As I meditated, the right side of the body relaxed and there was a release in the tightness. The severe pain in the right side of my brain, which had until now felt like a splitting headache, subsided. Many of the things that made me angry were resolved and my anxiety decreased immensely. I had also developed a habit of continuously forgetting things, but much of that disappeared too. Last, but not least, much of my questions about my identity, my sense of inferiority which I had always wondered about, and my anxiety about the future disappeared.

A lot of my depression disappeared. All this time, I had been really hurt because of the people around me and by others who had taken advantage of me. Much of that pain has disappeared, and I also don’t worry about other people’s gazes or prejudices. In addition, as I lived in a foreign country for many years, I experienced a lot of cultural shocks, struggled and was hurt due to circumstances as a foreigner. But a lot of that has disappeared. As I lived abroad, I stagnated in my identity as a Korean and felt somewhat left behind. And in the meantime, due to unavoidable circumstances, I worked on pretending and packaging myself in a certain way, but that too has greatly disappeared. I also quit smoking cigarettes and drinking.

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 Poem – The Life You Lead

The Life You Lead If you were to ask me what this life is that you are living, I would tell you that there is no Truth in that life. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is one of Truth, I would tell you that your burdens are heavy. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is exciting, I would tell you that you are dreaming an exciting dream within a dream. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is an exhausting one, I would tell you to let go of your useless greed. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is nonsensical, I would tell you that there is no such thing as life or death. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is wrong, I would tell you that it is because you have an attachment and greed for life. If you were to tell me that the life you are leading is savory, I w...

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...
