📖 Introduction

When negative emotions hit and our minds feel unbearably heavy, we often turn to self-help books, psychology articles, and philosophical theories. We try to intellectually understand how to “control” our thoughts, mimicking the methods we read about. But in the heat of a stressful moment, those ideological theories usually fall apart. What if the answer isn’t about suppressing or controlling your heavy mind, but simply subtracting it step by step?

In this post, two individuals share their breakthroughs in dealing with negative thoughts. One finally found the practical, ultimate solution after years of relying on books, while the other learned to stop suppressing her mind out of fear and simply let it go.

Read their stories to discover how stepping away from theories and taking practical action can bring true human completion and a genuine smile.

💬 Story 1: 📚 “The Ultimate Solution to Controlling the Mind, Finally Found!”

By Cho Jun-hwan / Age 36 / Level 1

Living my life until now, whenever negative feelings arose like ‘my mind is heavy’ or ‘my mind is struggling’, I lived not knowing how to control this mind or how to turn it into a good mind.

“I merely understood ideologically the methods of controlling the mind found in books and tried to imitate them, but I never found the ultimate solution.”

Coming here to this meditation, although I am still at the introductory stage, I feel gracious as I seem to have fully realized the reality of my mind and found the path to achieving human completion. I am grateful to all the connections that allowed me to start this meditation with a thankful heart.

💬 Story 2: 🧗‍♀️ “You Just Need to Subtract Step by Step”

By Seo Mi-na / Level 1

When meditating at the local center, I didn’t have an accepting attitude. So when the guides explained the method and during lectures on concepts, I couldn’t understand and didn’t hear them. Now the concepts are organized, and I know how to do it a little more easily.

I roughly knew to some extent what kind of minds were inside me through the local meditation, but I lacked courage, so I kept suppressing them.

“Now I know that I don’t have to be afraid or scared, and that I just need to subtract step by step.”

I learned that by thinking positively, I can spend each day positively. When I smile first, the other person smiles too.
