A Terrible Spell?

But imagine if some terrible spell were to make the caterpillar forget his destiny, or forget who he really is. Imaging that the caterpillar never took steps to make the transformation possible. Imagine that he never ate the proper leaves, nor spun the cocoon. Perhaps he spent the rest of his life simply crawling around and avoiding his enemies, finally dying of starvation or old age. What a loss this would be! We would only hope that something, somewhere, sometime would make the caterpillar remember his true identity and fulfill his true destiny.

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim teaches people to transform from the caterpillar to a butterfly at her Jung SuWon Academy of Martial Arts. I have personally seen many people choose to transform, and many people that choose to remain the caterpillar. It is your choice. At times it will be hard work, and take sacrifice and commitment towards your own goals, but do you want to be the caterpillar or the butterfly in your life. It is everyone's individual choice.

I love to see others that are really striving to excel and be better. Here is one Jung SuWon student that is learning to deal with the challenges of constant pain and living on coumadin. Here is another student learning God's great gifts to us all.

Look at Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's demonstrations of mind over matter to give you a insight into what you can achieve in your life. An article from the NY times gives some more insight into this exciting way of life.

The spirit of choosing to become the butterfly can also be fun and exciting. Visit some of these:

I choose to be the butterfly... What do you choose?

Dr. Tae Yun Kim- An Introduction to Silent Master

As part of my teaching, I hold Self-discovery Weekends where people explore and express themselves through many different energizing activities. the purpose of these weekends is to give people an opportunity to open up, to love themselves in a more expansive way, and most importantly, to discover more of their true Self. Most of each weekend is spent outdoors in beautiful, remote areas of nature.

I remember that during one of these weekends, while everyone was seated in a circle after completing some breathing exercises, a large butterfly flew into the circle and alighted on my arm.

This charming and fascinating visitor seemed to have a mission. I invited him to step on my hand, and he did so without making any gesture to leave. He stretched his beautiful wings and waved them gently at everyone who came close to look. Even when I stood up and moved around, he still didn't fly away.

Like the butterfly, we had a mission as well. we were gathered together on this day for the purpose of true self-discovery. It seemed as though this beautiful little visitor came to say, "Look at me if you want to know about self-discovery." Perhaps his mission was to remind us of the powerful symbol nature gives us when a lowly, drab caterpillar transforms itself into a multicolored winged being. No longer bound to crawl upon the earth, an altogether different creature flies to the air in freedom!

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim is a superb communicator- a consummate storyteller who can captivate audiences, entertain them, enlighten them, make the laugh, and touch their hearts, time after time.

She sleeps on a couple of hours each night, and every waking moment is spent fulfilling her purpose - teaching classes, reading letters, reading journals, and meditating for creative inspiration on how to help her students. Sometimes she will call a student with advice, encouragement, or, when necessary, a kick in the rear.

Despite her rigorous schedule, Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim radiates the beauty and vitality of a woman less that half her age, because she has master the subject of energy - how to separate it, how to channel it, how to focus it. Whatever she does, she does with the total focus and concentration. These qualities make her a superb student of human nature. The lessons she has learned in that pursuit are the tools she uses to reach people and to help them. She shares many of those lessons in this volume.

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim was born to war, poverty, and hunger in her native Korea. Her earliest memories are too painful for most of us to even want to recall. But one of Grandmaster's symbols is the Lotus flower - a flower that rises only out of murky, dirty water, uses that water for nourishment and strength, and then shines forth its beauty for all to see.

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim is just such a flower. She has harnessed every negative experience in her past and has put it to work for her - to teach her, make her strong, and help her bring forth her inner beauty. Her fundamental lesson is that we hae the ability, too. She teaches directly in these pages and indirectly by her example. One is as important as the other. She demonstrates that her principles work, and that they can lead us, too, to a life filled with joy, peace, and purpose.

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim teaches far more than martial arts; she teaches fundamentally about life -- about living life to its fullest, living with joy and love, living with peace and purpose.

Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim's lessons are about rising above the distractions, temptations, and negative forces in our environment. They are about overcoming the disquieting feelings within us -- anger, fear, loneliness, self-doubt, and the endless list of negative, self-destructive emotions we commonly experience -- in order to let our real selves shine through and achieve our goals in this life.

When we accomplish these things, we feel the deep satisfaction that only success can bring. Grandmaster's mission is to help us discover our true power, experience total freedom, and know that success. She is here to do whatever it takes to help her students achieve that special, personal, breakthrough.
