All About Ilchi Lee

Ilchi Lee likes to demonstrate this for people because it also demonstrates how to live in harmony with the flow of life, letting each note come as it will, without resistance or judgment. To me the difference between great musicians and an ordinary ones lies not in how they play the music but in how they play with the music. Likewise, we must learn to play with the reality of our lives by living completely in the flow and rhythm of each moment, rather than trying to play it according to the preconceptions and restrictions of the past.

Many years ago, Ilchi Lee developed a training method called Dahnmu, which is meant to open people completely to this sort of universal rhythm. The word dahn refers to the basic, vital energy of life, and mu means “dance”; thus it could be called “energy dance” in English. In this practice, says Ilchi Lee, which is a form of Brain Wave Vibration, you are encouraged to let go of all limitations and simply follow the energy of the moment, letting the flow of energy move your body as it will.

Serendipitously, the word mu can also translate as “nothingness.” The state of mu, or nothingness, is achieved during Brain Wave Vibration when the mind is truly empty of thought, and you are able to simply follow the rhythms of life without hesitation. According to Ilchi Lee, at this point, the boundaries of your body cease to exist, and you may experience a profound sense of oneness - first with the rhythms of your own body and ultimately with the universal rhythms of all life as your sense of separation fades away.
