From The Principle of Brain Wave Vibration–by Ilchi Lee

The human brain produces electrical waves through constant activity, and those waves are brain waves. We have a traditional method of JungChoong, Kijang, Shinmyeong to restore brain waves to normal waves. But there is much easier method. It is far more direct and effecive, and involves creating resonance between your brain waves and normal waves, which is called Brain Wave Vibration.

We have very pure bio-energy, called Chunjikiun. If you vibrate your brain waves with this Chunjikiun, your entire brain produces normal brain waves.

It’s very easy for your thoughts, emotions, and life phenomena to become separated in your everyday life. You may experience this as though you are “falling apart.” But when the neo-cortex, limbic system, and brain stem all resonate as one through the very pure waves of Chunjikiun, you can experience brain integration. When your brain is integrated, instead of using just 5% of your brain potentia, you can use the other 95% as well. That means your Brain Operating System, or BOS, is activate. I have defined three Laws of BOS as follow:

First, if you choose it, it happens.

Second, good news makes a good brain.

Third, wake up and pay attention.

I do not tend to listen to country music.  But one day, I was having trouble finding any other station.  I heard this new song from Dolly Parton and  I really liked the words.

People always comin’ up to me and askin’
“Dolly, what’s your secret?
With all you do, your attitude
Just seems to be so good
How do you keep it?”
Well I’m not the Dalai Lama, but I’ll try
To offer up a few words of advice

Chorus:

You better get to livin’, givin’
Don’t forget to throw in a little forgivin’
And lovin’ on the way
You better get to knowin’, showin’
A little bit more concerned about where you’re goin’
Just a word unto the wise
You better get to livin’

A girlfriend came to my house
Started cryin’ on my shoulder Sunday evening
She was spinnin’ such a sad tale
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin’
So negative the words she had to say
I said if I had a violin I’d play

I said you’d better get to livin’, givin’
Be willing and forgivin’
Cause all healing has to start with you
You better stop whining, pining
Get your dreams in line
And then just shine, design, refine
Until they come true

And you better get to livin’

Your life’s a wreck, your house is mess
And your wardrobe way outdated
All your plans just keep on falling through
Overweight and under paid, under appreciated
I’m no guru, but I’ll tell you
This I know is true

You better get to livin’, givin’
A little more thought about bein’
A little more willin’ to make a better way
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Keep your chin up
Just hang tough
And if it gets too rough
Fall on your knees and pray
And do that everyday
Then you’ll get to livin’

The day we’re born we start to die
Don’t waste one minute of this life
Get to livin’
Share your dreams and share your laughter
Make some points for the great hereafter

Better start carin’
Better start sharin’
Better start tryin’
Better start smiling
And you better get to livin’

Jung Choong breathing is an effective way to activate the benefits of ‘Jung Choong, Ki Jang, Shin Myung’, one of the main principles of all Dahn exercise. I found these descriptions on the computer of the Dahn Center where I work and thought they were very useful:

 JUNG CHOONG: Calm your body by circulating & accumulating power in your lower body.

Benefits: healthy kidney & bladder meridian, relaxed chest, relaxed and warm organs, cool head.

KI-JANG: With calmness, circulate emotional energy healthfully and focus on your true self.

Benefits: Immune system improves, peace of mind, passion and productivity for the purpose of life

SHIN MYUNG: From your true self, choose your thinking that suits your purpose, change negative thinking habits.

Benefits: Increased independence of your health, become more effective and creative, deep satisfaction with life.

You can see the principle of Jung Choong, Ki Jang, Shin Myung encompasses body, emotions, and mind. By influencing one aspect you affect the others. So when you feel down or unsatisfied, check weather you have Jung Choong. Do you feel full and have so much energy that it naturally spills out of you? If not, you may need more Jung energy. Exercises like Jung Choong Breahing and HSP walking meditation

From Dahn Yoga Online

Enlightenment is true love. Without knowing your True Self, it is hard to know what true love is. Although we have spoken of true love throughout history, Loving without knowing your True Self cannot be true love. Exploring the roots of this kind of love, you will eventually Meet betrayal and attachment The reason we must become enlightened Is to recover the true love that lies insides our hearts.

from “Mago’s Dream,” Ilchi Lee, pg. 39

“Life is a trip, not in a metaphorical sense but literally.” “. . . What we do know, however, is that this trip is a journey for growth, both for our individual souls and for the collective soul of humanity. These are not separate.”

Silent lips may avoid many problems, but smiling lips will solve many problems!

Dahn Yoga practitioners around the world speak this phrase “My body is not me, but mine” with great enthusiasm. I am not my body, but the master of my body. When I first heard this phrase, I thought this is very simple and a matter of course.  However, while I kept thinking on it and meditate on it, one day the phrase suddenly came to my mind with a different meaning. How much deeply am I living on the simple principle? Am I really the master of my body? Or, am I doing something because it is comfortable and easy for my body to do it? Am I the true master of the body?

I really want to become the master of my body. That’s why I do practice Dahn Yoga again today.

What do you think about the simple phrase? “My body is not me, but mine?”

From ‘Peaceology’ book by Ilchi LeeAn Earth-Human is someone who realizes that Earth, and peace on Earth, are the central standards, by which we should measure all decisions. How can you know if you are making the right decision for the Earth? Just follow your conscience, for it is part of the soul of the Earth and the Cosmos. If our conscience stands for that divine scale within us, by which to judge the relative weight of options that face us, then the point on the scale that corresponds to zero is Earth. By calibrating our inner scales to the Earth, we are making Earth the standard by which to judge our options. In other words, Earth is the absolute value against which we may judge all other relative values. Many people claim to love the Earth. However, what exactly does that mean? Just as loving home does not refer only to caring for the house, loving the Earth cannot be limited to environmental protection. Loving the Earth must include acknowledging her people as one unified community. We must then protect our home and our entire family. This is what loving the Earth can mean. An Earth-Human has a connection to body, mind, and energy of the Earth. An Earth-Human knows he or she is one with the earth, and one with the whole of humanity. He or she therefore cares for and heals neighbors and family members with the unconditional love of the soul. An Earth-Human is a healer in every sense of the word. When our consciousness makes the leap and becomes Earth consciousness, we gain and group-egotism, and feel love for all of life on Earth. Some people argue that we should not limit awareness to the Earth in this age of space travel and space stations. What they do not realize is that being truly aware of the Earth will allow us to gain awareness of the cosmos as well, for they are intimately interrelated. They are in fact, one. You will experience cosmic arareness when you become truly conscious of the Earth. To do so, you must be free of preconceptions and self-defeating ideas of limitation. Earth provides us with a matrix for the path to conscious evolution and cosmic awareness….
