THE METHOD & PRACTICE

Understanding the Method

What exactly happens during a guided session?

Every session follows three steps: Recall, Reflect, Release. Your guide talks you through each one — what to bring to mind, how to observe it, and how to let it go. You are actively engaged the entire time, never sitting in silence wondering what to do.

How is this different from mindfulness or meditation apps?

Mindfulness trains you to observe your thoughts. This method goes further — it permanently removes the stored mental images generating those thoughts in the first place.

I can't sit still or quiet my mind — can I still do this?

A busy mind is exactly why you belong here. The method uses your active thoughts as raw material — you recall them so you can discard them. Restlessness is not a disqualification.

Is there scientific evidence that this works?

Yes. Peer-reviewed studies on Mind Subtraction Meditation show reductions in cortisol, anxiety, and aggression. Our member surveys report 97.7% experience measurable stress reduction and 93% report significant anxiety relief after three months.

GETTING STARTED

Getting Started

What happens on my first visit?

You meet one-on-one with a guide in a private room. They hear what brought you in, explain the method, and walk you through your first session. Plan for about an hour.

Do I need to book in advance, or can I just show up?

Walk-ins are welcome. Booking ahead ensures a guide is ready the moment you arrive. We are at 4411 30th St, Suite 103 in North Park — free street parking on Meade Ave and surrounding streets.

How often should I come, and what does long-term progression look like?

Most members notice shifts within the first few sessions. Coming 3–5 times per week accelerates progress. The curriculum has structured levels — from daily stress to deep-rooted patterns — and your personal guide tracks your progress throughout.
