Jeju Do - Peace island

March 20th we had some great partner healing led by our team leader and we prepared to go to Jeju Island for 5 days. This will be a short summary of our time here. We had the opportunity to go to two universities and share our experiences with the students there. We also got to go to a YEHA event where I lead the warm up exercises. Even though I did not have a translator it was easy to follow and people were really smiling which made me smile even bigger. We also had the opportunity to try different foods typical from the island. We also demonstrated at Dr. Ilchi Lee’s brain wave vibration lecture at the International Convention Center on Jeju Do and participated in a lecture he gave to Jeju congressmen. I had the opportunity to experience that Jeju is truly a PEACE ISLAND. They have no gates, thieves or homeless and base their society on helping each other. They live in Hong Ik but don’t know it. It has been great to share this with them and share with them about this great philosophy and how it is spreading around the world, even into the UN. So amazing how people react when they realize how powerful and special their culture is, it is great to see their big smile.
We also had free time to enjoy Sunrise Peak and an island called U-Do (cow island). If you ever have the opportunity to travel to Korea, Jeju island is a must! We met with the director of the peace and corporation division Kim Wan-Taek. He shared his plans for the future of Jeju and how they are trying to develop four special areas such as tourism, medicine, education and information technology. It was very interesting to see the future of Jeju.
One night we also were invited to have a soybean paste intestinal cleansing. It was a very interesting 3 hours where they applied soybean paste on top of our abdominal area, wrapped it in plastic and covered our midsection with a heated pad that wrapped all around. We then lay down for about 3 hours and did intestinal exercises as long as most of us could stay awake. We then did some stretching and strengthening and were recommended to take a shower that night by going one min in cold water and one minute in warm water exchanging 11 times total, ending and beginning in cold. I did it that night overcoming the fact that I really hate cold showers and I am so glad I did. I slept really well and deeply.
All in all Jeju-Do was a great experience. I am very grateful for this opportunity and really happy to share it with wonderful people.
