Ilchi Lee Educating Brain, Dahn Yoga

From a translation of Ilchi Lee’s book The Power of the Brain

You cannot move your child’s soul with questions of survival, with concerns for what they will eat and what they will wear. Our souls, although invisible to the eye, tremble in pure simplicity before some lofty, noble purpose. If moved in this way, a child may even focus wholeheartedly on his studies, not even remembering to eat. If you cannot think of a good answer his questions, try asking a question of your own: “Hmm… Why study? You’ve come into this world because you have something to do, because the world really needs you. Together, let’s try to find out what that is.”

If we all can give this good information to all kids…

and we become like kids…

This world can become more harmonized…..

Let’s come back to ourselves….

isn’t it great when you see a whole family doing a Dahn Yoga class all together?
i just saw a family (mom, dad, & 2 kids) in one class. of course the oldest son was nagging he didn’t want to be there, but by the end they really were a healing family. i wish we could see this more often.

If highschoolers valued their brains more, even from very young (THANKYOU BRAIN EDUCATION!!!!!) i bet they wouldn’t try drugs. To know how important your brain is and to know that it creates your perspective and emotions and your life… noone would want to tarnish that. I think… anyways, i’m sure we will get there through the Brain Respiration and BE that Ilchi Lee has helped pioneer!

This is not so on-topic for brain education, unless you consider the brain rewiring necessary to be able to juggle like this! Please watch this video — it is amazing.

What happens when you die? Kids ask this of their parents, disciples ask this of their religious leaders, and I ask it of you. What is your personal belief about what happens when you die? Let’s discuss…  :)

A recent conversation with the mother of a 2nd grader gave me new insight on life and human development.

Her daughter had her first day of 2nd grade last week. On the way to school in the car, she started feeling a lot of tension and stress starting to ball up inside her young daughter. Fortunately, this very prudent mother (a fellow Dahn Yoga practitioner) was able to pull out a creative storymaking game that easily drew out all the thoughts that produced the anxiety and stress, so that her daughter could identify, accept and release them before stepping out of the car.

In hearing this story, the lesson that we learned together is this: most of us “adults” keep sighing for the “good ol’ days” as children when we used to be so carefree and stress-free. But what we forget is that, within the limits of our worlds during childhood, we still undergo the same stress from different environmental factors with which we are not familiar, uncomfortable, etc. And it is from these early times we begin to develop our habits of dealing with and managing stress — SO early!

In a world with ever-increasing amounts of stress, I think a new approach of behavioral education for children, beyond just the book knowledge is absolutely essential.

Now that I’m on a baby kick, isn’t it so cute to watch little babies and really young kids? They have the best actions and expressions, especially when they watch you. Their eyes get so big and they can just seemingly see right through you.  Its amazing.

Every baby I see, I smile at so naturally. I just want to play with them and hug them!

 PS–Doesn’t Ilchi Lee have baby cheeks? ;D You just want to squeeze ‘em.

Everyone says that babies are so pure, and I believe it.

 Just the other day, for no reason, my baby cousin (who is very young), just crawled up to me as I was lying down on my back. She tapped my cheeks with her tiny hands, blew a kiss with her tiny rosebud lips, then gave me a drooly smooch on my lips, tapped my cheeks again with her hands, and went on her merry way, giggling and shaking her tush as she went.

It was so cute. Drooly, but cute.

An through that, I realized, children have no boundaries and no judgements. They just love unconditionally until negating information is given to them. We should all be that pure again.

Children can express their emotions through Art. Then they can live healthier lives and understand their emotions more.

I have hope for the future, just like Ilchi Lee :0).
