Here is an article about the Young Earth Human Ambassadors for Peace group which is traveling in Korea right now. Atlanta’s own Master Polina is among the group of eight. Read below to see what she’s up to…

Young Ambassadors Bring Peace Around the World

A group of eight Americans in their twenties are currently on a six-month tour around South Korea and Japan as part of a demonstration team called the Young Earth Human Ambassadors for Peace (YEHAP). Already into their second month, they arrived in Korea on March 4, 2008. The team’s purpose is a cross-cultural exchange between the United States and Korea. It is a way for these young individuals to share their passion for world peace and self-development through Ilchi Lee’s teachings and training methods. During the tour they are giving performances in the traditional ki-gong form ChunBuShingGong and the Phoenix Dance (the official dance of the Phoenix Project). At each performance they share their experiences, especially of Brain Wave Vibration training, and their message of peace. Some of these performances are part of Ilchi Lee’s Brain Wave Vibration lecture tour. Others are given at universities, Dahn Yoga centers, Body & Brain Clubs, government offices, and in front of media professionals. As part of their adventures they have visited special locations in South Korea including its first national treasure, a historic gate that burned down recently, and Sungsanilchooleumb (Sunshine) Mountain on Jeju Island. Fun excursions are also part of their experience, like riding motor scooters around the coastline of U-Do island, as well as seeing the sights and singing karaoke in Seoul. In addition to performing and lecturing, the team has engaged in civil services such as helping to clean an oil spill on a beach in Taean. Their home base is the Kookakwon, or School for Traditional Korean Study. From the staff at Kookakwon, and wherever they go on their tour, they learn about Korean history and culture, as well as Dahn history and culture. They even visited a Dahn Yoga center on Jeju Island that first opened twenty-three years ago. Some of the challenges they face are daunting, such as performing in front of thousands of people and striving to inspire their hearts. Some of them are more mundane, like trying exotic foods such as raw squid and puffer fish, or sleeping on mats on the floor in the Kookakwon—although they sleep in beds in hotels when they travel, at the Kookakwon everyone follows this traditional Asian custom. Throughout their experience they have received training and personal care. Beginning with pre-training in the United States at the Sedona Mago Retreat Center from February 26, 2008 to March 3, 2008, the YEHAP members have practiced their performances, working and living together as a team, deepening themselves inside and out, giving lectures and speaking in front of an audience. They are always developing their body, mind, and spirit, and learning to speak and act from their heart. They train daily in Dahn Yoga and DahnMuDo. To help them endure their rigorous daily schedule, they receive special healing experiences, including a visit to a Korean spa, and doing an intestinal cleanse. For everyday aches and pains, when they need to they can visit a Dahn Master who is an acupuncturist. You can see photos of Aaron, Polina, Brandon, Ana, Danielle, Afrika, Ashley, and Alex’s adventures on their blog http://yehap.blogspot.com and read their personal perspectives through their individual blogs (linked from the main blog). The attitude they demonstrate on their blogs reflect the message they are working to deliver—that of hope, an open mind, personal growth, gratitude for all of life’s experiences, and peace inside and out.

Today we had open DahnMuDo classes at the Sandy Springs center. It was so great to see people of all ages and physical conditions enjoying DahnMuDo. It is truly a martial art that brings people together instead of promoting combat. I hope everyone can make the DahnMuDo workshop this weekend!

From Ilchi Lee (Excerpted from Principles of Brain Management)

You have probably been told at some time in your life to count your blessings. But have you considered that everything in your life is a blessing? Think of a difficult period in your life that has passed or a giant obstacle you have overcome. Consider how that event was a blessing to you.

From Principles of Brain Management by Ilchi Lee.

Are there conditions in you life that your don’t like but that never seem to change no matter how hard you try to make them change? Quit trying to make them change. Instead, see how you can change yourself in relation to the problem. Yes, there are some truly intolerable situations that are genuinely beyond repair. In this worst-case scenario, you can resolve within yourself to leave the situation entirely. But most human problems are not so absolute. More than likely, even small changes that come from within you will completely transform your situation. They can change the way you communicate with others and help you reformulate your methods of coping with problems.
