The Power of Manifestation

What is the power of manifestation?

It is Tao power.

It is the strength to smile brightly and radiantly one more time when it’s not possible to smile,

to forgive one more time when it’s not possible to forgive,

and to love one more time when it’s not possible to love.

It’s the strength to be brave one more time when you’re absolutely terrified.

The people who have that kind of power are masters of Tao. Only they are truly able to create.

Why Make a Solar Body?

Having what I call a Solar Body means independence and freedom from self-doubt. To make your body solar, you have to trust your energy’s ability to be charged by the energy of the sun and believe in your body’s capacity to heal itself.

A person who has a Solar Body isn’t dragged along by the rat race, always trying to get more. Accessing the limitless energy of the sun, they feel abundant and secure in their self-worth. From this sense of security, they grow as they naturally develop their passions.

Are you interested in being someone like this? It’s actually your nature. With practice, you can go back to it. It takes meditating regularly to keep your body temperature at its healthiest level. More than that, it involves acting out the inspiration you get from it right away to maintain your passion.

I call someone with a Solar Body who acts for the greater good a Solar Human. The very presence of a Solar Human makes the world brighter; they themselves are bright in body, mind, and spirit.

I did an interview for my film, CHANGE: The Brain and Divinity, about the concepts of Solar Body and Solar Human. Here is a clip from it for you to enjoy.

What do you think about the idea of Solar Humans?

Five-Minute Solar Meditation

The sun is always there, giving the earth energy. Without it, life on earth would not be possible. Human beings need the sun for our health, happiness, and peace.

You have the natural capacity to tap into the sun’s energy and fill your energy body with it at anytime. There’s enough for everyone; we don’t have to compete for it. In the same way, we don’t have to compete for or feel lack of health, happiness, and peace in our lives.

The Solar Body Method helps you utilize the energy of the sun. Today, I will show you how to receive solar energy directly. I encourage you to practice this meditation outdoors in the sunlight.

First, stand or sit and close your eyes. Lift both hands above your head and hold your palms toward the sun. Touch your thumbs together and your index fingers together to form a triangle. The most sensitive part of our bodies is our hands. With your palms facing the sun, receive solar energy through your palms. You receive energy simply by concentrating on your palms. Feel the heat of the sun there. You can also imagine the sun’s energy coming into you through your palms.

With your imagination, move the solar energy that came in through your hands to your arms, shoulders, and all the way to your chest. As you visualize that warmth spreading from your chest, past your stomach, and all the way down into your the energy center in your lower abdomen, your Dahnjon, charge your Dahnjon with solar energy. The Dahnjon is an energy charging station.

Now, bring your hands down by your chest, keeping your palms facing the sun. As time passes, you’ll feel your palms becoming hotter and you’ll feel yourself becoming connected with the energy of the sun.

Slowly shake your head left and right, and observe the colors of the light in front of your eyes changing. Depending on the angle, you’ll see gold, you’ll see orange, and you may also see red.

Now, slowly bring your chin down, then bring it back up again, repeatedly nodding your head. As you repeat this movement, keep bringing the solar energy that came in through your face down into your Dahnjon and charge it.

Do you feel your body growing warmer? It is changing to the temperature of passion.

There’s no need to practice this training for a long period of time. Five to ten minutes will suffice.

Try this meditation and let me know how you felt during and after doing it. Did you feel as warm and bright as the sun?

Heat for Natural Health

Meditation and yoga expert Ilchi Lee talks about how important temperature is for the health of our body and society. The key is the sun, which provides heat without discrimination or cost. If you raise the temperature of your body with the help of the heat of the sun, your body’s natural healing ability will be enhanced, and you’ll have a passion in your heart for caring for others.

Keep Cutting the Grass

As I cut grass at the new meditation center we’re creating in New Zealand, I am reminded to clear out the fear, laziness, and weakness inside of me.

It’s only natural for emotions and your ego to arise at all times. If you don’t prune them immediately, however, the way you cut grass or dead branches, then like grass, they grow abundantly. If they become too overgrown, they can take over your consciousness to the point where you can’t handle them. In such a state, not only have you lost control of your emotions, but, like a jealous lover, you may lose control of your actions.

Cutting things away and cleaning things up must be done boldly and decisively, without missing the right timing.

Use the warmth of the sun or meditative exercise to raise your body temperature in one minute. Increase your temperature one degree Celsius and burn up your ego. Then keep generating heat by always taking action without delay.

Isn’t it simple? Do it now.

After you’ve tidied things up and thrown out what you don’t need, it will look clean inside you. Your goals will become clearer. And you’ll want to run toward them.

It’s not hard to do. When you raise your temperature and keep moving, before you know it, you’ll find that your inner environment has changed the way that you want. And your outer environment will have too.

For Natural Health, Go Solar

In today’s modern world, we depend a lot on systems and experts to manage our health. Handing our health over to someone else makes us forget that our body has its own natural healing mechanisms that are at work all of the time. They can be working well, or they can be suppressed by chronic stress.

When our natural healing mechanisms are working at their best, and we are truly healthy in body, mind, and spirit, we have what I call a Solar Body. Like the sun, a Solar Body is filled with pure, bright, freely flowing and everlasting energy. It naturally produces so much energy that we shine brightly with health, vitality, a sunny attitude, sparkling eyes, radiant skin, and a glowing spirit. A person with a Solar Body is confident in their ability to heal their body, and their life, by themselves through natural processes. Their body stays strong, their mind stays strong, and their spirit stays strong. With confidence in their body and their life, they develop confidence in their ability to help others make their bodies into Solar Bodies.

How do you develop a Solar Body? By heating up your temperature with simple exercises and the power of your mind. First, release stress from your body and train your mind to increase its ability to focus and expand its awareness every day. I suggest doing thirty minutes of physical, meditative exercises that release tension and fill your body with energy such as Plate Balancing Exercise, Brain Wave Vibration, and Toe Tapping. These repetitive, rhythmic exercises lull your busy mind into a meditative state in which it is clear and focused.

In this state of meditative awareness, you can sense your body’s temperature. The act of being mindful of your body’s temperature, and all of its sensations, is enough to regulate and balance your temperature. Within the narrow normal range of human body temperature, having it at the higher end of the range is actually more beneficial for your health—your natural healing mechanisms work at their best. Being aware of your body temperature raises it to that higher end and balances it so that your extremities and abdomen stay warm while your head stays cool, which is the ideal. A warm body that heals itself through the awareness of the mind is a Solar Body.

The Temperature of Passion

The key to our body’s natural healing and the most essential factor in health, happiness, and peace is temperature. The one degree between 36.5°C and 37.5°C (97.7°F to 99.5°F ) marks the temperature of health, happiness, and peace. That’s why I refer to that temperature range as “one degree of enlightenment.”

Depending on this one degree, a huge change takes place in the natural healing power of our body. If your temperature goes down, your natural healing ability declines, significantly increasing your susceptibility to illness and disease.

On the other hand, the body and mind are most overflowing with vitality precisely at a temperature of 37.5°C. I also refer to this as the temperature of passion.

To maintain the temperature of passion, it’s essential for your heart to burn with hope. When people have hope, they become motivated and develop confidence. They are ready for action, and they solve problems.

Someone who maintains the temperature of passion and shines with hope as bright as the sun, I call a Solar Body. Solar Bodies with the humanity to share their hope and passion with others are Solar Humans. They are the ones who will make this world a brighter place.

Find Eternal Love When Your Heart Joins with the Great Spirit

Now is a material age. The desire for money, prestige, and power dominates any desire for the evolution of the spirit. Because it is centered almost exclusively on matter, our society cannot help but experience conflict, disruption, and fighting, no matter how good the institutions we create are. Why is that? Matter has limitations. There is only one planet, and there is only one position of president for each country. People fight to take it, so how could there be harmony?

The material world has limits in this way, but the spiritual world is limitless. Harmony is realized, and there no are battles in the enlightened, spiritual world. In the structure of the material world, however, struggles and divisions are inevitable. The world of the spirit is the only way to escape from the limitations of matter.

Every person has access to this spiritual world and its limitlessness, bliss, and peace because we are all made of spirit. The great spirit that existed before time emerges into the material world, taking countless forms time and again. It is active for a while, and then returns to its source.

However, falling down into the material world, spirit cannot always rise again. When people forget their spirit, and don’t promote and express that spirit, it becomes stuck in the limitations of the material world. Evolving our consciousness so that we think and act in alignment with spirit allows us to be a part of the spiritual world even while we are on the Earth. The harmony and happiness of the spiritual world can emerge, heralding a new spiritual age.

The only way to align ourselves with the great spirit so it can be free rise from the material world and return to the source once more is to have great love.

What kind of love is that? It is not the love of ordinary human relationships. Because ordinary personal relationships involve emotion, because they are insecure, they are not eternal. The one great spirit, however, is eternal life. So, if you’re going to love, you might as well love with eternal life; it’s truly love worth the investment. Love between human beings is unlikely to be worth the investment, and it always results in turning back from the beloved with an empty heart. To find great love, you need to merge the soul in your heart with the great spirit.

Where is the great spirit? It’s in your own brain, not in some great place or cathedral or temple or shrine. Foolish people wander in search of it, without knowing that they have it so near. They wander, crying out, “Love, love . . .”

The great spirit has come down into your brain to save the soul in your heart. The soul cannot find stability without encountering the spirit. Otherwise, your heart will always feel empty and frustrated, like a bottomless container that can never be filled. The soul cannot be satisfied with the worldly things in which you get lost. It must now connect to the spirit that has come from the source of the cosmos to become one with that spirit, becoming whole. Through merging with each person’s soul, the spirit can evolve and rise once more.

But it is so hard to meet the great spirit, who is nearby. What’s truly unfortunate is that, although great love has come down into us and dwells in our head, most people have not known it. They have been unable to feel the numinous spirit in their head because they had no interest in it. Instead, their minds were enthralled by the different things around them. It is only by stilling our mind through meditation that we can experience the bright light of spirit. The moment you encounter it, you experience a state of discontinuity in which space and time stop completely. It is a state of incredible joy and ecstasy that is inexpressible and cannot be felt in the material world.
