What People Say About this Program
“I learned to open and give my heart unconditionally. I also learned what it feels like to feel my body again. I also learned to love myself again. I got my self-worth and value back.”
“I learned how law is vital for growth. Vision is necessary for growth. Without vision growth retards at some point.”
“Oh my, oh wow! I feel totally motivated to reach completion, on the path I was intended to be on: healing humanity by taking ownership, loving myself and everyone using these incredible tools this workshop has provided. I will prove I can deal with doubt effectively by staying out of my head and keep smiling and sharing the joy of living.”
“I have become aware of many things. Some in a deeper awakening. How my mind set my thinking from mind rather than energy effects my condition (physical) dramatically. I need to strengthen my core so energy come from DJ to my mind and will be energy feeling rather than ego habitual. This will be the power source of energy for the day connected to vision creating a hongik one and a hongik society. I learned how important vision is to close the gap between mind and soul.”
“I have gone through immense changes realizing I need my mind in my body and use what brain I’ve been given for Hongik.”
“It has been a great week! I have awakened my true self more deeply. I feel more in touch with who I really am. I needed this greater connection so I can connect better with other people. I want to share my hongik energy with others and spread joy in a way that is joyful and sincere. I have overcome a lot of shyness to share my joy because now I do it for myself instead of for others.”
“I received lots of encouragement and awakenings. Strong sense of love and camaraderie with my intern group. It definitely pushed me to do more and grow myself.”
“I fully acknowledged the fear and darkness I’ve been carrying inside. I was worried to come back to the center feeling like this, but today I felt intense hope. If feeling like this means I am going deeper, then I will continue to move despite my condition. That also awakened me to the importance of opening your heart and asking for help. I believe this will help me in center life and going back home to myself.”
“I gained more mastery over my body, specifically pain. I am less reactive and more empty. I have opened my heart more, as I show my strengths with others through feedback I feel their love and encouragement coming back to me.”
“I realize that energy really is everything, that changing your energy before you go to any activity and talk to others is the key.”
“My experience was amazing. I came nervous and anxious. My soul searching was deep. I felt what love really looks and feels like. The people here were remarkable and beautiful. Everyone helped me open my heart up and made me feel accepted. My heart is filled with joy and happiness, and I was able to smile more than I usually do back home like it was a natural reaction! The instructors’ energies were incredible too! I love everyone and I can see the beauty in people’s souls now.”
