This powerful testimonial from Santa Clara Meditation shares how one person transformed years of resentment, pride, and conflict into understanding, humility, and harmony through this meditation.
💬 Meditation Testimonial: From Conflict to Harmony
By Kyung Hee L. | National Health Insurance Service
For over ten years, there was a female coworker I deeply resented.
No matter how hard I tried to control my mind, I couldn’t let go of those feelings.
The reason I was finally able to sincerely apologize to her—saying, “I’m truly sorry for how much I hurt you”—was because I came to realize deeply that everything had been my fault.
😔 Strong Pride Led to Constant Conflict
She was very surprised by my apology.
After that, our relationship improved significantly. More importantly, once the resentment disappeared, I felt an incredible sense of peace within myself.
This change happened after only about one month of practicing this meditation.
Throughout my work life, I had frequent conflicts with others.
I had a strong personality and firm opinions. I often challenged others and unintentionally hurt their pride, which led to constant friction and arguments with coworkers.
🌱 Seeing the Root Cause Through This Meditation
As I continued this meditation, I came to realize that all the problems in my relationships had been caused by me.
It was due to my strong ego and self-centered thinking—believing that I alone was right.
As I let go of that mindset, my personality gradually softened. I became able to control sudden emotions and impatience.
Naturally, my relationships improved.
🌿 The Wisdom of Saying “I’m Sorry”
Now, whenever a conflict arises, I immediately say, “I’m sorry.”
I’ve learned that the greatest wisdom in resolving conflict is to admit fault first.
When those words are spoken sincerely, the other person’s heart softens, and nothing negative remains between us.
🌱 A New Way of Living
In the past, this was not easy for me.
I believed so strongly that I was right that I never thought I could be wrong.
But that was only from my perspective.
I was completely trapped within my own mind, unable to understand others.
I used to think that admitting fault meant losing, so I would try to justify myself.
Looking back, that was truly foolish.
Now, I feel deeply grateful that I can say, “I’m sorry.”
🤝 Living with Connection and Gratitude
One day, I had a small conflict with a new employee.
I immediately said, “I don’t think I understood your perspective. I’m sorry.”
The employee responded, “Manager, it’s okay. I think I should try this meditation.”
In the past, I often felt lonely.
Now, I feel genuine human connection in my daily life.
I am truly grateful and happy to work with such wonderful people.
