You are a being designed to perceive vibration. All of your senses are made to collect different kinds of information from the world around you through vibration. When you look at something, your eyes are receiving and processing the waves of light as they appear in the form of shape and color. When you hear, your ears funnel in the vibraions of sound, which your brain translates into meaningful interpretations of reality. When certain oscillations and combinations of sound are especially pleasing, you call it music; when the sound of words are moving, you call it poetry. When you touch something, you perceive the dance of molecules beneath your fingertips - some moving quick and hot, others slow and cold. When you run your fingers over the surface of an object, vibrations inform the peripheral nerves just below the surface of the skin, helping you make judgments about shape, size and texture. Even when you smell and taste, the experience is dependent on the vibratory interplay of molecules interacting with your own molecular makeup.

Brain Wave Vibration book is written by Ilchi Lee, and you can practice it in Dahn Yoga centers.

What we often do not realize, however, says Ilchi Lee, the creator of Brain Wave Vibration training, is that we are vibration-producing creatures as well. Of course we can sing and talk with our voices, which are ways of making sound vibrations. But there is another kind of vibration that cannot be so easily perceived with the five senses. It is an especially powerful form of vibration called thought. While we may not often perceive thought as being real in the same way that an object is real, it is in fact the most real and powerful thing in the universe.

Every achievement of humankind - from the prehistoric paintings on cave walls to rockets blasting into outer space - all began with a thought conceived in someone’s brain. We communicate these thoughts to the world by means of vibraion - through the words we speak, the ways we touch, and the actions we create. When these thoughts find accord with the thoughts of others, truly amazing things happen and even entire planets can be transformed - sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

There is one key player in all this vibratory communication. It is what is responsible for both receiving and producing the vibrations that shape the quality and content of our lives. It is the human brain.

Fortunately, says Ilchi Lee on his new book Brain Wave Vibration, people can learn to control their brain wave states for the improvement of mental and physical health. Eugene Peniston and Paul Kulkosky have shown that biofeedback, a method by which subjects are trained to control various biological functions, can be used to help people with alcoholism overcome their addiction. Through biofeedback, according to Ilchi Lee, these people were able to increase lower frequency alpha and theta brain waves, which are associated wtih a peaceful, meditative state of mind, while controlling higher frequency beta waves. This ability resulted in less depression and fewer cravings for alcohol among the subjects.

One of Ilchi Lee’s students, in fact, is a researcher in the area of biofeedback, specializing in measuring brain activity through EEF machines. He was very skeptical about the claimed benefits of Brain Wave Vibration created by Ilchi Lee, like many other scientists might be. But he gave it a try anyway because he was suffering from a number of ailments and wanted to find a quick stress-relief exercise that could fit his schedule. After a few weeks of practice, his focus improved, his headaches disappeared, and his shoulder pain subsided. He is now thoroughly convinced that brain waves can be influenced through movement of the body.
