In words of Ilchi Lee even in the Korean Shin-Sun-Do tradition, only a very few, select individuals were lucky enough to find a teacher to guide them. In this tradition, “Small Universe” is the state in which all of the Chakras are activated, all meridians of the body flow freely, and the mind and body become one. “Great Universe” is the state in which cosmic and bodily energy merge into one continuous and conscious flow, allowing discovery of the True Self.
A similar philosophy is expressed in Kundalini Yoga. This tradition was similarly limited to a very select group of individuals. Kundalini means “life energy coiled in the shape of a snake at the bottom of the spine.” It is said that when the coiled life energy awakens, the energy will travel up the spine through the Chakras and effect a spiritual awakening.
A picture from “Sung-Myung-Ji-Gwe,” a Century book on the practice of Shin-Sun-Do. The pathways of the “Great Universe” – various Dahn-jons or Chakras – are symbolized by drawings of a pot, crescent moon, and stars, among others.

Chakras have an intimate relationship with the spiritual growth of a person. To experience and understand the Chakras means that you understand the flow of life, including the meaning of life and death. You might posses the most precious of gems, yet, if you don’t know its value, then there is no difference between the gem and an ordinary pebble. One of the primary reasons that people are in con-stant search for “meaning” in life is that they don’t understand the Chakra system within their own bodies. Understanding the True Self, and thereby life’s meaning and purpose, lies in an understanding of the Chakras. Experiencing the Chakras will bring about an overall understanding of life.
More about subject Ilchi Lee writes in the ancient Asian mind-body-spirit discipline of Shin-Sun-Do (Way of the Divine), there is a system for achieving spiritual completion through the Chakras. Healing Chakra training is a modernized version of this ancient system of advancing the spiritual journey, adapted for modern times.
It is with the hope of utilizing this system of Shin-Sun-Do to effectively awaken the potential of the seven Chakras, that I write this book. The name “Healing Chakra” is simply the term I use for this modernized version of traditional Asian Chakra training.
