Stimulating the Brainstem
The movements of Ilchi Lee’s Brain Wave Vibration (BWV) Meditation stimulate the brainstem.
The Brainstem is a crucial part of the nervous system, located at the base of the brain. It acts like a bridge between your brain and your spinal cord. It’s the Brainstem’s job to send sensory information up to the brain, and carry messages from the brain to control various essential body functions like:
— Breathing
— Heart Rate
— Sleep-wake cycle
— Sensory Processing
— Motor Control
Activating the Vestibular System
Nestled within the inner ear, this intricate system plays a far bigger role than just keeping us balanced.
The vestibular system is a complex network of fluid-filled canals and organs lined with hair cells. These special hair cells act as motion detectors, constantly sending signals to the brainstem about any rotational movements of your head: acceleration, movement forward, backward, up and down… etc.
The brainstem interprets these signals and then coordinates a series of responses, reflexes, involuntary actions your body makes without conscious thought.
Examples of these Reflex Responses:
— Adjust your posture to keep you upright and balanced
— Ensure your eyes stay focused on an object (even when your head moves)
— Create understandings of your surroundings (i.e Spacial Awareness)
Think about that!
The Brain Wave Vibration directly alters the focus of your eyes… your balance… your spacial awareness… and more . . .
