I got to know this meditation because of my younger sister. For over ten years, my younger sister recommended I do this meditation, but I believed that I would live my life better with love rather than cleaning my mind. I believed nothing could overcome love so I tried to live embracing everything and volunteered a lot. But my own mind was never happy. I had been living harder, more diligently, and more righteously than others, yet I was filled with stress.

The anger and resentment deep within my heart that I had been living with appeared as thyroid cancer

Having been brought up with Confucian family traditions, I never talked back to the elders.  I stored all my anger and resentment deep down inside my chest and simply replied, “Yes”. That accumulated inside me for decades until my 60s when it appeared physically as my body became more and more stiff. My arms and legs wouldn’t move well and even just sitting was difficult. To find out what illness I had, I went to multiple hospitals for two to three years and took a many different medications and exercised diligently. When it got to the point where I could barely stay sitting up comfortably, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I had been so concerned about my stiff body and treating it that I had not paid attention to my thyroid problems and that became cancer.
I was greatly discouraged that I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer after all that I had done. I started this meditation after having selected a surgery date. It wasn’t easy for me to throw away my minds.  It was difficult to sit for long hours, so I wondered if I could do this. I had so many negative thoughts, I had to put 100 times more effort into it. But I still didn’t give up and I spent twice as much time doing the meditation. From that moment, I could really see myself and truly repent.

After meditation, my resentment disappeared and I was no longer tied up with my illness

Living life by the book, being prim and proper, I used to think that I had lived well and did not need to clean my mind. But now I am so sorry to my family who had to deal with my egoistic pride. They must have had a hard time with me. Even my husband coming home late at night and his frequent drinking that I couldn’t understand was all because of me. Thinking about how he must have had no place to rest because he must have felt my dissatisfaction towards him and my wanting to kick him out, made me sad.

When I returned home from meditation, I bowed to my husband. “If I hadn’t done this meditation, then I would have lived my entire life resenting you. But I threw away all those minds and now I can say that I truly love you and am grateful for it.”  Even my physical body has greatly improved and I am going hiking regularly, my body is returning to normal. It has been seven years since my thyroid cancer surgery and I am no longer tied to my body so much so that I forget I even had surgery.
They say illness in the mind brings physical bodily illness. If I can just live with this mind, then I can say with confidence that I will never have any illness. These days, I am having so much fun with my husband. Coming up on 70 years of age, I don’t have to worry about the future and about my health. I can truly enjoy life and I am so happy about that.

Campbell Meditation Experience - Meditation Taught Me To Accept The World

  Campbell Meditation Experience – Meditation Taught Me To Accept The World Gadhi Asan – Campbell, CA Before I discovered this meditation, I really felt like I had reached the end of my rope. I felt like there was always a big, heavy stone in my chest and the pain was so bad that I wasn’t sleeping well. It was stress. I was barely living, carrying the everyday stress and difficulties of my life. Then, I found this meditation. At that time, I started this study sincerely with the intention of getting even a little relief. Even though I have never practiced meditation, this method, made by Woo Myung, was very simple and fun to do. One of the things about this study that I enjoyed was that I could look back on myself. Since I was a child, I had so much inferiority that I always hated losing to others. My tendency was to focus on winning whenever I competed with others. This made my life very lonely because I was always uncomfortable around other people. And other people were uncomfort...

Teacher Woo Myung Message – Falseness And Reality

Falseness is what does not exist and reality is what does exist. The human mind world that man makes is false and the world is real. It is the way of the world that everything in the world comes from and returns to the origin, the source, or the original foundation. The origin is the only thing that is real. People are dead and false because they take pictures of the real world and live inside those pictures. Everything in the world came from the original foundation and is the original foundation whether it exists or not. Only the original foundation is real. Moreover, when everything in the world has been born in the true world which is the original foundation, it will all become real, eternal and without death. Only what is real is alive and what is false is dead and does not exist. – Woo Myung from < Stop Living In This Land, Go To The Everlasting World Of Happiness, Live There Forever >

Campbell Meditation Experience - After all these years, I have finally found God within Sue / Real Estates Agent / Cupertino / CA

After all these years, I have finally found God within Sue / Real Estates Agent / Cupertino / CA When I look back at my life, I realize how fortunate I was in so many respects. Among those many things I am so grateful for, I am most grateful that I have finally found God within me. Growing up in a stressful living situation where my parents fought almost daily, I would often lie in bed at night, and even before the age of 5 and I would ponder about why I had been born into such an unhappy family. I prayed to God every night – even though I didn’t know what God looked like or where God was – to please make it all stop somehow. I desperately wanted to be a happy, carefree child who wanted to be loved and feel accepted. And even at that tender age, I wanted to know the meaning and purpose of my existence. I wanted to know where people go to after they died, because truthfully, as unhappy as I was, I did not want to ever die. Growing up, I attended Cal...
