What is Brain Education?

A modern approach to timeless mind-body wisdom.

Brain Education is a comprehensive system of mind-body training for developing the brain’s capacity to create physical, emotional, and mental health. It was created in 1980 in South Korea by meditation teacher and author, Ilchi Lee, and has been practiced by millions around the world since its inception. Brain Education methods involve stretching, breathing, meditations, positive affirmations, and other mind-body exercises that rewire the brain to create an internal environment that fosters health, happiness, and peace.

 THE FIVE STEPS OF BRAIN EDUCATION

Each step builds on the previous one until you master your brain and become the proactive creator of your life.

Research Data

Brain Education-based Meditations Improve Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes

A randomized, nonblinded pilot trial aimed to examine whether Brain Education-based Meditation (BEM) affects the conditions of patients with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes compared with health education classes. Forty-eight patients with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes were assigned either BEM or health education classes in South Korea. Both classes were run during the same period of 8-weeks. After 8 weeks, “LDL cholesterol levels was significantly decreased in the BEM group after the intervention (13.82 mg/dL reduction, P < 0.5), while it was not significantly altered in the control group. The expression of inflammatory genes was significantly reduced after 8 weeks of BEM training. in the item analysis of mental and physical health self-reports, a significant improvement was confirmed as follows: increase in focus, confidence, relaxation, and happiness; decreases in fatigue, anger, and loneliness.”

Brain Wave Vibration Improves Sleep Duration & Efficiency

A study done at the University of London investigated the effects of Brain Wave Vibration (BWV), a Brain Education-based exercise involving rhythmic movements of the head, neck, and body practiced with yoga-style exercises. Thirty-one healthy adults were assessed for mood, sleep, mindfulness, health, and well-being. Participants completed eight to twelve 75-minute classes of BWV over 8-12 weeks. Compared to the control group, “the BWV group had comparatively greater improvements in sleep duration and efficiency and post-trial they had better global sleep and well-being and fewer illness symptoms and better tiredness and energy post-class.”
