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.

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.

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.

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.

For centuries, human beings desired to get to the moon. We created different kinds of aircraft, and kept launching these physical manifestations of our dreams. Eventually, we succeeded in breaking our limitations, overcoming gravity, and showing ourselves that anything is possible. Ilchi Lee has been working to bring peace in this Earth, and has brought many hopes to fruition.

Once upon a time, there was a human being. This human being wanted to know “why?” and “how?” and “wherefore?” and thus philosophy was born.

I think all parents and educators would agree that juice is a better children’s beverage than soda. But what about juice and milk? Many believe that children need the calcium and other nutrients that milk provides. Personally, I think it’s a little strange to drink large quantities of the lactation of another species. We’re the only species that does this, to my knowledge. No wonder so many people become alergic to dairy!

I was just poking around in Ilchi Lee’s official site, www.ilchilee.com and I was struck by this quote:

Consider table salt:

Well, I guess this is a brand, but you get the point. What is the mental equivalent of salt? Tutoring?

‘…a unity which is much too complicated for us to think about, except in very very crude ways…”

“I am one of the cells in this tremendous brain [the ecosystem of the earth] which I can’t understand, because the part cannot comprehend the whole. Yet, I don’t feel [...]like I am a foreigner in this world. Its aesthetic forms appeal to me more than most of the forms which men have produced.”

Ilchi Lee recommends:

If you want to live a joyful life,
once a day for the next week,
look in the mirror and smile from ear to ear
You may feel silly doing it,
but this physical action greatly stimulates one part of the brain,
creating a neural pathway allowing us to feel joy habitually.

In other words, smiles first, then be happy, instead of the other way around.

“Human beings are just as wiggly as nature, and our brains are an incredible mess of wiggles!”

Another priceless quote from that video: “One the one hand, nature is wiggly: everything wiggles!”

I just properly watched that Alan Watts video, and was struck by a few things. One was this quote: “There seems to be a big difference in style between the things that human beings do and the things that nature does, even though human beings are part of nature.”

A friend just sent me this link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8aufuwMiKmE

Please watch this video in which Alan Watts makes a Taoist analogy to the brain, and then post a comment with your thoughts.

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).

Brain Education: what an imposing title. But it’s such a simple concept. The idea (as I understand it) is to teach your brain, like a piece of computer hardware, how to work well. Instead of just stuffing it with information, to teach it how to discern, and create, and only accept information that is helpful, healthy, and productive.
