As much as likely, avoid coming into close contact with impure persons, especially if they cough or sneeze.

more Ilchi Prof says a person with a cold is extremely infectious: he or she fills the air with fine particles of saliva or mucous which transport the virus microbe. Even if the person is careful to wipe his nose with tissue or a handkerchief, the microbes will be transported to his hands.
And studies have shown that these viruses are broadcasted through hand contact. So if you have to shake hands with someone who has a cold, you would better wash soon after!

What can you do if you do catch a cold?

It is useless to take antibiotics: they have no effect on viruses. However, there are certain substances found in alcohol that help decongest sinuses, that is why a good hot toddy can work wonders. But take care of your liver: toddy is just as good with a little rum as with a lot. You don’t have to get drunk to get better. You don’t even have to drink it – just sniff some strong alcohol like cognac or brandy and breathe in the vapors.

From a translation of Ilchi Lee’s book The Power of the Brain

Parents are the sponsors of their child’s life story, not its protagonists. Most answers come out of the head of the child asking the question. When we have dreams through which our souls are able to inspire us, we can live lives that inspire others, as well. Such is truly the best kind of life.

As a youngster, Ilchi Lee was completely vexed by this predicament, but he had no way to solve it or to understand it. He could not concentrate, and his moods fluctuated wildly. He remembers a conversation with his high school roommate, a straight-A student who Lee’s parents hoped would have a good influence on him.

The model student always sat at his desk, as soon as he got home from school. One day, Ilchi Lee sat there staring blankly at the back of his head as he studied.

“What are you doing?” Lee asked.

“Can’t you see? I’m studying,” Lee’s roommate replied.

“Why are you studying?” Lee asked.

“A quiz is coming up. I have to get good grades to get into a good college.”

“Why do you want to go to college?”

“To be successful.”

“What are you going to do after becoming successful?”

“Live happily.”

“What is happiness?”

Finally, he turned around, perplexed by Lee’s question. Being the A student he was, he sincerely wanted to answer the question. He could not find an answer; he just started at the ceiling.

“What is the purpose of our life?” Ilchi Lee asked.

“Do you know?” he returned.

“I don’t. That’s why I am asking.”

“Let’s stop. There are so many other questions to solve.”

“But everything hangs on the answer to this. It is the first thing to solve.”

Not too much later, the A student requested to live in another dorm with someone else. It was no wonder, given Ilchi Lee’s obsessive behavior and his brooding nature. Most of his peers avoided him, his grades suffered, and he had no sense of direction. At the time, it seemed as if these questions that occupied his mind were haunting him like a dark specter, but now he have come to see them as a gift that allowed me to really get to the underlying nature of life, in spite of the pain involved.

Where does happiness come from?   Many people might answer saying once you accomplish something or once you get something.  I learned something important once from Dr. Ilchi Lee true happiness comes from inside of our brain.  I don’t really need anything to make me happy I can just choose to be happy and I will be.  That is the best freedom in my opinoin.

I have been studying the difference between my will and my wishes.  I think to myself I wish I had a stronger core, but until my wish turns into my will actualizing the wish, it remains just that a wish.  But when my will transforms a wish into a command I can be assured that I will get my wish.

The law of the energy resonance states that vibrations at the same frequency attract one another. That’s why similar-natured people flock together. One’s nature changes depending on choices and actions. The clearer one’s nature becomes, the more habits change. When people spend a long time together, their natures become similar because as energy resonates, information and moods interact. This is why the kind of group one belongs to is considered an important aspect of our lives.

Let’s watch in and out then check what level of energy are out there. Start to change what I can do. Rather than to be affected, but to give effects of my positive energy. It can start from a simple action such as cleaning a place I stay together. It can be a simple habit. Recently Ilchi lee is recommending a ‘21 days Miracle method’ to help people to create a good habit. Let’s make good habits step by step. We can make it ^_^

Have you ever thought that everyone you have ever had contact with during your life has loved you?  It is true!  Even those whom you have had a run in with.  Those folks have loved you the most because they are willing to show you where you need some healing.  Where you need to grow.

Today I had so many errands to run and I noticed so many people in their emotions.  I found myself watching and understanding what Ilchi Lee says in the healing society book.  He says that We all have three instinctive needs that ache to be fulfilled.  The need for recognition, need for safety and the need for control.  I watched couples respond to each other from this need and children asking for their need to be seen.  It was such a good experience and helped me to see my own needs come out.  I felt sad today yet i played happy so I wouldn’t make others around me uncomfortable.  I love being human!

Repressing and suppresing your emotions weakens the life functions carried out by your brain stem.  This is also a detrimental effect on your natural healing ability, and explains why over 85% of modern people suffer from stress related problems.

Ilchi Lee says this about the brain stem.  It seems like supressing and repressing our emotions come from habits we picked up through our families and society.  Big girls don’t cry, don’t be a tattle tale, children are to be seen not heard.  These sayings have their  purpose to try to create harmony in society yet it seems that it really causes damage in the body.

It was one dark night

Suddenly pluged into my head

one brilliant star

and whispered to my ears

The glittering stars in the sky are seen

because your eyes are seeing them

the rain beating against the windows is heard

not that you are hearing them

but that your ears are hearing them

I thought it was I who looked at the stars

and listened to the rain beating against the window

But now with my eyes and ears open

I realize I am the stars and rain

Oh, the brilliant light shines once more

and I realize I am neither the starlight nor the

raindrops

Now that I understand all

and am awakened to my True Nature

words are too shabby to convey this

Outside the window in the sky

still glittering are the stars

and endlessly falling down is rain.
