Jang-saeng Walking

cobright — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:00:58 +0000

The word jang-saeng means “longevity and that is what this exercise is meant to produce.

Walk with feet parallel while putting strength on Yong-chun, an energy point located at the ball of the foot, and on the toes.

Tuck the tailbone upward and tighten your lower abdomen. As you walk lean forward slightly, tilting forward about one degree. Walk with an open chest. Breathe naturally into the abdomen, being sure to exhale completely.

Walk with a bright smile. Walk with a sense of purpose and forward momentum. Swing both arms freely as you walk. Feel subtle vibrations spreading throughout the soles, chest, and the entire body.

Harmony with the moment

Through it, you can discover your purest mind and your highest ideals so that you can live for the betterment of all humanity. In other words, it can help you be true to who you really are inside. Please listen carefully to the song that is coming from within your soul; it is a song of peace and a song of hope. It is telling you that everything you really want will come to you. It is telling you that your potential is greater than even the widest of seas. Your brain is waiting, like the North Star, to guide you to your destination. I hope also that you will have the courage to face greater and greater waves during your life. There is no joy in riding safely in the protected waters of a bay. You must be willing to challenge yourself in order to achieve the life you want.

As you ride the wave of your life, look ahead to the waves that are coming, but keep yourself in harmony with the moment. The wave will go up, and the wave will go down. Either way, realize the natural beauty of this and learn to always be grateful. This is the source of lasting joy.

Surfing the Wave of Life

NOW THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED to reconnect to the rhythm of your own body and mind through Brain Wave Vibration, you can view the universe as a vast ocean of endless possibility. Remember that vour whole life is but a wave on that ocean. Your every thought and action adds momentum and direction to your wave. It is up to YOU to determine at which shore your life will arrive.

Approach your life the way a surfer faces the ocean. I have heard that a surfer must wipe out hundreds of times before ever having a really great ride. But all of those moments of failure teach the rider something about balance—not really something you could write in a book but a feeling, a way of harmonizing with the wave. If you seek this sort of harmony with everything life brings, there can be no failure.

At times, when you are out in the middle of the sea of life, you may feel lonely and afraid. You have no reason to fear, however, if you simply keep connected to the vibrations of the uni¬verse and the source of life. Brain Wave Vibration exists to help you keep connected to the cosmos simply and without much effort.

At first this image of your perfected self may not be very clear to you. You may be undecided as to who you really want to be. If this is the case, don’t worry. It is natural at the beginning of any journey. You don’t know what the Grand Canyon is like until you go there, right? But you can imagine it, and that imagination is an important part of what will propel you toward it.

Just focus intently, and soon you will become clearer and clearer to yourself. You can start with a general idea of who you want to be by setting small, attainable goals. As you gain confidence and awareness, your true identity will become increasingly obvious, like an image emerging on a Polaroid photograph.

Most importantly, always remember that this training is for you. You are not doing it to please anyone or to gain anything from someone else. This is a precious moment with yourself in a world that is always calling you outside yourself. Even five minutes of practice can become eternal if you allow yourself to go deep inside to explore the infinite landscape within you.

Ilchi Lee Earth Citizen & the Brain Notes

Young — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:59:50 +0000

There has been a lot of debate recently about the relationship between God and the brain. Some say that God is an outdated by-product of the brain, an illusion created by primitive parts of the brain. Others claim quite the opposite, saying that the brain contains evidence of a spiritual realm existing beyond the brain, which the brain is well designed to perceive.

One thing is clear to me: the brain is indeed designed for spiritual experience. It is also clear that such experience does not come from thinking long and hard about the minutiae of theological issues. Rather, it comes from a quieting of the thinking mind so that one mav open up to the mysteries of experience.

To me, it is not a worthwhile question to debate the existence or nonexistence of God. One way or the other, the spiritual realm is beyond the power of the human mind to describe, and as soon as we attempt to put our experience of it into words, we have already shrunken it, regardless of how beautifully we speak.
