Jeong Yoosun | Seoul, South Korea
Hello, everyone. I’m Yoosun Jeong, 47, from White Jade Meditation Center in Seoul, South Korea.
I had a chronic internal carotid artery occlusion, starting in 2002. It was an acquired condition. My vessels were malformed and very fragile. As a result, I was at risk of dying from cerebral hemorrhage or stroke.
I experienced severe headaches even before I was diagnosed. Imagine your temples being drilled; that’s how painful it was. On a scale of 1 to 10, I think my pain was 8 or 9. It was so painful I couldn’t do anything. No medication could control the pain. The most I could do was fight it with willpower alone.
(For how long were you living like this?)
It started in 2002, so, 19 years, I guess. It happened around 7 times a week; each attack lasted for about 10 hours. I was always worried because I couldn’t predict when an attack would strike. I’d throw up, and my body would feel totally emptied.
I also had psoriasis on my face and neck. My body temperature would rise to 40 degrees Celsius, leaving my face with pus-filled blisters. My face would swell up, resembling a fighter’s face after a match. The swelling was so bad that I couldn’t open my eyes. I’d be admitted to the hospital and would be given intravenous (IV) drips for a week. It took only a minute to mess up my face. My confidence sank, and I didn’t feel like socializing. I couldn’t work, so I resigned in 2017.
I found out about Bodhi Meditation in 2019. I felt less tired thanks to practicing meditation. That was the first thing that got me interested. Whenever I was free, I’d practice The Meditation of Greater Illumination (GI) and Energy Bagua. As I practiced more, I finally experienced some relief from my illnesses. Feeling relaxed was impossible before that. I felt relaxed inside out thanks to GI and chanting. I can let go of all my troubles; I feel great inside and out.
Since the beginning of 2022, the frequency and intensity of my headaches decreased. In the past, they’d strike about 5 days a week, and the pain was akin to my temples being drilled. I haven’t had a headache for a year now, and no more temple-drilling pain.
The problem had been haunting me for 20 years; the doctor said I’d be living with it forever, and it has miraculously healed. Unbelievable. My new tests reveal nothing serious; my headaches have healed, and my head feels clear too. Without headaches, every day is a good day.
My psoriasis has gone too; my skin looks healthy now. It was hard having to pretend to be confident previously. Now I feel confident even with just a normal outfit. It’s like a dream come true, unbelievable.
Those who listen to my story might find it unbelievable. I really don’t know how can I repay this debt. I have only gratitude toward Grandmaster JinBodhi.
(Note: The effects of meditation vary from person to person.)
