" I was a “thinker” who thought he was perfect and on top of the world.

I learned that I am weak and driven by physical sensations and emotional feelings. I can now focus on those sensations and feelings and learn their true nature. I know that by truly experiencing them I can strengthen my body, my energy and my soul.

I have only just begun, but I am starting from a strong spring board which will propel me on the proper vector (velocity with direction). "

" I always had heaviness in my solar plexus and chest. I also had stigma on my forehead. I always felt anxious, unsatisfied and exhausted even though I had a strong determination; tried to be more generous and did good deeds. I felt frustrated every day because I didn’t know what it was.

As the program progressed, I was worried that my consciousness and fears were getting worse. I had a fear that things might get worse. Nonetheless, I felt it was getting better every day although I felt physically tired, pain and annoyed. I was frustrated when pain was moving through my body, and I started feeling pain where I wasn’t aware of. I learned that my body had many blockages.

I realized that information I had was wrong, and body is very opposite of mind. I also realized that my mind and body become healthy when I live public life with vision and need to be aware of my consciousness on my dahn jon and my body. It is impossible to complete my soul without my body. My body is not me but mine. I will have to practice training diligently as though eating a meal three times day, and have good habits. Thank you. I love you. "

" This program is very intense but extremely satisfying if one is looking at changing one’s habits in order to be happy and lead a peaceful life free of all unnecessary emotions and preconceptions. The program helps to see how it is important to be grounded in your body as opposed to always function from the brain as it is customary for most people to do.

On a personal level, I have been able to come to terms with my emotions and life experiences by understanding, but more importantly, by feeling sincerely that they were meant to help me grow spiritually. I come out of this program with a clearer picture of how I am meant to live my life in a healthy way and work towards achieving my life purpose.

Master Hong is just amazing, if not magical. Her intuition, her sensitivity and her dedication towards the participants are incredibly sincere and passionate. She is relentless when it comes to guiding you towards achieving the goal that you set out to achieve through this program and your life in general. Not only is she disciplined but she shows you how important it is to be disciplined as well. She can be very stern but underneath lies the purest and most loving heart that I have ever met. She will not quit until you have achieved what you are meant to achieve. "

" I have dystonia on my left side. I wanted healing from my condition. Although healing is not complete, I have a better understanding of the cause of my problems and a path to continue to improve. This class is very demanding physically and emotionally, but it will help you. I am much more aware of my physical body and my dahn jon. "
Donna

" I came here with the knowledge that I haven’t listened to myself throughout my whole life. I lived completely outside of myself, reacting to the external world. My goal was to listen, know and trust myself. I learned to feel my physical body and to feel pain that I didn’t know was there. I learned to work through the physical pain and to release old stagnant energy and blockages. I learned about my habits and I became able to watch my habits. I learned to accept that those habits are mine and that I have been the creator of my life. And, I have learned to accept all of me. I learned to feel my Dahn Jon and I know how to stay inside and focus there. I learned to stay focused inside and to not follow my thoughts or my pain. I learned self discipline. And, I have learned that I have a lot of growth to look forward to. I am deeply grateful to Master Hong and to Joan for their guidance and compassion. Thank you so very much. "
Jane

" I came here with an expectancy of some kind of immediate healing. I have a variety of minor physical ailments. A lot of joint pain, stiffness and irritable bowels. I leave here with a totally new understanding of my health, my mind, my body, my energy, my spiritual body, the interaction of all of these and the importance of being aware of this interaction through staying in my dahn jon. The negative habits I have and the frustrations I have had, how these play into my life is now a lot clearer. I now must go forward with an awareness and intentional way of living guided by my soul and nothing else outside my life that would have distracted me before now.

I came here with some fear and nervousness about what I was letting myself in for. I leave with more love for myself, gratefulness for being in the process of learning and for the gift of the people around me who want to heal themselves and the teachers who give of themselves with so much love. The gift of Hong nim, Joan, Susan, Lisa and Stacy is more than words can express. I thank you. I appreciate all you do and have done for me. With love. Thank you more than you will ever know. Love, Peter "

" I came to the THHP because I wanted to understand why I could not stay in my Dahn Jon, so that I could be a better Shim Sung staff member. My goal was to become a better healer. I wanted to accomplish spiritual growth like ceasing to run and hide or avoid uncomfortable life situations (anger and fear). I wanted to experience deeper compassion for myself and others. I wanted to stay in my Dahn Jon no matter what. I wanted to heal my hips, knees sinuses and blood pressure.

I came to understand through taking the course that there is a big gap between my goals and my reality. I have experienced what it feels like to go into my inner consciousness. I have strengthened my lower body and improved my circulation. I identified my life purpose. I improved the flexibility of my hips and cleared blockages in my neck. I learned how important it is to love and appreciate my body. "
Lynn

" I came to the THHP so far outside my body that I didn’t even know what I came here with. It is not that I had numbness physically, but that all I felt was outside of my true self. I couldn’t feel anything inside of my body.

My goals for the program were clarity, purpose, love of myself and acceptance of myself and my situation.

I achieved by taking the THHP finally separation of my mind from myself. I truly feel now that my body is not me but mine and most importantly my mind is not me but mine. I can feel my true self, my soul always watching mind. Even if my mind races with thought and emotions, that truly isn’t me. I can feel inside my body- feel my energy and my soul in a very profound way. I can’t imagine going back to my old ignorance and fear of my body. "
Tanya

" I came here with a lot of physical problems asthma allergies, irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux disease, acne, and migraine headaches. I was taking medication for all these conditions.

My goal was to relieve my asthma symptoms since that was the most serious condition and to possibly reduce some of the medication I have been taking.

The Tao Holistic Healing Program was a life changing experience for me. I came here primarily to relieve my asthma symptoms but the program did so much more for me than that. I learned that my real issue is my intestines and not my lungs and that both fear and resistance have influenced my body condition. I am determined now more than ever to continue using the skills I have learned to heal my body. I am so grateful to the staff for pushing me past my limits both physically and mentally. They have all given me such hope for my future. Thanks to everyone. "

" After a lifetime of physical, emotional and spiritual pain, I came to the Tao Holistic Program seeking health insight and support. But I received more than I believed possible. Being a newly kidney transplant recipient, my goal became healing my body, spirit and soul, I would heal my body, specifically my kidneys. Skeptical and frightened at first, I resisted this process by not accepting the work I needed to do to heal. I felt weak and unable to cope. Soon after my energy changed and I knew I could do this training although
Still concerned. This was the training I needed now, to heal myself fully. Now not later. Ultimately I am grateful I made this decision as self healing is what I have truly begun and received.
With Master Hong and staff, Joan and Angela’s loving insights, care, hugs and encouragement, I feel increased healing energy and insight within. Now I am more in the present less fearful to explore within. I can face my attitudes and behaviors; consequently feeling more love, more balance. Less depressed and more accepting of myself and life. I now have the confidence to work with myself to create my life. I now have the confidence to work with myself to create my life in a loving manner. Discovering which bright flowers I want to keep and which weeds I want to change in my life garden. Now I greet each day with anticipation, love, and gratitude. Best of all I feel more love, warmth, healing and energy in my body and kidneys. My life is awakening and growing. With love I share this with all… "

" This program is not easy to take and understand, but is it life changing for me. I am very grateful and blessed:
-My skin condition is getting better.
-I can walk faster and easier.
-Most important is I know I have my true self and she is inside me and I will focus on my body and listen to my soul from now on.
No one can heal me except myself. This program taught me how to heal myself physically, mentally and spiritually in a tough, unique and unusual way. If you want to heal yourself and have a better life, this is the must-take program. Wisdom from experience. Go for it! "
Lucy

" I came to the Tao Holistic Healing program with anger, stress and to clear negative energy. Do what I wanted to do, sop hiding, live for today, and to stop thinking of the future. My goal was to release and clear myself. Learn to manage my life, habits and practice. Through the program I have experienced how to love my body and connect with my physical body pain to propel growth and healing. My body is a road map of my life. I realized that I’ve had all the answers but have never experienced the feelings to connect and face the pain. Through the pain and tapping I’ve connected wit myself to see my habits. My dahn Jon has grown and given me the confidence to heal, love myself and love my pain. I feel centered and grounded for the first time in my life. The warmth of my Dahn Jon and life purpose fill me with hope. To know my plan to grow with purpose keeps me alive with joy. I will continue to practice to make good habits. "
Lauren

" I came here with high sensitivity to my body, emotions and feeling and desires. My goal was greater awareness and understanding of my body, with the intention of mindfulness to my life’s experiences. I have gained practical experience followed by my body/mind and spirit. My body is more flexible therefore my mind and spirit is a reflection of physical experience. "
Paul

" I came here with emotional pain and memories, depression, self-loathing, lack of confidence, feeling of being lost and inadequate, not using my power; feeling of disconnectedness and confusion. My goals were to feel my body, mind, and spirit integration, find out why I acted and did things that are self-defeating and destructive and have focus and a clear path to achieve my goals.

I gained an awareness of body and dahn jon, how grounding changes my life to make healthy choices for myself and develop new habits that are for my best and highest good. My thoughts are not random anymore, but my mind is clear and had direction. My spirit feels light and happy, because my actions reflect my life-purpose. Love myself. "

I developed mental discipline and focus. I can do more feel more accept more then I thought possible. I gained awareness of my dahn jon. Also, I gained an appreciation for its meaning in my life, and how it works. I also gained confidence in myself and ki energy through confronting fears. "
