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 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.

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.

When the flowers bloom, the earth is filled with fragrance. When a flower blooms in the heart of a human being, the world is filled with peace. I believe that the Dahn Yoga programs developed by Ilchi Lee can make flowers bloom in human being’s hearts.

Have you ever just sat in the rays of the sun letting your head and brain soak up the light and the heat?

Ilchi Lee says that the brain should be full of light. When I do some meditations, I try to feel the sun in my brain, lighting it up and throwing all of the darkness out. After doing this, I feel lighter and better. As I go through my day, if I bring the sun into my brain, I can feel more freshed and focused. All of the negative thoughts that I had vanish. It sounds like hokey magic, I know, but it’s amazing what some simple visualizations can do for my mood

I am most grateful to Ilchi Lee for the hope he gives for my life to truly be free. Without his endless effort and his inspiring teaching, so many people would be leading a less inspired and happy life. I wouldn’t have the hope of living with passion. Before it seemed like finding your passion was for a few lucky people. And still, so many people don’t know about him. Thank you Ilchi Lee!

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 amazing and awesome (in the original meaning of “awesome”: inspiring awe).

Smith College (www.smith.edu) is a well-respected educational institution. While browsing their departmental webpages, I was struck by this image on the Education page:

What does it say to you? Does it inspire you to study? To fill your brain with information? To learn how to educate others? Or does it inspire you to find your own inspiration in teaching, learning, and becoming truly wise?

Today, I decided I will choose to find as many little things to be quietly happy about.  Some little focusing which strengthens my brain for focusing on happiness, so I respond better at the time when I am stressed or challenged.  Now I can feel my brain responding to this thought, it feels a little tingly in the back and top, like it is growing a little bit.  It feels really good.

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??

Good morning world!

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