A hot Epsom-salt bath two times a week will be highly helpful in all cases of acne. This bath is ready by adding one and a half kg of Epsom salt to 50 liters of water having a temperature of about 100º F. The patient should remain in the bath from 25 to 35 minutes until he perspires freely. After the bath the patient should cool off slowly.

Why should this technique work?

Prof Ilchi said that the warmth of the water stimulates the flow of blood. The bloodstream is then able to carry off impurities from acne-affected skin. This healing is especially important in cases of “diabetes of the skin.” Acne sufferers who are in any way sensitive to sugar (whether or not they have diabetes) can advantage from the therapeutic bath.

A simple rule of colour therapy is this: Blue + Red = Purple

Prof Lee writes that the colour purple has potent healing effects. Yesterday we considered
diagnose of deficiency of the healing colours blue and red, but how do
these deficiencies related to states of illness and health? Cool,
soothing and sedative, blue alleviates pain, plummeting bleeding and
heals burns. It is beneficial in the treatment of dysentery, colic,
asthma, respiratory disorders, and high blood pressure and skin
deviation.

In a learn at the New England State Hospital in the United States, 25
members of staff with normal blood pressure were bathed in blue light
for half an hour. It resulted in universal fall in blood pressure. The
blood pressure rose when red light was applied.

Red, of course, keeps blood pressure from falling too low. Symbolic of
heat, fire and anger. It is a stimulating and energizing colour. It
stimulates arterial blood and brings warmth to cool extremities. Used
as a general tonic, it is very valuable in the treatment of diseases
like low blood pressure, rheumatism, paralysis, anemia and advanced
cases of tuberculosis.

Here is a simple action to ensure you benefit from both colours:
Purple or indigo combines the blood warming red and the cooling
sterile blue. It is an excellent stimulant without being an irritant.
Today eat some familiar purple food, such as black carrot, berries, or
purple grapes.

Going barefooted all day long, except when it is very cold, is also
regarded as a valuable step towards achieving good health and true
happiness. Men can draw vital energy and strength out of the earth
through their feet. Jesus Christ also attached a great deal of
importance to the practice of going barefooted. He himself was
barefooted and commanded his disciples likewise.

It is advisable to go entirely barefooted soften as possible,
especially on the bare ground but in rooms with painted floors it is
better tower sandals, since the painted floor affects the body
adversely if one walks on it with bare soles. The American Indians,
especially the Hopi people, lay great stress on earth treatment. They
believe that healing power is strong in leaves and herbs, powerful in
the air, but very powerful indeed in the earth. They have a custom to
bury sufferers from all kinds of disease in the earth up to their
necks, leave them there for some hours, and then remove them. They
believe that many of them are cured. Presumably the body draws unto
itself the healing minerals and some of the earth’s magnetism. To a
lesser degree, it is possible to obtain these benefits by baring of
the feet. Read Ilchi lee articles about health and fitness.

In cases of acute eczema, cold compress or cold wet fomentations are beneficial. The affected part should be wrapped with a thick soft cloth. The cloth should be moistened with cold water every 15 to 30 minutes for two hours at a time. The bandage should be left intact, keeping the cloth cold. There may be intensification of itching or pain initially but this will soon subside. Cold compress may be applied twice daily for a week or so.

Prof Ilchi Lee says that correct Nearsightedness without Glasses Here is a surprising remedy for short sight: Sun gazing: Sit on a bench facing the sun with your eyes closed and gently sway sideways several times for 18 minutes. Open the eyes and blink about ten times at the sun and look at some greenery. This helps nearsightedness and is good for inflamed eyes. Also helpful is the procedure called palming:

1. Massage both palms together quickly for 8-10 seconds. This friction creates a mild heat.

2. Shut the eyes and gently place the left palm over the left eye and the right palm over the right eye for one minute. Do not press the eyeballs with the palms, just let them gently rest there. Breathe in and out slowly to release stress.

3. Do again 2-3 times.

4. Other poses that strengthen the eyes include the Bhujangasana (snake pose), SuryaNamaskara (sun salutes), and Shavasana (rest pose).

Prof Ilchi Lee writes in his book that Neuroscientists say that our personal experience of emotion is based entirely on changes in the body. An accelerated heart rate when we feel fear, or the facial muscle changes associated with a genuine smile are examples. I dispute that contention.

Try an experiment for ten days. The next time you find yourself experiencing a really distinctive emotion (joy, anger, or sadness), focus for a second on your brain. Do not be surprised if it feels, in a physical sense, something that very closely correlates to your emotions. Keep a record of your findings in a small notebook.

For instance, if we are experiencing joy. our brain may feel light. If we are experiencing anger, our brain may feel hot. If we are experiencing sadness, our brain may feel heavy. And you may begin to spot other bodily signals, such as heartbeat, body temperature, and perspiration, physical signals of the emotional content of your next moment. As you become comfortable with this process, you can choose to change that moment.

If you can learn to change a moment, you can learn to change your life! It is not that difficult to achieve.

Ilchi Lee CREATED Brain Respiration (BR) as a program for people to gain control over their lives. Brain Respiration consists of a variety of physical, emotional, and mental exercises, progressing through five stages: Sensitizing, Versatilizing, Refreshing, Integrating, and Mastering. Each stage is directed by core principles and training methods, which I will discuss briefly in this chapter. For more details, please consult my book Brain Respiration or the website www.brainrespiration.com.

Before we can direct our lives, we must first attain a certain level of sensitivity. Imagine being an artist who cannot tell the difference between red and blue! Our senses must be awake and discerning if we wish to make progress in any kind of endeavor.

Many teachers, myself included, have described exercises that can help you recover your sensitivity to your body, your emotions, and even the voice of your soul. Here I would like to talk about a different challenge—becoming sensitive to the brain itself! Scientists state that the brain is numb, because it has no sensory receptors. I do not dispute their laboratory findings, but allow me to offer some speculation based on personal experience.

Please notice how your brain feels when you experience different emotions or behaviors. Observing your brain takes practice and a great deal of focus, because we have to decide to do two things simultaneously—experience our emotions and notice how our brain is feeling. I believe it is possible to feel an emotion directly in the brain, before it manifests in the body.

Concentrating on the brain sensations associated with certain emotions, as I am suggesting here, will soon allow us to recognize the emotionally reactive patterns that are unique to us in given situations. Then, if we become good at this, we can “head off” an upcoming emotion if it is one that we do not wish to experience!

If we can teach ourselves to “feel our brain” and watch the rest of our body for the signs that our brain is feeling a certain way, we will be able to predict in advance that a certain emotion is coming on. If what is emerging is an unwanted emotion, you can literally tell your brain to stop doing that.

Watching Your Body’s Reactions

We are being rained upon, drenched in data, even,’ day. Information from thousands of sources competes to get noticed by your consciousness, like children raising their hands in a classroom to get the teacher’s attention.

The information that is chosen goes through a certain process before becoming reality. For many people, this process is automatic. Your brain “decides” what to look at. what to take in, and you have no conscious awareness of this process taking place.

It only you could consciously monitor this process, you would be able to gam greater control over your life. In fact,you can.

The limbic system is a set of structures that produces emotions. These emotional systems create the approach or withdrawal behaviors that ensure our survival. For example, mammals can be conditioned to fear a situation that has life-threatening potential. Or displays of anger can ward off competitors for a scarce resource.

The neocortex is the newest part of the brain. This part of the brain underwent an amazing, rapid expansion that differentiated us, the human species, from our predecessors.

As a whole, the neocortex has endowed us with a capacity for reasoning, planning, and creativity unprecedented in the history of life on earth. It is the neocortex which is primarily responsible for our thinking intelligence.

However, Ilchi Lee contend that it is a grave mistake to think of the neocortex as the central structure of our human character. Emotions have a deep influence on our relationships, decision making, and life purpose, in both positive and negative ways. Learning to recognize and manage our emotions is a critical life task whose importance can hardly be understated.
