In Dahn Yoga there is a phrase, Myung-hyun, which refers to an energetic phenomenon that occurs as the body changes. Myung-hyun literally means “the intersection of light and dark,” and it reflects the fact that negative energy will be expelled as fresh, new energy comes into the body. Some people experience this transformation in the form of body aches as if they have a cold or fatigue and heaviness in the body. However, it can take man forms, both physical and psychological. Mvung-hvun occurs when the once-blocked ki flow is restored, which can be uncomfortable. It is actually a good sign and should not discourage you from further practice. In fact, the more you practice, the quicker the symptoms will subside. It is a sign that your energetic condition is improving. The symptoms should be mild and temporary, so seek a doctor’s advice it you have any serious or long-lasting symptoms.
PRECAUTIONS FOR PRACTICE DRAIN WAVE VIBRATION is so SIMPLE that it can be done by anyone of any age in just about any condition.

Flexibility in the body is an obvious requirement for health. If we cannot move well, we do not feel well. Without flexibility, we lack energy and motivation.
The same can be said of the brain. To function well, it must be flexible, moving from one task to another with ease. Unfortunately, the brain can succumb to limiting habits very easily. Even small children tend to favor that which is “easy,” and they avoid things that are “hard.” This tendency will often prevent a child from discovering his or her true potential.
For example, a child may decide at a very young age, “I can’t sing.” To some degree this may be true. Perhaps his or her genetic makeup simply does not include the traits required for genuine musical talent. Maybe he or she is completely tone deaf. But does that mean he or she cannot improve and achieve some level of musical proficiency? Probably not. The child may never be an opera star, or even a suitable member of the local choir, but he or she very likely can gain some musical competence. By deciding not to attempt singing, the child has unconsciously denied the brain the opportunity to develop the complex synaptic connections involved in musicianship.

They are based on the system of energy pathways used by acupuncturists to promote health and to treat diseases. Theoretically, if an energy pathway related to a particular organ is completely open, it will ensure total health in that organ. These exercises help open energy pathways related to the specific organs.

Instruct children to place their hands on the orgar that you call out. Once they are proficient, place your hand in a place otner than what you named. For example, call out “liver” and then place your hard on the kidneys. See how fast they can find the correct organ.
Now make it harder by doing it in groups. Tap one organ three times, and then call out another. Place your hand on the wrong spot on the body when you call out the last item. Call out, for example, “Liver, liver, liver, stomach” but place your hand on your heart. See if they can follow your words, not your movements.
These postures stimulate energy and blood circulation to the various major organs of the body. They are based on the system of energy pathways used by acupuncturists to promote health and to treat diseases. Theoretically, if an energy pathway related to a particular organ is completely open, it will ensure total health in that organ. These exercises help open energy pathways related to the specific organs.

Tao Fellowship’s Sedona Mago Retreat Center – Pure Air and Sacred Land
Tao Fellowship
In its attainment of green results at Sedona Mago Retreat Center, its parent, Tao Fellowship, a nonprofit foundation, simply starts with its mission “Love for the Earth and Love for Humanity.” Then Tao Fellowship sets policies and take actions, from investment to daily practices, to create the ideal ecotourist retreat center.
In two particular areas, air and land, Tao Fellowship’s Mago Retreat stands out with approaches that have been recognized as pro-humanity and pro-earth.
This is how the Mago Retreat has been keeping the air pure, for better heath:
Tao Fellowship established a single 120-space central parking lot near the main gate to encourage guests to walk and with less driving meaning less pollution.
The educational and housekeeping departments use Tao Fellowship’s four electrical cars, and that keeps air quality high.
They provide a van service for guests who arrive from the Phoenix Airport by commercial shuttle, are dropped off at the Mago Information House, Highway 89A and Bill Gray Road, and brought to the Retreat Center.
Naturally purifying the air at the Mago Retreat are 2,000 Juniper trees from 10 years ago, and 1,272 trees and 2,040 plants put in the ground since then.
Here is what Tao Fellowship has been doing and planning to keep the land sacred:
Buildings are constructed by Tao Fellowship to harmonize, in scale and façade, with the natural landscape.
Tao Fellowship installed 163 solar pathway lights, and 138 reduced-output bulbs (converted to 20 from 60 watts), with conversion to all solar-powered lights planned.
The old Casita Guest Rooms at the Mago Retreat were designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright student, into the hillside for esthetic and temperature reasons; constructed in the late 1980s; some have solar-powered water heaters, with more installations planned.
As for the new Casita Guest Rooms, they have cross ventilation; constructed in 2006; conversion to all solar-powered water heaters is planned.
Mago Hall, second largest meeting room with a 200-seat capacity, is a stressed membrane structure, built by Sprung Instant Structures, having a heated floor, and excellent insulation and ventilation.
Tao Fellowship uses much around Mago Retreat’s thousands of trees and bushes, which as been produced on-site from leftover wood from construction projects.

Last time I wrote about a quote on life from Ilchi Lee. What shall we use the life given to me for? What will we have to use the energy we have for? They are questions which we should ask ourselves all the time. What is life? What is energy?
Like Ilchi Lee said, if we think we own the life we have then that’s where all selfishness and victim consciousness begin. After all, I came into existence not because I asked for. In some way I don’t know, I find myself living on this earth. I didn’t pay a tax for the opportunity of living here. I did not buy my life paying money. My parents did not let me know why I live and what the purpose of my life is.
We didn’t earn the life, but we are given the life for free. We don’t own the life we have, but life lives through me. Life demonstrates its joyfulness, happiness and love through me. Again, this line “The selfishness and obsessions within us begin with the thought that this life is mine,” really touches my heart.
My body is not me, but mine. My emotions are not me but mine.

Direct excerpts of Ilchi Lee from his book Brain Wave Vibraion:
If the color and shape of objects can have so much influence on us, imagine how much influence we can have on each other. I am sure you have experienced that when someone is in a bad mood, that mood tends to rub off on you. By the same token, someone’s smile can completely turn your day around. Imagine what a difference we could make if we really tried to put this to full use. Enough people producing positive brain waves could change the world, don’t you think?
A change in collective human consciousness essentially requires an invisible and inaudible communication between brains. As you learn to orient your brain toward positive information, the whole of humanity will be lifted up as well. That may seem overwhelming at first, but it requires only that you first change your own brain to work in a way that is most healthy for your own body and the Earth.
According to Ilchi Lee, he views one’s brain stem as a marvelous antenna that can send and receive messages to and from the world around you. This medium of communication is called Chun-ji-ki-un, or cosmic energy. Because you are connected to all other living beings through this cosmic energy, you are an integral player in creating a better, more sustainable way of life on this planet.

Ilchi Lee says in his book Brain Wave Vibration:
In many ways, our senses fool us into thinking that various people and objects in the world are separate from each other. Now physics tells us that there are no distinct boundaries between anything or anyone.
In a very practical way, you can see how vibrations can influence us. You have certainly experienced walking into a room that feels heavy and negative. Sometimes this may be because the people in the room have just been arguing or discussing a somber topic. Even if they have stopped talking, or even if they have left the room, you can still feel it. This is the effect of those people’s brain waves on the surrounding atmosphere.
Even inanimate objects can carry vibrations that influence us. Sometimes a room feels negative, not because of some human event but because of the vibration inherent in the objects in the room. You could say that interior decorators and artists are masters of vibration, manipulating the way colors and shapes interact
to affect your brain.
The experience of beauty is the experience of vibrations that resonate with you in a way that opens you up to the world around you. If you have ever experienced the feeling of awe, you have experienced the feeling of expansion that can come through beauty. When this happens, your brain is recognizing the high-level vibrations it craves. This sense of beauty can come in the form of beautiful objects, people, or actions. And the really wonderful truth is this: as you expand your brain’s ability, more and more of the world’s beauty will become apparent to you, until finally the whole beautiful picture of reality is revealed to you.
