You can feel this energy simply by quieting your mind. Ilchi Lee suggests this method. Close your eyes for a few seconds. Breathe deeply and just feel the essence of your being, without any thought or judgment. Can you feel the vibrations running over the surface of your skin? Can you feel it emanating from the interior of your being? This is your vibration - the vibration of life, the vibration of the universe.
Science, tending to reject that which cannot be directly observed, usually dismisses the notion of life energy as superstitious and irrational. In the past, however, many scientists sought proof of what they called elan vital, an invisible life force that animates living creatures. Ilchi Lee says, unable to find such proof, scientists have tended to prefer a more mechanistic understanding of life, and they reject this concept.
I was alone in a remote mountain, having gone without food or sleep for twenty-one days. I was at my utmost limit, in body and mind. I had an excruciatingly painful headache that pierced through my head in rhythmic and dreadful pounding. My body wouldn’t move, nor my tongue form a word. And it was at this moment that the cosmos opened up inside me and swept me into her arms with a loud resounding moment of enlightenment, a deafening crash that seemed to transport me to another world. “Cosmic Mind is My Mind and Comic Energy is My Energy!” my mouth automatically croaked in eternal joy, voicing the Oneness that I had glimpsed before and had even known intellectually, but had never felt at this level of profound depth.
This voice told me that my body is not me, but mine. It told me that my mind is not me, but mine. It assured me that the Cosmic Mind is my mind and that the Cosmic Energy is my energy. Through this moment, I came to feel the all-encompassing rhythm of life. I experienced the light, the sound, and the vibration that formed the source of all life, absorbing and understanding in wonder the cosmic Order within that governed all things. Through that moment, I had found my True Self, after so many years of fruitless search.
(Ask Ilchi Lee.)
————————————
“having gone without food or sleep for twenty-one days”
wow… When I did a fast for three days. It was very difficult.
This is so impressive scene to me even though it passed many snows.
“The Cosmic Mind is my mind and that the Cosmic Energy is my energy”
My View was changed by this sentence.
I think you can begin to see why Ilchi Lee put such emphasis on the health of human brain waves. These waves do so much to determine the quality of our lives, and we could do so much to determine the quality of our lives, and we could do so much to change our lives if we could only learn to control our brain waves. Imagine, for example, a young father coming home after a long, hard day at the office. His workday has been full of conflicts and disappointments, and his brain is emanating the expected emotions-anger, resentment, annoyance. Have something you want to know more about Brain Education? Use Ask Ilchi Lee and post your question you want to ask to Ilchi Lee
There are two ways this story can end. He will either change his brain waves before he walks in the door and all will be fine, or he will bring the negativity into his home. I don’t know to tell you the sad ending to this story as it would typically play itself out; it is an all-too-common scenario. When his children greet him, he may do his best to put on some facade of fatherly love, but if he is still transmitting unhealthy brain waves, his affection will be hollow, and his children, highly sensitive and open as children’s brains are, will feel the negativity that resonates from their father’s brain. Their brains are in turn affected, and overtime great damage may be done to them and to the family’s relationships in general.
The day is made up of countless meetings.
Meetings and partings…it is through partings that new meetings arise.
Whether it is a meeting between two beings or between human and nature,
Our minds are always being engulfed with contact and conflict.
Although the air that blows feels refreshing
At times it stirs the deepest scars within us.
Even the emotionless wind that comes to us
Causes multiple emotions.
There is no way we can remain detached when
We meet with beings full of emotions.
Contact between humans become
Joy, sadness, and pain.
When we do not have a map for true life
Thoughts of the future and past arise without mercy.
If you have a fantasy, it will be shattered.
If you have expectations, you will be disappointed.
It is when we calmly watch ourselves with absolute detachment that
We can see a true reflection of ourselves.
Fantasy or emotion
These are just waves and not the sea itself.
Do not cling to the waves, trying to ride it forever.
Do not try to become the sea itself either.
Become master of the seas
Master of the winds
Master of life.
This is only possible through absolute detachment.

My Dahn practice has benefited me in the following ways:
I have become a much happier and more caring person since I began my Dahn yoga practice. I have lost weight by following the diet program. I no longer have the aches and pains which used to hinder my sleeping my lower back no longer hurts nor does my wrist and arm which had tendonitis from repetitive stress. I have more patience in dealing with my customers. And this can be very challenging!
I believe Ilchi Lee should be recognized because:
The first day I walked into the Dahn center, I knew it was a place I could find peace as well as an exercise program. Ilchi Lee has created a program that has changed lives not only physically but emotionally and spiritually. I have joined many other programs in the past 30 years but never before was I even tempted to make a lifelong commitment. I have joined Dahn yoga as a lifetime member. I hope there will be more Dahn centers in Hawaii!
Additional Comments:
Since attending the Dahn Healing School I have been honored to be a part of the group who goes to the senior care center in Manoa to give massages to the residents there. I feel it is so important to give love and attention to those who need it and I thank the Dahn Center for giving me this opportunity. Hawaii is a special place and even more so because of the loving, healing energies of the Masters trained by Grand Master Ilchi Lee.

Remo
I enjoy my Dahn program because:
It is a well structured class to encompass stretching, breathing, training, yoga exercises and meditation all in one session. It is executed at a very simple level, appropriate for all ages, yet incredibly effective the way it is all structured together. It allows everyone to feel immediate benefits at a physical and mental level. But the Dahn program will quickly become even much more than that for people interested in their advanced training and workshops.
My Dahn practice has benefited me in the following ways:
I was able to drastically improve the energy flow within and ridding myself of blockages. My body is gradually healing itself. Physically I have more energy. I sleep better at night and my poor digestion improved dramatically. Mentally I am much less stressed and my ability to focus and concentrate improved greatly. But even greater benefits for me were at a spiritual level, where I was able to come to ter___ with some very important existentional understandings, due to that I developed greater joy and happiness. I found a new purpose in my life and I am starting to discover an inner peace.
I believe Ilchi Lee should be recognized because:
Ilchi Lee not only created a great well balanced Dahn Yoga and DahnMuDo program, but he also is a great leader and teacher and a pioneer in bringing Brain Education and Brain Respiration to the average people in a very simple yet tremendously effective way. It was able to personally experience the benefits of such techniques during vibration exercises and a great advanced training about Brain Respiration. Also I really received a great education about the subject by reading his books, “Human Technology” and “Brain Respiration.”
You also can measure his leadership by the leaders and the environment he created in Hawaii and all over the US and the world. I firmly believe that Ilchi Lee’s Dahn program will be a great and integral part of a spiritual awakening that is happening in Hawaii and all over the world.
Additional Comments:
I am tremendously grateful to Ilchi Lee for having devoted his life in creating this wonderful Dahn program. The program was the cursor in my spiritual awakening. I can now shine brightly and make a difference on this earth of ours. The Dahn program and Ilchi Lee’s websites will be one main part of my spiritual growth.
