Excepts from Book by Ilchi Lee
The universe is filled with the constantly moving, vibrating energy of life. Our bodies have passageways through which to breathe the life-giving energy of the universe. These passageways, called Hyuls, are used for acupuncture in oriental medicine. Just imagine tiny, invisible openings in your body from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet.
Energy breathing is the process of taking fresh energy in and breathing stagnant and tired energy out through these tiny holes. While respiration of our lungs is an exchange of gases, energy breathing is literally an exchange of life energy. In Hak Y Brain Respiration is the process of consciously breathing through the body’s meridian system. It allows you to concentrate on the exchange of energy in your brain, increasing the inward flow of fresh life energy while expediting the outward flow of stagnant, spent energy.
