All my life I had to fight. And I've made up my mind that I no longer want to fight with my heart against the world. I want to finally smile for real and mean it. I mean, for ten years I hid my smile. I smiled but did not mean it emotionally. Now when I smile, you can truly say that I mean it. All the pain I had building up inside of me is finally released. God said, "Woman Thou Art Loosed" and I believe that is all I needed to hear. I can finally live my life pain free. "Smiles" Andrena

It helps me think about what I could be doing instead of being here. And that there is another way of doing things. I see people views from different points. This class gives me other ways to see things. The subject I liked most was about inner peace. Why, because it's something I never knew I could have myself.

Me personally, this class can be helpful in many ways, such as learning yourself and being comfortable with yourself so you can deal with others.This class is very helpful with relationships because if you know who you are, you can have a better relationship with others. If you love yourself first, others will love you. The concept of taking time for myself no matter how busy I get is really great. It is always good to realize you need to take time out and get to know you. Whether you set goals you stick with it or just make notes to stick with it to better yourself.
I would like to say this is an important class because if you don't know who you are, and love yourself you will have issues dealing with others. Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all. Nicole

What this class means to me!
This class means peace of mind, body, and spirit. Here is where I become totally free. I believe in what Kenny Johnson teaches and I believe he is genuine and does if for the good of all People. All these things enable me to soak up as much knowledge, understanding and wisdom possible in 2 hours a week. I am most comfortable in this class because I know when it comes to me and what I think, do and say, I'll be told honestly about my mistakes and honest solutions. Thank-You Glenn

What I get out of Sacred Space!
I get from this class is this, I can open up let myself, and my thoughts be known. It also helped me find a way to be at peace with myself. If more of us could find this simple way, I believe that more people would be a lot more at ease within themselves and that of others too. This is a way to find out who you are, and what your life means not only to yourself, but to others who are a part of yourself. In a more simpler way to put it is to find the truth about who you really are.

This Sacred Space:
is a place that I need to be in order to maintain my composure and my sanity, especially in an external and chaotic place as this (Prison). This Sacred place keeps me from thinking about what could have been, and it also keeps me from looking too far ahead. This Sacred place keeps me here. in my now, and in my now, through the peace of mind that I have been given by Jesus Christ, I have been able to think on noble, just, pure, true, virtuous and praiseworthy things...things that have regenerated my mind., Anonymous Plea

This class can open your mind and soul. It has a major impact on myself. I am on the path to finding a space. So I can go there when necessary. Steel sharpening steel. Man sharpening man. No matter what brother hood you are from we all need something Sacred.

Mr Johnson;
You have shown me a new way of looking at life by utilizing positive experiences and concepts form your time in the prison system. For many of us in prison, do not see what is upon us, as far as the concept of "correctiveness."
Utilizing your technique of Sacred thought process and exercise has become positive support to my transition as a spiritual being continuing on my road of existence.
I totally believe in this way of thinking and utilizing this in my way of life. Thus creating in my progress and evolution of who my identity is as a human being. Bringing concrete balance of mind, body and spirit.
Much appreciated. Please continue your path of motivation to bring this to as many people possible, as a positive force.

Helps me identify the tools I need to help me get to that Sacred place, my Sacred Space, where I can be me, where I can be safe and free of all the negativity that surrounds me. Anonymous

Sacred Space!
What does it mean to me!
This class allows me to see myself in ways I have never before seen. I may have aware of the things that exist inside as well out, but here allows me to see that make up aspects to what ever live inside my thoughts. When we open up and touch bases on certain subjects we go real deep. Since I have been taking this class, I have been able to deal with people and issues better. Instead of not talking we just do it and deal with the things head on. This class has helped me to be stronger mentally and with that I can approach problems with common sense and with a mature frame of mind.

"I've known Kenny since before he was released from prison. Then as now, what you see is what you get. At first, I met a hard-core convict with a PhD in felonious pursuits and impressive street creds. As we got to know each other, an unlikely friendship developed and I became aware that he possessed a rare gift: He could cut through a jungle of confusion and went straight for the truth. It's not so much that he gives advice: With the blunt skill of a Zen teacher, he slaps you awake and reminds you of the self you lost in some dream. He's still a master navigator of the streets, but now the paths he follows lead to the joyful place within us all. He generously shares this gift with anyone who will receive it. Whether we choose to do so or not is then left up to us."

In my short time of getting to know Kenny Johnson, he has proven to be one of the rare individuals who are passionate and able to stir the potential for change and long lasting transformation in others. It takes a certain psychological makeup to accomplish the transformation Kenny has gone through and continues today. Through a series of spontaneous (and not so spontaneous) awakenings Kenny had left his life of criminal choices behind, not in abandon but as an opportunity for personal and spiritual growth. He continues to live his life's passion and purpose in being of service to incarcerated individuals allowing them the opportunity to come alive to their own way towards awakening. I believe Kenny lives by the Mahayana Buddhist idea of, "By the fruits of your labors you shall be known."

All the very best,
Dr. Jonathan Hyslop, D.C.
