Experiences of changes in self and relationship perception among middle-aged women through an Ogong philosophy-based generative AI meditation program: A multiple case study analysis
Journal of Meditation based Psychological Counseling April 30, 2026 J. Kim
A guided imagery meditation program that combines generative AI with Seon Master Daehaeng's Hanmaum Ogong philosophy helped six middle-aged women experiencing existential anxiety and relational disconnection. Over eight sessions, participants showed that AI helped visualize and objectify unconscious content, their self-perception shifted toward autonomy reflecting the values of Gongsaeng and Gongche, and their relational patterns were reconfigured through intersubjective receptivity based on Gongsim and Gongyong. The circulation of life energy, rooted in existential connectivity and practical will, pointed toward holistic subjectivity by internalizing Gongche and Gongsik. The work suggests that blending traditional philosophy with AI offers a modern counseling and meditation framework.
