‘Left unchecked, stress can poison every aspect of your life’

It is the #1 killer of humans, causing as much as 60% of all our illness and disease. Chronic stress (the kind modern life is filled with) is linked to higher incidences of ALL SIX of the top premature killers:

Heart Disease
Cancer
Lung Disease
Accidents
Liver Disease
Suicide
Simply by living a modern life – full of constant, but not immediately life-threatening stresses your body is tricked into feeling like it is constantly in danger. So, it responds with the classic “fight or flight” stress hormones that helped saved your ancestor’s lives.

Stress hormones contribute to your feelings of:

Irritability and unhappiness
Fatigue and lethargy
Chronic and acute physical illnesses
Apathy and depression
Inability to concentrate and think clearly
Many people also contend with the isolation inherent in 21st century lifestyles. We no longer have an extended family close-by – there’s often no one to turn to when stressful events begin to wreak havoc on our mental or physical bodies.

But, the good news is that you can learn to manage life’s stress and mitigate the negative effects. In addition to self-healing exercises and practices, you’ll start to build a community and surround yourself with the loving, supportive people you’ll meet at “From Stress to Strength”.

‘You can learn to use stress to fuel a happier, more productive and healthy lifestyle’

During this retreat you will learn how to transform stress into the strength you need to live the fulfilling, productive, happy life you seek, without giving up your demanding job, family obligations or social activities.
Based on Tao practices and principles, this retreat focuses on the chakras — the power centers of the body, with an emphasis on the sacral, solar plexus and heart chakras.

You will learn to access and use Ki energy to balance your chakras and open blocked meridians, literally detoxing from your stress at a cellular level — so you can maintain your positive energy, even in challenging situations.

In one short weekend, you will learn how to create a happier, more peaceful and fulfilling life.

We will explore how to use your:

Diet
Exercise
Breath and
To reframe thought patterns
So they all play a key role in preventing stress from derailing your life.

Testimonials:

Dear Chun and Mago Retreat….I have fully enjoyed my time in FTS and FTST. The minute I pull into the property a sense of calmness enters my body, mind, and spirit. I started my journey at the Tao Center in Chandler the summer of 2016. I today cannot imagine my life without all the tools, resources, knowledge, and wisdom I have learned from both retreats and my weekly practices with Chun. My journey is far from over….I will continue practicing, listening to my heart to access what I have always known and what resides within my physical body: “my light” “My True Self”. Now I know whatever life brings my way I am equipped to handle all things. The answers are within! My sincerest thanks and gratitude to those who have brought to life Mago retreat and a way to a brighter life and world. Sincerely and with love.

This experience allowed me to begin to open my soul and experience feelings and emotions I have never dealt or held in for so long to be released. It was truly an unforgettable moment, mainly because of Chun’s help. Her degree to help the individuals is unbelievable and providing such hope to a brighter pathway to life moving forward. She truly is passionate and provides the support needed. This course provided me with practical skills to bring back with me to actually use and decrease the noise that real life is surrounded with. My hope is to continue to get in touch with my soul, to open, to find my truth. To feel –to watch-to accept-to change- to act. Chun, thank you for your passion and your support. ~Christine

My visit to Mago happened at the last minute, but not by chance. This was my first spiritual retreat and it was more than I could have ever imagined. I arrived here feeling broken and it did not take long to begin to feel whole again. The program, stress to strength by Chun Shim was nothing short of amazing, beautiful and life changing. Chun has an enormous loving energy that brings you peace before the program even begins. Thank you. ~Cheryl
