Whenever Ilchi lee gives a lecture, he usally give a physical training for his audience during his lecture. Because our body and mind is like the opposite side of one thing. The following is a teaching about it.
‘You must strectch your body if you would stretch your mind. If your body is stoopped and bent, then your mind will be stooped and bent, as well. You should keep your posture correct.
Our bodies are containers for our minds. You must study your body if you would study your mind. It’s important to create your body. Your body is precious. This is because your soul can grow through your body.
You can cause your soul to grow by training your body. You use your body for the growth of your soul. You have hands for healing and loving others, not for striking them. Your soul grows as a result of their proper use.
If you have a body, then you can love others and give peace to those around you. People seem to be misusing their bodies lately. This is because there are many un-peaceful events in this world. They misuse their bodies, not because there is a problem with their bodies, but because the soul, which is the master of the body, is not using the body properly. We can use our bodies to the extent permitted by the level of our souls.
Healing is the way for our souls to grow. Our bodies are tools for expressing our souls through our hands, lips, eyes, and smile.
The body cannot live forever young; sooner or later, it returns to the earth. This is because the body came from the earth. You should use your body well when you are healthy because it won’t last forever. We are not given time without limit. We must use our time well. Whether or not the body can do good work depends on its master, the soul.’
