This morning I had an aching pain in my left abdomen that caused so much pain in my left leg also. I asked my Dahn yoga instructor what it was from. She said it looks like its from your large intestine you are releasing some thing big. So, she had me do intestine exercise for 5 minutes and after that all the pain was gone. WOW! Dahn YOGA Is amazing!

Ilchi said that “We must endure. The last study is the study of living to our enlightenment. He said without pain we cannot grow. We can’t only do what we like. We must endure until the end.”

From Ilchi Lee’s site
Prove Yourself To Your Brain While you need to trust your brain, you have to allow your brain to trust you. To secure the confidence of your brain, you must check yourself regularly, again and again, because we are all subject to all types of doubts and fears. It is not through your thoughts or words, but rather through your actions that you can really check yourself. Through your actions, you must show yourself what kind of person you are, persuade your brain of this, and win your brain’s total trust. If you think a lot, but do not act, it shows that your brain power is not yet adequate. Your brain is failing to send a signal powerful enough to move your body. No creation is possible without action. Nothing meaningful at all happens without action.

From Ilchi Lee’s book Peaceology for Healing Society
In order for enlightenment to become a matter of common sense, we must base society on the principles of harmonious living.
In order for enlightenment to become a matter of common sense, we must base society on the principles of harmonious living. This will come about only when those who recognize their own enlightenment stand up and set an example of enlightened and harmonious living for others.

Peace is a matter of application, rather than theory. It is a mistake to think we are contributing to peace on Earth just because we think, speak, or give lectures about peace. We cannot actualize peace with words and thoughts alone. We can bring peace to the world only by concrete and sustained effort to heal body, mind, and spirit for ourselves, our neighbors, our communities, and for the whole of humanity.

From a translated lecture by Ilchi Lee
Our brains actually start out as blank slates. They respond according to the pictures we draw on them. We must draw on our brains pictures
Our brains actually start out as blank slates. They respond according to the pictures we draw on them. We must draw on our brains pictures of our own choosing. We have the right to do this. What kind of picture will you draw on your brain? Will you draw a peaceful picture? Will you draw a picture full of love? Will you draw a picture of growth or a picture of destruction? A brain continues to develop in the direction in which it is trained. If you use your right hand a lot beginning when you are very young, your right hand will develop; if you use your left hand more than your right hand, your left hand will develop. It’s the same principle. How will you train your brain? We have not been training our brains according to our own judgments. As a result of our social environments, many people have been controlling our brains without us even knowing it. Ultimately, we fail to become the masters of our brains; our environment plays this role instead. We were unable to choose information when we were young and just continued to accept it as it was given to us. We grew up in this process, through preschool, elementary school and so on, up to the present. As a result, our brains are not our own; they belong to our social environment. We must take a moment to determine whether the many bits of information in our brains serve to promote our own growth or exist for the sake of our society and country. Don’t we have the right to choose information? Will we have to accept certain information ourselves? We have the right to choose. And we must have the power to make judgments if we are to use that right.

An Ilchi Lee’s Message
Each cell in our bodies is a cable carrying the information
and energy of the universe.
When we open our minds and cells,
we can use the information of the cosmos in plenty.
When our minds contract, our cells wither.
When the fullness of our hearts is conveyed to all of our cells, we feel genuine happiness and peace.
When a cell comes alive, only then is its love transmitted to its neighbors.
That love does not end in love between people.
It grows into a love shared with all of nature, a love shared with the universe.
When connected with the center of the cosmos,
we are in the middle of this universe.
The world of the center is an eternal world.
Our true nature is the center of the universe.
When we lose the center, we lose our health, become selfish and feel like victims.
When we lean to one side, our senses become tense and we lose tranquillity.
The center is the place able to embrace all things.
Reason and concepts are not the way to reach the center.
We get there by opening all of the energy points of our bodies.
The first step begins in opening wide our hearts before the cosmos and all creation.

Have you read “Power vs. Force.” I got it at the Dahn Yoga center and I learned a lot about the Levels of consciousness. Its fascinating. I realized that every moment are consciousness changes and fluctuates. Its not that we can stay at on all the time. I have to humble myself about that. Dahn yoga has taught me that if I’m humble that is my real power. Otherwise I’m forcing my opinions on others.

| The Laughing Brain Trick |
| From a translation of Ilchi Lee’s book Know Your Brain, Know Happiness
One method for tricking the brain is laughter training. It’s not laughing because we have something to laugh about. This training is just about letting out bursts of laughter. Anyone can laugh when they have something to laugh about. But that isn’t making active use of the brain. Laughing even when we have no reason to laugh, that is a way to trick and make use of the brain. It reacts the same whether we laugh because something is funny or just laugh. If we just laugh, we’ll find that we feel better, our health improves, and things genuinely worth laughing about come our way |
I tried this. I was so upset. But after laughing; “What was I so upset about again?”

Make Your Weakness the Foothold
Ilchi Lee’s Inspiration from Wisdom of the Chun Bu Kyung
Do not wear a hat made out of your weakness press down upon your head. Let your insecurities become the foothold upon which you can jump higher for the growth.
Ilchi Lee is right. I need to embrace my faults and weaknesses. That is the best.
