Sunim ran the Tuesday night class for 10 years in Palm Springs, California and 10 years in Brampton. He is now in Welland and continuing this special circle. It’s a small, heart-centered circle (only 7 spots) designed to help you: * Release “bad stress” from the body and nervous system * Open and recharge your energy channels (Qi) * Settle the mind and find inner stillness * Reconnect with your body, breath, and true nature * Feel lighter, clearer, calmer.

He also added that Qigong reverses the aging process.Inner Peace Qigong is a beautiful way to care for your whole being — body, mind, and heart. 📍 **Location** **Near Merritt Rd & Niagara St, Welland** (Exact address provided upon registration.) 💸 **Investment** **$17.70 + HST = $20.00 per class** **Class size is limited to 7**, so pre-registration is required. 📲 **How to Register** To reserve your spot: * **Text Sunim:** 416-797-7553 * **Email:** innerpeaceqigong@icloud.com You’ll receive confirmation and directions. 🧘 **What to Bring** * A yoga mat (we have extras) * Anything that helps you feel cozy (small blanket, pillow, etc.) * An open heart We also have extra mats, blankets, and meditation chairs available.

The nature of True Self IS positive, loving, witnessing, unmoved in the moving. No positive affirmation can deliver the depth of contentment, of joy that already exists, that comes forward from True Self. The more we connect with it, the more it grows through us. In such an environment, the body has comfort, hurry sickness and chasing to 'fix' what we 'thought' we were collapses. The nervous system can finally rest - Stillness. From this place, the body will not easily fall prey to disease." - Hae Kwang Sunim **We offer Qigong, Meditation, Zen, Breathwork, and Energy Healing classes designed to support nervous system regulation, stress reduction, emotional balance, and overall well-being. Reach out with any questions. DM Hae Kwang Sunim at 416-797-7553. You are welcome here!** What People Are Saying: "Hae Kwang does it right! Starts off with d-stressing exercises and then from a somewhat guided to full meditation followed with a talk that nails it for me! Can't believe i didn't have to travel to Asia for this experience. Thank you!" - Rick G. "Wanted to share I went to sleep last night and had a nightmare within 20 minutes. I was soooo tired and then remembered to do my Kidney cleanse and fell back asleep without a repeat nightmare. Typically grounding takes hours for me I so am grateful for this tool." With Gratitude.......... *Shelly* 🙏 Questions? Email us at innerpeaceqigong@icloud.com --- About The Teacher: Hae Kwang Sunim started training at the age of 18 in Thailand. He has taken full seminary and in temple training, with graduated ordinations (including Bhikkhu ordination) under Patriarch Kun Sunim in South Korea. He spent over 25 years distilling the deepest and hardest to grasp teachings into a simplified language so it can be taught and effectively applied directly in daily life. In 2005 (2549), the 19th Headquarters in Korea appointed Venerable Hae Kwang as Director of Bo Kwang Zen Center Palm Springs, U.S.A. In 2013, the Western Bhikkhus Council nominated Hae Kwang Sunim 교구장 Kyo Goo Jahng of all American-European Temples (closest english translation: North American-European Oversight Head / Bishop / Director). Qigong and Mind-Body Training Hae Kwang Sunim drew from the most effective mind-body teachings he acquired from studying under different teachers in the East, including the teachings of Wat Bua Luang in Thailand. The methodology is based on the ancient Eastern principles of Hai Palung (Energy Healing), Pon Klie Kwan Sow (Emotional Release), Meditation, Food Based Healing and the importance of compassion, gratitude, oneness, outreach and the need to support the whole person holistically - body, mind and spirit.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.

Communication is everything in life!
