Sit in a comfortable chair that has a relatively straight back. Make your back comfortable, but keep it as straight as possible. Also make your legs comfortable; use a footrest if your feet do not easily touch the floor. Breathe deeply and relax the body completely. Remember, in a meditative state, you are fully conscious but as relaxed as when you are asleep.

Take several minutes to make sure that you are fully relaxed, but not dozing. Now take yourself on an imaginary journey through your future, visualizing each remaining year of your life, until you see yourself in your highest form.

In the East, we have a saying: “Where the mind goes, energy follows.” You can see that this is true in just about every human endeavor. Every human achievement, from the most magnificent architectural wonder to the most amazing technological instrument, first came as an idea within someone’s brain. After that initial thought, that person or a group of people had to continually focus their mental and physical energy toward the making of that idea into physical form. If they had not, it would have remained just a thought that passed through a person’s brain without consequence.

In achieving your goals, you need the same sort of will and determination that built the Seven Wonders of the World. The great builders, thinkers, and artists of the world were not content to think small, and neither should you be.

You should not be afraid to set your goals in life very high. Your vision of who you want to be in this world should fill you with a sense of profound joy. Don’t base your goals merely on what you think is safe, or on what others approve of or admire. When you picture your future, you should see the highest, most amazing version of you that you can possibly imagine. If you hold this vision dear to your heart and work toward it continuously, you will always be moving onward and upward in your life.

Are there conditions in your life that you don’t like but that never seem to change no matter how hard you try to make them change? Quit trying to make them change. Instead, see how you can change yourself in relation to the problem. Yes, there are some truly intolerable situations that are genuinely beyond repair.

In this worst-case scenario, you can resolve within yourself to leave the situation entirely. But most human problems are not so absolute. More than likely, even small changes that come from within you will completely transform your situation. These can change the way you communicate with others and help you reformulate your methods of coping with problems.

When looking at the problems that exist in our lives, the tendency is to look outward. For example, when cataloging your difficulties, you may say, “My coworkers are unsupported and my husband just doesn’t understand.” These sorts of things may be true, but there is very little you can do about them. Trying to make your coworkers more supportive and trying to force your husband to understand will probably only make things worse.

Most people do the same thing with their emotions— they look outward to find the source. Even though you know that emotion actually comes from your brain, you probably say, “This makes me happy,” and, “That makes me mad.” In actuality, nothing makes you happy or angry. The emotions all come from within you. How you react emotionally is entirely dependent on the set of preconceptions and expectations that exist within you. While you may be able to empathize with others and they with you, ultimately your emotional experience is entirely unique to you.

I Lee Says for example, imagine that two drivers take the same highway home from a vacation on the same day. Both have been driving for ten years and have excellent driving records. One of the drivers says, “That road made me so nervous!” But the other says, “The twists and turns on that highway were exhilarating!” What is really the difference between their two experiences? Did the highway do something to make one driver confident and the other nervous? Of course not.

The difference exists in the internal world of each driver, in the self-reliance and expectation within each driver. More accurate comments about the highway might have been, “I made myself nervous when driving on that road,” and, “I looked at the highway as a positive challenge.” This is the same sort of choice we face in all of our emotional reactions.

When we look outside ourselves to find the source of our emotions, we essentially give up a great deal of personal power. By looking inside, we can concentrate on the things that we can truly change in a given situation—the part that we have contributed. Even if someone else is responsible for 99 percent of a given problem, the i percent that you have control over is the only part you can really affect.

Doctor Ilchi says that  I urge you to ask yourself this question very sincerely. And then, ask yourself again. Try to really get to the core of what you want. This will free you from being caught up in the details of what you think you want so you can achieve what you really want.

For example, maybe you would answer the question by saying, among other things, “I want a successful career.” But why do you want a successful career? There may be multiple reasons. Maybe you want to feel that you have lived a productive life, maybe you want to feel respected, or maybe you want to be financially secure. Now ask yourself why you want these things. You may discover that you want to find meaning for life through productivity, or that you feel loved when people show you respect and when you are given adequate compensation for your work. Ultimately, you may find that all the things and accomplishments that you desire can be narrowed down to a few specific attributes, such as love or freedom.

Knowing what you really want will give you more options in your quest to find fulfillment because you can free yourself from the notion that particular details must be in place in order for happiness to be achieved.
As you create your life, remember to look at the forest, not the trees. If you get stuck looking at details, expecting them to be just so before you can move toward your dreams, you will probably never truly advance.

Sadly, our culture does not reward those who stick their necks out in this way. It rewards the safe choice instead.

You, as the hypothetical college student, will probably maintain a better GPA if you take the easy course.
Lee Ilchi advice that I would urge you to reconsider anytime you say to yourself, “I can’t do that,” or, “I am no good at that.” If you can’t sing, start belting out songs whenever you get the chance. If you have two left feet, get out there and start dancing the night away. Be unabashed about your inability and magnanimous in the face of your own embarrassment. Your brain will thank you for it, and you might just have a whole lot of fun in the process.

Rewiring the brain can be especially difficult when emotional memory is involved. Essentially, emotional memories can block your ability to earn new things, and therefore they can truncate potential. If you have ever experienced math anxiety or resisted trying something new for fear of embarrassment, you can easily see how emotions get in the way of learning. Often these blocks are buried deep in the subconscious and take some time to resolve. Brain Refreshing exercises help people identify and eliminate these emotiona blocks.

The role of emotions in the brain may be much more far-reaching than the personal limitations they impose. Emotions may also have great social impact.

Neuroscientist James LeDoux has been a pioneer in identifying how fear arises in the brain. Not only has he identified the location in the brain where fear is processed, he has also identified the mechanism by which the brain creates habitual fears, such as phobias and prolonged anxiety. In addition, he has described how this can play out on the cultural level, in the form of ingrained prejudices used to justify war and other human rights atrocities.

These questions about the ultimate nature of human experience are more than bothersome conundrums of scientific and philosophical inquiry; they are some of the most fundamental questions of life itself. This is why BEST practitioners are encouraged to ask themselves, “Who am I?”

Dr Ilchi Lee says that this simple question of identity is the one that can ultimately lead to the state defined in Eastern thought as “enlightenment” because a person who can answer that question honestly and confidently is a happy and fulfilled individual. The BEST 5 programs exist to help people investigate possible answers to this question and to define for themseives their true identity—what they really are and what this human life is all about.

Now that you have discovered the life you truly want to live, you are ready to create a lifestyle based on the goals that develop through understanding that purpose. This is essentially a spiritual quest because it requires continuous attention to, and development of, the highest aspects of your character. Brain Mastering cultivates the habit of continuous enlightened living as opposed to brief, transient moments of enlightenment.

Through the process of Brain Mastering, your brain will continue to transform and solidify neural connections that support the creation of a truly happy life. Increasingly, your brain will be able to find creative, workable solutions to the basic problems of life. Also, you will become more naturally decisive, and your mind will develop the habit of forming more peaceful rela-tionships with other people and the world as a whole.

Because identity is the core information affecting your life, it is of primary concern, and you can create a new identity based on your newly discovered life purpose. Once you are fully integrated with this new identity, creative potentia becomes practically unlimited.

This stage is called Brain Integrating because all layers of the brain are working together and the brain stem is now activated. Also, the left and right hemispheres of the brain begin to communicate better, and disparate parts of the brain start to work together in full cooperation. Through this deep exploration, you can discover the part of you that is truly meant to be in charge of your brain.
