HSP 12 Steps

Late Thursday evenings, I practice HSP 12 Steps with some of the other staff and students at UBE. HSP 12 Steps is one of the training programs that was developed by Ilchi Lee. HSP stands for health, smile (happiness), and peace. The training helps to strengthen your body and develop confidence. Each successive step requires greater muscle strength, balance, and trust in yourself.

The training starts with Step 1, push-ups, and progresses through a series of steps to the final step, walking on your hands. When I first started doing this training, I thought that me being able to walk on my hands would be impossible and I came up with a whole list of reasons why I wouldn't be able to do it.

This training, though, proves that anything is possible if you do it diligently and sincerely. Step by step, as I gain strength and confidence, I can honestly say that some day soon I will walk on my hands. Right now, I'm working on Step 9--walking on your hands in place against a wall.

HSP 12 Steps, or sometimes a more scaled-down version of it, is practised in schools as part of the Brain Education approach. At Kookhakwon, the building next to UBE, staff practice HSP 12 Steps together everyday at 3:00 p.m. You can see men and women, young and old, working together to improve their practice.

Here's a video of Ilchi Lee himself doing HSP 12 Steps training as part of his daily routine:

Quite an inspiration!
