As of May 15th, in the United States, the confirmed COVID-19 cases reached 1.5 million and the death toll exceeded 90,000. In the state of New York alone, there were 357,000 COVID-19 confirmed cases and 28,000 deaths including New York City, so they’re making efforts to prepare mental health measures for citizens. 
NYC Media TV, which is the official broadcasting network of New York City, introduced meditation as a measure for caring for the body and mind during the COVID-19 pandemic; the meditation they introduced is known as originating in Korea and it is attracting attention. 
‘That’s So New York’, a TV program that showcases New York’s culture and events, sheds light on meditation, yoga, indoor exercise, and dance with the title of ‘Ways to Stay Active Indoors’. What impressed New Yorkers in this short three-minute video was the free online meditation offered by NYMeditationTV.
New York Meditation’s free online classes are offered every Wednesday 6PM and Saturday 4PM for people who feel stress and anxiety due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the classes are receiving great acclaim. These classes are introduced to New Yorkers living in social distance and at home and for the health of their mind and body.
Furthermore, as it became known that this meditation started in Korea, following the ‘K-pandemic prevention’ the ‘K-meditation’ is also attracting attention in the prevention of stressful mind. This is insightful meditation to look back on yourself and subtract the mind that was founded by Woo Myung in Korea and now they educate in 50 countries around the world. There are 6 meditation centers in New York alone – Brooklyn, Flushing, Bayside, Long Island, Jackson Heights and Plainview.
In the broadcast, it was mentioned,“Before the pandemic, just walking to work could burn a lot of calories. However, as the city stops, New Yorkers need to be more creative to stay healthy. Therefore, maintaining health now is more important than ever. Let’s get started right now!”
NYC Media TV is New York City’s official broadcast network and media production group, operating four public television channels, including the TV station NYC Life.

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...

Campbell Meditation Column – How to live well

Campbell Meditation Column – How to live well Such words as ‘stress’ and ‘depression’ are overused these days. Everyone seems to live with unsolved questions of life and a void that can never be filled no matter how much you try to fill it. There is nowhere you can truly rest; loneliness chases you everywhere and people endlessly search for and obtain something to fill up and soothe the mind. What everyone pursues will eventually be never-changing happiness. It would be truly resting without any worries even for a moment… Happiness – true rest – really sounds like an unreachable goal that is difficult for us who are living in this generation. Can I ever become happy? Can I really live well? Within the endless burden and pain of the mind, it might be fearful and dreadful to live every day. The moment a day ends, you sigh that you have endured a day. The moment a new morning starts, you might barely open your heavy eyes and be at a loss about how you can endure today. Joy happe...

Campbell Meditation Column – Your Happiness Matters

Campbell Meditation Column – Your Happiness Matters People are born into the world, live their life and depart. On average, human’s life span is seventy to eighty years. People age and become old. That person eventually dies. It is said that there is no exception in death. Life has a definite end one day; it is the principle of the world that a human is born and dies one day, just like parting is “waiting” after meeting. Then, in this one precious life, ask yourself, “do you live a happy life now?” Some people might say that their life is too busy and tough to even answer such a question. However, this is indeed a very important question. There is a seventy-year-old old man in my neighborhood. That man told me with a somber face that he was a very good looking man when he was seventeen years old and he felt like it was only yesterday. He woke up today and had become a wrinkled old man with no energy. For him, his life passed by in the blink of an eye. If you live so busily n...
