Ilchi Lee Dahn Hak Yoga

“Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm - it comes from becoming still - in order to reflect and meditate on our inner wisdom and receive answers. A peaceful heart is one that is free from worry and trouble. It’s becoming quiet so we can look at things quietly so we can more clearly understand them and thus come up with creative solutions. It is learning to live in the present.”

Humankind has collectively dreamed of a peaceful world from time immemorial. Regardless of nationality, creed, ethnicity, or religious affiliation, peace is a concept that is familiar to all of us.  Perhaps this is because it has been our hope for such a long time. Politicians, religious leaders and beauty contestans alike, declare peace to be the most important mission in life. Many people profess a desire for peace and many people work for peace. In the midst of war, national leaders declare that the reason for war is peace, an exercise in logical circumlocution so familiar to us that we no longer see its outrageous, inherent hypocrisy.

The Cold War divided the world into two camps in the latter half of the twentieth century. This was ostensibly about which system would create a more fair and equitable state of peaceful living. However, this only resulted in a constant threat of annihilation. Although the Cold War may be over, the world still suffers war and countless conflicts that continue to inflict deep pain on the psyche of humanity. -Ilchi Lee

“End each day with thoughts of peace.  Begin each day with thoughts of peace.  Continue thinking thoughts of peace throughout your precious day and happiness will be yours.” - unknown

As it turns out, the membrane that surrounds the cell may be
more important than genes in determining your state of health.
The cell membrane senses and responds to the surrounding environment.
In other words, it is the brain of the cell, receiving
and interpreting messages from the body. But who talks to your
cells on behalf of your body, telling them how to act? It is the
same element that talks to your organs—telling your heart to
beat and your lungs to breathe. It is your brain. - Ilchi Lee

The part we have control over is the prefrontal cortex, the
thinking part of the brain. To put it simply, people today think
too much. The thinking brain is constantly sending messages that
keep our bodies in a state of alarm, and they never have ample
time to recover. The trick is to quiet the thinking mind and gain
control over the content it produces so that the brain stem has a
chance to coordinate the equilibrium that it exists to create. - Ilchi Lee

“Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” -Martin Luther King, Jr.

“The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.” -Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

As you begin to practice Brain Wave Vibration, notice the
kinds of stories you have been telling yourself. Think of the manifestations
of stress in your life and try to discover their root.
Maybe they show themselves physically through headaches,
muscle tension, or even disease, or mentally through bad habits
like nail-biting, mood swings, or overeating. Ask yourself what
kind of mental story is connected to these manifestations—stories
about your own insecurities, the shortcomings of other people,
and the inadequacies of the world around you. As Ilchi Lee says many times in his books, When you
can stop telling yourself the same negative stories over and over
again, you will be able to face the challenges of your life with
strength and courage.

“Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can complel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.” -Dwight David Eisenhower

“It is good to realize that if love and peace can prevail on earth, and if we can teach our children to honor nature’s gifts, the joys and beauties of the outdoors will be here forever.” -unknown

You may have been taught to believe that your genes determine
what you will become. This can be especially disempowering
when you hear that you may inherit the diseases of your parents
and grandparents. However, a whole new line of thinking
is emerging from biological science. Now, biologists realize that
genes are not the only players in the intercellular game that decides
your personal health. -Ilchi Lee

“All of us who are concerned for peace and triumph of reason and justice must be keenly aware how small an influence reason and honest good will exert upon events in the political field.” -Albert Einstein
