Ilchi Lee’s Brain Art Festival a Success

Sep 17 2009 Published by under Brain Education

On August 15, 2009, Ilchi Lee shared his vision of new values, a new culture, and a new world with almost 4,000 people at Radio City Music Hall. Through his Brain Art Festival, hosted by the International Brain Education Association (IBREA) and the Korea Institute of Brain Science (KIBS), of which Lee is president, Ilchi Lee showed people that the potential of their brain is limitless. Since our brains create our problems, but our solutions as well, the potential of our society and our world is also limitless. Through our brains we can create an ideal world in which people work harmoniously together to benefit all.

At the festival, Ilchi Lee showed the audience how they can tap into their brain’s potential with Brain Wave Vibration. He lead them in a Brain Wave Vibration training, demonstrating a new way to do it to music composed by Arang Park specially for this event. The music incorporated a sound recording of the blood flow in Ilchi Lee’s brain during deep meditation.

You can watch a recap of this thought-provoking and thrilling event in this video:

The Benefits of Brain Wave Vibration

Sep 09 2009 Published by under Brain Education

Beyond the principles and theories that underlie Brain Wave Vibration, the most important aspect is the benefit you receive through actual practice. If you practice sincerely and with an open mind, I think you will be surprised how soon you will be¬gin to experience benefits.

The best way to understand the benefits of Brain Wave Vibration is to actually do it. In the back of this book you will find detailed instructions and suggestions that will help you make the most of the practice. Nevertheless, you can actually start right now, right here while you are sitting here reading this book. All you have to do is put this book down and gently shake your head back and forth. Close your eyes and concentrate on the movement of your head going back and forth. Just focus on the natural rhythm for one or two minutes—back and forth, back and forth. Go ahead—put the book down.

Ilchi lee Educator Big Step Forward In Life

Sep 01 2009 Published by under Brain Education

I could have gotten lost in the details of those events and become swept away by the emotions that accompany them. I have come to realize, however, that life situations, no matter how difficult, are only temporary.

You must remember that life is not a romantic movie. When you take a big step forward in life, it is not likely that anyone will be there to say, “Congratulations! You are so brave! Here is your reward.” If you have someone that supportive in your life, that’s great, but don’t count on it. In fact, life sometimes dishes up exactly the opposite.

I remember arriving for the first time in the United States many years ago. I landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport, hardly speaking a word of English, coming to experience a culture that was completely foreign to me. I planned to meet a student of mine that was struggling to keep a center open there, so I had packed a few thousand dollars in my suitcase to assist him.

Ilchi Lee Brain Education

As I see it, the human life span has three phases. First we have a growth phase that usually is experienced during childhood, adolescence, and our early twenties. Of course we continue to grow throughout our lives, but this is a particularly intense period of investigation and experimentation during which we try to get to know the world and ourselves.

In our late twenties and thirties, we move into what I call the “success phase,” during which we try to create something tangible with our lives in the physical world, perhaps through career or the development of our finances. The problem is that most people seem to get stuck in this success phase, thinking it is the most important aspect of life. This is a little like a caterpillar thinking he can do no more with his life than spend it eating leaves all day.

In reality, the caterpillar has the ability to transform into a beautiful butterfly, just as you can transform far beyond success in the physical world. Not realizing this, many people choose material success only to feel unfulfilled when it finally arrives.

Ilchi Lee Brain Education Feeling Of Expansion

Aug 10 2009 Published by under Brain Education

In a very practical way, you can see how vibrations can influence us. You have certainly experienced walking into a room that feels heavy and negative. Sometimes this may be because the people in the room have just been arguing or discussing a somber topic. Even if they have stopped talking, or even if they have left the room, you can still feel it. This is the effect of those people’s brain waves on the surrounding atmosphere.

Even inanimate objects can carry vibrations that influence us. Sometimes a room feels negative, not because of some human event but because of the vibration inherent in the objects in the room. You could say that interior decorators and artists are masters of vibration, manipulating the way colors and shapes interact to affect your brain.

The experience of beauty is the experience of vibrations that resonate with you in a way that opens you up to the world around you. If you have ever experienced the feeling of awe, you have experienced the feeling of expansion that can come through beauty. When this happens, your brain is recognizing the high-level vibrations it craves.

The Traditional Games Information By Ilchi Lee Brain Education

Aug 07 2009 Published by under 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.

ilchi lee brain art festival Matching Games

Aug 02 2009 Published by under Brain Education

This is a version of te old card-matching game. Even if yor child has mastered store-bought versions, they may find the geometric shapes in this version a little more challenging.

Preparation: On one side of thick card stock, draw images of different shapes in various colors-green triangles, orange circles, red squares, etc. Each image will have a matching image on another card to form pairs of matching cards. Draw the images in crayon or some other medium that will not show through on the other side. Alternatively, you can choose pairs of images from computer clip art or photocopied images from magazines to create the cards.

01. Shuffle the cards and place them face down on a table or at various places around the room.

02. Take turns trying to find matching pairs. During a turn, you may flip two cards. If they match, take both cards and try again. If they do not match, the cards must be turned back over and the next person can give it a try. You can see the cards turned over by others and try to remember their locations.

03. The game continues until all matching sets have been revealed. Whoever has the most cards “wins.”
