 On June 7, 2008, Ilchi Lee and Jessie Jones, Ph.D. gave a public lecture about their book, In Full Bloom: A Brain Education Guide for Successful Aging at the University of Southern California’s Bovard Auditorium.
Approximately 500 people attended the lecture, many of them members of local Dahn Yoga Centers and their family and friends. The audience clearly enjoyed the event, responding enthusiastically to the speakers.
 Jessie Jones gets the audience engaged The opening performances of traditional Korean Modeumbuk drumming and DahnMuDo marital arts were followed by Dr. Jessie Jones’s lecture. Her words touched many in the audience as she related the many challenges and tragedies she faced during her childhood, giving them hope as she described how she overcame her upbringing and background to become the successful woman she is today. The audience's energy recharged when she got everyone up to dance.
 Audience members getting engaged The main message of her lecture was that a healthy mind and healthy brain function is the key to successful aging. According to Dr. Jones, by controlling our mind we can create our preferred life, regardless of our age. She suggests replacing negative with positive thoughts and overcoming the limitations created by the mind. Her motto is to let your mind and heart laugh, dance, play and heal, and to live your life with "Grit, Gratitude, and Grace."
Following her lecture, Ilchi Lee presented his latest Brain Education technique for aging successfully, Brain Wave Vibration. He spoke of Brain Wave Vibration as a "brain vitamin" that helps people to control their thoughts and emotions, and create the lives that they choose. Lee said that Brain Wave Vibration is the core technology for Brain Education for Successful Aging.
 Ilchi Lee gets playful with the audience The audience experienced Brain Wave Vibration first-hand and focused on the message, "I believe in me." Once the audience's thoughts had quieted and their brains were more connected to their bodies, they danced to their own natural rhythms.
A book signing with Ilchi Lee and Dr. Jessie Jones for their In Full Bloom book and Ilchi Lee’s recent book Brain Wave Vibration: Getting Back into the Rhythm of a Happy, Healthy Life followed. Everyone in the long line was able to meet personally with both authors.  The signing took place outside of the lecture hall, allowing people to explore informational booths for the local Dahn Yoga centers and Lee’s website Ilchi.com, and buy books or other related merchandise.
This public lecture followed a special Brain Wave Vibration training for local Dahn Yoga members Ilchi Lee gave at the Manhattan Beach Marriot Hotel the previous day. During the member training, Lee explained to the audience, "You are an original, not a copy. An original creates her own value in life. Recover pure consciousness through Brain Wave Vibration and increase to the greatest extent possible the value of your life by creating health, happiness, and peace." This message captures the essence of his current nationwide lecture tour.
