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.

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.

Information used to be held by an elite few, the scholars and rulers of a time gone by. But now there is an excess of information available for everyone. Every piece of information is like a calorie. The brain, which has a natural love for acquiring information, slurps up the information wherever it can be found. Soon the brain is overwhelmed by the vast amount of information entering it. Information in its own right is not bad. no more than food is bad. But too much is too much, especially when the quality is not good.

Like fast food, you can get a lot of information cheap these days. Your mind, like your body, gets heavy and clogged up quickly if you don’t make good choices about what you feed it. Brain Wave Vibration is meant to help you stop processing information, almost like temporary information fast, so that you can begin to take control of your information consumption. To determine your information nutrition level, ask yourself some related basic questions.

One study found that workers who got together to participate in group drumming gained a much more positive outlook about their work and developed a sense of community with their co-workers. Researchers concluded that drumming circles provided a great release for the workers’ stress and that the practice could reduce worker burnout significantly, leading to a reduction in employee turnover (Stevens).

When people go out to a night club or blast the latest pop tunes from their car stereos, they are, in a sense, “self-medicating” their own brain waves. Typically, these songs have very heavy beats, which allow the brain to settle down to a more primitive, pre-rational state of being, in much the same way that tribal drumming helps produce subconscious, trance like states in primitive healing practices. Of course, the effects are not quite so dramatic, but the constant, heavy beat does provide the brain a chance to “simmer down,” escaping from the constant left-brain, prefrontal cortex activity that modern life demands. So the next time you see the guy in the car next to you bobbing his head up and down to the rhythm of the latest top-ten hit, you can think to yourself, “Oh! He knows Brain wave Vibration, too!”

In his book This Is Your Brain on Music, neuroscientist and musician Daniel J. Levitin discusses the effect music has on the human brain. He notes that music is unique in its ability to stimulate all areas of the brain at once. He says, “Musical activity involves nearly every region of the brain that we know about, and nearly every neural subsystem.”

In my five-step Brain Education method, the goal of the fourth step, Brain Integrating, is to unify the three layers of the brain—the primitive brain stem, the emotional limbic system, and the rational neocortcx. Very often one part of the brain undermines another, as when rational thinking is overcome by emotion. The goal of Brain Integrating is to get the various parts of the brain working together harmoniously, rather than competing with each other. Since it activates diverse parts of the brain, music seems to be a good step in that direction, which may also explain the cognitive advantage that children who study music seem to have over their nonmusical peers (Levitin).

When I train people in the Brain Wave Vibration method, I usually use sa-mul-no-ri, the traditional drumming art of my native Korea. It has its roots in very ancient aspects of Korean culture originating in the rituals of farmers who wished to ensure the success of their crops.

The four sa-mul-no-ri instruments each represent a different weather condition: the jang-gu, an hourglass-shaped drum, represents rain; the kkwaeng-gwa-ri, a small gong, represents thunder; the jing, the larger of two gongs, represents the wind; and the buk, a large bass drum, represents clouds. The instruments are also thought to signify the voices of both heaven and Earth. The buk and jang-gu, which are made of leather, represent the sounds of the Earth, while the jing and kkwaeng-gwa-ri, made of metal, represent sounds of the heavens. The music is composed to match the progression of nature—the wind blows, the clouds gather, thunder and lightning strike, and the rain falls. On hearing the music, listeners arc swept up in the cycle of Earth’s natural rhythms.

The goal of Brain Wave Vibration is to completely quiet the mind so that the latent powers of the brain can come to the forefront. However, this is not so easy for most people, since they are accustomed to constant, habitual chatter in their minds. Instead of vainly trying to shut off your mind, you can concentrate on a single positive thought. Choose something highly empowering that relates to your personal vision. For example, it could be something as simple as, “I am whole. I am one.” Chant this to yourself, either silently or aloud, as a personal mantra while you practice. Through this process, the vibrations of your own voice will add to the overall effect on your brain waves and will strengthen your transformational intent. If you have any weakness, pain, or disease in your body, you can also say the name of that particular body part as you practice Brain Wave Vibration. For example, if you are having a problem with your heart, then repeat a simple, affirmative statement, such as “Healthy heart, healthy heart.”

Breathe well.

Because of our rushed, stressful way of life, most of us do not breathe properly. Our breath becomes shallow and unstable. Do not force your breath, but locus on breathing naturally while you are practicing Brain Wave Vibration. Focus on exhaling completely because this will help you release tension from the body Also, open your mouth a little bit to allow your breath to flow freely. Imagine that you are expelling all the negative energy from your body through your mouth and nose.

You can practice Brain Wave Vibration just about anywhere, but you will find that different locations provide different effects. You can easily practice right at your desk with simple versions of Brain Wave Vibration, such as the Head Nod, even in the middle of a busy office. However, sometimes you may wish to go more deeply into the vibration than that sort of environment will allow. In that case, it is ideal to practice in a quiet place with few distractions where no one will interrupt. If you have a chance to do so, it is also a good idea to practice with others at a training center. When practicing with others, a resonance of the brain waves occurs that deepens the experience and enhances the effect.

Be confident.

This method is so simple that it can be mastered just by reading this book. However, when trying it for the first time, it is natural to feel awkward about the process and to wonder if your posture is correct. You may worry about looking silly, or you may have some doubts about the method’s validity. Try to empty your mind of these thoughts and just follow the natural wisdom of your body. Remember that there is no right or wrong way to practice. If you are sincere and are willing to focus on yourself, your results will be excellent.
