GROWTH

" What I came to achieve in this program consisted of finding inner peace, greater clarity in how to live in the environment I have chosen and how to move ahead with confidence. What I found out was that if one is wanting to give 100% one will get tenfold as return.

Every step of the way I felt enveloped in clear love by Master Hong and her staff, pushed along at some times to my new dimension and sometimes allowed to struggle on my own for a while. The program is structured in such a way that it gives us a feeling of growing in a loving home environment as a baby grows into a toddler and will eventually have the tools to move out into the world and felt my love. I want to thank Master Hong for having developed this healing program and trained a wonderful staff. "

" I came looking for a clear path forward in life. I wanted to leave here with a commitment to that path and an understanding of how to get there. I wanted to grow spiritually.
My problem was that I felt I needed to change my path forward, but I was having a hard time doing it with conviction due to fear and doubt.

I noticed that I came to my body and felt it, finding feelings I thought had gone away, only to realize I had gone numb to them. I came to understand myself, a little bit. I saw how my reactions to life events created my future. I identified my patterns. I saw how fear, anger and not pushing forward toward action weakened me. I saw how I created my own limits. My choices that I have made until now, that were inconsistent with my life purpose weakened me. I saw how I must live for my path forward. I faced my path forward and laid out some steps toward my path forward since my state effects the world around me; I need to keep my life purpose in my Dahn Jon no matter what. Get love from chun ji ki un instead of looking outside. "

" Before Tao I was surviving every day holding inside so much fear. It took me 10 months to have the courage to even come for this training. Now that the 10 days are complete I don’t know why I should have been afraid to come. Hong nim and staff provided such a safe environment for growth that I recommend this program to even the faintest of heart. The program motto could be, “We cater to the fearful.”

Through this training I gained physical strength, emotional endurance and clarity. I can put things in better perspective now that I have learned to focus on my Dahn Jon. I was able to fully participate with myself and use my body in new ways. I feel stronger and clearer.

My life now has new focus. I want to always remember to stay in my Dahn jon while focusing on my life purpose.
a concept but a reality when you have completed this program. You can feel every principle and own it. "

" I came here with an inability to control my emotions. If I could not do something, anxiety about my abilities in general, to achieve my goals and distrust myself caused me frustration and took my energy.
My goal was to know what I was hiding inside that made me not trust myself. I noticed that I didn’t know how much pain was in my body. I also didn’t know I had no contact, feeling or information about my insides, which is what made me distrust because all I could do was get lost in emotion because I didn’t feel my body at all. I thought all I was, was emotional. My body feels less tense now my head less tense and overall lighter. Also, I know I can make it through some pretty tough body feelings so I trust myself more. I realized a lot about the emotions I had packed away and ignored inside. I need to express these feelings as they are not me, but just the feelings emotions or information about how I am in that moment. I think the program is the essence of Dahn as it physically illustrates human technology. It is not just a concept but a reality when you have completed this program. You can feel every principle and own it. "

" My problem: I came to Tao Holistic because I had created my body into an emotional prison. There were wells of fear stuck in my cells, spine and stomach that was creating so much tension for me in all my relationships and in my spine limiting some of my practice at the Dahn Center.

What I received was a complete and emotional physical cleansing that released every tension my body had remembered for its entire experience of life.

What I am looking for now that I have a new body that passes energy freely and isn’t in pain is creating a life in which I can build my strength with healthy habits and patterns that are good for me. So I am preparing to volunteer for the Tao Holistic Program for 3 months so I can grow stronger and practice good healing habits daily. "
Tami

" I would recommend Tao Holistic Healing to everyone. You cannot be a healer if you do not know how to go within and heal yourself. This program teaches you to open to your true healing power, your life’s purpose and to grow. It was the hardest work I have ever done, facing myself, my issues, habits and deeply hidden emotions. I love myself so much more deeply and have just great appreciation and gratitude in my heart! Thank you Master Hong, you are the best! "
Teresa

" I arrived to the Tao Holistic Healing program at the point of my life where I was confused and searching for myself. I knew I needed and wanted a change in my life. During the program I was experiencing emotional roller coaster through which I connected to myself, I realized my habits and fears. I am finishing this program deeply connected with myself, grounded, having a goal in my life and very, very grateful to Master Hong Nim and Joan."
Alexander

" The ten day Tao Holistic Healing was a very positive experience for me. I came with a head full of disorganized thoughts about my life and life purpose. Through practicing the various exercises I began to be able to quiet my mind and go inside my body. As I gradually “turned off” my constant thinking my goals became clearer. I released negative emotions from my past and began to see and appreciate more clearly the good things in my life. Although I expect to face more struggling as I continue to try to grow, I feel better equipped to handle it and use it to heal myself and others. "

" I came to the THHP with so much tension in my physical body and a sprained ankle. My feeling inside was restless and unsatisfied even though I was taking a lot of action. I just had the shell of a leader but did everything from my thinking. My pride was huge. I was making a change from part time Dahn Yoga instructor to full time and taking so much action without really feeling. I had suppressed emotion from my whole life, my parent’s divorce, remarriage, blame hurt etc. I was running away constantly, changing physical appearance and environment.
I found through the program that I do not love myself. I have fear to take ownership and responsibility of my life. I am looking outside for the answers to my problem, receiving love, recognition and attention. I didn’t want to face or accept and “negative” symptoms. I found that everything is simple, my body had the answers. By staying in my dahn jon will help me choose for my life purpose, waste less time and have sincerity. I have a universe inside of me. People interested in growing their soul should take this program for their own foundation. Don’t keep giving when you feel numb! Pay attention to your heart and your passion. But growing the right way means being deeply grounded and rooted in your dahn jon and in principle, making calm energy. Then this THHP offers the opportunity for you and people to check themselves: Am I really living in my life purpose? How can I keep going for my soul?

My awakening is that before THHP I never wanted to stay in my Dahn Jon because I couldn’t feel it. I had no sense of value. Now, I have the desire to share about my experience, give guidance, and share HSP authentically. This THHP is the most important training for my life. "

" I came with weak stomach and intestines and blocked lungs. I came to Tao Holistic unable to manage my anger, my worry and fear. When they washed over me, I felt great difficulty in not being consumed by them. I came to Tao Holistic Healing Program with a pure heart, but problems making strong action from my truth. I always wanted to be nice and please others, which seemed to interfere more and more with my goal of living my life purpose. I have done lots of exercise, but now, from the THHP I feel stronger than ever and have gained awareness that makes all of the exercise more effective. I understand and feel now that I am the owner of my emotions. My anger, worry, and fear are my tools, and I don’t need to be controlled by them any more. I feel so excited to use all my tools for my growth and my purpose. I used to think some emotions or parts of me were bad, or should be cut off. Now I see they are all there to help me if I use them well. I have a much stronger connection with my soul and I am actually able to feel in my body, the most proper choice according to my life purpose. I have confidence in my heart, soul, and the highest good. I have deep trust in the universe, and no longer fear difficult decisions because I feel supported by the universe in doing what is right and most healing. I would tell others that the THHP will help you understand yourself, how you’ve acted, and what you have created. It will free you from the habits and symptoms you no longer desire and give you experiential tools to create the life you really want to live."

" Before the Tao Holistic Healing Program, I’ve always wondered what made me the way I am; I was self-loathing a lot of times, judgmental, felt shame, not sure of myself and of course a lot of discomfort in my physical body. Also, I wasn’t sure if I have strength to continue on my journey of the growth of my soul.

It was I who made all the problems in me. I haven’t used my mind well, so I created many bad habits that are not good for my body, mind and spirit. So I found that I own everything and I love them all and I will share my love with others. I love myself!!!

I am much, much clearer. All I have to do is to catch my mind and feel my body and make choices that are good for my soul and for everybody else’s. "

" My habit was that I hid my emotions to be safe. My mother had passed away one year ago; it was a five year process after a long life of struggle. I became aware that my suppressed anger was negatively affecting my health, my power, my family, relationships and it was blocking my ability to enjoy life. I felt stuck in my old habits. I have a doctorate and lots of ideas and I keep going down the same tunnels of thinking. I went to Dahn and I began to sense a possibility for growth and change. My goal was to claim my power myself and live for my whole me and not get stuck in my cravings and emotions- open my ability to be vibrant again. I achieved an amazing opening and slowly grew a power and willingness to be with all of me. My physical health is alive and no sense of being stuck. I have grown in ten days an amazing capacity to use my body as my mentor. I can welcome the tension in my belly, notice my fear, explore the habit it all grew from and begin the slow journey to delete the information in my mind that is not truth, I have power to grow me ongoing, a never ending journey to claim all of me one moment at a time. I can begin to make new habits so I can enjoy being with people and myself at the same time, a journey of ongoing learning. Thank you! Best learning experience I have ever done. "

" I came to the THHP with a tight chest, hives and a deep cough in my physical body. I had a heavy attachment to my job and family. I had guilt from my past deeds, and I had doubt about my direction. My life was good but I needed more direction and the courage to go deeper inside of myself. Through taking the THHP my chest became much lighter, the hives are gone, and I have only a slight cough. I understand that when I focus on my life purpose I will make the right decisions for my self. I understand my body more and see my job and family as tools for my growth, not as attachments. The physical training is difficult but so fulfilling in the end. "
Ann Marie

" I was not very in touch with my body. I didn’t understand/could not identify what emotional issues were holding me back from being happier and more emotionally stable and keeping me from reaching my full potential. I felt very sad, confused, unsatisfied, and judgmental about myself.

My goal was to identify and understand problems that I feel I have and the reasons for them and to release emotional baggage. I wanted to get more in touch with my body and to feel better mentally.

I understand myself a lot better and know what I need to work on. I have gotten in touch with my body more and have connected my body and mind more.

My deep issues have been identified so I don’t feel as lost and confused. I am able to accept all that I have in me and release some judgments from my past.

I am more aware of my dahn jon and felt healing all over my body.

I feel like I have a new life ahead of me and that I am more in control of creating the life I want. "

" After a person comes back from an exotic journey they experience immediate sensations such as awe, fatigue and gratitude. You know somehow you are changed but don’t know how. It takes some time back in the real world to know how you have changed and what it means in your life.

A child knows that there is something very special and wonderful about themselves. I think that is why children bring out emotions in adults because there is a remembering. Children have such a pureness that can be hurt and changed by other people and surroundings. Life changed me from when I was a child. I began to see myself as I thought others saw me. My success and failure was measured, not be me, but by how others relayed their thoughts about me. The flaw is obvious.

Tao Holistic Healing brought my focus back into my body down into the place where my soul lives. I learned how to really focus within. Now when I focus within I can see myself more clearly. I don’t look so much for myself through the measure of another’s eyes. It taught me to disconnect from the world around me and reconnect with myself. "

" When I came to the Tao Holistic Healing program I felt physically and emotionally drained. Initially I wanted to find myself. My goal was to identify patterns in my life that created unhealthy situations. For instance, how did I relate to others? I have found a better understanding of my physical, spiritual and energy bodies. A main change in my attitude has been to seek for answers within me rather than in the outside world. I have noticed that my spiritual body (mind) held all the energy. My feeling of fatigue came from not having the energy circulate throughout my physical body. "
