Spiritual experiences responding to my mindset
The following are stories of marvelous experiences that practitioners from JeungSanDo Dojangs around the country have had during their Taeeulju Mantra and dynamic meditations.

Initiation ceremony
I had a series of experiences when I was initiated in Jeung San Do and offered a Cheondosik. Let me share these experiences.
On the night of the initiation ceremony, I dreamed that I was staying in the dojang. Then, many practitioners came in and congratulated me for being a JSD Ilkkun. At one point when I was practicing meditation, a blue light repeatedly appeared and disappeared. At another point, a snow-covered white mountain came into view. It was so vivid that I found delight in seeing the mountain.
Cheondosik
I also had an experience while I was preparing to offer the cheondosik. The ritual was originally scheduled to take place in November, 2015. But due to circumstances beyond control, the rite was pushed back to January, 2016. I had a dream around that time. I was having dinner with my late parents. As I began to eat with my spoon, my father took my bowl of rice and said, “Do not eat.” And he walked into the corner of the room and ate it. It seemed that he was angry over the delayed cheondosik.
Devoted meditation
Before offering the cheondosik, I decided to begin devoted meditation for 21 days. I decided to go to the dojang everyday after work, offer fresh water–I could get water from a nearby mineral spring–and practice meditation from the seventh of January. But I felt too lazy to keep the promise so I changed my mind, deciding to offer fresh water at home instead. Then, on the night of January 6, I dreamed that I was performing the offering of cheongsu at the dojang. I failed to hold on to the lid of a bowl of cheongsu and it fell to the floor and was partially broken. There was a middle-aged woman next to me pointing toward a mineral spring, saying “The water is good there.” I looked in the direction she indicated, and saw the Muryegol mineral spring was located there. The spring is regarded as the best one in Pocheon when it comes to water quality. I was really amazed. From the next day onwards, I began to get water from there and offer it in the dojang.
I also had an experience when I was in the period of devoted meditation. I dreamed that there was a great party held in a house. In one of the rooms of that house there were some middle-aged women singing a song. On the porch many people enjoyably partook in a great feast on the table. I have a younger sister who died young, unmarried. I saw her in the dream combing her hair. She was dressed well and left the house, saying that she had somewhere to go.
After the cheondosik
Beginning the day after the cheondosik, I had the same dream for three days in a row. On the first day, there was a maiden bathing in a stream. As the scene changed, the woman went out of a house and offered me a bowl of water. After drinking it, I said to her, “You look much more beautiful than before.” I suppose that she was my older sister, who died young when I was a kid.
On the second day, many people were coming towards me on an unpaved road. I didn’t recognize them, apart from one girl. She looked five to six years old and wore a pretty dress. The image of her was so vivid that even now I can draw a detailed picture of her. I suppose that she was my other older sister, who passed away at the age of five or six.
On the third day, my mother, dressed in formal attire, was holding the Dojeon at her side and leaving the house to study. There was also a teacher giving a lecture on a low wooden platform. My mother attended the lecture while reading her Dojeon. I attribute that to my offering the Dojeon to her during the cheondosik.
