What is also emerging is the concept of health as not being just reference to the physical well being or absence of disease. Rather it is the realization that peaceful mind in harmony with the environment is a requirement for a truly god health.

So what really is meditation?

There are various forms of meditation; these vary depending on the lead inspiration for the meditation. For example, Buddhists meditation may have a few areas of variation from that practiced by followers of Toa. Some aspects meditation emphasized in the Eastern tradition may not be emphasized in Zen meditation.

Whatever the meditation, there are certain features that cut across various types of meditation. These features are what provide the healing and relaxation associated with meditation. This makes meditation a science that provides similar results across board. It does not matter whether you are in the United States of America or Japan or African or Australia, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of meditation.

Perhaps this is arises from the fact that every human being has more than just the brains and the body. There is a space in us that is often empty and does not get filled by the material things. You have to fulfill this emptiness to be able to feel at home and in harmony with the rest of the planet earth.

How is meditation done or practiced?

All the forms of meditation focus on keeping the body at inert position and allowing a focus in the inside. This focus can be termed as a focus on the spirit. This emanates from the fact that more often than not, we engage our bodies in too much hustle and tussle that we lack the time to really find ourselves. Finding self is more of finding purpose in the many events or activities we undertake.

Meditation therefore often involves sitting down quietly. The environment must be serene and no distractions should be allowed. The body and mind are let free of thoughts and attentive to self.

One of the most successful meditations is one practiced in dahn yoga. This form of meditation is based on principles of Ilchi Lee. The practitioners of this type of meditation have develop a tradition of visiting particular sites in middle East for meditation. The result is great self awareness, being at peace and healing from lifestyle diseases such as diabetes. Dahn yoga presents a full package of meditation and promotes unity among the adherents.

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.

This untapped part of our brain, the intuitive brain, is a central part of what can be uncovered through Brain Wave Vibration. By tapping into this wisdom, you allow your brain to transmit it to all parts of your body for healing and complete happiness. Just as our intuitive brain responds to the vibration level of objects outside ourselves, our bodies respond even more dramatically to the content of our own thoughts.

As I see it, your brain is already designed to help you find health, happiness, and peace. All you have to do is let it.

Much of our mythology teaches us that life is about finding our way back to oneness. In Korean traditions, we have the story of Mago, an Earth spirit analogous to Mother Earth in Western society. At one point, humanity was in accord with Mago, and there was a state of perfect peace and harmony. Like in the biblical story of Eden, this paradise was eventually lost as people began to divide themselves.

According to the mythologies of many cultures, humanity once lived harmoniously only to lose this perfect existence. The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is a familiar example.

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.

The lower Dahn-jon is where the earth’s energy, flowing in through the ‘Yong-chun’ points, combines with both the energy of heaven, coming in as you breathe, and the energy of life that exists within us all. Here these energies merge and are transformed into a higher form of energy.

Energies gathered in the lower Dahn-jon also stimulate the kid­neys to elevate water energy and lower fire energy, facilitating opti­mal flow of energy according to the Law of Su-Seung-Hwa-Gang (Water Energy Up, Fire Energy Down). This results in a relaxed mind, clear head, and strong Dahn-jon.

In order to activate the second Chakra, concentrate on your lower Dahn-jon, which is located about two inches below your navel. The second Chakra connects to the prostate gland in men. In women, it is connected to the uterus.

It is also connected to the reproductive organs, bladder, and kidneys. When you breathe in, imagine a stream of air entering your body through the ‘Myung-moon’ point in your lower back, curling and swirling as it enters…

When you breathe out, imagine the stream of air uncurling as it exits. When you breathe in, your lower abdomen expands when you breathe out… your lower abdomen contracts…

Continue breathing as you are feeling your Dahn-jon, the second Chakra. You may feel emptiness in your lower Dahn-jon, you may experience a feeling of fullness…

Silently follow the path of your breath. You will feel warmth in your Dahn-jon. You may feel a beating pulse coming alive.

A person with a healthy first Chakra is full of life and the will to grow. If your first Chakra is blocked or impeded, you will experi­ence a lack of will, vigor, and passion. Without sufficient physical energy, the body cannot act as a solid anchor for consciousness, resulting in the lack of a sense of reality. This may result in the appearance of illness and over sensitivity to external circumstances. Spiritual richness can only arise with plenty of energy.

One of the most important decisions for your child will be how to use his or her brain in relation to other brains. Technology has caused the world to effectively “shrink.” As a result, children will have to deal with a large variety of cultures and people in their lifetimes. The artificial barriers of political boundaries are breaking down in light of the communication age. In fact, the younger generation may be the first in the history of humanity to identify themselves as citizens of Earth, rather than of a single nation.

Furthermore, environmental concerns are bound to reach their zenith early in the twenty-first century.

Perhaps the question Ilchi Lee says, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” should also be asked in a deeper and more meaningful sense. Maybe we should also ask, “What sort of character would you like to have? How do you want to feel about yourself? How do you want to treat other people?” These may seem like overly deep, almost burdensome questions to ask a child, but in fact children are making these decisions, whether we ask them directly or not. The child’s character and emotional habits are being formed in every encounter and experience. It is on the playground that we decide to live by the fists or by conscience. It s through play that we learn how to keep friends and make enemies

These aspects of “being” almost certainly have more direct impact on our children’s eventual happiness than the amount of money they make or the kind of job they pursue. The definition of success” based solely on money and career is obviously shallow and incomplete.
