For the second consecutive year, we went down with a group of qigongers to Spanish Almunecar for a week’s training course the last week of April. Like last year, it became a strong and nice week for the participants and several of them want to sign up for the next year’s trip.
We lived directly at the Mediterranean Sea and practised together on the beach, with the horizon in front of our eyes. We followed the Spanish way with siesta in the afternoon. In addition to the morning practice at the beach, the qigong training was scheduled to later in the morning and in the afternoon. Even then, we practised at the top of our hotel with amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea.
In the middle of the week we went for a day trip, up in the mountains and visited one of the so-called “white villages”. When the Moors were defeated by the Christians at the end of the 15th century, the Muslim population moved into the mountains where the villages they built up still exist today. We had a beautiful day in clear air at 1200 meters altitude.
The evaluation after the course showed that all highly appreciated the trip and our joint training course. Everyone agreed that we would arrange such trips for years to come.
Comments from the written evaluation:
“Thanks for a very well arranged trip, good balance between exercise and leisure. I’ve had such a good time and fun here. “
“The trip is fantastic and I really think it should continue. Great with both exercise and vacation. Thank you for a great training course. It gives so much energy to cope with everyday life. “
“Now on this course I have decided to come to the summer course in Nossebro because I have noticed that it does me good to practise together with “like-minded”. These days have meant a lot to me. Many thanks.”
“Perfect place for a qigong course! And comfortable with dinner at the hotel! “
Comments from the circle call:
Thawed
“I was frozen stiff both physical and mental when I came here, I was like a robot. Now I’m totally thawed! I had pain everywhere and was depressed before, it’s better now. I had trouble in the joints, which I was worried about – now I feel nothing!!! I trust this is a good method. “
Meet People
“This is my first longer course, I just done weekend courses earlier. It has been great and I want to keep on practising. Great layout with times. And so good to meet people, to talk about qigong, which there is not enough time to do on a weekend course. I want to go to the summer course and come here next year.”
Gluten Problem Decreased
“Really nice! I have not done a longer course in a year since I gave birth to a child, meant less training. Tightened in the back, neck and shoulders. Has started to solve now of the training. It works on my left side while I practise. My problems with gluten have decreased, have become much better. I’m so excited – great!”
Nice to Practise
“Been nice to practise, good corrections. The location and the hotel are great. Now I’m aiming for Shenxin in Finland, summer course, autumn course, etc.”
“It’s nice with a break from a hectic life at home, to unwind. There has been a lot happening in the body here, now it’s summer course next. “
“Have been nice to come here, was heavy at home. Is more relaxed now.”
“Was amazing last year, so even this year. Magic to practise on the beach. Great here and the people are amazing.”
Strong Qi-field
“Great I went here. Was tough before, could not take my medicine when I had an infection. Have been better here, have had a good focus and enjoyed the existence. Despite severe pain, they also have become better. I have great gratitude. Going home with a happy mind. Have been very strong qi-field down here – same like on summer course.”
“Very well arranged. Great and strong course. Sooo strong despite less training and just basic course exercises. Very good.”
My Arm is Better
“Very satisfied, both last year and the same this year. We will be back. My left arm was strange, had difficulty turning up my palm. Now I can turn my hand completely without pain.”
Rheumatic Disease
“Have been practising for 12 years, but this is the first time with more training. Have been very nice! Fantastic! I have easy to worry about, with a lot of thoughts in my head. Occasionally here it has been clear in my head. I have a rheumatic disease which gives me crooked toes. Throughout the week, it felt like the left foot was straightened out. It looks the same as before but it can be used much better now. It is more stable. I am very pleased. Lovely people here.”
Feeling Better
“I’m grateful, have been very good training. Have been practising 2-3 years, feeling much better now. Earlier, I had pain in my head, ate tablets all the time, as well as heartburn. Have not needed it now. Being calmer in the head, could have been here despite much to do at home.”
“I came here thanks to the autumn course in Finland. More stress resistant and calmer now. Have been well corrected. It’s good with leisure time in between. When I have laid down, I have fallen asleep immediately and woken up before the clock rings.”
Back Pain Gone
“Have been very good here. I did not do qigong practise last week and got pain in my back but now it is good again. Thanks for a really nice course!”
Slept Better
“Perfect with a trip and qigong. STRONG practise. I have problems with my right side and when I moved to a new place I hit an old injury. It has gotten better here and I can walk better. I’ve got big sleeping problems, but also that have gotten better here during the week. Tonight, I did not get up once and I was alert in the morning. Everything is wonderful! I am full of energy now.”
Legs Recovered
“Otherwise, I’m just training at home so it’s been great to be able to come here. I am very pleased. My legs feel much better. It has been so strong here!”
Come Back Next Year
“I will be back next year! Thank you, I could not have enough, dare for more.”
“I want to come back! Great layout with free time, good place and everything. THANKS!”
