There are people who cannot remove the emptiness of their mind only with material abundance and who have experienced an extraordinary yearning for eternal values. They seem like ordinary individuals such as government employees, teachers, housewives, artists or merchants, but they have a different inner self. They say:
"I have always felt lonesome, missed something or felt lost. There was no actual lack of anything at all but my heart always searched for something. I thought I would find the answer in my inner self. I felt all the answers would be in the sea of my deepest self, my inner self.
"I challenged a lot of practices, such as Tai-chi, meditation, yoga, fasting, energy healing etc. and they helped me a lot to relieve stress and improve my health. But there was no further progress. I had the feeling that I was still in a shallow place but that I may not go any deeper. I kept searching for a practice that would guide me to a superior one and finally I found Suseonjae. "
The world of breathing practice is the world through which I go down into the sea of my inner self, the deepest place, through which I confirm and purify everything in myself, read information about the Universe that is the source of infinite ideas and creations by means of wavelengths, the language of the Universe, and at last reach Enlightenment..
On attaining Enlightenment, I enter the world of practice where endless studies of the Universe stretch, and I become an active component of the Universe at last, know my mission and carry it out..
Suseonjae has opened the gateway to a superior practice..
For several thousand years numerous spiritual teachers have taught that the most complete happiness and harmony are in self. They have called it various names, such as True Self, Brahma, Universal Consciousness, or Nirvana. Seongye Practice calls it "Original Nature".
Original Nature is the Universe itself and has infinite wisdom and capacity. The farther we go away from it, the more our lives fill with anxiety and frustration. The closer we get to it, the more our lives becomes peaceful and in order.
Becoming one with Original Nature is the only answer for our inside emptiness that we are experiencing, and it is called Enlightenment or Awakening. The kind of practice that Suseonjae teaches is called Seongye Practice, and it aims at reaching Enlightenment.
There are three (3) kinds of vital energy: energy from the Earth, energy from Heaven and energy from the Universe. These three kinds are used basically for physical health, love and wisdom respectively. The reason why only a few persons have reached complete Enlightenment, even though numerous ones have sought for it throughout history, is that it is difficult to receive the vital energy of the Universe that awakens wisdom. Universe energy falls like a water fall throughout our training centers.
Everything in this world is composed of vital energy (Gi). Our mind and bodies can evolve. We can evolve effectively through Gi. Of all the kinds of Gi, energy of the Universe which awakens wisdom is necessary for accomplishing spiritual evolution.
The way to receive and accumulate Gi of the Universe is by lower-abdominal breathing (Danjeon Breathing). If you keep breathing concentrating on Danjeon(the area located 5 cm below the navel), you can build up vital energy in the Danjeon. After a sufficient amount of Gi is stored up, your mental evolution can start using this sufficient Gi.
Seongye Practice is different from other meditations in the fact that it utilizes Gi. Meditation itself is the way to try to know the inside world of oneself directly through mind. Still, this is not easy because one is trying to get into the deepest sea by way of swimming only. However, the practice of receiving the Gi of the Universe into the Danjeon is a more effective way since it uses motive power (Gi of the Universe) and a submarine (Danjeon) besides just swimming by oneself. Thus the analogy, one trying to reach around the globe is like swimming but one with a Danjeon is like using an engine-powered boat.
Wavelengths are the basic components of the Universe as well as the means which enable one to confirm the existence of the Universe. As the Internet offers all sorts of information through the World Wide Web to everyone, the Universe shares everything through wavelengths. There are approximately 400,000 to 500,000 kinds of wavelengths in the whole Universe and these numerous wavelengths that mankind cannot catch through their sensory organs move the whole Universe.
Once you have accumulated sufficient Gi of the Universe through Danjeon Breathing, your own wavelengths become lower and lower, and reach the extremely low level of alpha-wave. If you are able to radiate alpha-wave consistently, the eyes of Gi, the eyes of spirit and the eyes of mind will be opened one by one, and then you will be able to read the waves of the Universe. On reaching this level, you may communicate with the universe and accelerate your training.
Seongye Practice is different from other Gi-energy practices in the manner that it utilizes alpha-waves, the language of the Universe. Because Gi-energy practices usually give out beta-waves, we can never meet our Original Nature through beta-waves nor enter the highest level of practice.
