The same environmental conditions that make it difficult to focus also weaken memory skill. Messages and images are constantly flashed before our eyes—in magazines, on billboards, on television, and through the Internet. This constant shower of information makes it very difficult to concentrate and focus solidly. If the brain cannot focus properly on a given task or piece of information, it is unlikely to remember that thing well. Essentially, if the brain cannot easily decide what is worth remembering, much information will be lost.

Furthermore, our memory ability is rarely engaged in today’s world. Phone numbers are stored on speed dial, and facts are readily available on the Internet. There is little incentive to remember items that can be easily stored on technological gadgetry. To make up for this deficit, it is important to purposely challenge the memory to keep it sharp.

It is common knowledge that we utilize only ten percent of the full capacity of the human brain. All of humankind’s achieve­ments in the areas of art, music, science, literature, as well as all works of genius, have resulted from use of a mere ten percent of the human brain. Utilization of the brain means that we become con­scious of the latent potential in areas of the brain that we are not currently using. The way to wake up the brain is to infuse the entire brain with energy while expanding consciousness to include every area.

01. Sit comfortably on the floor or in a chair, palms facing upward on your knees or thighs. Close your eyes and focus on the surface of your palms.

02. Keep focusing on your palms, feeling any sensation that is present. You may feel tingling, warmth, or some other sensation. Whatever you feel is fine, as long as you keep focusing on the palms.

03. Now slowly bring your palms off your knees, and hold them about 2-3 inches apart. In your mind’s eye, imagine that there is a golden ball of light between your hands. As you breathe in, increase your ball of light as you move your hands more widely, and let it shrink as you exhale.

04. Slowly bring the imaginary ball of light to your head. Visualize the bright energy sinking into the head and into the brain.

05. Return your palms to your knees and focus on your brain. Continue to visualize bright light emanating from within the brain.

Mammalian Brain

Corresponds to the limbic system of the brain – or the evolutionary second layer. Controls emotions such as joy, sadness, excitement, surprise, amaze­ment, and love, among others. A problem with the limbic layer will create abnormal emotional responses. The limbic system also controls anger, fear, guilt, worry, pain, joy… and a range of other human emotional responses.

Before beginning in words of Ilchi Lee, have children tap their fingertips gently on their lower abdomen, just below the belly button, to find their center of gravity. Remind them to focus on that point as they attempt to balance.

02. Slowly lift one leg as high as you can with your knee bent and your foot resting against the side of your other leg.

Later, attempt to hold for up to 30 seconds.

I am not enough of an expert in each ot the fields above to do more than just suggest directions toward which they should go. I don’t have any special abilities or intelligence. However, one doesn’t need special abilities or intelligence to make changes in this world.

You only have to choose to. And you will not be required to make great self-sacrifices. You can truly kill two birds with one divine stone. I write this book to ask all of you “anyone’s” to make the Enlightenment Revolution a reality. I want all of you to become experts in enlightenment. I want to see all of you in a new Earth Village that is full of love, peace, and most of all, harmony. In ten years.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could guarantee our children’s happiness? Virtually all parents and educators want to raise children who become highly productive, culturally aware, and emotionally secure adults. Yet so many children head into adolescence and young adulthood filled with angst and doubt about the meaning and direction of their lives.

Realistically, there is no way we can guarantee anyone’s happiness, including that of our own children. However, we can provide tools to help them achieve greater happiness on their own. This book, which is based on the Brain Education (BE) training system, places the source of happiness in the brain, not in external things, such as academic or financial success. It is based on the notion that happy, confident people are more likely to be more successful in all areas of life.

Brain-based models of education are becoming increasingly popular, perhaps because today’s children will be required to use their brains as no other generation before them. As the population has soared, the human world has in many ways shrunk, bringing people closer together through the technologies of communication and transportation. John Donne said long ago that “no man is an island,” but this may be truer today than ever before. In the twenty-first century, one could also contend that “no culture is an island,” as peoples merge and interact in ways unique in human history. This trend has brought great blessings and many challenges to the human condition. Read more from Ilchi Lee books.

Now the cerebral limbic system has heard that we are all one and that all life is interrelated. However, such information has made an impression upon the cerebral limbic system because the information was cold and dry, not accompanied by any experiential evidence such as happiness or love that would allow it to be permanently absorbed into the brain. When the cerebral limbic system truly “knows” that all is One and that True Love exists within us, we will find the absolute peace and happiness that we are looking for. To accomplish this, we need the power of the brain stem. Within our brain stem lies not only True Love but also true creativity of life. This is the place where we can find the Creator Within. We now know that the Creator Within has a specific address within our bodies.

Let us take a trip inside our brain stem. When your conscious awareness penetrates through the outer layers of the brain into the innermost one, you will feel a rapture such as you have never felt before. You will express that rapture through tears and smiles. You will feel the everlasting wellspring of life within you. Brain Respiration is designed to act as a travel guide to your own divinity within.
