About six years ago, I got night polyuria, a condition that causes one to urinate frequently during the night. It is caused by kidney failure. I would have to go to the bathroom at least four, and as many as seven, times per night. Because I could not sleep well at night, I was always tired during the day. I had all sorts of medications. I also suffered from severe back pain caused by the renal failure, and it was difficult for me to go on with my training. I felt like my body was falling asleep and felt coldness throughout my body. When I went to a hospital to get a checkup, they told me that I had six benign tumors. The doctor told me that I had to have the largest ones surgically removed.

After the surgery, someone recommended Brain Wave Vibration to me, so I started the training as a member at a Dahn Yoga Center. The first day, I learned Dahn-jon Clapping (Abdominal Vibration, Brain Wave Vibration, page 142) and practiced Brain Wave Vibration for about twenty minutes. I was a little skeptical at first, but I put my mind on the vibration and practiced hard.

I was very tired on the way back to the temple on the first day. But that night, I didn’t wake up even once all night. Amazingly, I had solved my six years of night polyuria in only one night. I felt completely refreshed and full of energy. I couldn’t believe it.

It is not only my body that has improved through Brain Wave Vibration. I finally gained an answer for the koan that I was trying to understand for so long. I felt like some part of my brain was opening up and connecting with something. I started feeling true joy. My mind became happy, just like that of a child. I am now thinking about how I am going to share this realization and happiness with others.

I practiced Dahn-jon Clapping and Brain Wave Vibration whenever I had time. About a month after I started practicing at the Dahn Yoga Center, I went back to the doctor to have a checkup, and he was truly amazed. He said that all the tumors were gone except for a very small one. As I heard him say this, I thought, “Now I can live.”

Brain Wave Vibration gave me health and a new lease on life. I finally gained an answer for the philosophical puzzle I had been trying to solve for a long time. I finally understand what Buddha meant when he said: “Seek within your body. You cannot gain anything for thousands of years if you look outside your body.”

When my daughter gave me a membership to the Dahn Yoga Studio in Andover for Mother’s Day, I decided to I would try this one last thing. Then I took several classes which is named Brain Wave Vibration. Almost immediately I felt my body change. I could feel energy moving in a way I had never felt before. The next day, I didn’t feel as much pain in my body and it was amazing! I started taking class regularly and also taking Brain Wave Vibration class. The Brain Wave Vibration class helped me change the way I felt in my body and also change the way I felt about my body. With the help of Brain Wave Vibration, I have stopped taking pain medication. I can walk up the stairs to the studio without any help. My life has improved so much! I’m not tired or depressed, I don’t need pain medication to get me through the day, I can sleep at night. My daughter and my family are thrilled with the new me. My doctor said my transformation is a miracle. I told him he’s right, Brain Wave Vibration is a miracle!

My first night working with her I began to massage her hands and arms whispering Chun Ji Ki Un(Cosmic energy in Korean) over and over again. A few hours later I started to do Brain Wave Vibration with her and by morning she opened her eyes!

When I returned to work the following night I was pleased to find out that she continued to have improvements throughout the day and was now able to blink when asked to blink! Although this was a great improvement several doctors agreed that this would be the extent of her improvement and that she would be in a vegetative state for the rest of her life. On the second morning after Brain Wave Vibration and sharing Chun Ji Ki Un with her, she was able to nod her head yes and no to questions asked.

On my third night back to work I was sad to find that she had failed several attempts to wean her off of life support and had slipped back in to her coma. The doctors had discussed the prognosis with the family and a decision was to be made the next day as to withdrawal life support or not. Feeling the deep sense of urgency, love and gratitude, Brain Wave Vibration and Chun Ji Ki Un sharing continued. By 4 am she opened her eyes, wiggled her feet and smiled! By 7 am she was able to lift her head off the pillow, move her legs, lift her arms and smile!

The following night, after our bowing meditation class, I called to see how she was doing. I was pleased to find out that she had been successfully weaned off life support and had just been helped out of bed and into a chair for a cup of tea!

A week later, after returning to work, I was informed that before she was transferred to a rehabilitation facility, she was able to walk at least 50 ft down the hall!

I have improved in so many areas … I am able to lift my arm higher and can hold it up longer. I can almost do some of the exercises I couldn’t do at all (like raising my arm up to my chest, face, or over my head). I have more foot and leg function, i.e., ankle rotation, able to put more weight on them, a little better balance, and a better range of movement. When I go to bed, only right before I go to sleep have I consistently been able to spread and straighten my fingers (yeah), move and bend my thumb back and forth, make a fist, grasp, bend/push/pull fingers in sequence, thrust my hand away from my body and pull it towards my body with no help from the other hand. I have also been able to raise my toes and pull the front of my foot toward me. I have noticed better balance when walking and even just standing. My stomach and abdomen have got tighter and stronger. I noticed more energy, less stress, more relaxation, and feel more at peace.

One last thing (although there’s more) … I smoke about two packs a day and have found myself not wanting to smoke and just not thinking about it (sometimes it even seems icky). I am now smoking less than a pack a day and I had not idea yoga would effect me like that. I didn’t even try to cut down, it just happened naturally and it seems that now, I don’t want to put that awful stuff in my body. 

I would say that it has boosted my self-esteem and confidence. I have definitely gotten more from yoga than expected and the improvements have come about so quickly. I’m so happy and have so much  more hope.

Thank you Maxine for your instruction and helping me so much!
