Meditation Subtraction Method

10 posts in this topic

Anyway I was at my gym Today and there were people there passing out flyers for a meditation method called subtraction meditation. It seemed so similar to what @Leo Gura was talking about. Subtracting everything to find out that your mind creates a fake world and you can become ego less by subtracting all of it. They talked about all the pictures and everything like that that your mind takes. So I didn't mind and I checked it out and they told me guided meditation works way better than your average run of the mill meditation because it's guided. What happened after that is they said that a full month session would be $150 so I said I was strapped for cash and just ended up paying $50 just to have two sessions to see what it's like. 

Then I got home and googled subtraction method of meditation and I was frightened. Seemed like the found Woo Myung is pretty shady. It talked about the method of meditation being Muam meditation and it's just some kind of shady cult. Do you guys know anything about guided meditation or a subtraction method of meditation and if it works or not? Please let me know I'm new to this and don't want to get caught up in anything too horrible. What they said though at the gym sounded a lot of like what Leo's message was about on Actualized.org but, I'm afraid that this meditation group might be cultish so I could really use some input.

No, first time I hear. That's why I do my guided meditations as @Toby suggests. We no longer need real life, we have the internet :D

Mooji's guided meditation is really good. But I haven't done many. Right now I am going to do the one Toby linked. Basically any guided meditation by a reputable enlightenment master is supposed to be good. And free!

I like that one: http://www.soundstrue.com/store/guided-meditations.html. You get 8 guided meditations for 15$ which is pretty good. Also the meditations are very good and their explanations are really straightforward. The meditation-video I posted is from an earlier package ("True Meditation").

Never heard of it. I wouldn't attend any groups that you don't feel good going to. Paying money for groups or satsangs or retreat-days... that's perfectly fine imo. I myself would only pay 25$ for a session if the group-leader is "enlightened". If it's just some meditation group I would never pay more than 10$.

@Toby Technically he passed all the Subtraction meditation training and said he felt great because of it and I paid that $50 for 2 sessions so I'll see what happens. If I see that it's not fit to my standards I wont continue.
