"My name is Dr. Beauty Swe, and I am an Internist, with a very busy, successful solo private practice in Pasadena, affiliated with Huntington Memorial Hospital and Arcadia Methodist Hospital. I had been researching and looking for an effective alternative way to help and heal my medical problems rather than the extreme conventional treatments.
I am so thankful that I found Body and Brain Yoga* as a few months after I started practicing this, my severe symptoms of cervical stenosis and left shoulder ligament tear improved so much that I was able to not only avoid surgery altogether but also go back to doing things I had not been able to do before like jogging, swimming and spinning.
It has also dramatically helped me with my severe sleep apnea. I have had to wear a CPAP machine and mask every night for the past 5 1/2 years. Without it I would feel very lethargic and fatigued as soon as I wake up, so tired that every day I felt I could just go back to sleep anytime. Six months of practicing Body and Brain Yoga, I do not need to use the CPAP machine anymore at all and every day I have so much energy and focus that despite my 14-hour busy work day.
Master Hongik’s private sessions were very helpful for both my physical and mental health. After every session my muscle tensions would be relieved and feel more flexible and stretched. I would also feel calmer and peaceful no matter how stressful I had been. Most valuable was the energy I received which lasted for a long while. I am also thankful for the healing process that Master Hogik incorporated into her private sessions with me. Was very very helpful.
After experiencing the amazing healing benefits, myself, I have been enthusiastically recommending Body & Brain’s holistic wellness techniques to many of my patients, friends and family, near and far even back home in my country. From a professional standpoint, I am seeing great benefits in my patients’ improvement from issues with overweight, blood pressure, arthritis, spinal problems, muscle spasms, insomnia, stress and last but not the least, anxiety and depression.
I highly recommend Body & Brain Yoga as a very effective alternative healing for physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing."

"This 28 day Energy Detox transformed me at multiple levels… Emotionally I feel the freedom to choose the right nourishing food for myself & even if I want to enjoy a treat I do it mindfully, chewing 30+ times & need very little to satisfy myself without guilt. Mindful eating was a huge step in the right direction which I learned to practice in this program.
I feel more grounded & connected to my body’s needs. My body now lets me know through distension, indigestion, nausea or simple intuition what foods don’t agree with me. I have less fluctuations in energy levels and moods. I can feel into and read between the lines when I listen to others. I am experiencing less drama & deeper connections with my family, friends and clients.
My mind can get back to the deeply relaxed state more quickly. With regards to physical health I feel less heartburn, indigestion, more regular bowels, less frequent headaches & most importantly lost my desired amount of weight!! 😀. I believe this type of program is the missing link in today’s weight loss programs and lifestyle Medicine practice.
I am so pleased to achieve healing at such a deep level in such a short time. I highly recommend others to try this 28 days detox program no matter what your goals are…. emotional detox, organ energy detox, better energy levels, youthful skin or weight management!
Master Hongik’s energy is loving, kind, healing and inspiring… must be experienced as words don’t do justice!"Promila Banerjee, MD, FACP, FACG, FAAAARM

"My health has improved so much since I started coming to this Body & Brain Yoga Center. I met Master Hongik in Oct 2017. I was extremely short of breath and asked her if she could do some energy healing on my lungs. One 90 min session and I felt better than I had in years!
I live in CA so I have continued to have sessions with her 2-3 times a week via Skype. These Chakra healing exercises have helped me more than many things I have tried. I have searched for 35 years to find something to help me deal with my extreme shortness of breath. These treatments work! I can breathe now and am finally able to enjoy my life."

"Master Hongik reminded me that I am One with Chun Ji Ki Un which represents the energy of Heaven and Earth in all things. I found Master Hongik (who studied under Ilchi Lee) in October and she helped heal and ground my energy for TEDX and beyond. I was so calm and at peace the day of the event, not one anxious or nervous moment...just pure positive energy. And I have never felt more at peace, grounded and AWAKE in my entire life. And I’m only beginning to rise to a completely new level of consciousness. Thank you Master Hongik."

"Master Hongik is a gifted and seasoned intuitive reader. She has a unique ability to find truly precise answers to my questions, often uncovering information that no one else would know. Her intuitive ability, coupled with her experiential wisdom is a treasure. I feel clear, on course, and energized every time."

"It’s challenging to know where to start with sharing what my personal experience has been with one-on-one training/healing with Master HongIk.. Covid has made meeting in person challenging, but that hasn’t made a difference. Whether online or in person, the knowledge, healing, and deep insights I’ve gained thru my personal time with Master Hongik has allowed me to enter new universes of my being and my true self.
There are a number of personal breakthroughs I’ve had with my one-on-one work with Master Hongik. One has allowed me to be less judgmental and more forgiving to my family members and others whose behavior had caused deep and lasting trauma to me. I was able to envision these people with karmic and spiritual journeys of their own and remove the sense of my own ego from their prior actions. Being able to start on that journey of “true” forgiveness is frightening but freeing and exhilarating at the same time. I see hope, and no longer feel stifled, in the process of getting there.
When it comes to healing, Master Hongik’s life-particle energy and healing feels supernatural. The energy and love that radiate from her hands and spirit are allowing me to allow her to help me heal and see through my life’s challenging experiences as a young child, the me as a young child who learned the wrong lessons about myself and my self-worth from others behavior.
She helps me re-raise and heal that helpless child - helping me gain mastery over myself, my emotions, and my behavior. This has had an immense practical change in my day-to-day life. I find myself more present, more loving, more complete in myself in my day-to-day life and my relationship with others.
I first met Master Hongik when she was teaching online (physical) strength training. Little did I know then the true strength that I would achieve thru my work with her. I am truly gifted having her with me on my journey."

"The detox training was so good for me! I’m so glad I chose to take this step of physical and emotional cleansing. I reduced down to my former weight and did not miss the food I was used to eating. In fact, I have decided to incorporate the food list into my current daily life. The emotional cleansing was the best part of this detox.
Master Hongik administered a spiritual/intuitive reading that was so helpful to me to realize what negative thoughts and baggage I’ve been carrying around for years! Through her reading, I was able to recall and digest events in my life and, with her, work to resolve the heavy emotional baggage. Resolve so much, that after my session I even felt my body condition lighter and a sense of not carrying so much weight on my shoulders. I loved this program, the exercises and the spiritual reading that I will take it again. Thank you Master Hongik for assisting to take the load off my shoulders and helping me cleanse!"

"Detox training was great. Enjoyed learning about the organs (heart, lungs, liver, etc.) and their connection to other parts of the body, and how emotions can affect the organs. Stimulating the energy of the organs by body movement was wonderful. I am very grateful to Master Hongik for the spiritual intuitive reading of my organs."

"Meeting Master Hongik has started a new chapter in my life. One in which all that came before aligns with a clarity and purpose. Her direct nature, deeply positive orientation and intuitive spirit have helped me to align with my True Self purpose. Understanding and acceptance of my ego as natural component of my larger being has helped.
Rather than suppressing and punishing my small self in the hope that this would help me manifest True Self, she has shown me tools and techniques to activate and manifest a state of Master Consciousness that goes directly to Source. From that direct route, I have been able to love myself and be loved by my Self directly. The power of her presence, energy, knowledge and intention evoke and invite my True Self. I am very grateful that she reached out to me and invited me to participate. Without her direct and humble contact, I may well have passed on what is available in the Body and Brain path."

"It is immensely powerful to have a reading done by someone with heightened intuition. Someone who sees what you can’t see because you are too close to yourself. Master Hongik is such a person. For me she started off very playful, using both the wisdom cards and the crystal pendulum to guide the answers to the questions I had. My session with her gave me many insights into myself that I thought were spot on. I am trying to heal my physical body and I left feeling great hope that it is possible."
Leslie Oakes

"Master Hongik always seems to recognize where my emotions, body and spirit need healing energy, even though I am often unable to clearly identify these broken places myself. She seems to be able to see which chakras are blocked and then she has taught me amazing practices to help unblock these places. I have gained so much energy and peacefulness in the process. She has deep understanding and makes learning and growing fun. It is amazing."

"The 28 day detox program was powerful for me. Even though I initially chose to do it for cleansing my digestive system, I knew I needed some emotional cleansing, too, and hoped that would be a benefit. At the beginning of the program, Master Hongik shared with me during an intuitive session that I was holding a lot of grief related to my dad. I thought maybe I hadn’t fully grieved his death, over two decades ago.
But she said that it’s possible that this grief began even before his death, when I was really young. When I began this program, I thought most of the emotional cleansing would be around anger. And by the third week of the program, there definitely was a lot of frustration and anger energies coming up. Rather than suppress them, I observed them. Master Hongik reminded everyone in the program that emotions will come up and this was good!
At the end of the third week, Master Hongik led us through a 5 organ detox energy training with sound therapy. Two hours after the training, I began crying. The tears just kept coming. My husband said I cried for over an hour. Sobbing would actually better describe what I was doing. I wasn’t clear about the grief that I was releasing, but nevertheless, that was truly an emotional cleansing that I am grateful for.
I want to add that Master Hongik’s intuitive reading was correct. Two weeks later, during the Finding True Self workshop, I became aware that much of that grief was related to something about my dad that I had been aware of since I was little. My dad didn’t get to live his life fully as his True Self, he had to always “do more” to live up to what others expected of him as being the Number One Son in a traditional Chinese family. I was very close to my dad and was very aware of this since I was a little girl. I locked in so much grief that I felt for him. During Finding True Self workshop, it felt as if both my dad’s spirit and I were freed from the limiting point of view that caused this grief for him and for me. I’m so grateful for both the Detox Program and Finding True Self workshop. Master Hongik’s guidance was a huge contribution in what I was able to release and become aware of."

"Master Hongik guided me through the energy healing process by explaining everything carefully and in a way that made sense. The days after the energy healing session with her I felt as if my body had been reset. Her spiritual insight is at the highest level and she understood what I needed immediately. She indicated what areas of my energy were blocked and gave me exercises to unblock those areas. The combination of her healing sessions and the exercises enacted positive changes in me. I highly recommend her methods."

"Getting better spiritually and mentally is a challenge. Master Hongik is amazing at helping me work through the blockages that prevent me from being the best version of myself. There is so much history and old records that affect why we do the things that we do now. Working through past issues with Master Hongik is truly a gift of addressing the past to build a good future, it healed my mind, body and soul. "

"I came to Brain and Body Yoga to help find balance in my life. I have one of those jobs where it is easy to take on other peoples’ needs before my own. My first private session with Master Hongik blew me away. Her intuitive reading helped me understand what has been keeping me from being my true authentic self. Her intuitive energy healing has allowed me to feel peace and a sense of calm that I have been searching for a very long time. Master Hongik energy work and teachings has set me on the road to discovering what true spirituality really is."

"I met Master Hongik when I was at the lowest point in my life, physically and energetically. My work with her completely turned my condition around. Master Hongik helped me deal with chronic dizziness, which had been preventing me from traveling, driving and working as much as I wanted to. After working with her, I was able to not only resume my normal daily activities, but also to take my work in the areas of confidence, speaking, presence and energy work to the next level by sharing what I had learned from her. I will be forever grateful to have crossed paths with Master Hongik."

"Emotional Mapping / spiritual reading:
My emotional mapping session with Master Hongik was very interesting to see how certain patterns in my life have been created by emotional traumas, and how that connects to the energy of my organs and the cycles of the 5 elements. Through our work together, she helped me to connect to a very deep part of myself that I hadn’t been able to access before. This was very profound for me and has deepened my ability to love myself.
Pendulum Reading:
When Master Hongik did the pendulum reading and healing, I felt a very powerful opening in my 6th and 7th chakras. This has helped me to trust my abilities to access my own spiritual and intuitive knowingness.
Last Healing Session:
My last healing session with Master Hongik was very powerful. While I was doing energy healing on my organs, she was doing energy healing on my brain and pineal gland. This was deeply relaxing and I experienced great love for and connection to each of my organs. I left the session very relaxed and very peaceful. My sessions with Master Hongik have supported my knowingness that I have the ability to heal myself on so very many levels. I appreciate this tremendously."

"Recently, I had an appointment with Master Hongik for an intuitive and spiritual healing as a follow up to my finishing the Finding True Self workshop and Pineal Gland Awakening Intro webinar. Both workshops were very powerful and positive experiences, particularly the Finding True Self workshop. Most of my life, I have been able to shut down my feelings to such a degree, that reception of emotions from others, or my ability to fully and truly express emotions to others was repressed.
The Finding True Self Workshop was the first breakage of the knotted heart chakra that choked my energy flow. I was then able to feel deeply for the first time. What a gift. It was Master Hongik’s direction of the workshop with true compassion, knowledge, and the ability to encourage and push me to my maximum that made me, for the first time, feel more in control of my body and emotions. I was delighted beyond belief at the outcome of the workshop; I was a new man with a new life to live.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived for the intuitive/spiritual healing, but Master Hongik possessed a presence that was immediately welcoming and reassuring. I also knew I was in the presence of a very powerful and gifted person. After the Finding True Self Workshop, I felt I had my chakra’s in a row and that this session would just be a tune-up; it was so much more.
Master Hongik was able to fill me with a burst of energy that is hard to describe. I felt that a burst flooded my head with light. But the most surprising, and most powerful part of the session for me, was when Master Hongik sensed one of the major blockages from my past hadn’t been fully addressed. With a deep sense of empathy, warmth and strength, Master Hongik alerted me to the issue, then engaged me in a process that brought closure to a burden I unconsciously carried for decades. I will always be deeply grateful to Master Hongik for giving so much of herself, so I could heal."

"I am very glad that I chose the Energy Detox program. After the first 2 weeks, I felt lighter, happier, and full of energy and love. I lost more weight than I had expected, sleeping fewer hours and feeling rested. I finally started to feel my body, recognize the energy of my organs, notice blockages, and learn how to improve the tension in the body and get rid of toxic waste. I can see significant changes in my feelings, emotions, and overall well-being."
Leah Crawford

"My relationship with food was not a positive one previously, with frequent poor food choices, binge eating, and quick fixes being a common occurrence. The energy detox program taught me to slow down and savor the beautiful process that food selection and prep are meant to be. I finally learned to celebrate the food I put into my body, which led to a multitude of positive trickle-down effects. My intuition spiked and mental clarity is at its peak. I am sleeping soundly and feel just an overwhelmingly positive outlook and lightness and brightness I had not experienced before. Thank you, Master Hongik, for your immense love, intuitive powers, and for sharing your light with the world."

"I wanted to free myself of long held suppressed emotions so I would feel energized and able to integrate my inner child. I’m most grateful to Master Hongik for her clear guidance and compassion in my personal session as I got to express repressed emotions from the first moment my body went into shock 63 years ago. Now, I’m listening to my body and showing respect and devotion to it, loving myself unconditionally."

"I joined the program because I had some stubborn weight and emotional grudges that I was ready to heal, and I could sense that they were related. I also had been feeling disconnected from myself, drinking lots of coffee and eating whatever to manage daily stresses. With the energetic foods, I quickly dropped several pounds as the energy of my internal organs began to purify. With the powerful, compassionate guidance of Master HongIk, I could see my inner child that I had buried under years of stress and hurts. After this training, I feel a sense of empowerment that I am the creator of my life. I am so grateful for this training. I broke through a period of stagnation and feel so free!"

"his energy detox class has been the best ever! I learn things about myself I’ve never realized before. I also learned about which chakras were blocked and how to fix them. I am a much stronger person as a result of this class. I have learned how to overcome my fears and anxieties. I truly recommend this class to everyone! You also will be amazed at your transformation."

"I am always looking for ways to improve my diet and the 28 Day Energy Detox seemed to be the way to do it. It turned out to be so much more. At first it was challenging. Giving up coffee did not make me happy. But after getting into it for a week, I found I could live without caffeine. I was eating fresh, whole foods and enjoying it. My digestion felt better and it felt like no more heartburn. Emotionally I feel lighter and more centered knowing I am making the right food choices. My private session with Master Hongik was amazing. Master Hongik is sensitive, empathetic and helped me realize I had not dealt fully with childhood trauma as well as I thought I had. She gave me insight into what I needed to work on to fully heal my energy. I am so grateful that I took this journey and forever grateful to Master Hongik."
Maryanne Kreischer
"I started the Energy Detox program knowing something was very stuck in my life and I needed to make changes. This program helped me to do that and more. I am grateful for the help with weight loss and digestion. However, through caring for myself with mindful eating, loving food preparation, daily exercise and meditation and the guidance of Master HongIk, I developed a deep love for myself. That love has helped me change habits and ways of thinking. I no longer feel limited by that way of living. I am committed to continuing the journey and highly recommend the program to everyone."
Hal Keshner
"Thank you so much Master Hongik. All week people have been telling me I look younger. Today my chiropractor said my head is turning farther in each direction showing better alignment. I have been trying to eat just real food and drink more and it has made a great deal of difference. After our session, I began to feel like I did not have to prove anything to myself or anybody, but rather just to do and make real what is inside of me."
Leanne Miller
"When I started my Energy Detox, I was not a happy camper. I am a meat and potato lover, but since I have been doing the Energy Detox, I notice I have more mindful of eating and thinking of different ways to prepare my food. I am noticing the weight loss, which has helped in every avenue of my life. I don't seem to have the craving for meat and potatoes like I did, and I even have some favorite foods I would like to keep on my list. It has been an interesting and amazing journey for me. I can't thank Master Hongik enough for all the guidance, teachings, and all of her handwork and dedication to us all! Kamsahamnida!"
