Ilchi Lee’s Inspiration from Wisdom of the Chun Bu Kyung

/Sam/  Three

Life is suffering.  Everything changes.  I don’t exist.  When we open our eyes to the fact that our body and emotions are not who we are, that’s when we see through the suffering and transience of life to discover the living divinity that moves within us.

I want to fully become the watcher!

/Yook/  Six

Upon hearing that the divinity exists within me, the shock of deep recognition ripped away the layers off my soul and the jolt of inspiration set the heart racing, signaling the reincarnation of the divinity within. Only a person whose heart burns with passion, may ignite the flame of divinity.

Let’s set the world aflame with passion!

Ilchi Lee’s Inspiration from Wisdom of the Chun Bu Kyung

/Wang/ Go, Leave

Life is a journey to those who have a goal in which to pour their lives, but nothing more than wandering to those who don’t know where they should go.

wandering is such a waste of time.

/Yong/  Use/Usage, Apply, Application

We can’t know how life began or where. But we have the right and responsibility to choose how we will use that life, and for what.

There is such power in knowing this!

/Il/    One, Origin, Han

Never forget that you have the power to choose anything. Recover that power. Then nothing in this world can torment you. All you have to do is live according to your choices. You are what you choose.

I choose to be a bright example to others!

We can follow the great Providence that created all things in the universe and, at the same time, become the masters of our own creation, choosing everything in life, its joys and sorrows, happiness and solitude, and living with it. In absolute surrender are hidden the secrets of absolute freedom and absolute creation.

I struggle so much with surrender. My ego constantly wants to be in control.

/Rae/ Come, Arrive

Life and death are the coming and going of energy. Our bodies are homes rented from the cosmos, where our souls and energy reside for a short time and then are gone. When life is done, the body returns to the Earth; the soul, to Heaven.

we are indeed children of heaven and earth!

Be patient in allowing your creativity to blossom. The “aha!” moment of inspiration comes when knowledge, experience, and ideas coalesce; it is the moment the brain connects them. It is crucial to know that until the light bulb in the brain turns on, there must be constant planning, a determined will, and a whole lot of trial and error.

I too often try to force my creativity. It’s when my brain is most relaxed that the creativity flows.

From Ilchi Lee’s upcoming book Principles of Brain Management

Aristotle said, “We are what we repeatedly do.” In other words, we are our habits. In the case of good habits, this is not a problem. These things continually work in our favor, helping us live better, more fulfilling lives. But when it comes to bad habits, this is not such a great thing. These things can take the form of addictive emotional patterns that disrupt our relationships or poor nutritional habits that undermine our physical health. If you look at your habits very closely, you will see that most of the problems in your life are related to some habit or another.

I want to awaken my brain so I can be more than my habits.

To really learn how to use your brain well, consider pursuing some kind of physical training in depth. Through rigorous training of this sort, you will learn to overcome limitations in your body, and your brain will gain the upper hand over the rest of your body. As an added bonus, you will gain increased confidence in many areas of your life. Any sort of athletic training will help you achieve this, but some sorts of training are especially effective at uniting the mind and body. Many ancient Asian practices, including yoga, tai chi, ki gong, and many martial arts, specifically seek to train the mind in relationship to the body. The word yoga in fact means “to unify,” and the goal is to bring together the mind and body as one. Numerous studies have confirmed the significant effect these practices can have on your brain to facilitate deep relaxation, improve coordination, and develop better focus.

Dahn yoga and Dahnmudo have definitely improved my brain!
