0:00.0	Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own
0:04.3	rebirth many years ago and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life
0:08.9	lessons and revelations. I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose
0:16.2	because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated.
0:20.0	I want to start by reading something.

1:47.0	redefines beauty as how the other makes you feel not just as attraction and
1:52.1	your preferred aesthetics.
1:54.0	The new love is about a beautiful person, not beautiful people.
1:58.0	And it examines energy, flow, and the spiritual dance.
