Ilchi Lee: a fan blog

Sometimes in my routine life, I find many things are connected to each other. For example, someone around me gave a piece of information during a conversation without any certain purpose. But after a few days, it’s found that information guided me to something important. It was very helpful for me. Whenever I realize such a thing, it’s so surprizing and making me feel joy and happy. Because it’s a feeling like I’m doing a right way or harmonious way with nature. It’s like I’m getting a help from the universe.

As I practice many exercises recommended by Ilchi lee, I can awaken the feeling of energy, then easier to live a life following the energy or the universe. Many people are wandering to find out some guides in many things. That’s right. We need references. But the final decision can be done only by myself. At the very moment, we’d better make our energy work. Let the universe work in me. It sounds great ^^.

Someone says all of us have a small jury inside of brain. It always keeps deciding something like ‘Do I feel better now?’, ‘Do I start action now?’, ‘Do I say something now?’,…. Let’s try to make the energy flow through our body and brain. Then let the universe judge through my brain. Because the energy is the language of the universe. Let’s play with the energy~

In oriental coutries, there are words about age. For example, ‘Bul-Hok’ means ‘age of 40′. The word itself means ‘free from temptation, free from vacillation’.

When I look over myself, when I feel good, it looks so. But when I feel bad, it is difficult to be free from temptation. How can I increase the time of feeling good? And decrease the time of feeling bad? For that purpose, nowadays I’m changing my rules. For example, about ‘Health’, I decided like this. ‘Whenever I feel an energy (Ki or Life energy), whenever I live a life within that energy, I feel healthy.’ That is not that difficult. That means easy to feel good. Anybody can feel the energy through simple exercises like ‘Brain Wave Vibration’ created by Ilchi lee. When it is repeated, it becomes a great habit to live a life within energy. When I’m within that energy, it becomes easy to watch myself, control myself.

And one more thing necessary for ‘Bul-Hok’ can be having a dream. Something to keep us going a certain way consistently. All the great leaders have a great dream. Yesterday I passed by book corner in a store, one book come to my eyes. ‘Remembering Martin Luther King, Jr’. He passed away 40 years ago. But his words are still alive strong in many people. He said, ‘I have a dream’, which is dream for justice, dream for freedom and humanity. And 40 years later, now there is a person running for President. What a great change!

I will be an age of ‘Bul-Hok’ soon. I’m confident that I will have a mastership over my life and have a dream I die for. Because I know the way.

Everybody has a certain set of rules to trigger their emotion. It should be to empower us. How do we know it? You can check it with these questions.

1.Is it easy or impossible to meet?
2.Is it controllable by yourself or not?

If we have a rule such as ‘When I get love, help, recognition from others, I feel happy.’ it seems not controllable by myself. Instead if we have this rule, ‘When I give love, help, gratitude or compliment to others, I feel happy.’ it seems there can be many ways to take an action right now, easy to meet, easy to control by myself.

What we need is just to prepare our body and brain ready for it. There are easy methods to do that. One of them is ‘Brain Wave Vibration’ created by Ilchi Lee. Let me explain briefly.

As a warming up, shake your body gently as you want to make it flexible or tap with your hands any part of body you feel stiff or blocked for several minutes. Then you body’s sensibility will be much better. Next is to shake your head gently with releasing your breath and feeling your whole body and brain. You will become more flexible or refreshed soon….

There is a great word in Korean. When someone live a life with feeling hope and happy when they give love and help to others, he or she is ‘Hong-Ik-In-Gan’.

Many leaders say,

‘If your rule for happiness is that everything must go just as you planned, you are not going to experience happiness on a consistent basis. Because life is a variable event like an ocean.’

Actually these days, I’m feeling up and down because it seems difficult for me to choose something. ‘Which way is where I’m supposed to go? Which way is the best way for my dream? Why are these things not clear to me? Am I have something I really want in my heart?……’ I know these time is for my growth. So I will run for it. I’m sure that Brain Education System Training created by Ilchi lee will help me with this journey.

‘If the ocean is life, and a wave is an obstale on the path to your hopes and dreams, will you run or ignore the wave because you are afraid? Or will you choose a bigger wave and ride it with joy?

One day, Ilchi lee has mentioned for practioners. There are steps to follow in practice. The first things are for health management such as deep sleeping of proper hours, healthy nutrition and excretion. Then practice in daily life such as managing with jobs, relationship with people,… then success. Then we can practice for enlightenment. Without those previous steps, the enlightenment may become temporary or not realistic. Final step as a practioner is ‘mind’. No matter what we do, what kind of mind at that moment is underneath? Through practice, that mind becomes pure like helping mind, loving mind and peaceful mind.

As we practice, we can increase our ability of watching, refreshing, choosing, focusing and controling. One of easy ways to start is ‘Brain Wave Vibration’ created by Ilchi lee. Let’s make a good habit.

‘We first make our habits, and then our habits make us’

In this morning, my eyes were open at 3 am. Then I said to myself, ‘Thank you for allowing me to create a new great day. I am ~’ Then I felt energy come to me. I want to change my life. I want to shape it the way I intended toward the values I think important in my brain. When I looked back how much I committed for that purpose so far, I feel it’s Not satisfactory. So I need good habits for changes. Because ‘We are what we repeatedly do’ - Aristotle.

One of the best and direct ways to change our destiny is through Breath & Brain. Now I’m breathing with feeling my body especially my brain to activate Brain Wave Vibration. The key concept is ‘Brain Wave Vibration’ in BEST(Brain Education System Training) created by Ilchi lee. There can be his lectures in many places in US soon. You will experience a great inspiration through it.

Most of people have certain types of rules about how they feel or what they expect from outside. For example, some people including me believe, ‘If you love me, then you never raise your voice’. Then whenever someone is talking to me with a raised voice, I feel that that person doesnot like me, then I feel unhappy about it. These rules dominate my life affecting my emotions even though they have no basics. They are just some of my information in brain or spiritual habits.

Nowadays I’m watching I have so many that kind of rules or global habits not having any basics. They can be called mind-sets.

If I’m a successful or talented person, then I should be able to do everything well.
If I fail in or say ‘No’ about what someone ask me, then the person doesnot like me any more.
If I’m a good person having a good relationship, then I never have any conflict with others.
……

And whenever these rules are satisfied, I feel happy, but if not, I feel unhappy with not knowing the original cause. They control my evaluation systems unconsciously. Then they control my emotions.
The rules have been formed in our brain for many years since certain time or experience specially when we were a child.

How can we be free from these mind-sets? How can we be able to watch these things?
We need practices based on our brains. That’s one of the reasons that Ilchi lee created BEST (Brain Education System Training). We need to make our brains like Sensitized, Versatile, Refreshed, Integrated and Masterful one.
Through the training, it helps us to watch ourselves ‘What makes me feel like this, right now’, ‘What rules I have in my mind?’, ‘Is this what I really want?’…then lead you the right way you really want.

Sometimes I’m surprised when I watch myself and find some mind-sets inside of me. Then I feel I need to be aware of them over and over to be free from it. When I live following energy (Ki), when I run toward a right direction, it becomes easier to be free. This journey started when I took a special workshop called a Shimsung (which means Self Discovery Workshop).

I ask myself again. ‘When do I feel happy or excited?’, ‘What do I want?’, ‘What do I want?’,…

From ilchi lee’s teaching,

‘How can we make good use of our brains? Anatomical or physiological knowledge does not allow us to make use of our brains. In order to use our brains well, we must first be able to control them.

As we live our lives, we sometimes become happy, sometimes unhappy, and sometimes peaceful due to our environments and personal relationships. This varies depending on what information is in our brains. Using the brain well means obtaining the wisdom to solve problems in the actual world. Problems and solutions concerning health, happiness, and peace, ultimately, are all found in the brain.

We must first develop brain sensitivity if we are to use our brains well. It means ‘through feeling Energy (Ki)’. If we feel Ki, this means that we are using our brains. Our brain waves are stabilized while we feel it in sensations like electric current, heat, and magnetism. All physiological pheonomena are regulated by the brain.

Becoming one with our brains enables us to discover a new world within them, one that once slept. Then we can experience and control a world of the brain that we didn’t know existed. The brain is our only hope for life and nothing is more precious or important than it. I want you to make good use of your bain and so find genuine health, happiness, and peace.’

The world of Ki energy (or Chi, Life energy,….) is really great. As you practice, you can feel lots of energy through your body and also communicate the world through your whole body. For more info, you can visit www.Ilchi.com.

Nowadays I’m making a new habit, which is getting up energetically, saying ‘thank you for allowing me a new great day’ and declaring my vision in short sentence such as ‘I am ~’. I remember Ilchi lee mentioned that ’sleep is a spiritual journey’. So waking up is like back to physical world in earth. We’d better say to ourselves when we wake up, ‘Welcome back to the earth, Materialize what you really want and feel it’.

Of course, for this purpose, we need to set up our daily pattern like no much food at night, keep a good state of mind before sleeping, go to bed not too late,… And keep remind us what I really want to do today, this week, this month, this year or in my life.

In a book, it suggests ‘Morning Power Questions’ as below,

1.What am I happy about in my life now?
2.What am I excited about in my life now?
3.What am I proud about in my life now?
4.What am I grateful about in my life now?
5.What am I enjoying most in my life right now?
6.What am I committed to in my life right now?
7.Who do I love? Who loves me?

To answer those questions immediately and positively, we should have a clear vision and be doing some actions on it. There are a few effective ways for Vision Meditation in the book, ‘In full bloom’ by Ilchi lee. One of them is,

1.Take a comfortable sitting posture with several deep breath feeling your whole body
2.Bring your hands in front of chest then feel a sensation on palms like warmth, magnetic feeling or an energy
3.Let the energy move your hands the way it wants
4.Raise your hands around your brain then imagine a picture you really want
5.Make the feeling bigger and deeper with a natural breath and a sense of energy
6.Imagine in detail that your desire has already been achieved
7.Breath deeply with concentration on your abdomen, clap 10times, rub your hands and massage your body

Let’s be successful in our physical world then back to spiritual world.

Most of time in daily life, we experience lots of thoughts and emotions. Some of them come intentionally but many of them come by itself. From environment around us, from my body, from habit,… No matter what it is, one thing clear is that it finally happens inside of my body. Then they affect our body like as stiffness, blockage, pain or opposite.

So when we want refreshing, the first step is to prepare our body for it. For example, ‘Head-Tapping gently with finger tips’, ‘Facial Release like squeeze muscles on face, openning eyes, mouth as much as you can’, ‘Toe-Tapping’, ‘Lying vibration of whole body’,… Then you can feel more flexible, more sensible over your body, easier to breathe comfortably,….

The second step is releasing exercise like ‘Laughing exercise’, ‘Breathing with feeling or imagining brain’, ‘Smiling Meditation’ or ‘Healing or simple massage for someone around you’,…

If you want more about this, refer to the new book, ‘In Full Bloom’ by Ilchi lee. Let’s make a good habit.
