Although we can’t adjust the size of our brain on a physical level, we can do so on an energetic level. Brain Expansion-Contraction Exercise uses the power of imagination to stretch and pull the brain in order to stimulate the fixed neural pathways and to enhance activity during DahnHak. With time, you will be able to match the expansion-contraction cycle of the brain to the rhythm of your beating heart. For this exercise, you will be using the energy sensitivity of your hands that you have experienced in Ji-gam training. In fact, this exercise is often called the Brain Ji-gam Training.
As Ilchi Lee tells in his book that your breath, hands, and brain become attuned to one rhythm, you will feel your whole body expand as you breathe in and contract as you breathe out. With enough concentration, your body will seem to expand to infinity when you inhale and contract to a dot on a page as you exhale.
With deeper immersion, your body itself will seem to disappear and only your consciousness will expand to infinity and contract to nothingness along with the rhythm of your breath. If you form a connection of your upper, middle, and lower Darm-jons, you will experience your body being transformed into a bright light. After thirty minutes in this state, you will feel that your body is filled with fresh energy and every single cell in your body is purified and rejuvenated.
