Letter for new students 2

I uploaded a new article about 'Swaying meditation' at the top of 'Practice Guide'.
You can find it bellow this article.
Please try to this meditation in the every morning and evenig as a preparation to enter subbody school. It will help you to get the subbody method easier in the class.

Now Spring has come in Himalaya India, the temparature is arround 20 degree in fine day. But sometimes it will go back to Winter. Because here is at the 1800 meters hight from sea level.

During you will travel to Himalaya India. your body must change to adorenalin mode, it stops your immune system. Your body will become easier to catch cold or some thing. This is natural response of our body against foregn condition of land and culture.
India is so different from your country in every kinds of expierience..
Please try to keep calming down your condition by the swaying meditation (below) as much as possible. It will guard your body against the nessesary changing of your body.

Hope to have a good trip and keep your fine condition through the travel in India.

See you soon!

Lee

P.S. Please bring a swim wear. A tiny swimmng pool is going to complete, we will have a class in the water in April or May, and for enjoying outside hot spring after class in weekend.

Letter for new students 1

This letter is for students who are going to join the subbody school.
To learn subbody method means no to get some physical techniques, but to change your way of living. It need so much time. That's the reason why the minimum term has been changed from one month to three months.
In our advanced societies, we are forced to keep strong ego and language consciousness. All of us are forced so, then nobody notice that we are forced.
Why was the subbody school opened in Himalaya?
The reason is that we need to separate from the habit and bind of advanced societies, and know that we can live in another way. We can stop our daily ego and langage brain. We can transform from daily conscious thinking mode to listening mode to subconscious process.
We can notice that our life is resonating with the world.
But the subconscious process is so subtle. It is billions times weaker than consciouness. Then we need to separate from the pressure of infomations of adovanced society. The thinking channel with using language is our main channel in daily society. It takes so long time to calm down the thinking habit. In the process to enter the subbody mode, if thinking channel comes up, it stops subbody process at all. We can not listen to the life resonance, because it was masked by strong energy of consciousness.

Then I want to ask all students to prepare before entering the school. Please prepare by your self to calm down your ego and thinking brain through swaying menditation in every morning and evening. I think the ego and thinking is very important for you now, then it means to change yourself from the bottom of being. It need so long time. You may need for many years.

And Dharamsala is touristic town, there are so many exciting exizotic method, like yoga, reiki, body work, music, dance and so on. But if you try to learn two different thing at the same time, you must lose both. I reccomend all students to concentrate to only subbody method in a piriod if you want to get it. You need at least for three months in case of you concentrate on the subbody method, if you lose concetration you need for many years. And disconcentration disturb not only you, but the other students. Because the subbody process is also cobody process which is shared by all students.
Then please prepare by yourself in your home before the school, to get habit of every days meditation with swaying, and listening to the darkness of body.
It is OK only this one thing. Please understand this one thing is not easy to get.
