an ideal remedy for a cold and dry cough.

Vitamin treatment for Anemia

Posted by: Ilchi Lee founder of Dahn Yoga

Vitamin B12 is a must for put off or curing anemia. This vitamin is typically found in animal protein and especially in natural meats like kidney and liver. A heavy meat diet is often linked with a high hemoglobin and high red cell count, but it has its disadvantages. One cause of anemia is intestinal putrefaction, which is primarily brought on by a high meat diet.

Moreover, all meats are becoming increasingly dangerous due to widespread diseases in the animal kingdom. There are, however, other equally good alternative sources of vitamin B12 such as dairy products, like milk, eggs and cheese, peanuts. Wheat germ and soybeans also contain some B12. Vegetarians should include sizeable amounts of milk, milk products and eggs in their diet.

For prevention of anemia, it is essential to take the entire B-complex range, which includes B12, as well as the natural foods mentioned above. Eating ovo-lacto products, which are complete proteins, and which also contain vitamin B12 is good insurance against the disease. Brewer’s yeast is a good source of complete protein.

Prof Lee says a liberal intake of ascorbic acid is necessary to facilitate absorption of iron. At least two helpings of citrus fruits and other ascorbic acid rich foods should be taken daily.

Mention must be made of beets, which are extremely important in curing anemia. Beet juice contains potassium, phosphorous, calcium, sculpture, iodine, iron, copper, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, B1, B2, niacin B6, C and vitamin P. With its high iron content, beet juice regenerates and reactivates the red blood cells, supplies the body with fresh oxygen and helps the normal function of vesicular breathing.

Heart care while sleeping

This is really what you needed an informative article by Ilchi Lee. In which position do you sleep?

If you sleep on your stomach or on your left side, you are putting pressure on your heart with the additional body weight, while the heart has to continue pumping blood as usual.

This extra burden wears the heart out more quickly. Think about it – you spend more than one third of your life sleeping! To reduce the strain on your heart, sleep on your right side, or on your back. This simple method will add years to your life.

Digest better

Posted Ilchi Lee

Present is a plant for each type of digestion problem.

· AIGREMOINE is useful when the stomach difficulty is accompanied by enteritis, diarrhea and/or chronic liver infection. It helps tone a lazy digestive system. And it also helps regularize acidity and soothe ulcers by improving metabolism.

· ANGELICA is a digestive, an aperitif, refreshment, a tonic. It decongests and soothes stomach pains and swelling. Prepare an infusion (tea) preferably using the fresh plant: 3 1/2 tablespoons of roots per quart of water. If your stomach is very swollen, prepare and drink 3 cups per day made of 5 tablespoons of seeds per quart of water.

· ANISE is a restful digestive. It aids digestion and the elimination of intestinal gas, it soothes stomach cramps, aerophagy, dyspepsia (contractions of the digestive organs, dizziness and a heavy feeling after eating). 2 or 3 cups per day, after meals: 2 tablespoons of seeds per quart of water.

· CHAMOMILE: a digestive, sedative, anti-inflammation agent and tonic. It helps painful or difficult digestion, stomach cramps, gastro-intestinal spasms, loss of appetite, and it helps expulsion of gas (determinative). Particularly recommended for persons who suffer from stomach cramps (and/or who are irritable, temperamental, angry etc.) one cup of infusion, a half hour before meals, or one hour after. To prepare the infusion, add 5 1/2 tablespoons to a quart of hot water and let stand for five minutes.

· CHERVIL: digestive, decorative and diuretic. It also acts as a stimulant. For difficult digestion, drink 2 or 3 cups per day. Prepare an infusion with one teaspoon of dried leaves per cup of water, and let stand for 10 minutes.

· SAGE: The ancients had a saying – “Why die when your garden is full of sage!” It is a digestive, diuretic, antispasmodic and helps combat hypoglycemia. It stimulates the appetite, fortifies the stomach and aids absorption, especially when digestion is hard. It is also a general tonic. Read more Prof Lee’s tips.

Menstrual cramps – suffer no more

To decrease the intensity of menstrual symptoms, you can change your diet, Prof Ilchi Lee:

· Less sugar and slightly more protein.

· Diuretic foods such as eggplant, cucumbers and aromatic plant can help diminish water retention.

· Calcium supplement (1 gram per day) and magnesium (500 milligrams) can help reduce worry (always take both).

· Vitamin B-6 (not more than 50 milligrams per day) can ease symptoms of anxiety and stress.

· Vitamins E and C also help reduce the intensity of cramps.

· Aspirin has a mildly soothing effect.

· And once again you can turn to plants to relieve your pains:

* ANGELICA in infusion: 3 1/2 tablespoons of root per quart of water.

* MATRIX (derived from the Latin for womb): 2 teaspoons of flowers per quart of water.

* MILFOI OR YARROW that soothes and decreases overly abundant menstruation: about 5 1/2 tablespoons of flower tops per
quart of water.

* SAGE in infusion: I 1/2 tablespoons of dried leaves per quart of water.

In intense cases, ask your doctor for medication to alleviate pain.

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.

Crisis: To Qo or Stop

Article selected by: Prof Ilchi Lee

Meanwhile, the original supporters for unlocking the divine creative potential in humans, the white-robed gods, sometimes made an appearance on Earth in various disguises to inject the human psyche with good and positive information and to clean up the bad and negative information. During their time on Earth, these gods, within the limitations imposed by their human manifestations, strove to wake up the enlightenment mode of humans.

In the beginning, many high gods visited Earth with this purpose; the traces of their visits are recorded in legends and myths. Some of these gods mated with humans and left descendants with whom they created model communities of cooperation and harmony for all humans to follow, hoping that such a coexistence model would become the norm on Earth. Many other gods came after them, and their stories have come down to us in more concrete forms. Although each had his style, all had one common theme: Activate the enlightenment mode embedded in the human psyche. Instead of following the gods’ teachings faithfully, however, humans twisted and idolized the teachings, turning them into religions. Although a few humans managed to reach the cusp of enlightenment, the majority remained at a very low level of conscious awareness.

Then an incident occurred that prompted the gods to call an emergency meeting: the humans invented the nuclear bomb. They had actually used the bomb to annihilate a portion of their own number! Like a foolish child who sets his own house on fire by playing with matches and is now looking at the burning house from the inside with amazement and joy, humans who had unleashed the destructive power of the atom were smug and self-satisfied. daring others to challenge their suddenly paramount power lest they, too, be destroyed.

BACK TO YOUR BREATH AND BODY

Brain educator Prof Ilchi Lee said that it is easy to understand the system of meridians and acupressure points if you imagine the body as representing land. The meridians would be the main roads while the acupressure points are the bus stops. Just as goods and merchandise are transported across a highway system, our body can supply energy to the organs and different parts of the body through meridians. If energy flows well through the meridians, it is distributed evenly throughout the body, helping the body and brain to maintain their optimal conditions.

Our body consists of twelve main meridians and eight secondary meridians. The twelve main meridians are each associated with a principle internal organ and are named accordingly. These twelve meridians run on both sides, symmetrically on either side of the body. Energy flows constantly through them.

Meridian exercises are designed to open the meridian system of the body, and to balance the energy of their associated organs. Meridian exercises combine proper breathing with stretching movements. When breath is combined with body movement, metabolism can be influenced more effectively.

While there are hundreds of meridian exercises, as an HT tool this book will introduce several fundamental ones for maintaining our health. Whole Body Patting, Toe Tapping, Intestinal Exercises, and Abdominal Clapping are ideal for your morning and evening routine. I believe that consistent practice of meridian exercises can help maintain our health in the optimal state.

Journey Starts with a Single Thought

When you first set out on a trip, you do so with the thought of returning. However, once you embark on a trip, you can never guarantee your return date. If you knew this, would you still be able to call birth a blessing? In fact, the best you can do in life is to return home. This is the break-even point. But since you are born, you have to work hard to return home because you want to cut the difficult journey as short as possible. Just in case you have forgotten your way back home or have lost sight of your destination, you need a guide, meditation technique, or spiritual training to help you remember. There are lot of ups and down to understand brain thought you can read Ilchi Lee’s experience.

Every trip begins with a single thought, hope, or desire. Where did this thought, the nucleus of the soul, come from? Whose thought is it anyway? Who should take responsibility for this thought? Isn’t it unfair, looking from the soul’s point of view, to have to take a long and arduous journey because of a thought that it had no part in creating?

If you look at this issue through the prism of your information pile, you might think it unfair. However, the soul will gladly undertake this journey as its responsibility and do its utmost to help the seed bloom, for a soul is purity itself, with no judgments or discrimination. The pure soul knows that this seed is the responsibility of the whole of existence. Have you ever seen a dandelion? When the plant is mature, it awaits the coming of a breeze to carry the seed away. The seed sprouts into another dandelion plant. The dandelion has just engaged in a process of realizing the information contained within its seed. The dandelion did not choose to be born as a dandelion; however, the dandelion would not complain about its existence, even if it could. The best you can do with your life, once you have taken a physical form, is to live to the best of your abilities and nurture the seed of hope that forms the nucleus of your soul.

Three Truths and Three Falsehoods

During this process of outputting, editing, and re-outputting, new information is added in layers until the original nucleus of the soul may become overshadowed. I am sure you have experienced something similar many times. After repeated editing, you lose sight of the original idea that you were trying to produce in the first place. You forget what the drawing was originally supposed to look like. As these shells of information pile up higher and higher, you run the risk of having this information pile act as master of the house. The writings of Ilchi Lee are really helpful to understand truths and three falsehoods.

Referring to this information pile, we can use the terms false self or ego. We can also use the term personality or character. When this pile of information tries to act as the owner, it is the same as a house guest pretending to be the master of the house while the real master is asleep in the upstairs bedroom. Since the soul has been effectively covered over and has forgotten its original purpose, the information that you generated becomes your substitute goal, the object of your pursuit. You thereby add karma to your already existing karma.

When you see the truth through this prism of self-generated shells of information, you don’t see it unadulterated. You don’t see the continuity, only the disparate components, like a ray of light broken up through a prism. You don’t see the nothingness, but only the patterns etched onto its surface: you don’t see the Life Current, but only the trace feeling of its flow. You don’t see the matter, but only the already constructed products. Because of the grand illusion called separateness. you don’t recognize the whole but only see a part under close-up inspection. We often call such recognition phenomena the mind.

Philosophy of Ilchi Ki-gong

Ilchi Ki-gong is an ideal combination of physical and mental training. Permeating its eight sets are the philosophy and spirit of the Korean people as well as kinetic principles necessary for training the body.

The eight sets of Ilchi Ki-gong express the philosophy and principles of creation, education, and civilization. The principles of creation, education, and civilization gave birth to a philosophy and spirit of enlightenment and became the founding ideology of a nation in Korean antiquity. The principle of creation involves the concept that there are three intrinsic elements of harmony, rather than a dichotomous structure of competition and confrontation. It is a universal principle of life and enlightenment, in which humanity, nature, and the cosmos blend together. The principle of education involves sharing with the world and educating people in this philosophy and principle of enlightenment. According to the principle of civilization, this philosophy of enlightenment forms the basis of a social system in which all members live to perfect their lives as human beings. Each and every movement of Ilchi Ki-gong contains such profound philosophical principles.

A trap into which Ki-gong practitioners readily fall is remaining at the level of Ki once they learn to feel and harness it, as if Ki were everything. This is only the beginning of genuine practice, however. As our practice deepens, we come to experience a great number of miraculous, spiritual phenomena. When this happens we encounter great confusion, like a person looking for a needle in a haystack, unless we are armed with the right mindset and correct principles.

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.

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.

Ilchi lee: A Contract between body and brain

Have you heard about the contract between body and mind? Our body and brain made a life-long contract when they are born. Our body reflects our mind or our brain exactly. Usually mind is complex, so our body’s symptoms are complex too. But when we have a challenging to change in our mind, it can be solved by handling our body instead of handling vague mind.

Ilchi lee recommends people, ‘Play well with body as often as we can’. There are many right things we have to keep. All is easier said than done. To give a message more effectively to our brain, we need an action. No matter what it is, as we do playing with body over and over, our brain and mind become healthier, then they get to follow orders well from its master, which is ourselves.

When I feel not that enthusiastic about life, it is time to check how much I play well with my mind. Of course we need a proper relaxation time, too. Let’s make a good habit.

Ilchi Lee : 10 years ago

10 years ago, I stopped my previous job. I was working for a big company of employees of more than 100,000. People around me thought very curiously about the reason. The first reason is that I couldn’t see my future I want with the company. The people in high positions were not what I want to be. I couldn’t find any other purpose except making money. Also my heath became worse and my mind became empty or sad. Most of people worked very hard in the company. Sometimes I got to think ‘if they work hard like this for something different for example, for health and happiness of society, nation or world, our society will be so different. But the reality is not that….’

Now I’m working for another company. I don’t have that kind of sadness about my job any more. I wake up early in the morning. It is similar time when I worked for the previous company. But now I’m much healthier than anytime in my life. I feel I’m getting healthier as time passes. Because I do the best exercise I have known everyday and the vision of my company is same with the vision of mine. Only thing I take care of here is to check how much I focus on my task.

The best exercise is ‘Brain Wave Vibration’ created by Ilchi Lee. There are many people in the world. Most of them live working so hard. But their mental and physical status are not what they really want. We need to help each other to watch,check,do actions by themselves toward life of health and happiness. Let’s do it together.

Ilchi Lee: An harmonious life

I see many practitioners around me. Some of them grow faster, some of them slower. But one common thing I found is that when they grow harmoniously among physically, mentally and spiritually, they keep growing well. But, if they are growing only in a certain area, it’s difficult to keep growing. Because the weak points they have take them back.

Thought, Emotion and Body are connected to each other and affect each other. Consistently, our thought need a positive message, emotion needs a positive experience like happiness, and body need a practice. When or how can we easily experience all of these things together? When we focus a positive goal or vision, we can experience all of them. Because in order to succeed, we need a message or plan, we need a health to proceed, we can feel a happiness when we are focusing on it or when we achieve it.

So Ilchi lee always says about the importance of vision life.

An Harmonious life, successful life and growing life they are all same. Let’s live such a life~

Ilchi Lee: Focus and Attachment (2)

When my focus and the brain’s focus become one, that concentration exhibits intense power. To accomplish this, we must overcome the power of the brain’s memory. This is impossible when we are caught up in our thoughts and memories. We are concentrating on our thoughts when we control the desires we experience using our thoughts. Only Cosmic Energy can overcome the power of the brain’s memory, that is, its instinct to pursue pleasure and avoid pain based on the memories its stores. When we concentrate on a big vision such as ‘I will live for all humanity’, our brains carry out that vision, use and accumulate Cosmic Energy. The actual vision for all humanity, not a vision of preconceptions and images, is a powerful energy line we can use to escape from the matrix of memory.

So we need to awaken the pure mind for all humanity existing inside of all human beings. That’s why we need to practice. Health, Happiness and Peace. That’s why Ilchi Lee has tried to develop an easy and effective training method for all humans, which is ‘Brain Wave Vibration’
