At the Osaka international conference room in Japan, the 2nd International Brain Education - Brain Wave Vibration Seminar took place on November 9, 2008. In the seminar, two very important research results, Brain Wave Vibration and Serotonin and The psychological Effects of Brain Wave Vibration were presented. These results will play a crucial role in spreading Brain Wave Vibration to the world.

Five hundred and fifty people filled the conference room to hear about these new results. In his opening speech, Ilchi Lee emphasized that Brain Wave Vibration is important for rediscovering our humanity and resolving the problems all humans face.
Arita Hideo who presented the correlation between Bran Wave Vibration and Serotonin, is a professor who teaches integrated physiology at the Medical school of Toho University.

He is a world renowned authority in Serotonin research. Serotonin is a chemical messenger in your brain that is also called a "happiness nerve cell". Serotonin controls adrenalin and dopamine. The more serotonin is secreted, the happier and the more peaceful a person becomes.

In his/her experiemtn, Arita have people do BWV training three times for 15 minutes. Here is the summary of his results.



(Left graph: Blood flow with BWV - Red graph shows how much increased)
(Right graph: Brain Wave - Yellow one is alph wave2)

 

1. When one does BWV, more Serotonin is secreted.
(Before training: 186 → after training: 210 → One hour after training: 200)

2. When one does BWV, the alpha wave 2 is increased; this awakens the cerebrum and creates a peaceful state. It is the same kind of brain wave measured when someone sits in meditation.

3. BWV increases brain blood flow, especially in the prefrontal cortex. This indicates more activity in the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for high-level tasks such as decision-making and social interactions.

4. BWV reduces tension, uneasiness, and fatigue from a level of 6 to 0.

5. BWV increases vitality from a level of 15 to 20. (this is the highest level among experiments on various methods.)

6. BWV trains serotonergic nerve cells. When trained daily, the serotonin nerve pathways can change their structure.

The prefrontal lobe that professor Arita emphasized, dominates most of the frontal lobe area and controls creativity, memory, and the power of self-restraint, which are unique to humans. The prefrontal lobe is referred to as "the brain of the brain," "the control center of the brain" and "the 3rd brain". Pointing to the In Dang acupressure point, Professor Arita said that BWV increases blood flow to the prefrontal lobe. this shows that BWV activates the brain and upper Dahn Jon.
After the experiment, professor Arita was so impressed that he said it was a miraculous result. He added "If serotonin is secreted this much in only 15 minutes, no matter how much this method costs, it is worthwhile." One needs to train repeatedly for Serotonin to keep being secreted.

Komiya Noburu, Ph.D. presented his experiment. He researched the psychological change of 66~74 new Dahn Yoga members from January to June. This research involved eight items and positive results came out for all of the eight items.

Members who do BWV:

1. Have higher self-respect.
2. Become less nervous about interpersonal relationships.
3. Become less obsessive about perfection.
4. Are less nervous about failure.
5. Have a higher sense of satisfaction.
6. Feel more passionate.
7. Feel less lonely.
8. Feel they became much healthier.

BWV's improvement of the quality of life is proved with this psychological data.
