I've done this 'subtraction' meditation for almost one year. I can't say enough about it. As humans, we keep adding everything we see, hear, feel, taste, & smell into our minds as pictures. The emotions and thoughts tied to these pictures are stored in the mind, but almost never, ever discarded. This results in humans constantly suffering - feeling pain and burden. We're often unhappy, always looking for something more. This guided subtraction meditation scientifically helps people eliminate layers and layers of pictures to find their true, original minds. I'm very happy to discard my false human mind and strive for universe mind. During the process, I'm discarding my anxieties, anguish, frustrations. I feel more accepting of circumstances beyond my control. I feel more serene, and I have much more clarity. I will continue this study indefinitely. Every single person who tries this practice will only benefit. 9/3/15 addendum - When I started this meditation, I was often easily irritated, annoyed, or frustrated with life's challenges and everyday incidents. I was showing my negative mind...especially with Honolulu's taxi drivers. I saw them often breaking the law & having no regard for other drivers. They would cut me off in traffic & I'd want to go into a mini rage. If I were a pedestrian in the crosswalk, they would practically run me over so that they could get through the green light - which we both had. They did not observe the law that they are required to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk. One day, a few months into this meditation practice, I had an awakening. I suddenly realized that I didn't see taxi drivers anymore. I just don't see them anymore. Isn't this the best result?
