As I spoke with Yahata, I became aware of her mental strength in dealing with this condition, and realized that she had incredibly overcome key symptoms. And all this only three months after she began to train at the Tennoji Dahn Yoga Center.

Yahata told me that she was nervous at first to train in a center. This is because she was not sure of being accepted by the other members, given her severe and constant shaking. However, she was encouraged and changed her mind when her teacher said, "Please come every day. Focus on what you can do, not what you can't do. Don't be conscious of others and keep your own pace."

Yahata was delighted to know that somebody would praise her for even a small thing. She shared with me that what she experienced in the center was the most impressive memory of her life.

When Yahata did the Dahn Yoga body-mind fitness exercises, one set of movements especially amazed and affected her. It was Brain Wave Vibration, in which the upper body is rhythmically shaken so that the brain's waves are normalized, thus allowing deep healing to happen.

The result for Yahata of doing Brain Wave Vibration daily has been that her involuntary shaking has dramatically subsided. Then one day the class did an exercise standing on one leg – and she was steady enough to hold it for minutes! This brought tears of joy to her and most of her classmates.

As Yahata gained enough confidence regarding her strength, stamina and flexibility, she made the decision to join the Dahn vision in Japan, and open and operate a franchised center.

I realized that Yahata never gave up; she overcame the common tendency to feel like a victim. She went from being miserable because she felt that she was not like other people, to now being able to move her body with a can-do spirit.

With the warm acceptance of her teacher and classmates in one of the Dahn Yoga centers, which I founded 30 years ago, she was able to stay with a fitness program based on effective brain functioning (based on 21st-century medical research) and energy circulation (rooted in a 5,000-year-old Asian healing tradition).

The center's setting and activity gave her hope that she could make progress. She practiced the Brain Wave Vibration method, which I developed a few years ago, where vibrating the body and brain is the purpose – rather than the strange, embarrassing behavior she had always considered it.

I feel immense satisfaction in Yahata's story. Next time you feel that your body and mind are working against you, and that little hope exists to change your situation, think of Yahata. And vibrate your brain waves – with a smile on your face and a specific goal in your heart.

Consciousness is more important than the body. If your consciousness is awakened, virtually anything you want to achieve in your life can become reality.
