Brooklyn Meditation

Pam and CJ teach a unique, accessible approach to meditation that resonated with me right away. In the six months I’ve been coming here I’ve noticed a marked difference in my outlook, attitude and general peace of mind. Also just a really nice space to spend time in; everyone is very kind, welcoming and non-judgmental - probably because they all meditate so much.

I joined the Brooklyn Meditation family about eight months ago, and it has been enormously helpful to me in many ways, some of which I could not have anticipated. The method is simple and effective. The fact that there are numerous session times available throughout the week, both in person and online, makes it easy to establish stable routine, even in the face of competing demands, which is I think very helpful. The method does, in my experience, work better if you’re able to maintain a steady engagement. And while the road that you start down, when you begin this method, appears to be a long one, I have found that every step along the way there is a new insight and I find myself feeling free and more resilient. The Brooklyn helpers are present and available, and appear to be able to keep track of each members progress and status. They are clearly very committed to this mission and their confidence and enthusiasm is infectious.

The meditation method was simple, easy, and clear, providing me with an escape from my depressed mind. It helped me navigate my complex, gloomy, and heavy thoughts in a straightforward manner. I've tried religion and various methods to alleviate my heavy heart, but nothing seemed to work. I realized that no one else can live my life or solve my problems for me. However, I'm grateful that I was able to learn this meditation method at the center, which allowed me to empty and lighten my mind step by step. I regret not finding this solution earlier, but I'm thankful for the opportunity to practice it now. I highly recommend this meditation center and dedicating a little time each day to learning this method. It can help you lead a better life :) You should try for you!! It is worthy for yourself! I totally bet!!

I was feeling overwhelmed with stress and looking for a way to quiet my mind. The guided sessions here provided the perfect space for me to slow down, reflect, and find inner peace. The instructors are incredibly kind and knowledgeable, making meditation accessible even for beginners like me.

Atop my previous review, I am happy to add that my meditation at bklynmeditation is continuing to go very well. I am truly grateful for this welcoming community. Why doesn’t life come with an instruction manual? How amazing it would be to have one. I tended to overthinking and anxiety, until a friend recommended meditation. I started meditating informally about ten years ago and about three years ago, I noticed the bklynmeditation center, and took my meditation practice to the next level. This place has the instruction manual I was looking for. Bklynmeditation is a school that has helped me learn how to meditate in an effective manner in order to achieve inner peace and joy while living. How fortunate to have a source of encouragement and support throughout all of life's events, especially through the challenging experience of a pandemic. The center is a welcoming place. Professional guides are readily available to teach a detailed method of discarding burdensome thoughts. I followed this method diligently, and have steadily shed worrisome thoughts. My knowledge and joy continue to increase. The guidance has been supportive and inspirational. I know that I can always ask for advice and support, and the center has served me well. It has been an invaluable investment, for myself, and for the benefits it has enabled me to bring to my family, friends, and the world. The bklnmeditation center has given me a toolbox that I have at my disposal all the time. I see my awareness skills increasing with every encounter, and my meditation practice continues to show me how to live more mindfully, with less burden and more joy. Conflict may never disappear, however with the center I have the resources to help me discard burdens and live a more joyful life. Prior to this meditation method, I was quite burdened by stubborn expectations and was constantly judging. Everyone was to blame. For instance, instead of seeing a crowded shop as a crowded shop, I saw a crowd of people all trying to cut me in line. Now, I can see a crowded shop as just a crowded shop: It is noon and there are 20 people in a small space (nothing more – nothing less). I am learning to see the world more truthfully. My mind was so critical and I was burning myself out. It was exhausting. I am so grateful that I now have a more peaceful mind. This has benefited me and those around me. I am so thankful to bklynmeditation center, and I am thankful for all the help it offers to present and future members. (3/24/2022) Following is my review from 2019: I needed a meditation community and I found it at Brooklyn Meditation in Park Slope. This center is based on a South Korean meditation method of discarding stored illusory “pictures” to reveal the true and one universe that lies within. The center is very comfortable, with available teachers who are very welcoming and offer ongoing support and guidance. It’s so worth the investment... I have constant one on one guidance and support and always have an available meditation location to go for meditation. Appointments and meditation spots are abundant and staff promptly responds to texts.
