I have been attending Brain Wave Vibration training for more than two months on Saturdays and Sundays. At the beginning it took me a lot of effort to follow the rhythm of the music and to keep a balance; gradually my movements become spontaneous shortly after we started vibration.

Dahn Yoga is an organization with women as a large majority of its members, instructors, managers and executives and takes violence against women seriously, especially sexual assault. When I do not control my body anymore, I feel that I enter the stream of energy, and the conventional sense of “me” disappears. There is just pure energy, and I am that energy. That is my original face. But it is not just a spiritual experience. In everyday life I feel that old pattern of thought, of responding to different situations, is gradually changing, and I have more compassion and more courage to meet life’s challenges.

Through Brain Wave Vibration, I am able to connect deep inside to my true nature. The first time I did it, I could truly see myself. I was able to step back and see both fear and power deep inside me. I could see the infinite power and potential I held. As a result, I became happier and developed a happier outlook on life.

This exercise, also known as Dahn-mu, will increase your energy awareness while also releasing your natural inner grace and expressiveness. It is also very healing, as your body will take postures that will help realign the body and improve circulation. You should develop some ability in the previous exercise, the Energy Meditation, before attempting this. In the third step of Brain Wave Vibration, you may find that your body naturally moves into this Energy Dance.
Begin by follow the directions for the Energy Meditation on page 150.

Focusing on the palms, allow your hands to follow the flow of energy freely. Allow your body to be enveloped by the energy and move accordingly, free from inhibition and restriction.

Jang-saeng Walking

Walking is a natural way to bring rhythmic vibrations to your body, which perhaps is why it is so healthful and refreshing. With every step, you send a wave of energy through your body. Jang-saeng Walking capitalizes on this by adjusting the posture of the body for ideal energy flow.

Now allow about 2—4 inches of space between your hands and concentrate fully on the space. Imagine that your shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands are floating in a vacuum, weightless.

Pull your hands apart and push them closer together again as you maintain your concentration. You may feel a tingling sensation or a magnetic attraction pulling your hands toward each other or pushing them apart.

When the sensation becomes more real, pull your hands farther apart or push them closer together. The sensation will expand and become stronger.

Breathe in and out, slowly and deeply, 3 times. Rub your hands together briskly until they are warm, and then gently sweep your palms over your face, neck, and chest.

At first, the feeling might be subtle. Do your best to clear your mind and focus on that sensation. If you find it difficult to feel the sensation, try clapping your hands several times before increasing sensitivity. Keep practicing this, and soon you will find that the sensation grows stronger. Sit comfortably on the floor or on a chair, and straighten your back.

Place your hands on your knees with your palms facing up and close your eves. Relax your body, especially your neck and shoulders. Inhale deeply; let go of any remaining tension while exhaling. (Soft meditative music in the background may be helpful.) Raise your hands slowly to chest level, with your palms facing each other but not touching. First concentrate on any sensation you may feel between
your palms.

This song sums up all we need to transform our lives and the world and it encompasses the highest purpose of Brain Wave Vibration. I hope that Brain Wave Vibration can give you the distance you need to see your own life, and all the problems that come with human existence, from a distance even if only for a few moments at a time. As you step away from your constant thinking and continual worries, I think you will be able to see the blessings that lie in everything. From that place you will be¬gin to see the beautiful perfection of it all and will come closer to the perfection that already lies within you.

This is a beautiful and hopeful time to be alive. We are at a turning point, and your contribution to the world is needed more than ever. All of your struggles, all the struggles of your ancestors, all the struggles of all life have led to this moment right now. You are the culmination of life’s great earning; you are the hope of the world.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory. Ralph Waldo Emerson, philosopher IN owes YOU HAS ARRIVED at the most important part of Brain Wave Vibration the actual practice of the method. The principles behind it are important, and I hope you will keep them in mind for continued inspiration and guidance. But they are all of no use unless you put these principles into deliberate, intentional practice.

The mind-set you keep during this practice is very important. Please approach it with an emphatic sense of intention. Plan on using this as a tool by which you will transform yourself, not just as a physical fitness routine. Believe fully that a perfected version of you waits just below the surface of your existence, and use this method as a way to shake off all the false layers of identification that have been standing in your way.

As you practice, hold in your mind a picture of the person you want to be. Visualize the picture in full color with every minuscule detail in place.

He cites one study in which kids with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were found to focus better on tasks when in natural settings instead of urban surroundings.

If you find yourself unable to concentrate, perhaps you will agree that not only children can fall victim to nature-deficit disorder. I would contend that part of the reason adults are increasingly stricken with anxiety, depression, and other forms of psychological distress is because they are simply not grounded.

I mean grounded here in the most literal sense: people are disconnected from the very Earth that sustains their lives. It is evident in the ways we produce our food, choose to work, and interact with one another. As we disconnect from nature, we also seem to disconnect from each other; our relationships sour and our mental health is compromised. And, as we continue to ignore the important role of the Earth in our lives, we allow the planet to slip ever closer to environmental ruin, and we unintentionally invite the physical illnesses that accompany this cancer, respiratory disorders, endocrine disruption, and so forth.

Humanity, as they see it, is just a microcosm of the Earth. We have been given the gift of musical, verbal, and artistic expression not for our own glory but as a means of giving expression to the Earth and all creation (Kalweit).

I would like to propose that direct, positive experience of and interaction with nature is essential to your health. Since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution, humankind has become increasingly disconnected from the Earth that sustains us, and the effect has been regrettable. In the most obvious ways, human health is currently threatened by environmental problems, such as pollution and ozone depletion. But I would also like to suggest that the effects of this go deeper, that disconnection from nature is essentially a spiritual problem that subsequently leads to problems of the body and mind as well.

Author Richard Louv, in his book Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, suggests that many of the mental and emotional problems that have become increasingly prevalent in children are linked to their decreasing amount of direct contact with nature.

No matter how different you look or how strange your culture may seem to me, we both rely completely on this Earth. As seen from space, the Earth has no real borders, except where the planet ends and space begins. We must rally around the Earth soon, or we risk losing her along with our own survival. We need to realize that she, the Earth, is our one common bond and the source of our only true identity.

We speak sometimes of being Americans or Koreans or Brazilians or Africans, but in reality, all we really are, are Earth humans. Nationalistic identities and borders are nothing more than illusions of separation. Imagine how this simple shift in consciousness could transform our environmental and political outlook for the better.

The Hopi, the native people who inhabit land near my home in Sedona, Arizona, apply a system of energetic physiology to the Earth that closely parallels the physiology of the human being. According to their tradition, the Earth turns on an axis, which functions like the human backbone. Along this backbone can be found a series of energy centers, analogous to the chakras in the human body, which resonate a primal musical tone in harmony with all creation.

If people act selfishly, it is only because they have been momentarily blinded by their current situation. Give up your need to judge or cast blame on others, regardless of how rotten their behavior may seem. The most effective action you can take is to act on your own true nature, and soon others will do the same when they are ready. Go beyond the world of thought, put your true nature into action, and the rest of the world will follow.

You need only one thing in the world. It is not money. It is not fame. It is not even food. All you need in the world is hope. As long as you have that, you have everything. This is your birthright that you should never lose. If you keep hope, all your other necessities will come soon enough.

You Are the Earth

I suggest that we all seek reconnection to the Earth as a source of hope in the world. First of all, the Earth is our one common value, and it can be the means of reuniting humanity.
