If you are extremely tense

Phil — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 05:32:31 +0000

Basically, this is your body’s habit, which is the direct result of your brain’s habits. If you attempt to perform Brain Wave Vibration in this state, you could pull a muscle or cause some other injury in the body. Besides that, you will have a hard time feeling the vibrations in your body if circulation is blocked by tension. Before starting Brain Wave Vibration practice, relax your body by slowly turning your head left and right and rotating the shoulders forward and back. You can also do a few stretching exercises before you begin. As you start Brain Wave Vibration, make small, gentle movements and build up to more dramatic ones.

If you cannot breathe well because of asthma or cardiovascular problems

As you exhale, make a long “ahhh” sound while patting the chest to open up the airway. Focus on exhaling all air out of the lungs. You will feel a subtle vibration that spreads out from the chest to the whole body. Chest Twist Vibration (page 144) will be especially helpful to you.

If you are experiencing or recovering from an extended illness

Phil — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 05:32:11 +0000

You can still practice Brain Wave Vibration, but you should take steps to conserve your energy during practice. You can easily practice from a lying position, and you can do it with the help of a caregiver. Lie down comfortably, relax your body, and close your eyes. The caregiver should hold both of your feet and lift up your legs slightly. The caregiver can then begin to shake the feet and bounce the legs gently up and down. You will feel the vibration starting from the feet and spreading to the whole body. Lying in bed for a long time can stagnate the energy circulation of the body, so practicing a mild vibration of this sort can make the body feel refreshed and lighter.

If you have arthritis or other joint problems…

Pain in your joints may become distracting or discourage you from practice. To combat this, start with very slight movements in the joints to bring increased circulation to these parts. Also, if you do feel pain, concentrate on exhaling the pain along with the breath. Visualize healing energy from the brain stem traveling through the body to the joints. As the pain decreases, increase your vibration to envelop the entire body.

Deliberately make vibrations in your body

Phil — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:32:21 +0000

DRAIN WAVE VIBRATION is so SIMPLE there is no need to analyze the method too closely. However, for the sake of understanding, you should be aware that there arc three distinct phases of the training. In actual practice, these steps should happen automatically without any clear distinction be¬tween each phase. It may take a few repetitions, a proper environment, and some extra time to fully experience all three phases.

Deliberately make vibrations in your body

When you begin, you will make the vibrations consciously. You may do so by following the beat of a song, or you may just fol¬low a rhythm that seems appropriate to vou. At this stage you should locus on relaxing the body as you move to the rhythm. Try to quiet the thinking mind by focusing only on the beat and the movement of your body. Avoid self conscious concern about how you look to others; just focus on yourself. To begin, gently shake the head left and right. As the neck starts feeling relaxed, shake the shoulders up and down. Let the sensation spread through your body as you shake your entire body while lightly bouncing up and down. As you shake, imagine that you are shaking off all your complicated thoughts and emotions. Try to release all tension from the body through your exhalation.

Carry vibrations that influence

Even if they have stopped talking, or even if they have left the room, you can still feel it. This is the effect of those people’s brain waves on the surrounding atmosphere.

Even inanimate objects can carry vibrations that influence us. Sometimes a room feels negative, not because of some hu¬man event but because of the vibration inherent in the objects in the room. You could say that interior decorators and artists are masters of vibration, manipulating the wav colors and shapes interact to affect your brain.

The experience of beauty is the experience of vibrations that resonate with you in a way that opens you up to the world around you. If you have ever experienced the feeling of awe, you have experienced the feeling of expansion that can come through beauty. When this happens, your brain is recognizing the high-level vibrations it craves. This sense of beauty can come in the form of beautiful objects, people, or actions.

Positive brain waves could change the world

Phil — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 14:08:46 +0000

And the really wonderful truth is this: as you expand your brain’s ability, more and more of the world’s beauty will become apparent to you, until finally the whole beautiful picture of reality is revealed to you.

If the color and shape of objects can have so much influence on us, imagine how much influence we can have on each other. I am sure you have experienced that when someone is in a bad mood, that mood tends to rub off on you. By the same token, someone’s smile can completely turn your day around. Imagine what a difference we could make if we really tried to put this to full use. Enough people producing positive brain waves could change the world, don’t you think?

A change in collective human consciousness essentially requires an invisible and inaudible communication between brains. As you learn to orient your brain toward positive information, the whole of humanity will be lifted up as well. That may seem overwhelming at first, but it requires only that you first change your own brain to work in a way that is most healthy for your own body and the Earth.

Focus properly for meditation

Phil — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:22:06 +0000

I once had a student who was a Buddhist monk. Like most monks, he spent many hours a day meditating, looking for that very state of oneness. He was very distracted, however, because he found that his health began to deteriorate. He could not sleep or sit still for long because of serious kidney problems. He began to practice Brain Wave Vibration and had immediate improvements in his health, and was finally able to focus properly for meditation. He says he now knows what Buddha meant when he said, “Find truth in your body; outside you will not find it in thousand years.”

It is very important to pay attention to the experience of energy in your body as you practice Brain Wave Vibration. Energy is the real stuff of life, and it is through energy that oneness reveals itself. If you can quiet your mind sufficiently, you will sense this in your body as a subtle but consistent vibration.

If you allow this sensation to expand, you will not sense any end to this energy and you will glimpse the infinite nature of the universe.

The Birth of Brain Wave Vibration

Phil — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:15:17 +0000

I have been teaching Brain Wave Vibration for years. Previously, I called it Jin-dong, which literally means “vibration exercise.” The purpose of this training was to open the energy system of the body for improved health. In those days, the focus was on the flow of energy through the body in the more conventional sense of traditional Asian medicine. Through the years, how¬ever, I have come to realize the role of the brain in this process. Thus, the name for this training is now Noe-pa-jin-doncj, the word noepa meaning “brain wave.” The brain orchestrates our bodily functions, and it is through the brain that we make the choices that determine the quality of our life experience. As my understanding has increased, I have come to see that the brain is the key to mental and physical health.

My initial interest was to create health through the enhanced flow of energy in the body. I began simply by teaching stretching exercises in a park. At first, only one person came a man who had suffered a stroke. I worked with him to stretch his body and to open the meridians that carry energy through his body. Over time, he gained more and more movement, attaining a remark¬able degree of recovery.

Everything you need for health, happiness and peace

Phil — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:00:53 +0000

If your thinking and habits are not synchronized with your higher intentions, it is probably because detrimental behaviors and thought patterns have been wired into the structure of your brain through years of repetition. Fortunately, neuroscience shows that we have an amazing ability to change the connections within our brains, and I am offering Brain Wave Vibration as a way to effectively clean the slate so you can begin using your brain as you really intend.

Most of us have been conditioned to think that the answers to life’s problems are complex. We look to complicated, obscure theories and scientific learning that require experts with years of study to interpret and apply. Furthermore, we tend to think that problems arise from somewhere outside ourselves. Thus, we also look outside ourselves for the answers. I am writing this book with the sincere hope that this method will help you dis¬cover that everything you need for health, happiness, and peace is already inside you.

A Method of Awakening

But you also know that it can be difficult to put these ideas into consistent practice in your life. You may have tried to follow the advice given by teachers, only to be disappointed as the same old problems reappeared and a deep sense of dissatisfaction returned to you.

I would like to suggest that if you have had difficulty making your reality follow the wishes of your mind, it is because you have not taken the time to change the tool with which you can change your reality. In other words, you have not taken steps to train your brain.

On the surface, it is easy to convince yourself that your thinking is positive, but in reality you may have many layers of negative thought that can undermine even the most sincere effort for positive change. Brain Wave Vibration offers a way to break through the layers of self-negating thought patterns so you can shake them off and begin again. For this purpose, we will look directly at the bodily organ that produces thought—the brain—and we will attempt to tap into its full ability through a remarkably simple and effective technique.

Practice Brain Wave Vibration

Phil — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 05:44:49 +0000

Stress in and of itself is not bad. The brain stem wants to create balance between the sympathetic nervous system, which produces the stress response, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which is in charge of the rest-and-digest response. When our bodies are kept in a constant state of imbalance, disease is the likely result.

The part we have control over is the prefrontal cortex, the thinking part of the brain. To put it simply, people today think too much. The thinking brain is constantly sending messages that keep our bodies in a state of alarm, and they never have ample time to recover. The trick is to quiet the thinking mind and gain control over the content it produces so that the brain stem has a chance to coordinate the equilibrium that it exists to create.

As you begin to practice Brain Wave Vibration, notice the kinds of stories you have been telling yourself. Think of the manifestations of stress in your life and try to discover their root. Maybe they show themselves physically through headaches, muscle tension, or even disease, or mentally through bad habits like nail-biting, mood swings, or overeating. Ask yourself what kind of mental story is connected to these manifestations– – stories about your own insecurities, the shortcomings of other people, and the inadequacies of the world around you. When you can stop telling yourself the same negative stories over and over again, you will be able to face the challenges of your life with strength and courage.
