Diabetes is a condition in which the body metabolism does not function properly. Usually when food is eaten, the body breaks it into mainly glucose. The glucose produced is then used by our cells both for the energy we need and for growth. However, the cells cannot absorb the glucose produced unless a special hormone produced in the pancreas called insulin is present. In some people, two problems usually occur in this process, first either the body does not produce insulin at all or second it produces insufficient insulin or the cells do not respond properly to the insulin produced. In these cases, the end result is excess glucose in the blood. This is the condition that is known as diabetes. When this occurs, instead of the glucose being absorbed by the cells it passes out through urine.
The two problems associated with insulin mentioned above give rise to the two types of diabetes. In diabetes type 1, insulin is not produced at all while is diabetes type 2 it is either insufficient or does not work properly. Both these types of diabetes are chronic. There is a third type of diabetes that is not chronic and is called Gestational diabetes. As the name suggest, this is associated with the gestation, i.e. the period when a mother is pregnant. Usually, after birth, the condition disappears. Mothers with gestational diabetes however have higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes after pregnancy while their children may develop the same later in life and may also become obese.
So, what causes diabetes? While this is not conclusively known, certain factors are associated with diabetes. It may be inherited, or caused by diets with high carbohydrates, proteins or fat. People who are obese, smoke or with high emotional stress are also known to be predisposed to diabetes as well as those advanced in years. Symptoms of diabetes include increased fatigue, weight loss, feeling hungry and thirsty a lot, urinating frequently. Others may include pain in the legs, frequent irritability and vision may be blurred.
Being a chronic condition, diabetes can only be managed. This involves controlling the levels of blood glucose, cholesterol and keeping blood pressure in check. To do this, one needs to watch their diet and use medicine when this is prescribed. Exercising regularly is highly recommended and is know to have helped many.
A good therapy for diabetes is Dahn Yoga. Several exercises in Dahn Yoga sessions are very helpful for diabetics. Besides the physical movements, the mental and emotional discipline that Dahn Yoga provides helps a patient manage what they eat, and what they think much better.

This is about a training technique so easy to understand that you really don’t need a book about it. The technique is Brain Wave Vibration, a healing and self-development method that anyone can learn in two minutes. This method is so simple, in fact, that complete instructions could easily fit on a single piece of paper.
So why, you may ask, would I bother with this book? Why not just pass out photocopies of that single sheet of paper? Or maybe post a video on YouTube or spread it through Internet discussion boards? Well, because I want you to understand just how deeply transforming this method can be, and I want to share my passion for it with you. I think it can change people’s lives for the better, and I am hoping you will discover the same.
Brain Wave Vibration is so simple that it is difficult for most people to believe, which is why I make my case to you through this book. I am not only arguing for the method itself. Rather, I wish to convey that vou have tremendous untapped power with-in you—power to heal, to create, and to love—that is waiting just below the surface of your being. Brain Wave Vibration exists solely to help you uncover that natural ability.

Here you can read about practitioners of Brain Wave Vibration who have improved their mental health along with their physical health. Many have found centeredness within them and have gained control over the emotions that have negative effects on their lives. People improve their personal relationships, they overcome depression, and they are able to break debilitating, negative habits. And, after only a few weeks of training, most people report improved focus and cognitive skill.
Focus
Lack of ability to concentrate is probably one of the most common mental problems of modern society. With so many distractions, it is a wonder that anyone can concentrate on anything. Brain Wave Vibration can help you build your ability to focus by clearing out the static in your brain caused by the constant bombardment of information.
For me, it is a quiet time, even with the sound of vibrating drums, a time to quiet my mind without interruption from my thoughts. The healing vibration stays with me throughout the day. Taking three minutes at home to practice Brain Wave Vibration brings me back into balance again (These lines written by Dawn Skong, Springfield, VA).

It is a good idea to do 100 to 200 repetitions at the beginning of any Brain Wave Vibration session in order to stability and center your energy. This exercise can also be completed in a variety of postures, including lying on your back or on your side. As you shift position, you will notice a difference in the sensation as it targets different parts of the body. It small black-and-blue marks appear on your abdomen, don’t worry—it is normal and will disappear after a few days of practice.
Shake out your arms and legs to relax completely. Stand with your feet parallel and shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees slightly. Curl your pelvis upward so that you feel a slight tension in the lower abdomen. Focus your mind on the area a couple of inches below your navel and two inches inside the body.
Cup your hands slightly and begin to rhythmically strike the lower abdomen area with both palms. Begin with 100 strikes. You may increase the number and force of the strikes as you progress.

Touch your heels together, tap your toes together, and then part the toes again, trying to touch the sides of the feet on the ground. Repeat several times in quick succession. Adjust speed on the motion depending on comfort level, but repeat at least 50 times without stopping.
When you begin to feel fatigued, slowly stop tapping and rest. Feel the subtle vibration going through the end of the toes to the knees, thighs, hips, and waist and to the top of the head. Challenge yourself to do a greater number of repetitions each time you practice.
Energy Meditation
This exercise will help you learn to sense the presence of energy. Its traditional name, Ji-gam, means “stop thinking,” and this is essentially the goal—to stop thinking. It requires deep, relaxed concentration, the perfect remedy for stressed-out brains. You should be as relaxed as possible before attempting this exercise, so stretch your body or use other forms of Brain Wave Vibration before you begin.

This is another form of Brain Wave Vibration that can help heal many physical problems, including headaches, insomnia, and circulation problems. Like Abdominal Vibration, Toe-Tap Vibration helps return the body’s energy balance to a healthy state by bringing energy down to the lower body. It is also a very good mind-body coordination exercise.
Toe-Tap Vibration is also a great brain-body coordination exercise. Because the feet are so far away from the brain, you may find that at first they do not want to cooperate! But keep working at it and keep trying to increase your speed and the evenness of the rhythm.

The feet also contain a wide variety of acupressure points that are stimulated during this exercise. Because all the energy lines in the body end in the feet, you can energize your whole body when you stimulate your feet.
1. Lie down on the floor comfortably. Place your arms and legs on the floor and close your eves. Breathe in and out several times to release excess tension.
2. As you are lying there, gently shake your head from side to side, allowing your shoulders, arms, legs, and your whole body to relax. Imagine that all your stress is melting into the ground.
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, making a whooshing sound. Repeat this 3 times.

The most important point is to assess the truth or falsehood of the information you receive. As you advance in your ability to tap into the vibrations of the universe, you will also gain natural ability to discern right from wrong and truth from falsehood. You will learn to trust your intuitive feelings in this regard. When something feels right, you will know it is right. When it is in accord with your true self, you will recognize it as truth; when it is not, you will also recognize that. David R. Hawkins has shown in his studies that truth and falsehood can be perceived intuitively by the body. It in doubt, just ask your brain not the thinking brain but the intuitive brain. It always knows and is ready to share its wisdom.
I believe that there is a link between disease and the health of our brain waves, and the health of our brain waves is determined by the quality of information we possess. It is possible that specific diseases, like cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes, all relate to particular brain wave patterns. If you can change the brain waves that are producing the disease, then perhaps you can heal the disease as well.
One student of mine was a reporter, and he was constantly bombarded with negative information because he was in charge of reporting all sorts of negative news accidents, crime, and the like.

It is important to note that not all empowering information is beneficial. Empowering information may help your true self, or it may simply build your ego, which is the product of your false self. For example, I could say to you, “You are smarter and better than everyone else in the world.” That is indeed empowering information. However, you can see how it is not information that will help you grow and improve yourself. You must be wary of the ego as you choose information because it can mislead you easily, even causing you to be offended by empowering information that will help you achieve your highest self. Disregard information that does not propel you toward your highest self. Learn to differentiate that which contributes to your true self from that which appeals to you only on the egoistic level.
Another tendency of the ego is to collect information just for the sake of stockpiling an impressive array of knowledge. Knowledge can be a helpful tool, but hording it only clouds the mind and distracts you from your highest intentions.

No piece of information is worth having if it weakens you or detracts from your ability to realize your full potential. Throughout their lives, many people receive dis-empowering information, messages that tell them “You are not good enough,” “You are not pretty enough,” “You are not smart enough,” and so forth. You must learn to view these beliefs as tragic pieces of misinformation that have given rise to disastrous results in the world. You must be willing to reject this kind of information, because if you believe any of it, even a smidgen of it, you have unconsciously allowed a destructive virus into your brain.
The worst is when you give yourself this information. Your brain will take you very seriously if you tell yourself that you are not good enough or that you are lacking in any way. It will live up to what you tell it you can do, so always give it clear and positive information about yourself. You can acknowledge that you have shortcomings to work on, but you should not think that your faults are a permanent part of who you are. When doing Brain Wave Vibration, imagine that you are shaking all of this kind of limiting information out of your brain.
