📖 Introduction
There are moments in life when the weight of our stress becomes so unbearable that giving up seems like the only option. We try medications, we try to numb the pain, but the heavy heart remains. However, sometimes a single shift in perspective—realizing that the painful stories in our minds are just illusions—can spark a miracle that heals not only ourselves but our entire family.
In this post, a mother shares her raw and powerful story of hitting rock bottom. Ready to leave everything behind, a sudden realization at a meditation center changed the course of her life.
Read her incredible journey of stepping back from the edge of despair, overcoming decades of physical and emotional pain, and bringing laughter back to her teenage sons.
💬 Story: 💙 “I Decided to Depart This Life… Then I Saw a Blue Sign”
By Jurae Kim / Age 48 / Level 7
One day when I decided to depart this life because the world that only gave me stress was too hard, I suddenly raised my head and saw a blue sign that said “This Meditation” right in front of me. “Alright, let’s just go there once and then depart,” I went to this meditation with a frozen heart. The moment the helper explained the mind world and pictures, and tore off the “transparent film” with a rip!, I was startled.
“Realizing that the story that tormented me my whole life was a ‘picture’, a fake, and didn’t exist, I immediately registered and started meditating.”
I threw away all the pills I used to take by the handful 3 times a day, and the back pain that sent me to the ER, and the diarrhea I had for over 30 years also improved. The alcohol I used to gulp down to relieve my heavy heart didn’t go down my throat anymore. Seeing my changing appearance, my middle school 3rd-grade and elementary 6th-grade sons asked.
“Mom, if you do this meditation, does your mind become white?” I answered. “Yeah, do you guys want to try it too?”
So they went to the youth camp and changed a lot. We now laugh and talk about the hole-punched traces from hitting every door with their fists due to clashes of opinion during puberty. Smiles started blooming in the house. Diligently meditating amidst my husband’s cheering, I am preparing for the day we meditate together.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
