Breaking Spiritual Chains: How a Miracle Unfolded

 

24 Days of Ancestor Purification Restoring Peace and Life Beyond Decades of Illness

 

There was a client who ran a small apparel business in the bustling Jobber Market of Downtown Los Angeles. Whenever she felt overwhelmed by the daily grind, she would visit the Ki Center once or twice a week to receive Ki Treatment (energy healing). She was a genuinely warm-hearted person who often brought fresh fruit or pastries, and sometimes even generously donated stylish garment samples she had made herself.

 

Then one day at dusk, as she opened the door to the center on her way home from work, her face was completely drenched in tears.

"Master... my father in Korea... they say he is gravely ill..."

Her story was heartbreaking. Having relied habitually on indigestion medication for decades, her father's digestive system had eventually shut down entirely. Even stronger remedies failed to help him swallow food, and countless visits to renowned hospitals and Oriental medicine clinics yielded no improvement. Just that day, she had received a crushing phone call from her family in Korea: he had been given a terminal prognosis with less than three months to live.

Overcome with helplessness and grief, she wept bitterly. Unable to stand by and watch her suffer, we searched for solutions together.

"We can either perform long-distance energy healing remotely from LA, or ask a Master in Seoul to visit your father's home directly for treatment."

Ultimately, she decided to urgently request help from the Master in Seoul.

 

The Seoul Master visited her father several times, performing Ki Treatment while assessing his condition. Shortly after, an urgent message arrived from the Master in Seoul:

"While his inability to eat is a serious concern, there appears to be a deep spiritual influence at play—a form of 'possession' tied to ancestral spirits who passed away with severe illness and unresolved grievances. We must conduct an Ancestor Purification ceremony as soon as possible to appease their spirits and cleanse their karmic burdens."

 

With a three-month terminal diagnosis hanging over him, every single day counted. We carefully explained the situation to the daughter in LA and recommended the ceremony. Thanks to the deep trust built through her time at our center and her profound love for her father, she agreed to proceed without hesitation.

The very next day marked the start of a 24-day Ancestor Purification Ceremony—a dedicated process to detach spiritual influences bound to the descendants and to cleanse the karma, illness, suffering, and lingering grievances carried by the ancestors during their lifetimes.

 

However, early in the morning on the tenth day of the ceremony, something completely unexpected happened.

The door to the center burst open, and the daughter rushed in, looking completely distraught. Drenched in tears and utterly overwhelmed, she was trembling uncontrollably.

"Early this morning... I got a call from Korea! My father stopped breathing, and an ambulance is rushing him to the hospital right now!"

My heart sank seeing her on the brink of collapse. Yet, in moments like these, I needed to remain a steady anchor for her. Holding her trembling hands tightly, I offered calm words of reassurance:

"Since he is on his way to the emergency room, let us trust and wait for news. Try not to panic, and please try to focus on work for today."

 

After a nerve-wracking day where every hour felt like an eternity, she returned to the center late in the afternoon.

Fortunately, an overwhelming sense of relief was visible on her face.

"The doctor at the hospital said... because he hadn't been able to eat for so long, his electrolyte levels plummeted, causing his heart and lung functions to drop temporarily. They administered IV fluids and glucose, and he recovered immediately."

Only then did we all exhale the breath we had been holding and sigh with relief.

 

Finally, the tense 24 days of prayer and purification came to an end. The very next day, she brought news that sounded like a miracle.

 

Having regained his strength, her father suddenly announced, "I want to eat goat stew." This was a man whose digestive system had been frozen for years, who hadn't even mentioned food in ages! Miraculously, he finished a whole bowl of stew that day. From then on, he began eating little by little and was able to digest food even without relying on medication. It was a true miracle.

 

When everything had finally settled back into peace, she shared a surprising confession with a shy smile:

"To be honest... before the purification ceremony, I was a heavy drinker. My husband's friends used to gather at our house for late-night drinking parties. When everyone passed out drunk, I would carry those heavy people to bed one by one, clear the table, and finish all the dishes. Even after all that, I would drink the leftover alcohol by myself, and I never got drunk."

She added with awe:

"But now it's so strange. Ever since the purification ceremony ended, even a single drink gives me a headache and makes me tipsy right away."

Listening to her, I smiled and nodded.

"The ancestral spirits lingering around you were drinking through your body. Now that they have been purified and guided to a better place, you have finally returned to your true self."

Three years have passed since that event. Despite the prognosis that he had less than three months to live, I have never once heard any news of her father passing away.

 

She continues to live a much healthier, brighter life, actively attending church and doing wonderfully to this day.
