But I am back now. <br /><br />I picked one post to read tonight, based on the title, and what did I find -- a post by your husband. It is beautifully written, with many insights. <br /><br />Yoon's story is an amazing one of courage and transformation. It is wonderful to know that he found his true calling and can bring his love of yoga to others.MikeBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-54549913366718426272012-02-09T08:50:32.273-08:002012-02-09T08:50:32.273-08:00Dear Yoon, it's such an honor to hear from you...Dear Yoon, it's such an honor to hear from you.

I don't cover enlightenment here as there is much debate over that subject and from my experience every one has to walk their own path and find their own answers ....In my book, I share my journey and I share my experiences in order to connect with others. Meditation, yoga, walking, etc. all helped me to feel inner peace. What I found for myself is that there is No-thing to attain. The light is already there— in all of us.Katherine Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732133918969183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-86212767542059286302012-02-03T04:32:30.372-08:002012-02-03T04:32:30.372-08:00Hi katherine.

Im really looking foward to your book. <br />May i asked a question?<br /><br />'Does your book or blog cover your thoughts or your husbands thoughts on enlightenment? <br />Is it really attainable?<br />Have you attained anything simular like inner peace etc etc and how?<br /><br />Id be really interested in knowing your thoughts about this kinda thing as i am on the Buddhist path myself?<br /><br />Regards.<br /><br />AshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4486193827401290239.post-78438309116859686282012-02-02T21:21:14.703-08:002012-02-02T21:21:14.703-08:00@Kurt, so nice to see you here.

My favorite part is at the end:<br /><br />"Through creative energy and love, we become the embodiment of who we are, and that authenticity also continues to evolve through our own searching.<br /><br />So don't be afraid of the different winds that come to your life—even the unpleasant winds. Life is an adventure. Sometimes we find treasures and sometimes things fall completely apart. If things aren't working the way you want them to work, maybe the universe wants to offer you something better, but you can't see that right now.<br /><br />Be strong. Don't give up searching and you will find those treasures that are beautiful and priceless."<br /><br />Wonderful!
