I used to have problems with falling asleep and staying asleep, but since I started this meditation one year ago, I have completely forgotten about my insomnia. My nights are no longer full of nightmares.I sleep well – so well that I even oversleep at times. My life is now perfectly balanced and I have said my goodbyes to insomnia forever. What a game changer.

Emma Jeong
For many years, I had trouble with my sleep. While I lay awake in bed, my mind would wander everywhere and it would normally take me an hour or more each night to finally fall asleep. My sleep deficiency negatively negatively affected my work, my focus, and my mood so I tried various ways to improve my sleep.A few of these tweaks were:
1. Drinking warm milk before going to bed
2. Turning off all the lights to keep my room dark
3. Limiting screen use (phone, iPad, TV) while in bed
4. Keeping a daily routine
Although I felt a little better with these physical environment changes, they weren't enough to solve the root problem.It wasn’t until I started meditation that I realized that the root of the problem stemmed from my mind, not my body. I had been trying to make changes to my environment in order for my body to feel comfortable enough to sleep, when I should have been trying to find out how to stop my mind from wandering in the first place.
I realized that the places my mind would go were very unhealthy for me.
Regret - “I regret saying that to him today”
Inferiority - “What does he think about me?”
Fantasy Thinking - “I wish I could turn back time and take it back.”
Low Self Esteem - “I should have said this instead…”
Pride - “I’m so proud of the brilliant line I told my boss today.”
Complaints - “Wow, was she arrogant!”
Anger - “How could she say that to me in front of my boss?!”
I can’t imagine that I am the only one who has thoughts like these keeping them up at night. But with meditation, it was like that fog cleared away completely. It took time, but as I threw away these thoughts, I was able to fall asleep faster and faster. Nowadays, I fall asleep right away and I definitely could not have done this without meditation. Thank you!

Lucy Jihyun Lee
Owning a small business is difficult. There are many things that keep small business owners like myself up at night. And to be honest, sleeping is one of the first things that gets sacrificed when there are so many plates to juggle. I never really thought about making sleep a priority until many of my close relationships started to fall apart and until I started dozing off during important meetings. I could no longer hide how beyond exhausted and completely burned out I really felt. To add more insult to injury, my health was also taking a huge beat down. My immunity was so low that I would fall ill at least once a month.Even if I did manage to fall asleep, I would wake in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back asleep. I thought if I slept more, I would lose the company. And if I didn’t sleep, I would lose my friends, family, and employees.
I had nowhere to turn.
Fortunately, one of my friends reached out and introduced this meditation to me. She said she had been through a hard patch in her life recently and this practice helped her overcome her mental and physical issues. So, I decided to give it a try.
I want to say that this meditation truly saved me. I was in a desperate place and I easily could have lost everything in my life. But because of this method, I was able to mend my relationships and keep my company afloat. I’m able to sleep so well now that I tell everyone that I know to do this meditation.
Even in my dreams, I never expected that my life could change like this. My life now is perfectly balanced. I am as happy and successful as I have ever been. I ask you to reflect on your life and ask yourself, “what would you do to achieve your ideal life?” and if the answer is to sleep better and transform your life, then you’ve come to the right place.

SungHee Lee
Work has always come first in my life. My work day starts early in the morning until late at night. Unfortunately, because of my workaholic nature, my body suffered tremendously. I never worked out I never had time to cook, and I always had too little energy during the day. In my heart of hearts, I knew I had to start getting in shape, but with such little energy and time, I did not have the motivation.I felt helpless.
One day, after an especially difficult day of work, I felt pain in my chest. My doctor diagnosed me with a heart condition and told me I had to find ways to reduce the stress or my heart would fail. So I started practicing meditation because I was desperate to reduce my stress level. It is commonly said that “the origin of illness is in the mind”, but I never thought I would have learned this lesson so clearly after my near-death experience.
My meditation instructor helped me find all the things that were creating stress in my life… my clients, my family, my busy schedule, my pattern of negative thinking when it came to taking care of my body… and showed me how all of these minds were weighing me down and literally causing pain in my body.
If it is true that the mind and body are one, and that the origin of illness is the mind, then this meditation is learning how to become a surgeon and cutting out all the deep-rooted causes of disease rotting in your mind. Once you’ve had a chance to feel what it is like to surgically remove these negative thoughts permanently from the mind, you can never be the same. It is life changing and I am so grateful for the meditation, for my instructors, and for the other meditators who helped me through this incredible journey of self-discovery, defeating my workaholic nature, most importantly, improving my body condition.

Moving from South Korea to America as a teenager was a cultural shock to my system. Many of the values that I grew up learning in the East, for example - respecting elders at all times or following the boss’s instructions without question - were not values that my Western peers valued or cared for.These differences were apparent in all aspects of my life and made it difficult for me to connect with others.This meditation taught me that the changes I was going through in my environment did not have to hinder what was going on inside of me. I don’t know if people American born citizens can relate to my situation, but I’d like to share a list of the positive changes I saw from an immigrant’s point of view:
1. My frustration with “trying to fit in” and feeling “other than” disappeared
2. My anger that I felt for those who had taken advantage of me or patronized me completely resolved
3. My anxiety about speaking a foreign language decreased
4. I was no longer felt embarrassed when I could not remember a word in English or forgot how to say something
5. I was able to get rid of my sense of inferiority about being a “second class citizen” and I no longer questioned who I was
6. I stopped feeling homesick and depressed about being in a new place with no friendly faces
My anxiety about my future disappeared I no longer worry about what other people think of me or how I have to portray myself to the world
Daily stress decreased so I was finally able to quit smoking cigarettes and drinking Body aches and pains were relieved – especially the muscle tension on the right side of my body and constant migraines

My favorite quote is, “you cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness; the light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.” I love this quote
Namdae Lee
My favorite quote is, “you cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness; the light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.” I love this quote because I remember fighting against the darkness. Times that I struggled financially.Times that I fought with my loved ones. Times I ended a relationship and times they ended it.
It is simple, really. In times of struggle, I thought my lack of money, my family, and my ex’s were the enemy. That’s why I fought them so hard. But through meditation, my consciousness completely changed. I learned that all those struggles and fights were just a mirror reflecting the true enemy hidden in the darkness, my own ego.
Now, when a difficult situation arises or I start to feel a hint of disagreement surfacing up, I first pause to ask myself, “what is this person showing me?” If they are showing me my self-centered and selfish ego, I know that is not who I am, that it is a false illusion, and I immediately thank that person for shining a light on the ugliness that is my ego.
This has completely changed the way I see the world. Where I used to see darkness, all I see is positive light.

Yuna Sung
When I was a child, I watched helplessly as my father beat my mother. Growing up, I was tortured with the sound of my mother’s wails and I lived in constant fear of my father. One day, my mother whispered to me, “let’s just die together”. Hearing this from my mother’s soft voice traumatized me more than any of my father’s yelling because I knew my mother did not want to live anymore.I blamed myself for being the cause of my mother’s suffering. If it weren’t for me, my mother would not be married to a monster. I started questioning why I was born, why life was so unfair, and what kind of God would allow me and my mother to suffer so much?
I could not accept that this way of life was all there was to my existence, and when I was old enough, I set out to find the meaning of my life. At first, I wanted to find a way to heal from the trauma of my childhood. I tried years of therapy, but they did not work to remove the PTSD. Then I started this meditation.
The first time I enlightened clearly that “the universe is me”, I felt 30 years of agony melt away in a moment. And as I continued through the levels, I started to feel something I had never felt before – hope. I honestly do not have the adjectives to describe how amazing this meditation is. But what I can say is that all of the fear, trauma, suffering, and questioning that I had held onto growing up no longer existed inside of me. It is 100% gone. What a powerful method.

Michael Lindqvist
I suffered from anxiety attacks my entire life. I was always afraid of making mistakes or looking weak. Everything from being called out by a coworker to using the wrong choice of word, would trigger anxiety pains for days. I was jealous that everyone around me did not need to take themselves so seriously. They could so easily forget the awkward moments in their life, but my mind would re-play them over and over non-stop. The anxiety attacks got so bad in my thirties that I could no longer function normally and I realized that if I wanted my life back, I would have to actively put a stop to them.I read numerous self-help books and went to a psychologist. These tools helped a little but my attacks were still too overwhelming. It wasn’t until I started to meditate with the help of a professional instructor that I found the solution to my problem. First, I learned how to look within myself to find the triggers and the root cause of my anxiety. Through this reflection, I found that I had extremely high self-expectations and lived a life of perfectionism. The anxiety was brought on by the large gap between my expectation of the world and the reality of the world. My pride was hurt by the distance between these two realities.
Once I learned this about myself, the meditation allowed me to release it. With practice, I no longer fought the feelings of anxiety, but instead welcomed and accepted them in. What truly changed for me was when I had the revelation, “why should I be afraid of these feelings now that I have a way to deal with them?”. It was at that time that my shame, guilt, denial, fear and all the negative feelings that had been bottled inside for so long were finally able to be released.
I don’t need to be perfect anymore. I don’t need to be strong anymore. It has become easier for me to try new things. My mind has never felt lighter or clearer and I feel like a new person. I want others to know that it is possible to live a life where you are not controlled by your anxiety. If meditation worked for someone like me, it can definitely work for anyone. I can’t recommend it enough.

I grew up in an African society where it was taboo to discuss mental health issues. Nobody knew what depression was in those days and those who suffered from it, like my mother, were thought to be possessed.
Sheikha Msangi
I grew up in an African society where it was taboo to discuss mental health issues. Nobody knew what depression was in those days and those who suffered from it, like my mother, were thought to be possessed. After witnessing how society completely ignored my mother, I did everything I could to appear normal and happy all the time.I pushed myself to show off the image of my happiness by always smiling, going out clubbing with a large group of friends on the weekends, talking about movies and trending subjects, and making everyone laugh around me. On days that I was too tired to put up a show, I would make myself very busy at home or at work.
[No matter how much money I earned, or how many things I was buying, or how many girls I was dating, or how well I lived, the joy of these things was temporary and not something that lasted. There was no fulfillment. Inside I felt empty and incomplete. Something was missing. My heart was longing for that forever lasting happiness that never disappears!]
The truth was that even though I looked like the fun party girl that everyone wanted to be around, on the inside, I was lost. I would get easily upset at the smallest things. I felt a void in my life that all the friends, dinners, and concerts did not fill. When things didn’t go my way, I felt betrayed and wanted to blame others for it. And I was constantly overwhelmed by the gazillion thoughts in my head.
At last, I realized that deep down, I was the same as my mother… empty inside. I had just found ways to cope better than she did. So I decided I didn’t want to hide anymore, I wanted to really live the happiness I was showing off. One day, I found a website that said the one thing I wanted to do most in the world. This website said, “cleanse your mind”. It led me to a meditation center.
Through meditation, I was able to discard all the pressure I felt to fit in, to look the part of a normal and happy person, to stop seeking those temporary highs and chase what was not true happiness. I still hang out with my friends, but I no longer rely on them to fill my void. Through meditation, I was able to embrace myself.
It has freed me completely. I have gained mental strength and awareness. I am very positive without trying to be positive. I have found my true happiness within me, which is my true self. I enjoy every moment that life can offer. It is beautiful to breathe without worries, stress, and pain. I am truly happy now.

Mike Mihai
As a small boy, I asked big questions. I could never get a straight answer from my parents, teachers, or even the priest at my church for the question, “why am I here?”. As a young adult, I traveled the world in search of the answer to this question. It led me to many religions, gurus, shamans, clairvoyants, hypnotists, spiritual guides, and healers. They all talked about the path to enlightenment and finding Truth within me. But when I asked, “how can I find Truth inside of me?”, the various techniques and methods they taught never led to any real change.After searching for years, I realized that they spoke only about what they read from books and recited only what they had heard from others. None of them had really become Truth and my questions remained unanswered.
Why am I here? No one knew the answer; no one knew Truth or the way to Truth.
But I could not accept that there was no answer. One evening in Australia, I found a meditation center while on a late night walk. What really captivated my attention was that the meditation instructor explained everything I had studied from my 20-year search and packaged it in a 20 minute lecture. Ultimately, it ended with a promise that I would not have to memorize scripture to understand Truth, I would become Truth itself. The revelation that I could become the answer I was searching for itself was the reason I immediately signed up.
After only 2 weeks of practicing, I found one of the answers I had searched for all my life, “who am I?”. What. A. Miracle. I was hooked. At every level, I kept enlightening to more answers. After I completed all the levels, I experienced the thing that I had searched for so long. I knew the answer to why I was here and that is when my whole world shifted.
I want to make it clear that through this guided meditation, all my questions have been answered. I now live a life without stress, worries, pain or suffering. To describe what it is like is beyond my vocabulary. However, I encourage anyone who has ever had an existential crisis, to not waste 20 years in a futile search, and take the first step to sign up like I did. This works. Period.

Every year, Forbes publishes the top 400 richest people in America – called the Forbes 400 List. But I always wondered, where is the list for the top 400 happiest people? How is happiness measured? Who is happy and who isn’t?

Every year, Forbes publishes the top 400 richest people in America – called the Forbes 400 List. But I always wondered, where is the list for the top 400 happiest people? How is happiness measured? Who is happy and who isn’t? What makes them happy and unhappy? I have always wondered about the true meaning of happiness.I enrolled in a psychology degree to find the answer to these questions. I thought, I will study happy people and finally know the secret to becoming truly happy. I found that some countries were happier than others, but their overall GDP was much lower than the richest countries. Some people had life circumstances that made them happier, but not everyone fit into these hard drawn lines. A lot of people were actually pretty miserable.
The truth was there was no recipe for happiness. The answer was not more money, a bigger house, more expensive cars, higher status in society, marriage or single life, children or non-children, or any of the temporary joys that people search for. The more I studied, the more I realized that there is a strong connection between happiness and the mind.
That is when I started meditation. I figured that if I can’t find answers in the material world, then perhaps the non-material world will have some answers? And I’m happy to report that I was on the right track. The reason why you feel unfulfilled is because everything that you think will make you happy in this world is from your ego, also known as the false mind.
This false mind is the mind of hunger and greed. It can never be satiated. People talk about minimalism, but that is also false because even the mind of living minimally is a mind of hunger and greed in different wrapping paper. Enlightenment and happiness are achieved when there is no ego, no false mind, no hunger, no desire, no greed, and no selfishness. You may think that is impossible and even if it is possible, you still want the big house and the nice car.
That is the best part of this meditation. It doesn’t turn you into a monk living in the mountains. Because I can now live my life authentically, my career, my relationships, and even my financial status has completely changed for the better. There is nothing to stop me from living that life of luxury, I just don’t have the greedy mind that comes with it. It is truly freeing.
Don’t chase temporary materialistic happiness. It will always lead to emptiness and a feeling of incompletion. Throw away your selfish ego and live in a world that money cannot buy. Be truly happy!

Ellen Park
One of the reasons why so many people in this world cannot feel inner peace is because they hold on to worldly obsessions. Obsession can come in the form of love with regards to spouse or in the form of hate for an ex-spouse. It can come in the form of greed for people seeking wealth or status, or vanity for people seeking external beauty and attachments to their body. There are even people who have healthy habits but because they have such a strong attachment to being healthy, it becomes detrimental for them as an obsession. Whenever we seek too much of something, it can become an obsession. And as long as we are obsessed with that “something”, we can never have peace within.The sad truth is, the more you are obsessed with something, the harder it is to be satisfied with it. Think of your friend. The one that keeps talking about their ex. Although they may feel hatred for their ex, they can’t stop talking about them because that part of their brain is obsessed with them. This is what it means to live as a slave to your emotions. Obviously, your friend knows that this is an unhealthy person in their life and they know they should move on, but their minds have been over-taken by this thought, this obsession, and it cannot let go of the thought “what if?”
Repressing obsessive thoughts with therapy, medication, or willpower is futile. It does not work because those thoughts are still passively moving in the brain. They are not gone, just pushed down. With meditation, there is a way to stop pushing those thoughts down. There is a way to bring them to the surface and then completely set them free from the mind altogether. When we are free from the obsessive mind, we can truly achieve inner peace.
I too had my own obsessions. I had certain desires and wants which cycled through chronic obsessive patterns of thought. The best thing that ever happened to me was trying this meditation. I learned to stopped living as a slave to my emotions once I discarded my obsessions. My strong attachments gradually disappeared. My anxiety about money also disappeared. I finally found calmness and peace within.
The irony was that after I discarded my desire for money, without that attachment, it was easier for me to make more money and achieve things I was not able to achieve before. Now is the time for you and I to live free from obsession. There is no reason to live with an obsessive mind that prevents us from achieving what we can achieve. And that one friend, tell him or her to do it too!

Jiyoon Sung
I struggled with social anxiety for a long time. Even ordering pizza by phone was an ordeal. Before dialing in to the pizzeria, my hands would start sweating and I would take a few deep breaths. As I waited, many thoughts would run through my mind. “One large Hawaiian, one medium Pepperoni…wait, was it the other way around? And what about drinks? Right, sprite! But wait, what size sprite did mom want? Oh no, I forgot to ask…”By this point, if the guy picked up, I would hang up immediately in a panic. I was not able to face a stranger without all the information on hand. This type of social anxiety was debilitating. With each new interaction, I would get more frustrated at myself for not responding as fast or as competently as I wanted others to perceive me. I felt like a basket case all the time.
Finally, after a particularly embarrassing day, I agreed to go with my parents to the meditation center they practiced at. Through meditation, I realized that my social anxiety was caused by my chronically low self-esteem and a desperate need for approval, which came from the life that I lived. I had the quiet time I needed to calmly reflect on myself and discard all of those ‘pictures’ of my life lived.
I now work as a meditation instructor, which requires me to meet with total strangers every day. I give presentations in front of groups of people and I interact with them without any anxiety. I can genuinely say that I am excited to meet people now.
For those who are suffering from social anxiety, I just want to say… take a deep breath, relax, and take a step back to observe yourself. Instead of obsessing over the problem, take a look at where it came from. Meditation is the tool that will help you do so.

In nursing school, I was educated on the clinical definition of depression from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders which includes “depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, an increase or decrease in appetite, a slowing of thought and reduction of physical movement, fatigue or loss of energy, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, indecisiveness, and recurrent suicidal thoughts”. But when I personally experienced depression years later, these were not just words in a manual to me.My depression manifested as a surprise to me since I always worked hard and lived well. In the beginning, I lost interest in the things that had once brought me joy. Later in my condition, I lost my motivation for everything. Nothing mattered to me anymore. I didn’t care about living, eating, my personal hygiene, or the fact that I had a loving family. I felt completely alone in the universe without any hope.
A lot of people who suffer from depression are trapped in their disease, so I knew from my medical background that if I did not defeat this disease, I would die from it. That fear of death led me to start meditation. With the help of my meditation instructor, I started to accept my condition.
That little voice inside me changed from “I don’t want to live anymore” to “I can see that you are going through a difficult time right now. That’s okay. You don’t have to do anything if you don’t feel like doing anything at the moment. No matter what others may think, what you are feeling right now isn’t wrong. It doesn’t mean you’re different. I’m here to tell you that you need some rest. It’s okay to take a step back and just watch other people walk ahead.”
This shift in attitude has made all the difference in the world. I have been able to see that all the enemies in my mind are actually opportunities for self-reflection and growth. I am so grateful for this meditation that I can finally see hope again and I have the tools to see all positives and negatives in my life as a gift, rather than a curse. Thank you!

Sun Young Kim
In the beginning, I was easily able to eliminate the immediate thoughts that rose up in mind. These thoughts bothered me, but they were shallow thoughts. As time went on, I had more trouble discarding the heavier clouds in my mind such as depression, inferiority, guilt, social phobia, and suicidal thoughts. I could not follow the method well, so I kept asking questions. Fortunately, I had a few great instructors who were able to guide me through that tumultuous time. There are no words to express how grateful I am that I was able to remove these dark clouds through this method.And I truly thank all the instructors who were patient with me and let me go through the process on my own time. My mind is completely different after this meditation and I am so positive now. Thank you so much!

Kashvi Anand
I was born in New Delhi, India, to a devout Hindu family. I grew up with a very conservative and strict father who would anger me frequently, but I learned to repress my feelings at a young age. When I was 21 years old, I immigrated to the United States. When I arrived, I had a rough time transitioning from life in India because of racial discrimination and cultural differences. Although I had repressed my feelings for many years, the massive amount of resentment and anger that I felt could no longer be contained. I inevitably misdirected my negativity towards my husband and my child.This negative mindset was not how I wanted to live, but I could not find an escape. It was only after I came across a book written by teacher Woo Myung and started this meditation practice that I learned a deep and dark secret. I learned that my mind was just like a trash can that collects all sorts of garbage ‘minds.’
When I realized that, I felt as if I had come back to life.
I had practiced other meditation styles in my life, but no other method helped me to change. Instead of focusing on the “Chakras” in my body, I was able to see the root of my negative mind, pick up all that garbage, and completely remove it. This was the escape. It was exactly what I was looking for. With time, I felt free and I saw myself changing every day.
As I meditated more, I felt sorry for my family. I felt sorry that I caused them stress and pain, so I introduced this meditation to all of them. My entire family now meditates with me. We live every day with happiness and gratitude.
This meditation is an incredible study of the mind. Everyone should start this meditation and see for themselves. It is an amazing practice and it will truly change your mind.

I grew up in an unhappy family. As a young boy, I would constantly find my parents arguing with each other after school. Because of this unhealthy dynamic, I never thought of my house as a home, just a place where two people who hated each other would fight.Over the years, my parents grew more and more apart. They had become such different people that they could no longer see eye to eye on anything. One was a liberal Democrat and the other was a staunch Republican. One believed in Christianity and the other was an Atheist. They could never agree on anything.
It was tough finding stability in a house filled with so much resentment. All I wanted was both my parents’ approval and love, but if I catered to one, I would be rejected by the other. It was like living on a relationship minefield.
Later in life, this deep desire for approval grew out of control. I needed to be loved, recognized and trusted by everyone around me. I became a people pleaser. A YES man. I became an entrepreneur because I thought I would gain the acceptance of my graduate school classmates through wealth. I went to church so I could gain the acceptance of my community and neighborhood through faith. I thought that if I could tiptoe through life as I had tiptoed through my childhood, that I could eventually feel fulfillment, because I would gain the acceptance that I had lacked in my youth.
Of course, as one can deduce, this was not a realistic or healthy way to live any sort of life. I was fed up with the person that I had become. That is when I started meditating.
Now in my 50’s, I’ve never been in such a healthy relationship with myself. Until this meditation, I did not know the driving force behind my behaviors, but as you have just read, I am able to explain the “story of me” in a very thoughtful and logical way, without embarrassment or shame. I can admit now that I wanted to be a business owner for all the wrong reasons. I only cared about recognition and quick success, not achieving the goal to help my customers. That is why I failed so many startup companies. I can also admit that my attendance at church was mainly spurred by selfish wants of being treated by the warmth of others, and not because I was trying to save my soul.
Without meditation, I would still be pandering to the whims of others and failing to find approval in the world. But now, I have thrown away that old self and I have come to accept and love my True self. Even after only 2 months of meditating, people have told me how much happier I seem and how they’ve seen changes in my thinking, my behaviors, and my habits.
I can see the changes too. I no longer have to wander back and forth in search of love, recognition, and success. I am so grateful to this meditation. This method works and everyone should do it. In fact, I’m heading to the meditation center right now to work on myself even more. Hope to see you there!
