About the Company
At Illumines Core, we work with individuals who are ready to make concrete changes in their life by taking affirmative action. We guide people deep into their past to reveal the subconscious infrastructure of the mind that was molded from those past experiences and help peel back the many layers of behavioral conditioning. This reflective process allows the person to cultivate a higher level of mental acuity and with greater clarity, see their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Our coaches will assist with shifting the focus and reestablishing the fundamental communication skills that will help them reclaim their power and take charge of their life. Our purpose is to help solve the puzzle of one’s past and transform it into a pillar of strength from which continued nourishment can be received. We offer three different programs that turn the focus on passion for professionals, empowerment for the self, and communication for families.
“Be the narrator of your own story in each moment.”
–Angela Kim
Rising from within the darkness of one’s deep, dark soul to shine light upon past hurts and experiences can help bring love into the depths of one’s pain. Just close your eyes and let your thoughts run wild. Find the words to express your experience. What good is a situation if it only keeps you confused and stuck in things that are not even parts of yourself? What did you think, feel, see, and sense during those moments? It is even from the dark muddy waters that a beautiful lotus can blossom; interestingly enough, many people tend to forget that the lotus continues to get nourishment from those muddy waters throughout its life.
The Founder
Angela Kim
The pursuit for true happiness and fulfillment had been a life-long journey for me. I had known and realized that there was something more to what I had come to “accept” as my reality. Having grown up in an oppressed environment with a parent who suffered from depression, trust, love, and safety were things I frequently questioned. It was due to this parent’s repeated actions of packing to leave, making threats of suicide, and enforcing discipline through self-inflicting punishments. Many years passed by before I became aware of the deep underlying mechanisms that have contributed to self-sabotaging behavior, anxiety, and turning many of my fears into a reality. As situations and circumstances entered my life, this creative process unfolded, to help rewire my brain on a deep subconscious level for greater mental clarity and mindfulness.
It is now my vision to help people with this mental development process that I continuously use and refine; this way people can begin to rediscover their true self beneath the many layers of (self-)imposed beliefs which have been embedded during early childhood. I’ve realized that in order to help people at their core, it is necessary to learn essential skills, practice mindfulness, and reintegrate known knowledge into balancing every part of their mind, heart, and body. Empowerment from within is the foundation from which a person can experience and live their truest and most authentic life.
“Whatever is rejected from the self appears in the world as an event.”
