BIOGRAPHY..
Born in Vancouver, Canada, Kim’s spiritual search began in the early 1980’s. She met Eckhart in 1998, and soon after, went through a transformational spiritual experience while attending one of his retreats. This was followed by seven years of intense spiritual training and unfoldment, after which she began counseling and showing others how to discover their own inner teacher and healer. As a counselor and public speaker, as well as a facilitator of her “Presence through Movement workshops,” Kim has developed her own teaching modality, which is aimed at the transformation of consciousness through the integration of spirit, mind and body. She sees our “God-nature” as living in and through our human bodies. When we awaken from unconscious to fully conscious living, we are naturally aligned with our God-nature and thus bring into creation a new world. . . |

Presence through Movement: . Presence through Movement is the use of the physical form – the body – in order to access the formless dimension within ourselves, the state of consciousness that is Presence. It consists of meditative movements, Yin-Yoga poses and Qi-Gong as well as T’ai-Chi exercises. No prior knowledge is required. The exercises and movements are gentle, enjoyable and suitable for most people, regardless of age or physical fitness. . A secondary benefit of these practices is the activation of life-energy (chi) in the body and the clearing of energy-blockages, resulting in increased physical well-being and heightened aliveness. . Yin-Yoga, by its slow and gentle nature, helps to balance the overabundance of Yang (active) energies in our daily lives. Yin (passive) gives us an opportunity to turn inwards, to slow down, and direct the focus of our attention within. . Qi-Gong, helps to restore the original natural life energy within. We are born with an abundance of life energy, yet as we grow old we become depleted of vitality. Qi (chi) (life energy) - Gong (cultivation), is a system of energy exercises and poses that stimulates and opens the body’s energy channels. . T’ai-Chi, is a slow form of martial arts. It consists of Presence-infused movements, a harmonious synthesis of action and stillness. . Since 2000, Kim has been experiencing spontaneous, intuitive movements while in a state of Presence. Those movements bear close resemblance to T’ai-chi and Qi-gong, although when they first began, she had not undergone any formal training in these practices. Insights into energy, stillness and healing often come to her at those times. Subsequently, she trained with several T’ai-Chi and Qi-Gong masters and now combines her intuitive movements with the more formal, traditional practices. . . Testimonials: “Kim Eng is already known to the participants of recent retreats for her movement and meditation classes, which many people found highly beneficial. I am continuously amazed how effortlessly Presence flows into her movements as they arise spontaneously. Kim brings a down-to-earth approach to spirituality which I find very refreshing. In her counseling work with individuals as well as groups she beautifully sustains the state of Presence and has a great ability for bringing people back into the present moment, the place where all healing occurs and no problem can survive. My blessings go with her and all the people she touches.” . Eckhart Tolle Author of The Power of Now . . "The session with Kim was remarkable. I’ve never been with anyone who can hold that state of presence like she can and presence arose within me more powerfully than I’ve ever experienced it before. I was so alert and so present for awhile during our time together it was not possible for thought forms to even enter that state. Afterwards, when she spoke so beautifully from that state of presence, the loving words touched me with little resistance from the mind." . Jo-Anne McLean Ontario . . "I have to thank Kim Eng for helping me to realize Tolle’s teachings on a feeling level as opposed to a mental level. By feeling my way through the pain-body as energy (not thinking about it) I am beginning to realize the truth that it’s all energy (i.e. everything in phenomenal existence and all life)." . Travis Corwin Indianapolis . . "It was a great pleasure to have met you and observe your ways in teaching, there is strong presence in and around you which has helped me to bring some more awareness into my own life experiences. Since our last meeting I have found myself living with and in awareness of silence, both with mind and body and that in itself has been a great tool in dissolving the resistant mind energy that plagues my life, really I don’t think we even needed to speak, simply being near you was enough to give me a significant jump start." .
