Hello Jung SuWon Kids Club,

Today:

“Have a Positive Mental Attitude!!!”

This is one of Great Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim’s famous quotes. 

Having a positive attitude is a belief that Great Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim has lived with since she was born and especially since she was 5 years old, when she was abandoned during the Korean War, when everything and everyone around her (including her best friend) died right before her eyes. 

So, when things go wrong for you, instead of focusing on anger, worry, frustration, fear, hurt, self destructive energy or any other negative emotion, focus instead on your inner strength.  Focus on loving yourself as your own best friend.  Focus on helping others who are worse off than you.  Carry within yourself a “Positive Mental Attitude!” and you’ll have a great day!

Also, today is:

International Children’s Book Day!

Go to www.gonorthstar.com, products, children’s literature section to find books that Dr. Tae Yun Kim has written for children. 

Frog Milk will show you how to not give up! 

The Lotus Flower book will show you how to rise above your hardest challenges!  

The Princess and the Paint book will show you how to find your own inner beauty in your every day life!

The Be Free CD will show you how to relax when you are totally stressed out and help you become free of whatever held you back.

Have a Great Day and remember:

He Can Do! She Can Do! Why Not Me!

Great Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim’s Lemon Recipe Heals Dry Skin!

Part of a Jung SuWon warrior’s training is to learn about recipes that are made out of natural elements to improve your health or wellbeing.  In this blog, I am sharing with you one of Great Grandmaster Dr. Tae Yun Kim’s natural healing recipes.  A natural way to heal and soften dry skin is with lemons.     

1. If you have a lemon tree in your yard, go pick one lemon.  Look for firm lemons that have a glossy, bright yellow color.  The skin should also have a fine-graded appearance, and feel heavy for its size.  If you don’t have a lemon tree in your yard, purchase a lemon at the grocery store.

Peel the lemon so that when you are finished the lemon rind is in one piece.  (It is ok if your lemon peel breaks into several pieces.  With practice, you will learn how to peel the lemon and end up with one long spiral lemon rind.)

When your lemon is completely peeled, open the lemon into the small sections.  Gently separate the fruit along the natural divisions. 

Put 1 lemon section into your hand.  Squeeze the lemon section so that the juice comes out.  Rub the lemon juice into your hands.  At first the lemon juice will feel sticky.  That’s ok.  Let the lemon juice dry naturally on your hands.  When your hands are dry, feel the skin on your hands.  Do your hands feel softer?

Now take the other lemon sections and squeeze the juice into a bowl.  Rub the lemon juice onto other dry skin areas, such as on your knees, on your elbows, on your feet.  When you take a shower, wash your whole body with lemon juice.  (Keep lemon juice out of your eyes.)  After washing your hair, squeeze lemon juice on your hair for a natural conditioner.  Your hair will feel squeaky clean and soft.

Dry the spiral lemon rind, and use for potpourri (a fragrant lemon smell).

Other Lemon Recipes:

Lemon Water:  Squeeze a lemon section into a glass of cold water, and drink. 

Lemon Tea:  In the winter when it is cold, squeeze a lemon wedge into a hot cup of water.  Add a teaspoon of honey, and you will have a nice hot lemon tea drink.  This Lemon tea is soothing for a dry throat or a sore throat. 

Lemonade:  Squeeze lemon sections into a glass of cold water.  Add a tablespoon of honey or sugar to taste.  Add ice cubes.

Lemon juice helps too purify and soften your skin.

The correct answers to question #1 of “08 Counting in Korean” are: Warm Up Stretches and Jumping Jacks

*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Watch this video. What is the name of the Jung SuWon form in the Video? 

Counting in Korean is an important part of your Jung SuWon training. 

1.  In Jung SuWon class, what are you doing when you count : Hana-Dul-Set-Net!   Dul-Dul-Set-Net!   Hana-Dul-Set-Net!   Dul-Dul-Set-Net!

Circle the correct answers:  Warm-up Stretches, Jumping Jacks, Roll-Backs, Forms

2.  When everyone is lined up in two lines, the most senior student shouts “Hana“, the next senior shouts “Dul“, and each senior in the line shouts a number one at a time ”Set“, “Net“, “Tassut“, “Yassut“, “Ilgop“, ”Yodul“, “Ahop“, “Yul“  

3.  And then in the junior line, starting with the most senior student, each junior student shouts out one Korean number at a time.  

Say and Write the Korean numbers here:  Hana________   Dul________   Set________   Net________  Tassut________   Yassut________   Ilgop________   Yodul________   Ahop________   Yul________

Here are the Korean and English numbers together so you learn to say both:  Hana (one),  Dul (two), Set (three), Net (four), Tassut (five), Yassut (six), Ilgop (seven), Yodul (eight), Ahop (nine), Yul (ten)

A reminder of Dr. Tae Yun Kim’s philosophy is to work together in unity with your friends and family, as the bees show us in the video.  How many bees do you see working together?  In Jung SuWon class, and in your school, work together with your classmates. 

Bees visit these flowers in order to collect the nectar and in the process also pollinate the plants. 

Honey bees collect nectar and store it as honey in their hives. Nectar and honey provides energy for the bees flight muscles and for heating the hive during the winter. Honey bees also collect pollen which supplies protein for the bees to grow. Beekeepers harvest the honey.

The main uses of honey are in cooking, baking, spreading on bread or toast, and added to tea.  Raw honey also contains enzymes that help in its digestion, several vitamins, and antioxidants.

In Fremont, CA, on Sunday Mornings there is a Farmer’s Market in the Irvington area, close to the Safeway on Washington Blvd.  One of the booths at this Farmer’s Market has natural honey combs, honey sticks, different honey flavors to sample, small jars of honey, large jars of honey, and has recipes for cooking with honey. 

It is fun to explore the different types of foods at your local Farmer’s Market.
