Story & Lesson Highlights with Kelvin Chin

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Kelvin Chin. Check out our conversation below.

Kelvin, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. Are you walking a path—or wandering?
Walking a path.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I founded a nonprofit that helps people in 70 countries reduce their anxiety and suffering, and increase their contentment, inner peace and confidence. I primarily work on the phone and Zoom.

My special area of expertise is Overcoming the Fear of Death in a non-religious, non-cultural way by looking through the belief lens of the individual and helping them see their issues more clearly. Although my personal life experiences include having an NDE (Near-Death Experience) where I almost drowned, After-Death Communications (ADCs) with people on the Other Side, and spontaneous past life memories that reach back 6,000 years, I do not push my beliefs or experiences on my clients. Yet as appropriate, I can access my experiences drawing from them to help my clients understand their own personal fears and experiences.

I also have been teaching “Turning Within” Meditation for decades to thousands worldwide, having taught the first meditation courses in the history of West Point Military Academy and in the U.S. Army, including on the DMZ in Korea. What is unique about “Turning Within” Meditation is that it involves no focus or control, and no clearing of the mind, so that it is easy and effortless, and only needs to be done 10-15 minutes twice a day. Whether someone wants to eliminate their anxiety or expand the conscious capacity of their mind, it is easy to do with this simple technique.

I am currently working on my fourth book.

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
The moment I learned to turn within and meditate when I was a teenager. I learned solely because I was highly anxious and needed relief from my stress and anxiety as a student at Dartmouth College. However, little did I know that meditation would open myself up within, connecting my conscious mind with my larger sense of self, which would result in unforeseen benefits of deep inner stability and spiritual awakening. And that memories of who I have been, thus affecting who I am today, would flood my awareness over the decades bringing even greater strength and a deeper, more nuanced perception of how I see the world.

If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Or too hard on others. Understand that we all have Free Will (personal choice) and that no one can force another to do or be something they are not. That “love” means accepting the other (and oneself) for who they are, not who we wish they were.

Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
In my 20’s, used to think I could change others, that I could help bring about world peace. Now I realize I can influence others, but I cannot change them. They have to want to change themselves and they have to act to make that change. I now take the “long view” on humanity and see that meaningful change is a slow process because most people are afraid of change or are “ok” with living an “ok” life. And I respect that choice although I have chosen a different, more assertive path in my own life journey.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: If immortality were real, what would you build?
My logic and my past life memories signal to me that our souls are in fact immortal. That each soul is eternal, with no beginning and no end. So, yes, I think immortality is real.

And therefore, everything I am doing in my current life through my nonprofit is being built to help not only the present generation but hopefully all generations that will come in the future. As I said earlier, I take “the long view” on what I do.
