Rett Syndrome, stress, headaches

August 8th, 2008 Phil

After having practiced Brain Wave Vibration for a few weeks, I knew it was very helpful. In just those few weeks, I have found that my eyesight improved, I felt less stressed, and I have fewer headaches. These were all great results for me, but as I read the book and learned more, I began to wonder, “Could Brain Wave Vibration help my daughter?”

My daughter is 19 years old and suffers from Rett Sydrome, a genetic disorder that prevents children from developing normally. Although she is technically an adult, she is physically, emotionally, and mentally less developed than a 2-year-old child. She cannot walk, talk in full sentences, or feed or dress herself. She has been in a wheelchair for seven years and must wear diapers. Her behavior, like all Rett kids, is severely autistic; she rarely interacts with or responds to others.

Because she is completely physically disabled, I decided to take matters into my own hands. She can not shake her own body, so I decided to shake it for her. I just place my hands on her body and shake, shake, shake! Also, I pat her body all over with my palms. She absolutely loves it!

After only one month, I have seen incredible changes in my daughter. For one thing, she has begun talking more, and responds to me when I speak to her. She still wears her diapers, but she has begun to signal to me when she needs to use the restroom. And her digestion is better, too, which is a typical problem with Rhett kids.

Physically, she seems to be gaining balance and motor skill every day. She can now sit up by herself in a straight-back chair, and she can even walk with assistance! I would say that her balance has improved 70% in only one short month! At our last check up, the doctor was surprised by the change he saw in her. And best of all, I know she is happier because she smiles much more often than before.

I am so relieved by the healing that Brain Wave Vibration has brought to my daughter. Before, I sometimes felt so hopeless, wondering if I would be changing diapers for the rest of my life. Now, I have a source of hope for myself and for my daughter. And I have found a wonderful way to connect with my daughter, which, as any parent of an autistic child knows, is a great, great gift.

Quick return to relaxation

July 30th, 2008 Phil

I would be happy to share my experience with brain wave vibration. I am able to quickly get to a state of relaxation by doing brain wave vibration. I find that by doing brain wave vibration in conjunction with total body vibration I am able to quickly bring the energy down to my lower body from my head. When I bring my attention to the movement of my head going from left to right and let my natural rhythm take over I can feel the thoughts leaving the front of my brain and the energy moving to my brain stem. It is a quick and simple way to quiet the mind!

High blood pressure lowered

July 30th, 2008 Phil

Brain Wave Vibration has been powerful experience for me. My most common feeling during the time has been a new level of freedom. This freedom that I feel has caused me to smile, without even being aware of it. The stress and any problems that I seem to have, just disappear. I have also felt the emotions of love, peace, and happiness. The Brain Wave Vibration is my favorite time during my Dahn Yoga experience.

I have had high blood pressure for over 40 years. Before Brain Wave Vibration my pressure was about 150/89. This is while being on three different medications to keep my blood pressure down. My new blood pressure readings have been as low as 106/76. This is nothing short of a miracle! I have bought a CD with vibration music, so that I can continue to do this exercise at home, on the days that I can not make it to the Dahn Yoga Center.

83-year-old recovering good health after stroke

July 29th, 2008 Phil

I originally took an interest in the book titled “Brain Wave Vibration” by Ilchi Lee when my father-in-law had a stroke at the age of 83. I was determined to help him to return to a happy, healthy life. Through the lessons that were taught to me in my brain wave vibration class and through information contained in the literature provided at the Dahn Yoga Healing Center in Alexandria, Virginia, I was able to better understand the mechanics of the brain and its relationship to the body.

Bringing the body and the mind back into a healthy balance is an important achievement for all mankind. Imbalances bring forth disease and emotional instability. Proper balance for the mind and the body provide people with health, happiness, and a sense of peace.

I am please to say that my father-in-law has returned to good health. Through my journey with Dahn Yoga, I was able to stimulate a natural healing ability with in myself and a confidence in my path to being a better healer. After reading the book, I have taught myself how to manage stress. As I continue to practice the Brain Wave Vibration exercises, my natural physical vitality is returning and I am beginning to awaken the great creativity that lies within my heart and soul. I am a much happier person. I no longer feel the confusion and sadness that has haunted me in the past. It is a pleasure to see others heal and return to having a good healthy balance in their lives.

Free from constant pain

July 29th, 2008 Phil

Five years ago when I first experienced a Brainwave vibration class I was a person in constant pain. My low back was sore all the time and I had started to have such pain in both knees that I was forced to limp and hold onto furniture to get around. I had physical therapy, which helped the knees. I also had acupuncture which helped with the pain, but pain was always there and probably I was not much fun to be around. When I saw the instructor and the participants begin a vibration practice I thought “Looks easy! You can do pretty much what you want.” and I got started. At the first shake I must say had some pain. Gradually my condition began to improve. Now when practice, I have fun! I feel so much better now! I can move my body so much better and although I still have moments when my back or knees hurt, it is not controlling my life like it used to. I do almost anything I want now. Actually because of this vibration class I do things I never thought I would do!

I would like to add that toe tapping and intestine exercises have also been a big help to me. I use toe tapping to help bring my energy down so I can sleep. Intestine Exercises also bring the energy down as I learned about one year ago after my husband was struck with a sudden and very serious illness. When he was getting out of the hospital, I began to feel sick. The MD said it was post traumatic stress syndrome. It felt like I was having a heart attack. When I calmed down enough, I remembered I have tools to help at times like those. I began to do intestine exercises and almost immediately my head started to clear, I lost the dizziness, and I was able to carry on and take care of my husband. I would recommend Brainwave Vibration to everyone.

I started to have hope

July 23rd, 2008 Phil

Throughout my college years, I never doubted that being a teacher was the perfect job for me. I was confident that I would be a great teacher when I went to work as a student teacher. When I finally graduated and went to the first school to work, I was full of pride, believing I was the perfect teacher. I thought that I had studied hard for the past four years, and I had all the necessary elements to be a good teacher.

But I was soon driven to despair when I met students in real life. I had so much to teach them, but the students were not paying attention to me. I was having a hard time getting up in the morning because of fatigue accumulated during the previous day. “I am having such a hard time. Why is this happening?” I asked myself. This thought later changed to: “I don’t think I am qualified to be a teacher. I should consider getting a different kind of job.”

During that time, one of the more experienced teachers recommended that I get training to teach Brain Education to children. When I was first introduced to Brain Wave Vibration, I thought, “What’s the point of just shaking the head?” In the beginning, I only focused on the head and neck during Brain Wave Vibration, but eventually the motion spread out through my entire body. Then the next day, I was able to wake up in the morning by myself without the alarm. Now I manage my mind and body through Brain Wave Vibration.

What I realized after the sixty hours of Brain Education training is that there was nothing at all wrong with the students. I was the problem. I was not a happy person, and I was looking around at the students and the world with that unhappy attitude.

I became much happier after the training, and I wanted to share that happiness with others. My students looked so loving when I met them again, and I could communicate well with my students for the rest of the semester. Then I finally started to have hope that I might one day be able to become a truly good teacher to my students.

One day, a student came to me and said, “I used to think that I couldn’t do anything before I met you. But now, I think I can do anything. Thank you so much, teacher!”

As I heard this, I cried out loud. I was so happy and so grateful.

Calmed Nerves Before Exam

July 23rd, 2008 Phil

I was preparing for my graduate school entrance exam. It required memorizing a few pages of conversation written in Chinese. I was nervous but, making my brain lighter with Brain Wave Vibration, I managed to stay calm and clear. Needless to say, I passed the exam.

Negative feelings disappered

July 23rd, 2008 Phil

I am a cop. My workplace is the police station, where all sorts of conflicts between people happen. The environment is always discordant. When I get tired, my facial expression becomes just like my workplace. And then I feel even worse when I spit out words of frustration with a stern face.

The most stressful moments at my work are when I am misunderstood by people while I am trying to calm them down and make peace. Sometimes they insult me without any reason, which I take personally. Most of the time, I just let it go. But there are moments when I cannot take it any more. On days like that, I cannot rest well, even after I get off work. All the negativity and the hostile words linger in my head. I guess it is an occupational hazard.

I thought I would become seriously ill if I kept going on like that. Even before I learned Brain Wave Vibration, I started shaking my head left and right after I interrogated people. I think my neck and shoulders were trying to revive themselves of all that stress and stiffness. One day, a friend of mine introduced me to Brain Wave Vibration at a Dahn Yoga Center, and I could easily follow all the motions, as they were similar to the ones I used to do.

I didn’t notice a big difference at the beginning of the exercise, but I started feeling my head becoming clearer after about twenty minutes. As I rode on the rhythm of my body, all those negative feelings that were giving me a hard time completely disappeared. After I experienced this, whenever I felt unpleasant I started shaking the negativity off immediately by doing Brain Wave Vibration. I decided to delete my negative feelings right away.

In the beginning, it was not easy to do. But after I practiced several times, I could easily control my feelings by shaking my neck and body, even if just a little bit. Recently, I began to actively imagine what I wanted myself to be during Brain Wave Vibration. I visualize all the negativity and hostility from people being eliminated, which helps my body become even more refreshed and energized.

I still may feel upset at an accident scene, but I immediately practice Brain Wave Vibration on the way back in the patrol car. My method is to rub my hands together and stroke my head with my hands, and then delete those unpleasant feelings by shaking my head. When my fellow cops have a hard time thinking of difficult memories, I shout at them and laugh, “Delete it!”
