Dahn Yoga Health Centers in Nevada

Prof. Ilchi Lee says that don’t feel hurried when you can’t easily visualize the shape of your brain. In Dahn Yoga the energy of your consciousness is communicated to your brain even if you only think about the specific parts of the brain, without creating visual forms in your mind. The purpose of this exercise is to link your consciousness with your actual brain through the flow of life energy. If you have trouble visualizing the specific areas of the brain, then try to visualize the whole, general shape of the brain; if even that is difficult, just focus quietly on the brain without attempting to visualize it. You can also try drawing the rough outline of the brain on a piece of paper and imagine that energy is being communicated as you draw the lines.

Move your gaze toward the back and look at the cerebellum, which controls motion and balance.

Now, go further below and gaze at the thalamus and the hypothalamus. Let your gaze drift slowly. Imagine various hormones entering the blood stream as they are released by the hypothalamus.

Let your eyes drift lower and find the mid-brain, feeling the actual texture and color of the various parts.

Now, go even lower and find the medulla, which controls our most basic functions in Dahn Hak.

Then imagine the neo-cortex, with its many folds and crevices. Look in all directions… front, back, right and left.

Now, gaze at the left and right hemispheres, slowly shifting your gaze from one side to the other.

Now, gaze at the bridge (corpus callosum) that links the two hemispheres, imagining the flow of information between the two hemispheres.

Next, go below into the sub-cortical region and gaze at the amygdala, which controls emotion.

Dr. Ilchi Lee Notes on Brain Respiration

If you are sitting on a chair, rest your hands lightly on your thighs. If you are sitting on the ground in a half lotus position, lightly rest your hands on your knees.

Breathe in and out three times and relax. Close your eyes. As you breathe out, imagine the tension melting away through your fingertips and toes.

Bring up a mental image of your brain, and first imagine the skull that protects the brain.

Brain Discovery Exercise is the first step in becoming familiar with your brain in Dahn Yoga. This exercise will ask you to imagine the brain as if you are actually looking at it, and to concentrate and expand the sensation you receive as you gaze carefully at the various parts of your own brain. You might feel a prickling sensation, a tingling feeling akin to a slight electrical current, or even a refreshing dissolving sensation.

Ilchi Lee principle of Shim-Ki-Hyul-Jung (energy flows to where the mind goes) is the basis for this exercise. A continuation of this exercise will result in a lowered state of brain wave activity, calmness of mind, and increased concentration. If you study a color-coded diagram of the brain, or practice drawing one by yourself, it will help you imagine your own brain during this exercise and increase its effectiveness.

In order to fully experience BR’s initial stage you must stimulate and awaken all of your body’s senses. Through Dahn Yoga Strengthening and Intestinal Exercise, you release tension in your body, relax your muscles, and calm your mind. In the ensuing experience of outer comfort and inner peace, you will be able to feel the subtle current of energy flowing through your body as you undergo the Ji-gam training. At this state of heightened sensitivity and awareness, you will be able to awaken the full potential of your brain by stimulating it with the flow of Ki energy that you direct with the power of your concentration.

Awakening the brain involves consciously sensing the individual layers of the brain, and stimulating the dormant neural connections with a charge of fresh energy. You will, perhaps for the first time in your life, think of the brain as a part of your own body. It is very important for you to maintain a state of relaxed concentration in order to maximize the benefits of Ji-gam training exercises. You need to sustain a tangible sensation of energy in order to feel your brain through its flow. In short, you are using your awareness of energy as a medium for communication between your consciousness and vour brain.

Ilchi Lee Philosophy and principles of Dahnhak

Our waist size, weight,height, cholesterol level, limit for alcohol consumption,blood pressure, blood sugar level? We define our health, and to a great extent ourselves, by such measurements. Yet, how familiar are you really with your own body? How close to it are you? Not just any human body, but your own body. How deeply do you know yourself? How well do you know your own brain?

According to Professor Ilchi Lee views Brain Respiration is a self-training program designed to teach you how to use your mind to transform the attitudes that define your life. You will develop the power and the will to transform yourself through direct experiences of your body, instead of listening to instructions given through words. And in order to fully experience your body, it is necessary to fully awaken all of its senses.

The most important factor in awakening all of the senses of the body is the communication between the mind and the body. No matter how sensitive YOU mav be. if vour consciousness is somewhere else and you are not paying attention, you will never feel the subtle sensations of your body. Our consciousness is often trapped in the purgatory of past and the future. Therefore, in order to fully experience our own body for Dahnhak, we need to remain in the present.

Why have we strayed so far from peace? In order lo realize peace on earth, we need someone to take peace by hand and plant it in the ground. Who will it be? When we all wish to be beneficiaries of peace, who then will be the benefactor of peace? Who will be the creator of peace?

Generally, Professor Ilchi Lee says that we think that peace is a concept too abstract and remote to have any bearing on our personal lives. When someone answers that his highest hope or dream is lor world peace, we are skeptical, and may think he is being facetious. We think that peace is matter for politics and religion, outside of our own realm of experience When people speak publicly of world peace or of curing social ills of humanity, they tend to be people with high visibility. When such influential people talk about peace and human welfare, we tend to nod at their words of wisdom. However, nine out of ten times, then talk ol peace contains a personal agenda.

Most business people are primarily interested in making money. When a person talks about peace in the context of business, we wonder whether he is using peace as a marketing ploy. There is an easy way to find out, however. Ask if he or she would be willing to take a profit loss or forgo a lucrative deal in the interest of world peace.

The role of Yoga studio in peace is really important.

Doctor Ilchi Lee offer this prayer of peace To declare a revolution
Of the human spirit.
I wish to announce that

It is now time
For all of us to spiritually awaken
To enlightenment.
That the time for an enlightened few is ended
The age of elitist enlightenment has passed.
For how long shall we seek for prophets
To come down from mountaintops
And tell us what to do?

We all must become enlightened To recognize our divinity To raise our consciousness And proclaim our independence. Peace is instinctive to humans, the essem e ol ilu ihyllim of life. It is the eternal immutable law ol the KIMIIOV 1′e.n.e is part of our human nature. It is as natural ami m-.lim live as breathing. Again, hold your breath for two mimiu ami see how you feel. Think about how long we have been without peace. If someone looked down at the collective human l.ue, it would be blue. The absence peace is not natural. II we apply the principles of harmonious rhythm to social, ii will inevitably become more peaceful. This book suggests that we apply the natural rhythms of life to human society, in everyday thoughts and actions.

Its all about Yoga program

Professor Droctor Ilchi Lee says that I believe we must begin to teach a new world-view in simple-terms. We must emphasize development of character and responsible action based on the three basic laws ol harmony.  I also love Dahn Yoga. We must teach that enlightenment is common sense within the grasp of all. Then these ideas will translate a new system ol living peace.

Enlightenment means recognizing the harmonious rhythm of nature within each of us, and thus the true meaning of peace. Enlightenment means understanding that our shared reality is not the physical body or personal character, but inner divinity, conscience, and soul. It is the realization that we are a manifestation of universal harmony itself. Enlightenment is peace. Enlighten men I is a choice. Therefore, peace is also a choice.

Since it is intangible, the only evidence of enlightenment is the change in our thoughts and actions. Enlightenment without action is meaningless. Enlightenment only matters when the principles of harmony and natural order become the basis for thoughts and actions expressed in the real world. Then personal desires will take a back seat to the collective good.

What fundamental change does enlightenment bring to our thinking and behavior? First, our life’s goal will shift from single-minded focus on material success to a desire to move toward completion or perfection. Second, control will no longer be the underlying basis of all human relationships. Mutual respect will stand in place of control. Third, the basis for our transactions will change from competition to cooperation. Fourth, our concept of ownership will change from that of possession to that of stewardship. Fifth, our concept of profit will shift to public benefit from personal gain. The basis for a society that considers enlightenment a matter of common sense, is the principles of harmonious living.
