How quickly can a naturally optimistic person become overwhelmed by a difficult year? When we face continuous hardships, it is incredibly easy to lose our light and fall into a spiral of negative thoughts. We unconsciously build up prejudices, fixed ideas, and heavy emotions based on these painful experiences. These accumulated “pictures” cloud our judgment, keeping us chained to the past and preventing us from seeing reality as it truly is. But what if you could clear away that mental fog and reclaim your authentic, positive outlook?
In this post, two practitioners share how mind subtraction meditation helped them release deep-seated negativity and discover a fresh perspective on life. A 25-year-old shares how he shed the prejudices and fixed ideas he had carried since birth, ultimately finding profound peace and the ability to think positively again with the help of a supportive community. Meanwhile, a 36-year-old reflects on how letting go of his heavily negative past allowed him to see reality correctly, transforming him into an energetic and deeply positive person.
Read their inspiring stories to discover how emptying your mind can help you stop clinging to the past and build a truly positive, clear mindset.
💬 Story 1: “I can think positively again”
By Jeong Ji-hoon / Age 25 / Level 1
First of all, there were many difficult things this year, and while I, who used to have a positive mindset, was suffering a lot from having negative thoughts, I came through the recommendation of people around me and my own will.
My mindset when I first came was that the air is nice, there’s nothing to worry about if I come here, and I felt I could organize my thoughts. But the moment I saw the schedule, ah… I thought it would be hard. At first, I also wondered what this place was, but listening to the first lecture, hearing words that seemed understandable yet not, I was confused. However, repeating the lectures and meditation, as I gradually understood what they were trying to do here, I tried focusing as guided and also slept a ton.
“What I felt was that through emptying my mind, I gained a new perspective to see the world, and I realized that the thoughts and minds I had consumed from birth until now were prejudices and fixed ideas I had photographed in my mind as I pleased, and that they were fake.”
As for what has changed, first I became able to think positively again, and unlike the pressure I felt in the city, my psychological state was very peaceful and I could think good thoughts. Above all, if I had meditated alone, I would have given up quickly and couldn’t have finished to the end. If it weren’t for the fellow meditators, assistants, and the main helper who helped me.

💬 Story 2: “Knowing how to see reality correctly, with a positive mindset~”
By Lee Jun-gwon / Age 36 / Level 1
After learning the meditation, I definitely learned where I came from and where I am going. Starting subtraction, I felt that the life I’ve lived so far was filled with a tremendous amount of negative life rather than positive. I was able to see the negative aspects of my mind a lot.
“I also learned how to think positively in all aspects of negative situations, people, or events, and the fact that when my mind becomes the universe mind, I always become an energetic, positive person.”
It is good to have learned a way to always see reality correctly without clinging to the past.
