Ilchi Lee Educating Brain, Dahn Yoga

Without alarms or prompting. I would get up and climb up a hill behind where I lived and train and meditate for hours, without regard to time. I would practice Dahn Jon breathing in order to feel and control the flow of Ki energy throughout my body and mind.

What is Dahn Jon breathing? It is a system of exercise and breathing techniques designed to sensitize you to the flow of Ki to eventually allow you to control and utilize the energy for various purposes. Dahn Jon is a point in your lower belly, about two inches from your navel that acts as an energy-gathering place. Basically, it is a portal to the world of energy. Knowledge of it goes back into the mist of Asian civilization. It is this Dahn Jon breathing Technique that I have modernized and organized into specific steps and made available for everyone to try. I started my first Dahn Center in 1985, and now we have over three hundred centers in Korea and over fifty in the United States. Dahn Jon breathing should be your first conscious step into the realm of Ki energy.

I practiced and trained until I achieved a certain level in Ki training. In the throes of Ki energy, I was able to pull up the roots of trees, experience every single bone in my body disintegrate and reintegrate again, and felt my whole body shake violently as the Ki energy coursed through my body.

Our brain emits four basic types of waves: beta, alpha, theta, and delta. When we are experiencing anger or hate, the frequency of our brain waves increases. Beta wave occurs during a state of emotional turmoil or excitement, leading to quick fatigue and listlessness. In a meditative state, the brain wave reaches the alpha stage, resembling sleep. Ilchi Lee suggests however, just because you sit cross-legged and close your eye doesn’t mean that you are meditating. In fact, you might be bombarded with useless thoughts. The reason that it is very difficult for your awareness to sink lower into the inner layers of your brain is that the route is not open. There are guards at the gates leading into each inner layer of the brain.

You need a secret password to enter. If there weren’t any password, then everyone would have freely made the trip and be enlightened, holding conversations with the Creator Within at any time. Unfortunately, that is not so. Luckily, however, through Brain Respiration you can silence your neocortex, satisfy your cerebral limbic system, and steal into the brain stem to step into the place that goes beyond space and time into Creation itself. You will meet your Creator Within. You will meet Yuln’yo.

Let us take a trip together.

Ilchi Lee expert dahnhak founder writes this in the book of Healing Society.

The purpose of Brain Respiration is to gently move our conscious awareness from our neocortex, where it is most of the time, through the cerebral limbic system and into the brain stem. Ultimately, we seek to control the power of the brain stem to meet with the Creator Within and raise our spiritual awareness.

To control the brain stem, the neocortex needs to be at rest. The neocortex is in a state of rest when we are asleep. However, our awareness is also asleep at the same time, making it impossible for us to consciously control the brain system With a conscious awareness, is it possible for our neocortex to be asleep and for our awareness be awake? Such a state is called “meditation.”

The need for safety or stability is the most basic of them all. People feel rage and anger when something or someone threatens their safety, whether it be physical safety, economic stability, or social stature. If they are helpless against the threats, they fall into fear and despair.

Ilchi Lee writes people also have a need to be acknowledged or recognized for their worth. If you are recognized, you feel good. If you are not, you don’t. You’d do almost anything to be recognized. In one-way or another, your current situation is the sum of all the things that you have done to satisfy your needs for safety and recognition. You have smiled in order to maintain your sense of safety and stability, you have striven to be diligent to be recognized, and you have tried to be responsible in order to maintain a certain status in life.

Finally, people have a need to dominate or control. When someone agrees and follows your lead, he or she is likable. When someone disagrees with you. he or she is not so likable.

Those who are branded losers in this competition are doomed to feel fear and despair. In midst of this despair, they lose touch with their True Self, their inherent goodness, and fall into the trap of hate and revenge at what they perceive as those things and people that have made them feel this way. Then they strike out, causing more hate and destruction. This is why seemingly normal kids take out guns and shoot their classmates. This is why there will be an ever-increasing number of rapes, murders, and other hate crimes in the world. Here and there you might see a temporary drop in crime statistics, but it will only be temporary because it is our whole system that is making people into criminals. Acting out their hatred at the same time they search for a modicum of self-worth even in despair, people will try mind-altering drugs, hurt others, and seek to destroy.

Why do people lash out in such ways when they feel like losers? Because their basic needs are not being met. We all have three instinctive needs that ache to be fulfilled: need for safety, need for recognition, and need for control. All human relationships in our current society are impacted by these three driving needs. Read articles by Ilchi Lee.

What are the questions that one needs to ask. Why was I born, where do I come from, and where am I going? The same questions that humankind has been asking for millennia. Like an itch that won’t go away. If you know the answers to these questions, then you are enlightened.

And how do you find the answers? Just get in touch with your True Self. All that remains is that you work at it until you make that connection with who you truly are. This will require courage, dedication, and discipline. You will sweat, you will feel a wrenching pain, and you will hurt. But once you make the journey, you will realize that all the pain was unnecessary, because everything that was causing you this pain was an illusion. Made-up.
