Experience
Brain Wave Vibration can be done in a number of different postures, and you can create your own postures as you learn to follow the flow of energy and the needs of your body. Regardless of the posture or method you use, your attitude and intention are important. Set an intention for your practice and then just enjoy the movement and let your thinking mind drift away. You can start with this basic form below and then try the other methods that are described in Ilchi Lee's book, Brain Wave Vibration: Getting Back into the Rhythm of a Happy, Healthy Life, to discover what feels right to you.
Learn how to do Brain Wave Vibration, and practice on your own.
Basic Form: The Head Nod Method
This method is one of the most simple and convenient forms of Brain Wave Vibration. It can be done anytime during the day to refresh your brain, even sitting at a desk while working or studying. You can also try it while lying down before sleeping. The Head Nod Method is designed to deliver vibrations directly to the brain stem for deep relaxation and release of tension. After this exercise, you will be able to focus and retain information more successfully. It will also help you avoid the stiff neck and shoulders that often accompany work and study. Try it for just three minutes in the afternoons when you feel fatigued, and you will feel much more energized.
