We learn how to breathe in Dahn yoga and for many people this is no easy task. They breathe shallow and their breathing is very disconnected to their body. Ilchi Lee teaches us how to breathe and thus his teaching and his pioneering mind is a breathe of fresh air.
Last night I had a dream about Ilchi Lee. He sat in a chair and called me forward and gave me some advice. He looked me directly in the eyes and clearly saw inside of me. The words he spoke had no meaning, but the eye contact was very sincere and clear. I follow his lead because he has accomplished things most of us can only dream and imagine…
I’ve been listening to my Ilchi Lee lecture series CD and it struck me that they are lectures that aren’t lectures. I mean I don’t feel like I’m being lectured to. They are deep and playful, filled with music and laughter.
Connect with the sky
opening every cell in your body.
Caressing the sky with your hand
and being one with the energy of stars and the moon,
share the love in your heart.
Seeing the moon and stars in the sky,
I think ‘What do I have to do with the moon?
How am I related with that star?’
We may have no choice but to see the moon, stars and this world
in passers-by’s eyes.
It is just a relationship of seeing each other.
Now by opening our hearts,
the moon and I have become a lot closer.
The meaning of the moon is in me and
the moon has my meaning too.
The relationship between the stars and me,
and the one between me and the stars;
the one between nature, air, and me;
between trees and me; the land and me:
and the relationship between me and the flower in front of me
are now beginning to connect.
–> We are all one in spirit…
Did anyone listen to that lecture cd by Ilchi Lee?
I thought that it was pretty interesting, especially the exercise included in it. It was so easy and effective…but I have to do it again. I wound up becoming so relaxed, I dozed off!
Through seeing that, I need to improve my focus more.
The answer…just ask your brain.
That was an Ilchi Lee post, right?
Either way, if I ask my brain, I can know everything!
Watching the Matrix again (while listening to music. Brain scramble!)
Remember the part where they all celebrate and dance wildly? It reminds me of african dancing actually. I saw a video on traditional african dancing and the dancers really put their whole body and soul into their dance. It was entrancing. Sometimes, I feel that way when I practice Dahn Mu, the energy dance.
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.
I like how Ilchi Lee gives the message to “play well” so in my attempt to play well, I want to write a poem.
On the road,
I saw a toad.
He had brown eyes
Full of suprise
And when I stopped to say hello
He took a leap and landed on my toe.
:0)
Always look on the bright side of life. Although it was probably just a joke to keep the audience laughing, Monty Python may have shown us the genius of the human brain. What if you could be crucified and still be happy and singing. All it takes is the brain power we all have and enjoy.
