Now, Master KeumOri nim is in Naperville center
One year and nine months ago on September 19th, 2003 I flew into Ashland, Oregon from Fort Collins Colorado, to attend the Healing Chakra Festival with Grand Master Lee.
The day before I was homeless, finally divorced from a very abusive marriage and left behind a life filled with tragedy, drugs, severe depression and hopelessness, Bipolar disorder and Borderline personality Disorder. Physically I was a wreck. I had acid reflux(severe), physical hernia(surgical level), carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease etc and I could go on. Little did I know, yet many thanks to my twin sister Jeanette and her open heart that brought me to the Festival for that was where my life began to change. Master KumOri gave me a personalized program and diet which I followed to the best of my ability (I was far from perfect). I began to see some change even within a month. Master has all loved me supported me guided me and give me a family of strength to lean on and grow from. By the way, my mother could tell, even over the telephone, how much I had grown. That at 83years old she became a member in Littleton, Colorado.
The exercise program is incredible. The muscles no longer hang on my body. I have tone and strength. I use to cry anytime I would talk with anyone. Now I can stand in front of a group and speak and lead warm up exercises. I am off of 5 of my medications and doing well. It has been nearly 2 years and I am clean from drugs with no desires to, nor thoughts to use. I have hopes and dreams in my life and someday will be a supporter for others to grow their lives as well. I’ve gone to Healer’s school and workshops. All of it helped. I wanted my life to change and I have applied it. I feel anyone can and it made changes in my whole family just because I’ve changed.
Getting away from the drugs and the abuse didn’t fix everything I still had depression and a broken body and it didn’t give me a life worth living. But building my life around a healthy program with alive people and a vision that matched the one I had as a child gave me my hope and dreams back. Happily I am now a lifetime member. Many thanks to my fellow members we all are a family and grow together.
Without hopes and dream, it feels so empty.
