Harnessing the Power of Brain Sensation

Understanding Brain Sensation

The concept of "feeling your brain" often arises in discussions at Dahn Centers, particularly during Brain Respiration training sessions. Despite the brain's role in processing sensory information, it lacks receptors to feel itself directly. This paradox raises the question: how can we achieve the sensation of "feeling" our brain?

The Composition of the Human Body

Our body is an intricate system composed of matter, energy, and information:

• Matter circulates through blood vessels.
• Information travels via the nervous system.
• Energy moves through meridians, similar to the vascular and nervous systems, directing energy to our organs.

Brain Education: A Path to Enhanced Mental Function

Brain Education, spearheaded by Ilchi Lee, is a cutting-edge approach being advanced by the Korean Institution for Brain Science (KIBS) and the Ilchi Center for Applied Neuroscience (ICAN). This method leverages the brain's capabilities for increased productivity, creativity, and tranquility.

The Role of Concentration and Awareness

Although the flow of energy within our bodies is typically imperceptible, focusing intently on the present can make this energy perceptible. This focused awareness allows individuals to "feel" their brain. The sensitivity to this feeling varies among individuals but can be developed through practice and concentration.

Sensing Energy Through Physical Contact

The most effective technique to "feel your brain" involves using your hands and scalp, areas rich in sensitive energy points linked to the brain's various lobes:

• Baek-hoe (top of the head) correlates with the parietal lobe, influencing the sense of touch.
• Ah-mun (back of the head) connects to the occipital lobe, affecting vision.
• Tae-yang (temples) relates to the temporal lobe, which handles hearing and memory.
• In-dang (center of the forehead) associates with the frontal lobe, responsible for reasoning and emotion.

The Importance of Positive Mental Input

An essential aspect of "feeling your brain" is the vigilant management of the information that enters your mind. By preventing negative data from dominating your thoughts, you empower yourself to make positive and impactful decisions in various situations.

Key Takeaways for Brain Sensation

1. Understand the flow of energy: Recognize how energy moves through your body and how it relates to your mental and physical health.
2. Develop focused awareness: Cultivate sensitivity to your brain's energy through concentration and mindfulness practices.
3. Utilize physical touch points: Engage with specific energy centers on your scalp to enhance your connection to your brain's functions.
4. Guard against negative influences: Actively manage the quality of information that impacts your brain to maintain mental well-being.

By embracing these practices, you can unlock a new dimension of self-awareness and control, leading to a more fulfilled and balanced life. For further reading on Brain Education and its benefits, visit the Korean Institution for Brain Science and the Ilchi Center for Applied Neuroscience.
