Listen To Vour Conscience And Become Divine
The fourth by Prof. Ilchi Lee is to listen to vour conscience.

The fourth by Prof. Ilchi Lee is to listen to vour conscience. Although social definitions of right and wrong may change with evolving culture and ideas, our devotion to truth is universal and immutable. Conscience is an expression of our perfection, the divinity within. Because of our conscience, we know that we are wrong when we have done wrong and we seek to right the situation. We instinctively seek to return to a state of balance when we have lost it. Without a conscience, health of body and mind, intellect, and social ability are just tools that have lost their original purpose. Even worse, without a conscience, these tools can be used to kill, rather than to heal as was intended. Conscience is an inner drive toward Truth and an essential desire for completion based on our acknowledgement of the divinity within.
The fifth is to become divine. Divimtv in lite does not refer to some type of super-human ability to see and hear things that normal humans cannot. The spirit is information. Spirit is communicated through energy vibrations. When our brain waves are allowed access to the energy vibrations of the spirit, we are said to be “inspired.” Since all things in the universe are filled with spiritual energy, strictly speaking, every existence is already divine. A person’s level of divinity, therefore, depends on the level of his or her spiritual information. To be divine is to possess a high quality of information.
Although in Dahn Yoga our brain should open to all sorts of information, spirit, messages, and ideas, we have the option to choose which ones to accept or reject depending upon our taste and habits. At the most basic level, it is a matter of the strength of your desire. In a bookstore filled with countless types of books, your choice directly depends on your desire. A divine person is someone who has a strong desire to benefit all of humankind, gathering and generating productive information to that end. Brain Respiration is an educational system of experiential training for the development of New Humans.
BR Tapping
BR Tapping is designed to open up the acupuncture points (the 365 energy points) that are distributed throughout the body. With concentrated light tapping, every cell in your body will come alive, and you will feel the refreshing tingle of breathing through the skin. Furthermore, the movements of BR Tapping are along the meridians (energy [...]

With concentrated light tapping, every cell in your body will come alive, and you will feel the refreshing tingle of breathing through the skin. Furthermore, the movements of BR Tapping are along the meridians (energy pathways). This is the same direction as the flow of Ki life energy, which is stimulated by tapping.
BR Topping Instructions By Ilchi Lee
Form your fingers into stiff claws and lightly tap all around your head with your fingertips.
Stretch out your left arm with your palm facing up. Take your right hand and starting from the left shoulder, rhythmically tap downward with your palm all the way to your left hand.
Then turn your left hand over and with your right hand, tap your way back up to the left shoulder again.

Brain Respiration Calisthenics are a series of carefully chosen movements designed to relax the body and mind in DahnHak by releasing tension in muscles and joints. The pulling and stretching motion of these exercises stimulates the meridian system of the body and facilitates the free flow of energy throughout the body.
With careful and concentrated breath work, you can assist in a dynamic exchange of energy. When exhaling, imagine that you are releasing all accumulated stagnant energy in your body, and when inhaling, imagine that you are breathing in fresh clean cosmic energy. This conscious concentration on the exchange ot energy is what sets Brain Respiration Calisthenics apart from other stretching exercises.
In order to Doctor Ilchi Lee maximize the benefits of Brain Respiration Calisthenics, breathe in before the start of a movement, and pause and hold your breath during the movement itself. Then, breathe out as you release the movement and return to at-ease position. Imagine that you are having a conversation with the part of the body that is being worked on, concentrating fully on the sensation of the moment. Develop a deliberate rhythm and pace for your movements and breathing.
Although there are three hundred different movements in Brain Respiration Calisthenics, we can divide the movements into six basic categories. It is best to choose one exercise from each category and learn it well, rather than to just choose as many exercises as possible.
Intestinal Exercise Instructions
You can do this exercise standing up or lying down. When standing up, assume the same position as the Dahn-jon Clapping position (knees slightly bent, toes turned slightly inward).

You can do this exercise standing up or lying down. When standing up, assume the same position as the Dahn-jon Clapping position (knees slightly bent, toes turned slightly inward). As Ilchi Lee instructs when lying down, lie on your back with your legs shoulder width apart. Form a triangle by touching your thumbs and forefingers together, and place them lightly on the lower Dahn-jon.
When pulling in, pull as if the front wall of your abdomen is to touch your back. Tighten your rectal muscles at the same time.
Then, as if breathing into a balloon, push your lower abdomen out slightly, until you feel outward pressure in your lower Dahn-jon area.
Start with fifty at one time, and work your way up to three hundred as you advance.

Place your feet shoulder width apart. Make loose fists with your hands and place them under your armpits. Straighten your back and release the tension and tightness from your body.
Let your hands drop from their position under your armpits, lightly bouncing your knees as you do so. Release your fists as you drop your hands so that the energy escapes from your fingertips.
Bend your knees and bounce downward as you drop your hands along the sides. Then bring your hands back up under your armpits, making your hands into loose fists again as you bounce back up. Repeat this motion at least fifty times.
When the first set is over, lower your hands and feel the stream of energy being released through your fingers and toes.
All Brain Respiration exercises are more effective when you actually imagine the flow of energy while you engage in the movements.
After you are comfortable with fifty repetitions, increase to one or two hundred.

BR Shaking
According to Professor Ilchi Lee BR Shaking is used to release negative energy from the body. Ki energy can be simplified into positive and negative energy (or, clear vs. unclear energy). Clear energy tends to be dynamic while unclear energy is static, collecting in a certain area. When energy becomes impure (or negative), it tends [...]
According to Professor Ilchi Lee BR Shaking is used to release negative energy from the body. Ki energy can be simplified into positive and negative energy (or, clear vs. unclear energy). Clear energy tends to be dynamic while unclear energy is static, collecting in a certain area. When energy becomes impure (or negative), it tends to jell and block the smooth flow of energy. Imagine a stream filled with impure sediment and mud blocking its flow. Now, imagine that the ground beneath the stream begins to shake, and the water begins to move. The impure sediment and mud loosen and are soon washed away as the water begins to flow freely again. This is the concept behind BR Shaking exercises, which will result in unclear energy flowing out through the tips of your fingers and toes.

Dahn-jon Clapping
As Ilchi Lee instructs Dahn-jon Clapping, as noted above, is a simple but effective method for strengthening the lower Dahn-jon with a rhythmic striking (patting) of the lower abdomen with the palms of both hands. Stimulating the area in this way facilitates the circulation of both blood and energy throughout the body. You will also feel increased warmth in the area, and this exercise will assist in the prompt removal of excess gases and waste from the body. For a beginner with a weak lower Dahn-jon, or for someone having trouble feeling heat in the lower Dahn-jon, this basic exercise will help.
Intestinal Exercise
Intestinal Yoga Studio refers to the rhythmic pulling in and pushing out of the abdominal wall, thereby stimulating the intestines. This exercise will increase flexibility of the intestines and facilitate efficient circulation of both energy and blood. Intestinal Exercise can also be used to improve the condition ot the major internal Spread your feet shoulder width apart and bend your knees slightly. Point your toes slightly inward and feel a slight tightening of the lower abdomen..
I Strike the lower Dahn-jon area with both palms in rhythm, lightly bouncing your knees with each strike.

You may increase the number and force of the strikes with more practice. organs. Although we don’t have any muscles we can use to exercise our internal organs, we can indirectly work on other internal organs by moving our intestines.
If you tighten your rectal muscles during this exercise, you will be able to gather energy and feel warmth much more quickly. However, you should not overdo this exercise in the beginning, as it may result in some discomfort. Start with a few repetitions and work your way up.
Dahn-jon Strengthening Exercises
The Dahn-jon and Dahn Hak (which literally means ‘field of energy’) acts like an energy pump for the body, receiving cosmic energy and releasing this energy to the energy pathways in the body.

The Dahn-jon and Dahn Hak (which literally means ‘field of energy’) acts like an energy pump for the body, receiving cosmic energy and releasing this energy to the energy pathways in the body. The Lower Dahn-jon (located about two inches below the navel), acts as the energy center of the body. Its strength is essential in maintaining the natural flow of energy in the human body. A strong lower Dahn-jon and Su-Seung-Hwa-Gang (water energy up and fire energy down) are two physical prerequisites to beginning Brain Respiration.
According to Dr. Ilchi Lee instructions the lower abdomen, the location ot the lower Dahn-jon, is filled with the small and large intestines, which together hold about one third of the total blood volume of the body at any given time. Therefore, a smooth and unimpeded flow of blood through the intestines is crucial to the circulatory efficiency ot the whole body, including, of course, the brain. However, modern life, with long hours spent sitting, does not promote health of the intestines. This often leads to hardening ot the intestines that can result in chronic constipation. When the intestines regain an optimal supple and flexible condition, the energy and blood pooled in that area will circulate efficiently throughout the whole body, resulting in an increased feeling of lightness and mobility.
There are two basic mechanisms for strengthening the lower Dahn-jon. The first is an exercise called Dahn-jon Clapping, which consists of rhythmic striking of the lower abdomen \vith the hands. The second is an exercise called simply Intestinal Exercise, which consists of pushing out and pulling in the abdominal muscles.

The fourth step, “Brain Re-wiring,” is the step to open a channel of communication to the infinite source of universal energy and thereby awaken hidden capabilities of the brain. This process goes beyond the anatomical brain part of the brain called the neo-cortex, where higher cognitive functions are processed. It goes beyond the limbic system, where emotional and instinctive responses begin, and into the realm of cosmic life rhythm of the universe. The innate creativity of the neo-cortex activates during this process, riding on a current of infinite energy, with the brain acting as a conduit. The result is total integration of the myriad and previously disparate functions of the brain.
The fifth and final step of Brain Respiration, “Brain Mastering,” makes us the true master of our own brain. Becoming the true master of our brain is being able to utilize one hundred percent of the creativity in the newly integrated brain. Since the brain is an organ that feeds and prospers on information, the key to utilizing it to its fullest potential, is to nurture it with a steady diet of good information, information that is fresh, delightful, and joyous - in a word, peaceful. This type of information comprises Vision. A bright and grand Vision will bring the brain alive in the fullest sense of the word. We are charging the brain with the energy of Vision.
In Dahn Yoga a vision that has the power to awaken and move the brain has to be simple and clear enough to be understood not only intellectually, but also in the deepest parts of the body. Such a vision must also be realistic enough to be worth our time and effort, and subject to an exact and accurate analysis of the progress we are making toward the goal. However, it must also be powerful and visionary enough to tug at our deepest desire to achieve something lor the good of our world. Our Vision must be to contribute constructively to Earth peace, for our divinity and our brain are both designed to work this way.
What is Brain Softening And Brain Cleaning

The second step of Brain Respiration is “Brain Softening”, which introduces flexibility into the circuits of the brain that have been established according to repeated patterns of information or movement. Ilchi Lee tells that by increasing flexibility of the brain circuits, this step of Brain Respiration facilitates communication among different parts of the brain and thereby increases operational efficiency.
The third step is “Brain Cleaning”, a clearing process for the brain, in which we clear negative memories and corresponding emotions that clutter the brain. Most experiences are stored in the brain along with*associated emotions. When an experience that is similar to a previous experience occurs, the original emotional energy becomes active, causing us react again in a similar way. Therefore, one experience can affect the way we react to similar experiences for years to come. In this step of Brain Respiration, we clear away the emotional debris of earlier, perhaps traumatic, experiences in order to be free to experience life with infinite possibilities, once again.
