Oh Sejong | Seoul, South Korea
I am Oh Sejong from Korea’s White Jade Bodhi Meditation Center. I benefited immensely from this Bodhi Meditation Health and Happiness Retreat and would like to highlight three of my major takeaways.
Firstly, about six months ago, I began to suffer from frequent urination. I always had the feeling of not fully emptying my bladder each time I used the bathroom. This condition caused much inconvenience in my daily life. I started avoiding drinking too much water and refrained from staying out for extended periods. Even so, I still experience urinary incontinence. This made me feel embarrassed, I always rushed to the restroom afraid I’d lose control. As a result, I have to visit the restroom every thirty to forty minutes. During the night, I would wake up at least four times to use the restroom.
Doctors informed me that lifelong medication would be necessary to control my condition. However, my kidneys were damaged previously due to medication treatment, so I refused this approach. Instead, I wanted to try improving my health through meditation.
Surprisingly, on the very first day of the retreat, the frequency of my urination decreased. I found myself needing to use the restroom only twice that morning, and just as infrequently that night, a significant decrease from the four to five times a night before. By the morning of the second day, my need to visit the restroom had further decreased to just once. The frequency of urination reduced and has maintained at that level since then. I can feel that Grandmaster JinBodhi’s energy blessing is very powerful.
Additionally, fifteen years ago, I fell while playing soccer in the snow, resulting in a ruptured ligament and two fractures in my right ankle. With this old injury, I shouldn’t walk too much. However, due to my kidney problems, the doctor suggested that I walk at least 10,000 steps every day. The excessive walking would cause my ankle to swell up at night and I would have to apply anti-inflammatory cream before bed.
On the sixth day of the retreat, when the Grandmaster was giving the energy blessing, I felt an electric current passing through me. When I was preparing to apply the medication before bed that night, I saw that my ankle wasn’t swollen at all! I thought this was just a temporary effect after receiving the energy blessing, but surprisingly, the swelling in my ankle didn’t return, even till now. Amazingly, the old injury from fifteen years ago was healed through a single energy blessing session from Grandmaster!
The last benefit I received was a change in my mindset. During the retreat, my mentality underwent a significant transformation. As an office worker, attending an eight-day class wasn’t an easy decision, but I took the resolve to ask for leave from my company. Through this retreat, I had a complete shift in perspective. I used to think that I only needed to practice meditation when I was free. But after attending this retreat, I realized that health is the most important thing. So, I will definitely be more diligent in my practice from now on.
I’m deeply grateful to Grandmaster JinBodhi!
