If you go to the 3rd floor of the Catholic Center next to Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul, you will find a 'funny priest'. He is Father Hong Seong-nam (67), the director of the Catholic Spiritual Psychology Counseling Center. If you laugh at the funny priest's words, a thousand-year-old stagnation will soon go away. That is why he is also called a 'relieving counselor'. While others are preparing for retirement, he says that it is just the beginning. Following 'You Have to Strip to Live', 'Quit Being a Good Person', and 'Get Angry When You're Angry and Rest When You're Tired', he has now published 'Father Hong Seong-nam's Laughter Prescription' (Animus) and 'How to Heal Your Mind Alone' (Catholic Publishing House) at the same time. We met Father Hong and heard about ways to look into and control your mind. #Father Hong Seong-nam #SpiritualStage #HowToLetGoOfYourMind ---------------------------- Healing & Meditation Content Hyesimjeong http://www.hani.co.kr/arti/well/ Hyun Jo, Religion Specialist Reporter & Editorial Writer, The Hankyoreh A reporter for 30 years at The Hankyoreh, working as a religious meditation specialist for 20 years.
