Brooklyn Meditation uses mind cleansing method using visualization.
Mind cleansing practice is a meditation that allows you to throw away the negative mind, it is a method that helps you release and empty your mind. If the sand settles in muddy water, the water looks clear at that moment, but if you stir, it becomes dirty again, so the mind is the same.
The water and soil must be scooped out and the bucket emptied in order to be filled with fresh water. If I let go of everything in me, I can regain my true nature, my true nature.
From birth, people put into their mind what they see, hear, and experience with their five senses. It is stored in the mind as if it were a photo. Our memories and past experiences are like these photos that are fake replica of the past and is not real but it is stored in the mind as real.
Throwing away this fake picture is the basic principle of our Mind Cleansing Practice.

Many meditative practices comes from specific spiritual traditions however, this meditation is somewhat new. This project started in 1996 after an ordinary man named Woo Myung reached full enlightenment. What first started as one meditation class consisting of ten students in November of 1996, later developed into a complete program.
Since that time Teacher Woo has worked for the past nearing three decades developing different techniques (later established into the 7 steps) trying to perfect a method so others could reach a state of completion. Throughout the years as the different techniques were developed, students could reach various enlightenments.
While the founder provides a standard guide (i.e. manuals etc.) and guidance to the meditation centers when needed, the centers around the world run independently from him. Instead, this is emerging by hardworking people from all over the globe trying their best to share this message of hope with others as a result of their own positive and transformational experiences.
Please visit the "method" page on the website to find out more regarding the various steps and process of the meditation.
We do not offer the option to attend just one class nor come as a drop-in. The reason is because our method is unique and our center is also similar to martial a arts school: i.e we have a step-by-step program, made with the purpose of advancing with the discipline (akin to becoming a black belt in meditation!).

Starting May, we will be having open meditation at Prospect park as part of Prospect Alliance's Spring and Summer 2023 program.
The meditation was finalized as a complete program in 2012 and has grown into an international project spanning 41 countries. This method is special because what has been sought by all spiritual, mystical and philosophical traditions throughout the history of humankind: a return to the origin, the state of completion, or oneness is a reality. Now it is possible for everyone to recover their original nature.
The most revolutionary aspect of the meditation is that it has the possibility of leading to the achievement of world peace because a return to the origin, the state of completion or oneness is achievable. After one has achieved human completion one lives for others, only then is peaceful co-existence possible.
