Ilchi Lee

In his lecture, Ilchi Lee told the moving story of his father and expressed his gratitude to him, at the Lecture & Concert to Become 10 Years Younger, in celebration of his latest book Walking to Save My Life: Jangsaeng Walking (in Korean), at Seoul Plaza Hotel, Seoul, South Korea, November 21, 2007. In a tribute to his father’s influence on Ilchi Lee, he expressed his gratitude for and attributed his strong confidence and bold creativity in his life to the power of belief, love and messages embedded in his brain when he was a child.

Here are translated excerpts from his speech:

The winter season is here, which means it is the flu-and-cold season too. With no guaranteed vaccine against the flu and colds, avoiding and recovering from them is an annual occurrence for you and your family members.

According to Ilchi Lee, president of the University of Brain Education (South Korea), "The best way to protect yourself from the flu is to keep your immune system strong. It is your greatest ally in both preventing and treating colds." He points to overexertion, fatigue, minimal exercise, poor eating and excessive stress as the usual causes of a weakened immune system.

The grand opening of Sedona Story Coffee House & Gathering Place, 1^st floor, and re-opening of Mago Café, Korean and American cuisine, 2^nd floor, was celebrated with VIP speeches, ribbon cutting ceremony, and traditional Korean performances, and Korean lunch for the more than 100 guests, at the 207 North Highway 89A building, Sedona, Arizona, December 7, 2007. With Sedona's very large annual number of sunshine days, the rain and wind visible outside Mago Café's wall of windows was deemed a lucky sign, given Sedona's great need for rain.
