Ilchi Lee on music

Ilchi Lee says in his new book, Brain Wave Vibration, that in reality, when you respond to a piece of music, nothing actually changes in the world around you. Do you respond to a happy tune with a smile because that song somehow fixed all your problems? Of course not. Your life condition remains the same, with or without the song. But something did change - something within your brain - that allowed your perspective on life to change as well.

Dancing with Energy

Did you know that Ilchi Lee is a musician? He has not received training in the usual way, but Ilchi Lee often plays instruments during my lectures, including flutes, ocarinas, gongs, chimes, and other sorts of folk instruments.

As he plays, Ilchi Lee does not follow any written music, just what comes naturally to me through the flow of energy. He says “During the experience, I am transported, and I hope the audience along with me, into the movement of the music itself. Even if I did know how to read music, I would not use it during the lectures. If I did have a piece of music sitting in front of me, part of my awareness would be on the printed page, not in the actual pure vibration of each individual note as it is played.” Ilchi Lee continues, the point of these demonstrations is to lose oneself in the music, letting go of all thought and judgment.
