Dr. Eun Sik Kim

If you have practiced any focused art (meditating, writing, singing, painting, walking, participating in a sport, et cetera), it's very likely that occasionally the feeling comes over you that all is as it should be. What may appear on the surface to be a simple everyday exercise in comfort and creativity takes on even wider significance as awareness makes a subtle move into another, higher, feeling tone or "zone." In an ideal society, it seems to me, we would be taught about this possibility when we are children. We would grow up knowing not only how to access this state but receiving instruction about how we can use it to enhance our lives--and those of others--thanks to the healing it grants.

In Korea, where Eun Sik Kim was born in 1948, elders watch for exceptional children so that they can be given just such advanced training. The training includes both academic work and work of the spirit. Master teachers recognized Kim's extraordinary abilities with energy and healing when he was very young and began to train him in the uses of energy when he was four years old.

In the fullness of time, Dr. Kim became an internationally renowned Grand Master of Qi-Gong (a martial art but practiced also for its healing properties), and is called one of the three most powerful Grand Masters in the world. In addition to energy training, he attained a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, a Master's degree in Environmental Sciences and a Ph.D. in Oriental Medicine.

Out of the cycles of nature came the movements of QiGong (pronounced chee kung), which was developed later into a martial art. (History tells us that it is the mother of all martial arts.) QiGong is devoted to wellness and balance of the mind, body and spirit and the acceleration of personal empowerment. Indeed, Qi is a spelling variation of the familiar word chi, meaning energy; and Gong (sometimes spelled Kung) denotes the work one does to balance that energy. Those who follow the principles of Qi-Gong, 7,000 years proven, have experienced not only restoration of a better sense of balance in body, mind and spirit, but recovery from serious illness. Receiving training in QiGong and practicing the movement of energy through gentle exercise, meditation and breathing provides a powerful complement to modern Western medicine.

Among Eun Sik Kim's earliest memories is the Korean War, its hardships and suffering and the great sacrifices the American armed forces made for his country. As he attained his goals in Mastership and academic studies, he found himself remembering an old promise he had made to the Universe that he would somehow repay the Americans for this. He felt the most powerful way to repay the debt was to share with the American people his great knowledge of energy healing and empowerment.

The first part of this plan was to learn as much as possible about diseases that were considered incurable. He became affiliated with George Washington University in Washington, D.C., conducting clinical trials involving the use of Qi-Gong. Research studies here and in other centers show that great progress has been made in working with incurable diseases such as diabetes, cancer, fibromyalgia and lupus.

Dr. Kim has also operated clinics in the United States specifically for researching the use of Qi-Gong for fatal diseases, treating over 200 patients a day with impressive results. To spread the word about the use of QiGong, he has conducted over 2,000 seminars worldwide for major corporations, police departments, the banking industry and various governmental departments, teaching about the release of stress and the healing available from QiGong's practice. At present, he is negotiating with one of the major medical universities in the Chicago area to work with their medical research faculty.

In addition to teaching the principles of QiGong, Dr. Kim is one of two Grand Masters in the world who works with a modality known as Qi-Code. The use of Qi-Code imparts an accelerated rate of change in the re-routing of energy currents. As familiar, stagnant energy is released, a balance in energy circuits is re-created. Dr. Kim calls this delving into one's own perfect energy data bank Qi-Code, and emphasizes that by using it, one's growth into Masterhood is accelerated. You could say that Qi-Code empties out the data bank of unbalanced energy, thus taking one into the higher zone that has been there all along. Kim says that compared to using the practice of QiGong alone, it's like taking an elevator instead of the stairs. Qi-Code is an important supplement to QiGong, individualized for each person.

Perhaps the best way to explain Qi-Code--an instrument that works with one's own perfect energy circuits--and to offer an idea of how it works, is to consider one of the foundations of art therapy. Art therapists recognize form--its vibrations as they enter the body via the eyes--as healing or chaotic to those who look upon it. Think, for instance, of the difference between Picasso's painting, Guernica, a canvas depicting the artist's feelings about the Spanish Civil war, one that is notorious for the discordant, chaotic rhythms it imparts to the viewer ... and a serene painting before which you stand transfixed for the healing its shapes and colors impart.

To help a person put Qi-Code to use, Kim, eyes closed to clearly focus on the inner being of the person who presents him-/herself for change, rapidly draws on a piece of paper a form, a replication of the vibrational shape of the subject's balanced energy field. As the person contemplates the pattern or meditates on it, the energy of that shape is transferred to his or her body, "shaking loose" and replacing imbalance. In this way, out-of-balance data, skewed from choices made throughout a lifetime, is replaced by the pattern of the transcendent energy of spirit that underlies it. In addition to Qi-Code, Kim teaches the recipient gentle movements of QiGong that play their part in bringing the self into alignment

Dr. Kim recently participated in a National Healing Conference in California, sponsored by former President Bill Clinton. Among the participants were Dr. James Gordon, founder and Director for the Center for Mind-Body Medicine and Chair of the White House Commission of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy; Teresa Halliburton, teacher and researcher; and numerous physicians and interested government officials from around the world.

The final phase of Dr. Kim's gift to this country will be in the form of a hospital that is to be a bridge between Eastern and Western medicine, a place devoted to healing the body, mind and spirit.

Dr. Eun Sik Kim is affiliated with the World QiGong Center, 9169 Milwaukee Avenue, Niles, Illinois. A one-day workshop will be presented in the Chicago area by Dr. Kim,
