Brain Supermodels

Even grown-ups need role models to look up to. They are yet another way we can help focus our mind toward what we want to become. If you find that you need to develop some specific character trait, choose some iconic person who you think exemplifies that trait, and use him or her as a model. Your brain will respond well to this because the human brain contains many thousand mirror cells, which allow you to learn easily just by watching others yoga practice. So if you need more courage, you might focus on Amelia Earhart. Or, if you want to exhibit more selflessness toward others, learn all about Mother Teresa.
You might read Ilchi Lee biography or watch a documentary about the person. Let your hero’s life become a metaphor by which you live your own life, and your own greatness will be ignited within your brain.
Recognition of Innate Human Spirituality Is Basic Premise Of Spiritual Health
Spiritual health is necessary for complete health. Doctor Ilchi Lee can judge the state of our spiritual health by the following three criteria.

Spiritual health is necessary for complete health. Doctor Ilchi Lee can judge the state of our spiritual health by the following three criteria. First, do you recognize inner spirituality, or divinity, within yourself? Second, do you have a desire to work for the betterment for all? Third, do you have enough awareness to control and process the information in your brain? In other words, do you have a Power Brain?
Recognition of innate human spirituality is the most basic premise of spiritual health. That your body is not you but yours, and your mind is not you but yours… that you are more than the sum of mind and body, is the first step toward this recognition. Without recognizing the soul, there can be no spiritual growth. Desire to improve the world is the second aspect of spiritual health. This is natural once you have opened your eyes to your soul. Your soul inherently wants to realize its basic essence of peace and harmony. Finally, to be able to control the flow of information into your brain means having the ability to consciously refuse information that you do not want, and accept and utilize what you do want. It also means that you are able to away information that is impeding your soul’s work. This gives you power to spiritually heal yourself and others.
When all of these elements come together, we realize that total health is a state in which we recognize the true purpose of life. Through awakening spiritually, we develop awareness to utilize one hundred percent of our physical and mental abilities and energy to realize our goals. Brain Respiration is truly a comprehensive system of health in which the practitioner, starting with the physical health (health), goes on to learn to use his mind in an expansive and bright fashion (happiness), subsequently realizing his own spirituality and purpose in life (enlightenment), then devotes himself to realizing his purpose in society, thereby bringing benefit to all (completion).

Cup your hands above your head, without touching, and feel the flow of the energy emanating from your brain.
According to Dr. Ilchi Lee instructions as you feel the energy from your brain, spread your fingers apart and bring them in again to expand the feeling of the energy. Bring your hands closer and push them farther out from your head as you feel the force of the energy manifest as magnetic attraction and repulsion.
Let the movement of your hands, breath, and brain synchronize into one rhythm.
Let your body inflate and deflate like a large balloon with the rhythm of the breath.
Release the tension in your shoulders and rest your hands on your knees.
Concentrate on your lower Dahn-jon and breathe in and out deeply three times.

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 [...]
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.

The Steps of Brain Respiration
Brain Respiration can be divided into five steps; Brain Sensitizing, Brain Softening, Brain Cleaning, Brain Re-wiring, and Brain Mastering. In relation to anatomy and functioning of the brain, these five steps begin with the body and work toward activation of every layer of the brain.

Brain Respiration can be divided into five steps; Brain Sensitizing, Brain Softening, Brain Cleaning, Brain Re-wiring, and Brain Mastering. In relation to anatomy and functioning of the brain, these five steps begin with the body and work toward activation of every layer of the brain. During this process, the brain attunes to its ability to tap into the infinite life energy of the universe. From a spiritual point of view in Yoga Practices, Brain Respiration is a systematic way to realize enlightenment through everyday activity and behavior. From an educational point of view, Brain Respiration is a way to facilitate a life filled with emotional richness, harmonious relationships, life-giving energy, bright awareness, and a peaceful purpose in life.
The first step of Brain Respiration, “Brain Sensitizing,” begins with reawakening the senses of the body, thereby shaking up the established patterns of the brain. Unlike other parts of our body, our brain is protected on all sides by a thick skull, thwarting any attempt, fortunately, to touch it from the outside. However, our brain connects to all parts of our body, controlling functions and registering complaints. Various parts of the body have corresponding areas in the brain that are in charge of control and feedback. The only way to “touch” and activate the brain is indirectly by stimulating different parts of the body. When our senses awaken and our concentration level increases, we are able to feel the subtle flow of energy that permeates our body. We can also stimulate the brain by directing the flow of this energy.

What Is Brain Respiration

On a spiritual plane, Brain Respiration means nurturing the brain by feeding it good information. What is good information then? What are the standards by which we separate good information from bad information? Peace and Earth are ultimate yardsticks for determining whether a piece of information is good or not.
When faced with the need to determine the value of a certain piece of information, ask yourself, not whether this information will benefit me, my family, my company, my community, my country, or my religion, but whether this information is beneficial to my “Earth.” Do not question whether the information will increase you personal success, ask whether it will help the process of peace. Earth and Peace are the keys to unlocking untapped potential of the brain. Our brain will perform at its highest level, in all three planes of existence, when we consciously recognize that peace and Earth are the two highest values in life.
As Dr. Ilchi Lee writes in his book about Dahnhak, a brain awakened to its full potential, with a healthy flow of energy and the ability to generate good information is a Power Brain. A Power Brain is a brain of peace, and Brain Respiration is a way to develop Power Brains. As breathing through your lungs is good for your bodily health, Brain Respiration is good for your soul. Although our brain is the most elaborate and complex organ in our body, Brain Respiration is very simple and easy. The essence of Brain Respiration is learning to supply your brain with bright, positive energy and with good information on which to feed.
